Heart Demons - Part 2

Blood boiling in rage as she sees the filthy excuse of a man before her Sarah is nearly consumed by the wrathful flames that threatened to take over her. Uncontrollable the rage built up the longer she looked at that smug face that told her to give up to her fate. Breathing in and out constantly trying to reign it in however her rage only gets fanned further when she notices that he is looking at her chest as it falls and rises with her breath.

'Calm down. Calm down. This is not real. This is not real. I killed him before I ended myself back then, there was no way in hell he survived'.

"Heh, what? Did you think you could kill me with that stupid shard of glass. You surely jest?, you forget how powerful my family is, we could get the best doctors available in the shortest time.". Richard finishes off as he shows off a scar at his neck from the shard of glass that should have killed him.

"LIES!! I watched you die in front of me!" Sarah shouts out in denial that he could have possibly lived through that, no matter how fast his family could gather thier doctors.

"No, you watched me pass out from the schock from being stabbed so brutally however before I fell unconcious I managed to press a distress button at the side of the bed which alerted my personal guards that something had happened and they managed to stem the bleeding long enough that I managed to start a rough blood transfusion from them as I made sure to have at least one bodyguard with the sae blood type. And then that saved me long enough so that I could get the best care" Richard informed Sarah of the events that took place after she had hastily ended her own life. Smirking at the despair written across her face at the revelation that he still breathes he walks to her while she is distracted and whispers to her that she is already his since the night he took her.

Mind near collapse from the despair that she didn't even get to end the person that made her life miserab... Wait! Before she completely crumbled she realised that it was her own family that caused her bad life and Richard was only the trigger needed for her to gain the courage to go through with ending her life. Once she realised this she started ruminating on her life whilst Richard was trying to anger her as he realised that she was beginning to break free. But he doesn't want her to break free as once she does he will no longer exist. Although he is a negative existence, an existence he still is and all existences no matter how insignificant wish to survive and live on.

Countless attempts at angering her failed but it was then that an idea came to him which made him smile cruelly towards her however Sarah didn't see this as she had closed her eyes while she reminisced on her life whilst breaking her attachments to it. Reaching towards Sarah Richard began stroking her cheek which made Sarah shiver as she opened her eyes to see what he was doing now. After stroking her cheek he traced his hand down to her collar bone and then over her dress to her breasts and started fondling them. Flustered from the contact Sarah pushes him away as she can no longer concentrate with him touching her up which angered her to no end.

Smirking at her as he had won the battle by breaking her from her state. Seeing the smirk on her face she knew that what she was doing was right as he wouldn't have been so impatient in the first place to stop her if it wasn't. But she can't go back to that state now as he would just do the same things again, possibly worse which she does not want to experience... again. Ruminating over her life again but not as focused as she needs to watch out for Richard approaching her again.

As she looks at him she realises that it is her fear for him and what he did that keeps her from moving on. Thinking more along those lines she realises that she needs to move on and accept that it happened however it happened in a past life therefore didn't happen to her at all, at least not this her. Walking forward she approached him of her own accord however he retreats as he now realises that she has realised the way past.

Retreating backward in fright as he wants to live, the closer Sarah gets to him the closer he is to breaking down. "Please don't, I want to live!" he screams in indignation as he trips and Sarah reaches him and bends down. Looping her arms around him she says "I forgive you" while he indignantly stares her down as he fades into non-existence.

Once again Sarah is encased in a bright light as her soul is rejuvenated and the hidden damages she didn't even know were there were fully healed.

Fading away the light leaves, Sarah looks around and notices that she is within her inner mind and wills herself to leave. Waking up she sits upright like a bolt and sighs in relief that her veil hasn't been taken off or disappeared while she fought what she now thought to be her heart's demons.

"Mistress/Big sis" Huo and Ming'er shouted out at the same time seeing her suddenly shoot up from her sleeping position.

Confused at the current scenario as she was pretty sure that she should have a dagger in her side.

"How long have I been out?" Sarah asked as the last thing she remembered was falling unconcious after making it back to the mansion.

"Mistress, you have been asleep for a little over two weeks" Huo stated as she wiped away the tears of relief that had fallen to her cheeks.
