94 GILBERT DRIVAS

The clear night sky seems to be telling me that it was time to prepare myself for the impending pain that I will feel soon.

I gulped a lump that was on my throat and wet my dry lips. It seems that I can't avoid pain even in this life.

The moon's light slowly approached the array that was painted on the ground. Looking at it closely, the surrounding area seems to be quiet that not even a single chirp of the night owls can be heard.

Nervousness and anxiety came to me. Will I be able to endure the pain? Or will I suffer before I can remember everything?

I'm a coward. I knew that!

That's the reason why I escape my sealed fate with every struggle that I can come up and overcome.

Then, the light hit the bloody circle and I felt a sting in my body.

"You need to focus, Evelyn! This is only the start!" Cassandra said.

The two were watching from afar while a barrier appeared out of nowhere and trapping me inside the enchantment circle.
