Chapter 41: Heart Demons - Part 1
Huo sprinting at the fastest speed she can heads towards the main entrance of the mansion which has a box of flares for emergencies. Ripping open the box Huo quickly sets of the flare which lights the sky in red. Huo still incredibly worried about Sarah paced back and forth but knew that help was still going to take time.
Back in the room Sarah was intermittenly fallen in and out of consciousness because of the pain. Even with her tremendous willpower she could only manage to suppress the screams into groans, Ming'er at the side was extremely pale and was in shock at the sight of Sarah but quickly got over it and comforted her in the only way she knew how to. She grabbed Sarah's hand to let her know someone was with her so she would be able to perservere through this.
Seeing the flare being launched the elders rushed towards the area of the flare. Looking out of the window of his office the principal gained a dark look in his eyes, 'Who dares to cause trouble WITHIN MY ACADEMY!'. The first half of the principal's thought was calm yet once he reached the end he was fuming within his mind that one of the flares had been used within his term as principal. Seeing this flare was a sign of disrespect to the principal from outside forces that thought that his presence within the academy meant nothing and that thy could do what they want. Calming himself he goes back to his desk and rubs his temples before finishing up some more paperwork for the night before he calls for someone to brief him on the situation.
Sarah still in and out of consciousness is raging inside that she allowed herself to be injured so gravely. Although it wasn't completely her fault that she was caught by the assassin she could have left out more force so she would have more freedom to move. Conceited. Arrogant. Cursing herself for losing her way she sheds some silent tears as she once again passes out. It was at this moment that the dagger glows yet agin with an eerie glow which disappears as quickly as it appeared going unnoticed by MIng'er.
"Sit down" A powerful voice awoke Sarah from her daze as she timidly sat down.
"WHERE IS YOUR GRACE GIRL!!!" Collin shouted as he saw the unsightly display his daughter dared to show before his guests. If it wasn't for the guest here he would have already beat her within an inch of her life so she would never forget her lesson.
"Sorry, Father" Sarah meekly apologised as she looked down thinking over he situation.
'What the hell is happening? Was that all just a delusion I created to escape from reality? Why did I wake up now?'. Thoughts raced through her mind, she was about to succumb to the fact that she was being delusional and that such a thing would never be posssible. 'That may have been a delusion but I will no longer be a weak hearted girl anymore'. Unknowingly she had already passed the last hurdle in her heart that held any meakness in it.
"GIRL, PAY ATTENTION!" Roared Collin as he noticed she wasn't even paying attention to what he was saying and made him look like a fool. Malice shone in his eyes as he looked at the wretched girl in front of him that reminded him of that harlet that ran away with another man.
"Shut up" Sarah quipped back calmly feeling free-er than before as she began to stand up for herself. She felt that a pair of chains that had been restraining her had been loosened and that if she continued it would be destroyed.
"What did you just say, girl?" Collin asked with his tone darkening with every syllable he spoke.
"I said shut up you failure of a man who is so incompetent that his woman ran away with another man" Retorting back to him she stung him where it hurt as his guests watched on in amusement.
"YOUUUUUUUU!!" He screamed in rage and embarrassment. Raising his hand to back hand her she warned him that if he dared to go through with his action she would make sure he never saw the light of day again.
Laughing in hysteria at what Sarah had just said as he couldn't even begin to imagine where such a frail girl got such courage. Encouraging her he said "Go ahead kill me, but where will you go afterwards?".
Thinking about it carefully she realised that although she had been schooled at home she didn't actually have any qulifications from the government which would make her more than unemployable. Noticing that she had thought about the situation he remarks that he will forgive her should she obey him again, of course, she shall get a punishment for stepping out of line once again.
Hearing this line that was all but tempting to use as she realised the situation she would be in however the further she thought along she realised that if she gave in this time what stops her from giving in every time. Thinking along those lines she rejected and said that she will never submit to anyone ever again. At the exact moment she said this she began shining in a white light, which she didn't notice as she was basking in a feeling of rejuvenation that sprung up from within her spirit as she broke yet another chain restricting her, and broke through her old mindset of submission beginning her path to domination.
Collin smirked to himself and moved on rather quick from the argument and just said that it didn't matter if she wished to rebel and that she would still have to obey, even if they had to resort by force. Fading into the background Collin introduces Sarah's Fiance Richard that he had just set her up with. Seeing Richard again set her blood boiling as she wished for nothing more than to rush up and tear him to pieces. She wished to give him the worst tortures possible and then more.
Originally when Sarah felt the feeling of those 'chains' she had already began doubting her current situation however it was when Collin faded into the backgorund that she confirmed that she was within her own conciousness for some reason and was facing her subconcious fears that hadn't disappeared yet.
