Chapter 415 - Memories

She was thinking of her parents who left her alone in this world, all by herself. She saw them dispersing into thin air while she stood there with one of her hands reaching for them.

But unlike before, they did not pick her up and she was left standing there alone wondering if they didn't want her anymore... 

And if this was her life from then on.

But...

But that was not the end of her dreams. She saw the time flashing in front of her eyes, she saw the world changing gradually, she saw a small hand reaching out to her amidst the darkness. 

She saw herself following that tiny hand of the girrl and walking out of everything that was trapping her. 

She saw the girl growing up into a beautiful woman and Mia remembered everything as the realize started dawning on her in her dreams. The illusion faded and she recognized everyone, Yu Mei was there, Jun Zixuan was there....

And she saw him, the person who quietly pulled her into his arms when she was sitting on the seashore, looking at the sky and crying quietly. The man who didn't mind her cold words and uncaring tone, who took all her tantrums and made food for her, knowing how much she liked the food he cooked. 

She saw him holding her closer to him while he made love to her.... And she remembered him stroking her back when she slept in his arms. 

But the place started shattering and all of a sudden, the world in front of her eyes changed. She found herself standing in an empty place, walls filled with blood, cliffs surrounding her and every human she saw turned into a faraway image. 

And she was all alone once again, just like before when her parents left.

All she felt was a numbness in her body and emptiness in her chest as she looked at the gradually darkening sky. 

She did not know how long she stood there for but she knew it was way too long and even when she tried to move, it was as if she was chained to the place, unable to move, unable to walk away. She was just left there standing quietly, feeling a huge hole in her chest. 

And all of a sudden, there was a prickly sensation on her back. She tried to reach for her back but her hands did not move. With every passing second, her pain intensified but maybe it was because her body was numb, even though she felt the pain, she could not feel it that much. 

It was weird until she felt a burning sensation on her back and her breathing turned uneven, the pain this time felt so real that she could feel her fingers shaking. 

Just when she thought it was over, she felt another hit on her back which was followed by one more and it kept going on until she felt her skin being ripped. She bent forward, spatting a mouthful of blood. 

Mia slumped on the ground, realizing that she was suddenly able to move. The feeling of being chained disappeared as she moved on the ground weakly. 

Her body convulsed as she felt another hit on her and all of a sudden, she felt her insides burning. Somehow she recognized this familiar burn, it always happened to her whenever she was unable to control her powers or whenever she over exerted it. 

Her fingers curled into a fist and sweat droplets rolled down her forehead as she writhed in pain. The crimson birthmark on her forehead started growing and as she looked at the dark sky, her hazel eyes started to turn hazy as they changed colours. 

Her pain, her emptiness, her sadness, every emotion she felt turned clouded gradually and her eyes turned nonchalant. 

Her body convulsed for a few seconds before it calmed down as she lied on the ground, with her silver hair splawed near her shoulder and as her body curled up slightly, she transformed into a baby fox. 

9 tails appeared on her body but 8 of them were almost looking transparent like illusions while 1 of them was real... 

And when she opened her eyes again, she was welcomed by the sight of humans... Some looked familiar, but she did not remember them, some unfamiliar but she did not like them. They touched her while she was asleep and the audacity they had to do it!

Her blood voiled with rage and she ripped the man's neck open for being audacious enough to try to approach her again....

And everything that happened later was dancing right in front of her eyes. 

As Han Sheng saw the fox staring at him quietly, he shivered. There was no expression in the pair of red eyes but somehow, it still sent a chill down his spine when he looked into them.

''No!!'' Han Sheng screamed when the fox extended one of its paw towards his hand. 

Mia glanced at him in disgust before she looked at his palm which was stained with blood. The familiar blood.

Along with the disgusting human's blood, she sensed the presence of another kind of blood which she felt somewhat familiar with. 

She closed her eyes and a series of memories that belonged to Han Sheng started flashing in her mind one after another. But amongst all those memories, two of them caught her attention because of a familiar looking face.

She saw a boy lying bruised and bloodied on the floor while this man kept beating him with a whip again and again and in the next piece of memory too, she saw a similar scene. It was the scene from some time ago where Han Sheng was beating Han Jian Yu on the terrace, just like he did before, 

Mia's brows tugged together and as she opened her eyes, her gaze was clearer than before, her red eyes gradually turned back to their original colours, hazel.
