Chapter 205 - Blood Rain
Adrik scooped her up in a bridal style and carried her out of the bathroom. He got to the bed and gently laid her down, then covered her with the blanket and got in to lie down beside her. As the clock ticked off, they slowly drifted off to sleep.
...
"Ahhhh!!" Leia screamed as she glanced down to realize that she was standing at the edge of a cliff and staring down into a blue ocean.
She hurriedly stepped back as her heart skipped a bit, and she nervously glanced around her surroundings with a deeply creased brow. "Where am I?" She questioned herself and raised her eyes to glance at the bright sky.
A quick breath escaped her nose and she swallowed to calm herself down, then turned around and began to walk away to find a way out of there. However, she suddenly realized that the area was totally unknown to her. It was like a different world that looked much like the human world, but it looked more beautiful because of its nature.
The place was a field and was filled with different beautiful short flowers. She could call this a garden, but a very vast one. At the far end were tall trees whose leaves danced by the serene wind that blew.
A sudden smile emerged on her face, and she found herself immersed in the beauty of this place. It was just so comforting and gave her a sense of familiarity.
But, at that moment when she was enjoying and admiring this place, a strange phenomenon happened, which had the smile on her face slowly disappearing and anxiousness taking over her.
A wind rumbled above the sky and the bright white clouds began to darken, changing into a completely different color. "W-what is going on?" She instantly became panic-stricken as the time changed from a sunny afternoon to twilight. She instantly began to glance around and started to take a step back, ready to run. However, what happened next had her halt and become motionless.
A rough wind vigorously blew, fluttering her hair and the clothing she wore, and that's when she realized that she was dressed in another clothing and not her pyjamas. Her clothing was a white dress with milk-colored flower designs on it that reached her feet.
How did she get into this outfit, and where, in the fucking world is she? These questions whirled in her mind, and she immediately glanced up when she saw the moon brighten up, almost burning her eyeballs and turning her blind if she had not averted her gaze. "What the fuck?" She furiously rubbed her burning eyes and abruptly halted when something liquid dripped on her shoulder.
Her eyes fluttered, and she glanced at her shoulder only to find out it was a red liquid. She rubbed it off and proceeded to leave the place. Yet another liquid dropped on her body, and she glanced at her arm to realize that it was the same red liquid. Where the hell is this coming from? Her heart rushed to her throat as she raised her head to look up at the sky, and her body began to shiver uncontrollably.
Above the sky, the moon and the clouds were turning completely red, tainting the sky with what looked like blood.
Leia immediately rubbed off the liquid that dripped on her body and smelled it. To her horror, it was blood.
"B-blood!!" Her body trembled and she gulped hard, trying to calm herself down. However, a loud shrill resounded, causing her to cover her ears, which bled painfully and fall on her knees to the ground. "Ahhh!!" She screamed in pain as her ear felt like thousands of drum sticks were being used on it.
She quickly wiped off the blood seeping from her ears, then proceeded to stand up, but then she saw dead bodies with blood all over their bodies, falling to the ground and tinting the flowers and green grass. She immediately fell on her butt in fear and began to crawl away, her chest rising and falling as she tried to catch her breath.
Her back suddenly jammed into something and she quickly turned her head only to cry out loud at what she saw.
Before her, stood Shawn, with a sword thrust into his stomach and blood oozing out at a rapid pace.
She hurriedly stood up, rushed up to him and held him down before he could fall, then cupped his cheek to make him look at her. "Sh-Shawn..." She stuttered as tears dropped from her eyes and Shawn, who was in her arms, looked at her and smiled, then his body instantly burned to ashes and dissipated into thin air.
Shocked, Leia immediately flinched away and her heart thumped rapidly within her. "W-what is... going on?" She asked with a cracked voice as her eyes nervously darted at the dead bodies falling to the ground and piling up on each other.
Thunder rumbled in the sky and it began to rain. However, this was not just rain, it was blood rain. The red liquid poured on Leia and she glanced up at the sky with a horrid expression on her face.
She roughly wrapped her arms around her body, brushing her hands up and down to cleanse the blood from her body. The blood rain became heavy and unstoppable.
Leia began to breathe heavily, as though she was out of breath, and she shuddered uncontrollably.
"Little wife..." That one voice she knew too well suddenly called out to her, and she hurriedly turned her gaze to the edge of the cliff where the voice came from. There, Adrik, who was clad in complete white clothing which was already tainted by the blood rain, stood with a pessimistic expression on his face and tears streaming down his face.
"Adrik!" She screamed his name with joy in her tone and hastily rushed off to get to him. However, just as she was about to approach him, a silver arrow flew from nowhere and penetrated straight into his stomach. As though that was not enough, another two silver arrows flew and mercilessly infiltrated his stomach, this time forcefully pushing him off the cliff.
"Leia!!" He screamed her name as he fell off the cliff, and Leia rushed up to the ridge to grab him. "Adrik!" She proceeded to jump off the cliff after him, but at that moment, something hit her...
....
"Adrik!" Leia's eyes sprang open, and she sat up on the bed with her chest rising and falling in fear and her body shivering uncontrollably.
"Little wife." Adrik, who was lying beside her, instantly woke up, on hearing her scream his name and grabbed her by the shoulder.. "Little wife, I am here."
