I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 135: TRAPPED IN A DREAM: PART 1

Gil is still inside the office of Evelyn helping her out. He saw her massaging her temple and he knew she needed a break or better yet a sleep.

"Child, you should sleep first, you've been up since two days ago."

"I'm fine"

Gil looked at her again and sharpened his grey eyes that bore in the paled face of Evelyn that seems to be telling her current state.

"You know what this is enough, you should sleep."

"What? I'm seriously fine.!"

"No, Child, No means NO!"

Evelyn stares at Gil walking to where she is sitting and pulling her up and getting the quill pen out of her hands and throwing her out of her own office.

Thud!

"What just happened?"

She looked back at the white door that is now closed, she tried to open it and Gil locked it from the inside.

"What the- Gil!"

"No! I called a maid already, so go and sleep!"

Dejected. Evelyn walks to her room as her maid leads her. 

Click! Thud! 

The door went open and Evelyn immediately went to the bed, now that the motivation of finishing the documents was snatched away from her, all the fatigue came like the waves of the ocean.

"My lady, the bath is ready."

"Thanks"

After she has her long bath and freshens up, she looks at the door of her cabinet where a mirror is placed on one side of the door.

"Wow, I looked like a zombie"

She immediately understood why Gil decided to toss her out of the room.

"I should sleep, Gil can do the rest of the necessary documents"

She walks into her bed and slides into the soft mattress. Evelyn felt that it's been so long since she became this tired. A while later, she found herself closing her eyes and unconsciously she dived into a deep sleep.

***

Evelyn found herself in a dark room, tied up and her mouth gagged. She looked down at herself and saw that she was in a pale pink dress.

'Huh? Since when am I tied up?'

She looked at her messed up situation and saw bruises and scratches on her legs. Evelyn scrunched her face.

'It doesn't hurt? And why are my legs so small? Is this mine? Did I possess someone's body? What's happening? This looks familiar though?'

She thought as she assessed her surroundings. It was dark with a little bit of light coming from a torch that was hanging on the concrete wall. That was all it was.

"Hey! When will the boss come and pick this little girl?"

"I just received the information, we need to get her out of here and leave her in the estate. She's going to be a bait."

"Then we will get our share, right? Hahahah!"

'I heard this before a dream? I'm inside my dream? I should wake up!' Evelyn tried to do everything, closing her eyes with all she got and trying to wake her brain up. Even though she found out that she's inside this ridiculous dream that she wants to forget, here she is, tied up and can't do anything.

'Shit!'

The sound of men's voices were getting nearer as well as their footsteps. Evelyn immediately closed her eyes as she was still trying to figure out why she can't get out of this bad dream. 

Creaaaaak!

The closed door swung open and the voices of the kidnappers can be heard again.

"Oh, she's still knocked down."

One of the men kicked the child's abdomen and Evelyn who was pretending to be asleep knew what was happening but pretended to sleep. More like, her body won't listen to her.

'This damn memory!' she thought.

What she was doing right now was exactly what happened that day! Evelyn then heard the other guy answer.

"It's because you punch her, idiot!'

"But you kick her just now. hahaha!"

"Kekeke! That's fine, the boss said, as long as the child is breathing it's fine."

"Hahahahal!"

'Fucker! Why the hell am I not waking up!' Evelyn felt frustrated in her small body that was tied up with a chain that is equipped to block mana.

Her body looks like a vegetable while the man carries her like a bag in his arms. The small Evelyn pretended to sleep that time. 

When she was a child, she didn't know that this world was part of a book, in short, she didn't have her old memory when she was a college student and her name was Adelyn Dashton.

So, simply put, the small Evelyn that time was afraid and didn't know what to do. That was what is happening in her dream right now. Everything that happened that day seems to be repeating and the present Evelyn's can't do anything about it.

'Ah shit! Am I just going to sit tight and see this again?!'

Evelyn really felt frustrated!

Thud!

