Chapter 66 : Scattered Pieces

*Eliza*

Aman, wild and crazy, frantically waved the Cryptex around.

His eyes were bloodshot.

His lips moved so fast that they were a blur, but I couldn't hear what he was saying.

My heart hammered in my chest as I watched him freak out.I'd never seen that man before, but there was something about him that was familiar.

His hair...his eyes...the curve of his face....It reminded me of someone...someone....

"Eliza?"

Jared's voice rang in my head like a gong going off inside my skull.

Then it fell silent again and I was staring at the wild man with the Cryptex.

He threw it on the ground, spittle flying from his mouth in fury.

Raging, he dug through the drawers in the desk behind him.

He pulled out a hammer with a determined smirk.

Dropping to his knees in front of the Cryptex, he brought the hammer down heavily.I winced as though the hammer had struck me too.

The Cryptex flashed a blinding gold light and shattered.

The pieces scattered.

My vision faded in a swirl of heavy mist.

I was planted to the ground, my feet like tree roots holding me in place.

The mist swirled and parted, showing a new vision.

The man who smashed the Cryptex lay on the ground.

His body was bent in an impossible position, eyes staring dead ahead, blank and lifeless.

Blood dribbled from his mouth; his clothes were soaked in it and a puddle of thick crimson glistened around his immobile form.

My hands started to shake and I looked down at them.

Those weren't my hands! Unable to stop myself, I ran toward the man's body, dropping to my knees beside him.

Tears wet my cheeks.

They weren't my tears.

Someone else, another woman, was mourning this man's death, and I was along for the ride.She reached out to him, a fatal mistake.

Black ink tendrils burst from inside the dead man, clinging to my arms —her arms like sticky spider webbing.

The tentacles curled around her arm, burrowing through her skin and sinking deep inside.

"No! What's happening!"

My mouth moved, but the voice that came out wasn't my own.She clawed at her arms trying to pull the inky tentacles away.

Once they got hold, they vanished inside so quickly, leaving faint traces of tattoo marks behind.

Those tattoos-I recognized them.

They were the same tattoos that Jared had.

Groaning, I could feel the ink latch onto her blood, sticky and thick like plaque in the arteries.
