Chapter 30 Chapter thirty
“Welcome to the first stage of your trial - overcoming personal flaws” a voice sounded.
I looked around in confusion to see what the trial will be but nothing happened. Suddenly, i felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. I looked back to see an exact replica of myself, but putting on school uniform.
“Hi Emma” she greeted narcissistically, flinging her hair. My eyes widened in shock and anger. Seeing my anger, she just grinned and began to walk away. I followed her limping with my injured leg, swearing under my breath to deal with her. But she just ignored me and continued moving.
Suddenly, she stopped and turned back to me, her face dark and cold. A heavy wind began to blow, whipping uo sand into my eyes.
“You're evil”
She suddenly said in a voice that isn't mine. I halted in my tracks my heart beating fast.
“Remember what you did to Nancy when you couldn't get Jason.?” She asked again twisting her hair with her fingers. I staggered back in shock and fear “H…how did you know that.?”
She laughed or rather crackled, her voice ringing in my ears. “You pushed her off the cliff when you couldn't get Jason Right.? You're evil…evil…” she continued her voice still shrill.
I covered my ears and screamed. Yes i know I've done evil things to people,but this girl's voice is too scary and i feel like I'm going to go psycho.
Jason Walker is my hot cousin that came to spend some time with us about two years ago. He has this forbidden body and i couldn't help myself but fall for him, not minding if he's my family.
But, due to some circumstances, he had to stay with us a little more. This made me elected because I'll have more time to pursue him. But he only loved me like a sister and by the time he resumed at my school, he fell for Nancy. The school nerd.!
I sent my minions several times to warn her to stay away from him, but she didn't listen. Then, our school hosted a field trip and when we went hiking in the forest, i stuck very close to her. When no one was looking, i pushed her off the cliffs.
Although she survived, she became a vegetable and Jason was devastated.
He didn't give up and took her to hospitals, to make sure she survives. Although his father's company was going under, he didn't mind and stole from the funds to pay the hospital bills. But no matter where they went, they were told that same thing. Her brain was dead from the height.
This made me furious. But i didn't give up trying to get him. I helped him with cash whenever he asked. But no matter how i seduced him, he always kept his boundaries.
The height of it all was when he sold his luxury car to pay a private doctor to take care of her pending when she'll wake up.
Jealousy overwhelmed me, when no one was looking, i snuck into her room and pulled off the machine from her face, watching with a grin as she breathed her last.
As i slowly recovered from the earlier fear, another of myself appeared.
“Remember when you made Collins commit suicide because of your bullying” she softly whispered in my ears.
“Remember when you put a cockroach in the food so the chief chef could be sacked”
“Remember how you shoved Janet's face into the toilet because she's better than you in mathematics”
Remember how you ran your car over that little boy because he insulted you at the park”
“Remember how you're always rude, full of yourself and pompous because of your family's wealth”
"Remember how you made Collins commit suicide because of your cyber bullying"
"Remember how you stole Jessica's project work and set it ablaze because you thought it was better than yours. Making her loose the scholarship she and her family depended on because she was seen as unserious"
By now, many versions of myself had appeared and surrounded me, accusing me of everything I've done wrongly. Tears began to flow from my eyes and i screamed at them in anguish to stop, but it worsened.
“You deserve to die”
“You can't be the princess of light, you're evil and hard heartened”
“See, you can't even pass the first stage of your trial because you're filled with impurity”
"Go to hell, you're not the princess of light, you're the princess of darkness"
They accused me. I looked down at my body in horror and saw I've begun to dissolve slowly, turning into black dust.
“No..!”
I screamed in fear and they began to laugh loudly, their voices ringing in unison.
“Good bye Emma, you're surely dying here”
One of them whispered to me. “No way..! I'm not going to die.! I know I've caused harm and brought pains to families. I acknowledge that and I'm sorry for them. I can't die..! I screamed.
Immediately i said this, they began to shrink. “Shut up.!” They commanded but I didn't heed.
“I ask for mercy from the heavens.! Take away my impurities and make me whole. The pains I've inflicted I'm sorry.! I truly regret them.” I continued screaming and as i did, i bursted into flames.
Pure white fire consumed me and i began to burn. As i closed my eyes, the scene of me pushing Nancy, her tear filled eyes and how she now only depended on machines to survive came rushing back. “This scars are part of me..!”
I screamed in anguish as i did, i noticed they couldn't get close to me anymore.
As i burned,black smoke emitted from my body, flying away with the wind. At last, the fire stopped and a burst of light busted out of my body, flying the shadow doppelgangers meters away. They screamed loudly again and turned into thin black smoke.
My ears began to ring loudly as if my head was about to split open and I passed out.
