Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 419

"Stephie!"

Steven was yelling. He wanted to stop me, but Eason was hugging his legs, holding him back.

Dragging the ax Joel left on the floor, I made my way down the hall.

I stepped on the tiles one by one as though I knew that those weren't a trap.

Upon closer inspection, the trap was right above where the dominos fell.

I walked toward the center and looked up at the projector. Furious, I smashed it.

The projector was destroyed. The girl who was projected slowly blurred and then disappeared.

However, she soon reappeared from the projector on the right.

"Congratulations, Stephie. You've learned how to be angry."

She was mocking me.

She was trying to provoke me.

I broke one projector after another before slumping listlessly on the floor.

After all the projectors were gone, the bloody head on the floor slowly dissipated as well.

It was a hologram; it wasn't actually Rachel's head.

But I had to admit, they actually managed to anger me.

I got up and started axing the floor, trying to create an opening. I desperately clawed at the tiles until my hands bled.

"Rachel…" I cried, my tears dripping onto the tiles.

"Rach!" I screamed and cried her name as I tried to pry the tiles open like a madwoman.

Come out…

Don't die.

Steven pushed Eason aside. He followed the marks on the floor and made his way over. He tried to stop me but was pushed aside.

I felt numb as my tears fell onto the ground.

Through the gap, I could see Rachel down the abyss. She was barely alive, and she looked as though she was about to drown in a pool of blood.

Yet, I couldn't save her.

"Have you lost all hope, Stephie? Does it feel suffocating?" The voice rang out again. "You're human, and humans have feelings and desires."

Hopeless?
