Villain of my own novel-Chapter 143 142. Despair (2).
?"Ah." Isha at the Sunshine Orphanage..... Or what was left of it.
The Sunshine Orphanage was now in ruins with blooded debris scattered around, and in the scene were Vinny who had sat down, Jiwoo was standing next to Vinny with a lost expression, Katline seemed to have cried as her eyes had turned red, Katharine and Violet too had tears streaming down their cheeks while puke was next to Katharine, Vinny, Jiwoo were on the right corner of the ruins while Katharine and Violet were on the left while Katline was peeking at the bodies as if she was investigating something.
"W-why?" Isha mumbled and trembling in Eshwar's arms while tears trickled down.
THROB
Isha felt her heart clench and her whole body lost strength if not for Eshwar who was still holding her in his arms she would have collapsed on the ground. At that moment, the only thing that kept her sane while the gruesome scene instilled in her mind was Eshwar's warmth, she had placed her hands on his chest to push him away, but because he held her firmly, she still held on to herself only because she could feel Eshwar's racing heartbeat.
SWOOOMMM
CRA-CRACK (4x)
RUMBLE (3x)
Suddenly, everything around her was engulfed by a gloomy darker purple hue, and every single debris was covered in a thin layer of that hue, slowly rising to air, and bodies of the academy's children slowly rose above ground and laid on the ground in front of what remained of the Sunshine Orphanage, and possibly due to the sudden mana fluctuation, people began to gather, including the people from the association.
STEP-STEP (5x)
"Sir Eshwar, please back off, the association will handle from here." Seo Hana walked up to Eshwar and Isha with a solemn expression and said.
"Eh?" Isha snapped out of her trance when she heard her words.
"How dare...." Isha glared at Seo Hana while tears continued to stream down, but then suddenly something unexpectedly expected happened.
"Ukh!!?" Everyone in the area knelt with their heads down, including the people from the association with the exception of Isha, as groans filled the air.
"Hush." Eshwar placed his right index finger on his lips and said in a low tone, and the entire area instantly turned silent as the temperature dropped by few degrees.
"Ah." Isha glanced at Eshwar and noticed that his face had turned cold while crimson red and dark cyan colours rippled on the darker purple hue that covered him.
'Anger and grief...' Isha briefed due her habit, subconsciously.
"...." Isha then turned to were the bodies of the Orphanage's children laid.
"....Ah." Isha's gaze fell on Anuke's body, which had turned cold; she extended her left hand as if trying to reach her, but Isha's knees gave way and she slumped in Eshwar's arms; she then glanced at Eshwar while her right fingernails dug into his chest until they bled.
"P-please." She mumbled in a low voice and stared down at the ground while tears streaming down her cheeks.
'You're late.' Anuke's annoyed voice rang in her head, every time she would have happily apologized, but this time she felt as if her heart was being pressed down by an unknown weight, making her think that maybe they lost their lives because of her.
"Y-yes, I'm sorry I'm late." Isha mumbled in her head down, and the ground changed to a slightly more blooded one as her gaze moved to Anuke's face, which seemed to be filled with pain, and that face made Isha feel like her heart had been torn apart.
Anuke's body didn't have any limbs attached to her while the blood flowing out had stopped, there was a giant slash in the middle of her small body and a black bruise on her left cheek which seemed to have broke her jaw and cheekbone.
Isha was two steps away from Anuke's body, kneeling down with her shoulders slouched forward while staring at the dead bodies of the children who she saw every day and thought that these kids were enough for her to be happy...
SWISH
A cold breeze blew across her face, snapping her out of her trace, she instantly crawled towards Anuke's dead body, picked her head up, placed it on her lap and slightly tapped on her right cheek as if she was trying to wake her up from her sleep.
"O-oi. Oo-i, A-A-Anuke?" Isha called lovingly with a painful looking smile while tears streamed down profusely.
"A-Anu-Anuke? Way-wake up, huh?" She called while stuttering.
"Ah, A-Anuke!? Haa.... L-look b-bi-big si-sis-sister and bi-big b-bro-brother is.... Haa, please...." She mumbled and pressed her lips and closed her eyes.
"Oi, Anu-Anuke!?" She screamed and opened her blurry eyes to stare at Anuke.
"Haa... Look b-bi-big b-bro-brother is h-here, haha, haa, d-don't y-you wa-want t-to ri-ride the u-unicorn?" Isha asked while taking deep breaths which left her body the next second and just as she said those words Eshwar who stood right next to her winced as his brows trembled.
"Please! Haa.... Oo-i! Please? Please wake up!" She pleaded.
"Pl-please. Esh-Eshwar, say some-something?" Isha glanced at Eshwar for a split second and looked back at Anuke.
"..." Eshwar simply stared at her with his brows trembling.

"Pl-please. Esh-Eshwar, say some-something?" Isha looked at me with a pained expression on her face, I felt my heart tighten.
'Please stop.' I said inwardly, strangely enough my mouth didn't seem to open as if a lump was stuck in my throat, the scene in front of me was too heart wrenching, but I couldn't find any tears to shed as I stared at the scene, my head hurt as my heart ached and no....
I still didn't feel anything for thinking about Anuke as a 'necessary sacrifice' or maybe.....
I did.
THROB
My heart throbbed at the thought, as if to confirm my thoughts; Isha's state pained me even more; she tried to hold on, but she appeared to have lost her sanity... Or she simply denied reality.
PANG
A sudden pang appeared in my mind and some images of Isha flashed through my mind, Isha was walking towards me in the middle of an empty green grass field with a bright beautiful smile on her face and that image changed into one where she had an indifferent and proud expression on her face as she stared down at me while the ground around me froze, continuously and again the scenery changed and now I was in a wooden warm and cozy house where I followed Isha who climbing the stairs from behind while admiring her figure...
PANG
A different scene appeared in front of my eyes, I stared at Isha who glared and roared indistinguishable words at the sky before collapsing in front of me with a smile on her face and her eyelids slowly lower and I could feel that she had died, and abruptly an unquenchable thirst for vengeance and an unimaginable amount of pain crept up from the bottom of my heart and engulfed my entire being.
PANG
Another pang appeared in my mind, and everything vanished, and I was back at the scene, behind Isha, who was still denying reality, and the throbbing in my heart continued; I couldn't take it any longer, and....

"..." I knocked Isha unconscious and lifted her up like a princess and turned back before disappearing from the spot I stood.
