A Tale of Chase and Love s1

At the secluded room, Long Ren was at a loss on what to do regarding Theresa. She had told him to bring out the spiky chair from his storage ring; which he did.

And then, she sat on it. She seemed to not feel the pain inflicted on her by the spikes. Her body trembled and she did not make a sound. Her hands were clenched so tightly that her nails sunk into her palm; resulting in her palm bleeding.

She kept staring at the roof. A tear escaped from her eyes, slid down her cheeks and landed on her right thigh.

“MOTHER!” Theresa roared and more tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Mother… why? Why did you leave me and father? Mother… how could you do this? Mother…” she said in a whisper and started crying.

“Mama, mama, I’m sorry for being a bad daughter. I never treasured you. I never treasured you. Mother… how could you just leave without a goodbye? Mother, I should have listened to you. I shouldn’t have left for the BTS concert. I shouldn’t have done things without your permission. Mother, it’s because of me that you are all alone. Mother… mother…” Theresa didn’t have the energy to speak anymore.

“Mistress… please get up from that chair.” Long Ren begged her. He was very worried about his mistress.

“Long Ren, tell me… what will I say to my father? I’m their only daughter. All because of me, my mother has breathed her last. Why did I not feel it? I’m a bad daughter. These spikes are nothing compared to the pain I’ve caused my parents. Mother gets sick whenever I’m sick. Now she’s dead. Why then am I not dead? I wanna die! Long Ren, please do me a favor.” Theresa said to him telepathically and took out her golden dagger.

“Kill me! Kill me now! I don’t deserve to live. I’m a murderer. I killed so many people on that plane and now my mother also died because of me. Even death is not enough punishment for me. Kill me now, Long Ren.” she commanded.

“Mistress!”

“Great mistress”

Ju Wei and Long Ren exclaimed at the same time.

“Mistress, I’m sorry for your loss but you can’t do this. Mistress, you can’t kill yourself just for this. Mistress…”

“Shut up! I’m a bad daughter. I deserve to die. If you don’t wanna kill me, then I’ll kill myself.” Theresa yelled.

“Okay mistress, I don’t like you anyway. Since you asked, I will personally kill you and then I can finally be free.” Long Ren said with a smile plastered on his lips.

Theresa’s eyes widened but then she bowed her head low when Long Ren took the dagger from her. She then closed her eyes.

“Kill me,” she said in a whisper as another tear slid down her eyelid.

“You silly mistress! How can you expect me to kill you? Mistress, do you not believe in my words? I’m your pet forever. Mistress”

Theresa opened her eyes.

“I gave you a simple command but you refused. Ju Wei, kill me instead and you’ll be free from Long Ren’s clutches,” said Theresa.

“Okay. That day you whipped me. We haven’t settled that yet. Also, you didn’t let me have enough meat to cook tonight.” said Ju Wei. “But, I have no desire to kill you” he added.

“ARGH” Theresa yanked her hair in frustration.

“Death is too simple of a punishment. I’m sure that she’ll want you to live a good life just like every mother wishes for her child. Mistress, if you die, I won’t live either. Your father is still alive. If he knew you were gone, then what would he do?” Long Ren said in a concerned tone.

He then knelt before her.

“Mistress, I know that I’ve been bad to you before. I did so many wrong things. I’m responsible for the curse in you. I know that you’re battling with the curse but you must fight it. Mistress, please calm down. Mistress… you can beat me to vent out your frustrations. But please don’t kill yourself or ask me to kill you. It’s also against the rules of the contract. Even if I wanted to, I can’t. Mistress, I’ve changed. I’ve changed. I’ve realized all my mistakes. Mistress, you’ve got to pull yourself together and fight.” Long Ren said softly.

“Kim Tae Hyung, you put me into this. I will never forgive you,” Theresa cried out loudly and pushed Long Ren away from her. Her hair caught fire and her eyes turned red.

“Save me,” she said in a small voice.

“Mistress, you can do it. You can win. Fight! Fight.” Long Ren urged her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“I want to die!” Theresa cried.

“Mistress, keep fighting. Keep fighting.”

“I can’t,”

“Great mistress, think of the dark qi as your greatest enemy. What or whom do you hate? Fight that enemy then!”Ju Wei suggested.

