" Her vitals are okay, her wounds are all healed so there's nothing to be worried about. Regarding her loss of memory, that could be due to shock or trauma caused by how heavily she hit her head, but I'm sure she'd recollect her memories with time ", the doctor explained to Docherty and Ember after examining her.
" Okay, thanks doctor", her father thanked the doctor, " so now there's nothing to be worried about ",
" What about her eyes? Any explanation for that?", Ember asked,
" So strange there's no explanation to that, might be the cause of her hitting her head which I doubted, but I'll work on figuring out what led to that, but for now, there's no cause for alarm",
" Okay doctor, thank you so much",
" You're welcome".
The both of them see the doctor off before returning inside, where Elora is waiting for them by the stairs.
" Elora", Docherty called seeing her standing by the stairs, " are you okay?",
" When is my wedding preparation getting started?",
" What?! Are you crazy?!!", Naya yelled in her head upon hearing Elora's question.
( Back to the present: The wedding day)
When her father permitted her to be killed, she wasn't shocked, nor was she surprised; her chest felt opened with desperation and anticipation of a wolf's teeth and claws piercing into her skin as she was being pinned to the floor.
Elora's face curled up into a devilish smile; she needed the rescue with death to free her from this endless pain and rage that was inundating her soul. Her eyes watch the chairs that were supposed to be devised perfectly now scattered all over. Werewolves who ought to be sitting and clapping are now covered with sweat, blood, and anger, all shouting and screaming, pointing at her, and rushing some lifeless werewolves away.
The moment her eyes fell on Jordan, her heart skipped so hard before tightening against the sternum. She realized at that moment that she had failed. She could feel her body being dragged away but her eyes couldn't tear off him, her angered eyes glaring at him, if she wasn't there that night, she'd have said he doesn't deserve it, she'd have fallen into guilt by seeing the pain and disappointment in his eyes, she'd have run into his arms to make sure that expression on his face vanished but right now, at this moment, even that expression pisses her off, he doesn't deserve to put on that expression, he deserved to die.
Elora fell roughly on her knees as she was pushed into the cell.
" You're crazy, and you're going to pay with your life," the werewolf guard spat on her before locking the cell and walking away.
" I failed", Elora muttered the moment she was left alone.
" Are you crazy? Your plan was to get us killed?", Naya yelled,
" Why didn't he die? I should have shot him first; he should be dead", she kept saying, biting her finger as she stood on her feet, ignoring her bruised and peppering knee.
" You're still thinking of killing him? When you should be worried about what's going to happen to us, is it that your brain is not working?",
" I should do something",
" Oh, now you know",
" Yeah, I need a new plan on how to kill him".
" Oh, the moon!".
She could feel Naya slap her forehead, but it wasn't any of her concern.
" Are you stupid? Why are you so unreasonable? If you don't value your life, then respect the fact that you're my vessel. What exactly did he do that makes you lose your damn senses, did he cheat on you?...",
" That would have been better", Elora replied gritting her teeth, " cheating on me would have been great",
" Then what did he do? What petty anger are you carrying to have committed such sin!",
" Petty anger?", Elora yelled, " who are you to call my anger petty?",
" I'm the moon goddess, and this foolish action of yours could impede my goal and aim".
Elora ran her fingers through her hair roughly looking like she was about to lose her sanity, " your goals and aims? Do I look like I give a damn about it?", she yelled, " you're so arrogant and selfish and I desperately wish to kill you the most", she said and punched the wall too hard that causes her pain.
She groaned in pain but heard Rionaya also groaning.
" What kind of a crazy vessel am I trapped into? "she said amidst her groans, " now you want to break my fingers?".
Elora ignored the pain and her shaking fingers and just stood still for two seconds before bursting into loud laughter. Naya looked stunned, confirming that her vessel had run mad.
Amidst laughter, Elora cracked, "Do you know one thing I love most about this situation? This moment, I'm about to kiss the gods".
She laughed out so loud that her eyes got teary, unmoved by the strange expression shot at her by the guards.
" There's nothing funny about this situation, and I don't think you're capable of being in control of this body",
" Did you realize?" she asked, smiling mischievously, " that you can feel the pain too; when I'm hurt, you also feel it; it is almost as if it happened directly to you. And here I am, wondering so hard how to kill you, and it was romantically presented to me", she said and burst into another loud laughter.
Naya could feel her breath rising and falling; she had never felt this helpless and powerless, nor had she ever met a creature this crazy.
" Ugh!", Elora groaned, her laughter vanishing and getting replaced with a hardened face and teary eyes, " petty anger, she said petty anger",
" You're weak, and you have no sense to think properly; there's no amount of pain that would make you this crazy; you're just being dramatic and unreasonable. "
Elora's anger skyrocketed, " Ahhhh!" she screamed, roughening her hair, her hands trembling with her lashes, battling a lot of tears back, " Who are you to judge my feelings? Who are you to insult my feelings when you're nothing but a brainless and arrogant regal? You said you're being punished but I can't see it, this thing you called punishment you don't even deserve it",
" You are...",
" How could you be the moon goddess?", Elora's rigid voice cut her short, " even if you don't deserve that title, shouldn't you be compassionate? Shouldn't you have something called mercy? But you're so arrogant and selfish",
" You know nothing about me",
" And so do you! You know nothing about me! You know nothing about how heavy my head feels and how suffocating my chest is that it is sometimes difficult to breathe", tears streamed down her cheeks as she spoke, "As if my pain isn't enough, her pains are also alive in my head, every bad memories of hers are in my head, till her last breath and isn't that tormenting enough?",
" What are you talking about?",
" Do you know how it feels to have your whole life switched with just a snap of a finger, to have everything so bright turned into darkness with no sign of light from anywhere? I'm drowning in confusion about how and why I have her memories." she fell on her knees weeping profusely, " I can't recognize my own anger; I can't recognize my pain cause hers feels like mine too. And it's all your fault, all of you ".
She stood up slowly; her tears stopped falling, and her hands curled up into fists as she clenched her jaw.
" Now it's my turn; I'm going to be all of you nightmare, a ticking bomb in your seat s," she smirked evilly, " I'm going to be the only villain in your life."
