Chapter 108: Red Lily
’Is it the effect of the curse as well?’ Vritra wondered, his eyes widening in shock. Then it is quite terrifying. It took over a dozen hours to take effect and no one seemed to have noticed anything.
"Hubby, y- you... why are you bleeding as well?" Yasmine’s bewildered and worried voice sounded in Vritra’s head, jolting him out of his thoughts.
"..." Vritra touched his upper lip and indeed there was blood, though there wasn’t as much as the others. Only a few drops of blood had leaked from his nose, while for others, it was as if a blood tap had been turned on, as blood began to pour down faster.
"Huh? W- Why am I bleeding? What’s going on?" Soon the people began to notice the terrifying changes. They didn’t feel any pain, but they were terrified as they held their noses, yet blood continued to pour out from the space between their fingers.
"S- Sir, did you punish us—?" All the eyes were first drawn towards Vritra. They wondered if he had punished them all for failing their task, but they saw a few drops of blood trickling down on his face as well.
"What’s happening? Ughhh s- so much blood is leaking!!! I am going to die, all of us are going to die. We should never have stepped into this cursed place. What are we going to do?"
All the people panicked. They screamed and prayed. Good and evil had mixed at this point; the fear of death remained the same for both.
"Calm down, everyone. I know what is going on, and I have a plan to get us all out of here." Vritra’s loud voice filled the space, and all the hopeful gazes were drawn towards him, as more sin points poured.
