章節 593: COMPLETELY SURROUNDED

ARIANNE POV

He did it! He did the one thing he has been afraid to do! He killed me! He made my wish come through as dark as it may sound. 

I've never felt that much peace in my entire life. I felt so happy, which was strange because I thought I'd be afraid, or bitter, or desperate to cling to life. But none of those feelings came. Instead, I felt peace—more peace than I'd ever felt in my entire miserable existence. As my body floated away, my lips curled into a soft smile.

The world began to blur, colors swirling like paint dropped into water. The edges of my vision shimmered with light as a strange tug pulled me away from the wreckage of my life.

When I opened my eyes—I stood in a vast, endless expanse. It looked like a desert, though no desert I'd ever seen. The sand shimmered faintly under an indigo sky that seemed to stretch forever, studded with stars that pulsed like living things.