Her body was tossed inside a sack and she opened her eyes. She was getting anxious but decided to face it.

'If I can't wake up, what can I do shit! Am I just going to watch this till the end?!'

Well, she's not really watching it, but experiencing it again as the small Evelyn. Her consciousness is the only thing that is working in her own dream.

Her body that was inside the sack was tied in the horse and clack! Clack! Just like baggage she was tossed around in the sack every time the horse walked or ran in the unpaved road.

Neighhhhh!

"Whooa! We should stop here. I got the report that Sir Carsillion has averted the Duke's leads and the estate will have less security and only the duchess and her son."

Evelyn just heard it just like what she heard when she was small. She closed her eyes and tried to wake herself up.

'I don't want this! I don't want to see this!' she thought as she struggled to leave this nightmare.

"Position! The mages will be at the back and us will handle the knights!"

The supposed leader of the kidnappers said. Evelyn then heard a voice. A low and cold voice.

"Is the child in there?"

She flinched. More likely, the small Evelyn flinched.

"Oh I think she's awake now."

The brown sack that she was in was flung on the ground and she grind her teeth and a sound of her hissing can be heard.

"Open the bag."

The small Evelyn squinted her eyes as she was blinded by the sudden intrusion of light.

"So, this is her child. Monica looks like her."

"Mpphf"

Evelyn then saw the man, he was wearing a mask on his face that only his lower lips can be seen. The man's eyes are cold and sharp like the abyss and his crimson hair fluttered in the wind. He was tall and was looking at Evelyn with coldness and sharpness like a sharp knife.

"Hahaha! How lovely, looked at her crying I wonder if this was your mother's face when she cried seeing you?"

The man put his hand on his chin like he was curious and was thinking about the possible face of Evelyn's mother.

"I'm sure, that would also be one of the beautiful faces I will see! Hahaha!"

'Bastard!'

Evelyn can only curse in her mind as her body was restricted and the events have already passed. She can't do anything about the situation as she was in her dreams and her dreams are her dark memory as the child Evelyn. 

So, Evelyn can only memorize his voice and all the indications that will lead to this man. That man spoke again with a mock tone as he saw the young's Evelyn scared face.

"You'll be a bait for your mom. Then, I'll get to kill her and I'll get what I needed from her"

The man's face that his lower lips can only be shown smiled viciously and laughed at the young Evelyn. The present Evelyn felt how her young self was scared. Anger rushed to her.

'Damnit! Even in a dream I can't do anything! Fvck!'

Evelyn can only grit her teeth as she cursed every single thing that she's witnessing right now, again!

"We're here!"

"Ohhh! The mansion is wrecked!" exclaimed one of the men of the Kidnapper.

A man dressed in a butler uniform can be seen running to them. Evelyn also saw this.

'Ha!'

Evelyn laughs at herself. The guy that was in a butler uniform is her old personal butler. Once again she is frustrated to see this.

"Did you do what the master said?"

"Yes, sir. All the servants have been killed and knocked down. We also scattered mana disturbance tools."

"Perfect!" The masked man said.

"Let's see what my dear Monica would do hehehahaha!"

While they were waiting in the back garden of the mansion, they heard a loud BOOM! That came from the inside of the mansion.

"She's here, master." The leader of the kidnapper said.

"Mmmpghh!"

The young Evelyn can only let out sounds of agony as her face was swept with tears and her face had bruises and cuts from the kidnappers beatings!

'No! Mother! Please don't come here! please!'

Evelyn pleaded in her consciousness as she felt useless as her whole body is tired and battered and she cant use her mana because of the chains that are blocking her from using her powers.

"Evelyn!"

The child heard a desperate cry of calling her name, she perked up and saw her mother running to where she was.

'Noooo! Mom! Don't come here, please!'

The present Evelyn still begged again and again even though she knew that this was a dream. Her heart is being torn to pieces as she knows what will happen to her mother.