“Both of you, retreat. Get out of here now. This is my battle. Get out!” she yelled.

“Yes great mistress,” Ju Wei said and disappeared.

“Mistress, please be careful. I’ll stabilize your friend. Think of her when you feel weak. And also, please don’t be too hard on yourself,” Long Ren advised.

“Get out!” she barked.

“Yes, mistress.” Long Ren nodded and disappeared.

Seeing that she was now alone in the secluded room, Theresa’s eyes turned yellow and she smiled.

“It’s time to battle. I must live on for my friend and father. I will win this fight!” she said to herself.

**********

Theresa’s illusion.

The scene before her changed to that of her room back on Earth. She’s currently sitting on her beloved bed.

“Wait! What am I doing here? This… has my system activated? But I’m not up to foundation stage yet.” she thought.

Her eyes had turned to normal. Her clothes had changed to modern wear. Now she’s dressed in a short pink gown that had golden flowers on it. The six feet heels she’s wearing are silver and her hair has been permed.

She rose from the bed and walked to the entrance door of her room and opened the door.

“Hello my lady.”

Theresa looked up and saw the one she always wanted to meet. The one who held her heart for 3 years.

Here he was standing before her. If it was a month ago she’d be screaming out of excitement. But now, it’s the opposite.

“You..” Theresa dragged her idol inside the room by his collar.

“I’m gonna kill you. I want you dead!” she yelled in English.

“Lady, what’s wrong? Look…”

“Say no more. If it wasn’t cause of you, I wouldn’t end up in that damn Luo Ye and my sweet mother would still be alive.” she cried in German.

“My heiress, I’m so sorry for what happened” ‘Kim Tae Hyung’ tried to console her in German.

“Enough!” Theresa’s eyes turned red.

“Cutting you into a thousand pieces isn’t enough. You… just get out!” she barked and ran towards the window.

“Hey, Hey! Don’t you dare scale that window? Do you have a death wish? My heiress!” ‘Kim Tae Hyung’ quickly got off the floor and ran to her.

“I dunno what to say. I… please don’t kill yourself.” ‘Kim Tae Hyung’ begged.

“Why can’t I kill you? What kind of charm do you possess? I’m supposed to be angry and beat you up, maybe even to death. But… but why?” Theresa said in a whisper as tears rolled down her cheeks.

“My heiress, I’m really sorry.”

“Dark qi, you don’t have anything else to do other than prey on my emotions?” Theresa asked with a smile.

“What are you saying?” ‘Kim Tae Hyung’ asked, looking confused.

“This is what I mean,” she said and then threw a punch to his face.

“You are not my idol. He doesn’t speak my language. Neither would he appear at my room’s entrance with a smile. Who are you trying to fool?” she asked as she gave him another punch.

He immediately turned to her beloved doll Lovina.

“Why do you have to use the things I love against me? Just face me one on one and let me fight you. Stop dilly-dallying!” she yelled.

Immediately, the scene turned to that of a dessert. This dessert was so hot that her outer clothes melted.

“You used soft but couldn’t win and now you wanna use the hard way. Bring it on, I’m in.” she said with determined eyes that had now turned orange.

A beautiful woman dressed in black appeared. Her eyes were of different color-red and pink. Her hair is yellow and she is barefooted.

“Lady, you really make me hold you in high esteem. I feel so honored!” the lady said in a sweet voice.

“Just do what you wanna do. I don’t have time to waste.” Theresa said impatiently.

“I came to life in you, not just because your contracted pet hated you and made you suffer. It’s also because of your pride. You are selfish and uncaring. You’ve never been sincere to your pet. From the first day, you viewed him as a money bank treating his pearls formed by tears like yours. You never really cared about your pet’s feelings. You two were unwilling to let go of your pride. You will have a chance to return only if you take seven of my water balls and fog balls. Fog balls comprise of thick fog that can be controlled like a fireball. Now what do you…” the lady didn’t get to finish before Theresa shot a fireball at her.

“You really are impatient. Allow me to lecture you in place of your mother.” the lady said before gathering water balls in both hands.

She started shooting them at Theresa from different angles.
