Chp 45 : To Save or to Kill
"YOU KILLED MY MOTHER... YOU KILLED 'OUR' MOTHER!"
[Yael : our?...]
"hah... are you being serious right now Jean?... Ahhhh why am I even doing this anymore... the truth has been spilled, you can have your real name back..."
"DO YOU THINK I'M JOKING YAEL... I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVED MOTHER, AND YOU THOUGHT OF HER AS YOUR REAL MOM!"
"OH SHUT UP ALREADY!" Yael shouted out while quickly stomping towards Lucas and grabbing his collar
"YOU HAVE YOUR MEMORY BACK NOW DONT YOU?.. SHE HATES ME, SHE DIDN'T LOVE ME... AND I WASN'T HER DAUGTHER"
"YOUR WRONG!"
Lucas yelled out gripping her arm, but the more he denied the more angry Yael got
"YOUR A HYPOCRITE, YOU SAID IT YOURSELF! SHE DOSEN'T LOVE AND CARE ABOUT ME AND NEITHER DO YOU!" Yael screamed as she flung Lucas's body across the box
"w-why did you have to kill her?.. even though you hated me when I was younger... you could've spared her" Lucas said as he slouched on the floor
"I-...."
"Tell me! why did you have to kill her!"
Lucas said as he started crying
"...She said, she didn't love me... and I was still a child and I wasn't in the right state of mind!"
"Even if you were still a child... you shouldn't have killed her!"
The whole room went silent once more
"...I-im sorry!" Yael yelled out while holding back her tears "I... I was wrong!"
She said as she slowly approached Lucas
"I was wrong... and you don't have to forgive me... I-I ruined it, all because of my stupid tantrum!"
The two of them looked at each other's faces that were all scarred and stained with blood and wounds
"She's gone now! All because of that! You-"
"I'M SORRY! I REGRET IT... AND I HATE MYSELF AS MUCH AS YOU! BUT I WANT YOU TO ATLEAST KNOW... That the past 17 years we have been together, I have been repenting every day and every night!.. But nothing made me feel less guilty and burdened! I admit it... I deserve to be punished for killing 'our mother'...So hate me all you want! You can even kill me and I won't be mad!" Yael yelled out
"Ms. Yael I... I-"
But before Lucas could finish his sentence Damion stepped in once again
"Well that came to a fast conclusion... don't you guys think? A little bit too fast for my liking!" He said while crossing his arms
"What more could you possibly want?" Lucas said defeatedly
All Damion did was smirk and lifted his right arm
"Won't you play a game with me?... Lucas?" Damion said as he moved the box that Elena was in to right Infront of them
"Choose"
Lucas stared blankly at Damion and replied
"What do you mean?"
"Heh... you know what I mean... Choose who you want to spare!"
"W-what?"
"Between Elena, the one who you view as a replacement of your mother... Or Yael, who is your closest and dearest 'friend'... who do you want to save Lucas?"
"W-what?... You cant! Ms. Yael is the member of the Seux royal family! If-"
"Shhhh... abandon all facts and logical reasoning... Choose solely based on your emotions!"
"You cant do this to us you demon!" Yael yelled out as she charged towards Damion, but he quickly stopped her and put her into her own small separate box next to Elena's
"Now... It is time for you to choose Lucas... Who would you rather save?"
"I-I..." Lucas tried to think as he tried to think of a way he can save them both, but there really is no other way
"C-can I atleast talk to the both of them first before I come to a decision?"
"Hnnn... of course not~ I already gave you plenty of time to work things out with Yael" Damion hummed as he readied his demon dogs to get ready to kill either Yael or Elena
[Lucas : W-what do I do now?! Their lives are in my hands!]
Damion seemed to notice that Lucas was going to take a long time to come up with an answer so he decided to 'encourage' him
"If you don't tell me your answer now... I guess I'll have to kill both of them"
"WAIT!...I-I'll choose Ms. Yael!"
"To save or to kill?" Damion asked as he slowly approached Lucas, only up close could you actually realize how much taller Damion was
"So what is it?" He said leaning in closer
