CHAPTER 116

　　STEFAN

　　I hated hearing Kara suffer. Kara screamed for hours. My heart didn't stop beating rapidly for a long time. The hours passed slowly. I asked the witch to stop several times, but she assured me that it was not advisable to stop.

　　"Why does Kara look like that?" I alarmed.

　　"So pale?"

　　"It's normal. It has happened to all the women I have attended. Kara's blood pressure drops when I perform her treatment. I know it's hard to see, Stefan, but you have to understand that it will get worse each time. The sessions will become more painful."

　　"Does Kara feel that pain in her dreams?"

　　"Yes. She should."

　　"Should?"

　　"If Kara feels pain in her physical body but doesn't feel pain in the dream realm, it means Kara's energy is distorting. It's a sign that the curse has become heavier. If that happens, we'll have to hurry. The curse can overpower us."

　　"You can't let that happen," I demanded.

　　"That's what I'm trying, Stefan," she assured.
