Chapter 039 - In Between Realms PATREA.

"Adora?"

I asked as the tears finally trickled down my face at the exact moment the figure came into the light, revealing the girl I was so longing to see.She still looked the same as the last time I saw her, and despite the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes, she looked happier.

"Am I dead? Why am I seeing you? Where are we?" I asked.

"We are in between realms, Mama?"

"What do you mean? Are you stuck in between realms?"

She shook her head as she sat at the end of my bed.

"I am with the spirits.I only came here for you — to ask you if you want to come with me to the spirit world."

"Am I dead?"

"Lucius bit you."

I shook my head.

"He didn’t mean to."

A spark in the darkness flashed before my eyes, and my arms instinctively covered my eyes.

After a while, I slowly lowered my arms to see another female standing beside Adora.

Her eyes were pure black, as was her long hair.

And from the runes that were covering her body, I already knew who she was.I was now fully convinced that I was already dead.

"Guinevere," I murmured her name.

She was the guardian of the spirits, akin to the goddesses and gods of the other realms.

"My child..."

She greeted me, and her warmth engulfed my body.

"Am I dead?"

"On the brink of death."

"It’s impossible.Lucius will never hurt me." I explained.

"Did you forget what his father did to you? Lucien made you invincible in the demon’s world - only he could kill you.Him and his bloodline?"

"Are you saying Lucius killed me?"' My eyes watered as soft sobs escaped my throat.

"I’m sure he didn’t mean to.He said he loved me."
