Madness

Entering the tower, Isabella and Jennifer saw the state of Alexander's body. His broken bones were cracking as they regenerated, and his muscles contracted to heal themselves.

He wasn't conscious and they could watch as his legs turned to fix themselves.

Jennifer was a little more composed but Isabella was soon overwhelmed by the scent of Alexander's blood. She couldn't control herself and before Jennifer could do anything, she appeared beside Alexander and bit his neck.

Isabella who felt the sweet blood, couldn't help but shiver in delight. She couldn't stop herself as she sucked a large amount of blood, halting Alexander's healing.

Jennifer pushed Isabella away otherwise she would kill him.

*SLAP!*

"Control yourself!" Jennifer slapped Isabella and she woke up from her stupor.

She said that but Jennifer herself was having trouble stopping herself from doing exactly the same thing as her sister.

Jennifer smiled as she looked at Alexander, who would take way longer to recover because he didn't have enough blood anymore. She placed her hand on his lower back and using some of her powers she put a mark on him.

The mark would tell her where he was even if he was on the other side of the kingdom. The smile on her face was priceless.

"Let's go, if we harm him anymore, mother will truly kill us" Jennifer said and they quickly left jumping out of the window.

Alexander was recovering well because the curse was still in effect. After the two girls left, the curse didn't recognize any enemies close, and the rise in status halted.

[ No Enemies Detected ]

[ Sacrifice is losing effect ]

[5...]

[4...]

[3...]

[2...]

[ Status back at the original state ]

His vitality went back to normal and Alexander's condition became critical because his regeneration stopped entirely. His heart started beating way slower than before, and his blood began leaking more and more.

*Cough!*Cough!*Cough!*

He coughed on his own blood and woke up. He looked around trying to see where he was. It looked like he was back in his cell but there wasn't a bed anymore.

He tried to stand up, but when he tried, his legs cracked and they couldn't stand still properly making him fall again.

He tried to use his arms to get up but he didn't have the right arm anymore and his only arm was completely broken.

Frustrated he couldn't get up, he tried to stand, again and again, worsening his condition.

His frustration and rage raised as his body couldn't do what he wanted.

The pain together with all those emotions started messing with his head.

He rolled on his own blood as he lost his mind.

'Weak, Weak, Weak, Weak, Weak, Weak, Weak. SO FUCKING WEAK!!'

He was again in his last breaths and once again he lost as miserably as the last time. He was once again reminded of how weak he was.

He was frustrated, even after everything he went through, he was still so helpless and useless. He still could barely defend himself and his life was toyed with again.

Was it because of his decisions? Was it because he decided to stay trapped or was it because he tried to leave? He didn't know. He couldn't understand. He felt dumb, he couldn't even find the answers he wanted any more of a problem he felt was inside his own head.

That was when he saw something in the corner of the room.

He turned his head and saw Lili's golden door. He couldn't understand why or how it appeared inside his cell. But his eyes widened and he took a deep breath, calming down a little.

'I see, there's still something I can do... That I have to do'

Using his arm, he lifted his body off the ground and tried to stand up once again. His legs cracked again as his bones moved out of place, but he didn't fall this time.

*Crack*Crack*Crack*

Step by step, his legs broke more and more, but he didn't stop and soon he reached the door. His wrist could barely turn the handle as he opened the door.

Entering the room, his legs gave up and he fell to the ground. Lili saw him and rushed to his side.

She screamed but he couldn't listen to her.

Alexander wanted to free Lili but he didn't even know how. He entered the room without any plan and now he was lost. Maybe he could punch the walls but he didn't have any strength left. And even if he had, he doubted he could break it. He felt even more like an idiot.

'What am I doing? I can't do anything here'

Lili rolled him and tried to stop his bleeding with her hands but it wasn't working.

Panicking, she ripped the sheets from her bed and used them to cover his injuries, but it didn't do much.

"Sorry" With his weak voice, he apologized to her for being so useless. He apologized for not being strong enough to free her.

Lili couldn't understand why would he suddenly apologize like that. But she didn't know that the reason he was so fixed on freeing her was to give a reason to himself.

He wanted to prove himself he wasn't useless by freeing her.

Five hours passed in a blink of an eye and he was still alive, his body was trying its hardest to survive.

The time Lili had to go out ended and the room prepared to teleport somewhere else but before it had to destroy everything that didn't belong to the room.

Lili cried for him to make a wish so she could bring him out but he couldn't hear her.

Alexander felt his legs being torn by the room's magic. The room was using space magic to extinguish Alexander. Soon, his fingers, legs, and ears were smashed or ripped off his body.

Lili didn't want him to die and the only thing she could think of was turning him into a vampire. She made a cut on her wrist and placed it in his mouth.

She hoped his body was good enough to transform. If the body didn't even have a heart, it wouldn't turn no matter how much blood you pour into it.

To her despair, even after drinking more than half of her blood, he didn't transform. But she didn't give up, she kept making him drink more and more blood to the point where it started leaking from an injury in his stomach.

Suddenly, the tattoos on Alexander's arm shivered. The room wanted to destroy not only his body but the curse as well. The curse suffered a direct attack from the room's space magic.

The curse retaliated back with full strength. It was offensive that such a weak being would try to annihilate it. A black fog left Alexander's arm and formed black skulls with huge teeth. It couldn't care less about Alexander's life, but it had pride, a lot of it.

The black skulls smashed on the walls, making cracks appear.

The room quickly realized its mistake and tried to kick out Alexander together with the curse. But the curse didn't let it run away.

Using their huge teeth, the skulls ate the walls, the ceiling, and the ground. Lili watched everything in horror, the skulls were absolutely terrifying.

After the skulls ate everything including the golden door, they were back in the room inside the tower.
