Chapter 42 - I Will Never Accept It

She cussed herself many times in her heart when blood started to come out of her mouth too.

It was not that much as she had only consumed a few sips of it. But Elie was already unconscious and had coughed a lot of blood.

She knocked the door a few times with the false hope of getting pity from the predators and they would save, if not her then at least Elie. But soon her silver hopes were broken too.

She could hear the sound of laughter from the other side. They even have the audacity to laugh and show their presence after giving her poison. The sound of laughter overlapped with the mocking smile they had given her in her past life. Her intensity increased, she banged the door with all her might. If she could not be saved then she would better go and kill Amelia with her too.

Her eyes turned red as if all the blood capillaries of her eyes had burst. Blood continued to seep out of her mouth.

"If I am cough going to cough die cough again, I cough cough will kill cough cough you cough with me cough cough too." she snarled, but her voice came too low as her body was drained of all the energy, and each time she tried to speak, only blood came out of her mouth and she coughed fervently.

Her hands had almost turned bloody with the continuous knocks and slowly her breathing turned irregular. She stopped and tried to take a breath but it was getting more and more difficult.

She staggered and was about to fall when she held the table but it fell and she had to lean on the door to control her breathing and remain standing.

She heard the sound of footsteps coming closer as if the person who was waiting outside had come closer and leaned on the door to listen more carefully.

Ha! If she could not get out and punish a mermaid then how would she be able to kill Amelia who would have been guarded by all the knights and maids.

And even if she broke the door and they were able to go out they would not be treated, and would they be able to survive if they took a carriage and tried to run away? If she could not kill her and even survived, would her life be worth living? Wasn't her reason to live was taking her revenge?

She shook her head, they would possibly die before crossing the boundaries. Then her second life ended before she could even live it. Tears welled in her eyes but she looked above and blinked her eyes. She would not cry! She would not show her weakness even if it was her last moment. A mocking laugh formed on her face.

"If you wanted to take it away more miserably then why did you even give me a second chance? To drag another innocent life in it?" she looked at Elie whose face was turning purple and so was her body.

She was withering in pain! She was not even able to take breaths as her chest was heaving up and down like she had run marathons. She had held her neck with both hands as if an invisible force was strangling her.

Hazel felt her eyes getting blurry too and her knees giving away. She staggered and fell when she tried to come closer to Elie. her own dress had turned red and her hair was scattered all over her face. But she was not worried about her, she was just disappointed that her end was more miserable than her last life.

"I am sorry Elie." she whispered to the girl as she caressed her hair and closed her eyes but just when she was about to give it up her eyes fell on the conch on the floor.

"If you ever face any problem or need me. Just blow on it once and me or my men will be there to help you." his words flashed in her mind and a false ray of hope again filled her eyes.

She remembered she was holding it when she fell asleep. It must have fallen on the floor when she woke up with a start.

'Could it be a sign? Could it work and save both of them.' She tried to stand up but her knees were not working at all. Her whole face contorted yet she persisted to stand up but soon gave up. Her body was getting numb as if there was no life in it. While her internal organs were burning. She clenched her hands and tried to crawl this time. Slowly she crawled towards the conch.

It was the longest three steps of her life, she felt like she would never be able to reach the conch. It took all her strength and persistence to move her body. Blood started to come out as she coughed again and her eyes stung. Water started to come out from her eyes and cold sweat started to form on her body while she shivered.

"Whooshh....." she had thought a loud sound would come out of it, but when she tried to blew it, only blood filled it. She shook her head and took a deep breath but no matter how many times did she try it, she was not able to blew air into it.

"Once again, you gave hope and took everything away from me, if that is your justice then i would never accept it."
