[A Bloody Bond] Zack Foster x Female Reader ⚠️GORE! READ DESCRIPTION!⚠️

Chapter 44

"Come, witch! Be cleansed and made pure!" The man yelled as he held the cross necklace.

"I'm not a witch!!" Rachel yelled in desperation.

"Who would believe the words of a witch?"

"I'm not!"

"You still say that after hearing their testimonies? You destroyed their very hearts... Yes, the hearts of angels. You toyed with their hearts, and then took them away! What you did was inhuman."

"Angels? I..." Rachel said in confusion.

"I'm sure you intend to subject Issac Foster and (Y/N) (L/N) to the same fate."

"No! I don't! It was her aunt's fault. You knew about this and you let it happen. You're at fault, too!" Rachel yelled as she shook her head.

"I don't know what you are talking about, witch! They are my angels and I care for them!"

"You liar!"

"You intend to sacrifice them for your purposes."

"No..." Rachel muttered as she looked down with a sad expression.

"Now, confess that you are a witch! Declare that you are, and give yourself to the sacred flames, to the hands of God!"

Rachel looked at the man with a dark stare, with no reaction.

"I told you already... I am not a witch. The God I know never said such a thing. There was nothing like that in the Bible."

"Of course, there wasn't, Rachel Gardner. Because the God you speak of does not exist." The priest said, making Rachel surprised.

"... But you've been using God's name all this time."

"Yes, because I speak of my God! I stand in the position of God. This God exists right here, in the form of myself!" He said with a smile as he looked up in glee, making Rachel shocked.

"Are you saying that you're God?"

"Yes, precisely. In this place, I am the one closest to being God."

"I don't... I don't know anything about that. I don't know anything."

"A heart that truly believes... That is what gives God's existence meaning. Rachel Gardner... You never had one of those, to begin with!" The man yelled as the flames began to creep slowly towards Rachel.

"NO!!"

God doesn't exist? Why? I don't want to hear that! I can't accept that. I won't accept that. This priest called himself God. No... He's wrong. I don't want to be killed by this priest. But... I don't...

The flames came closer and closer to her and began to feel the heat from it.

It's hot... Hot. But... also cold. There's something cold inside me. What is this? Something... Something precious... that I harmed... and ruined. But something that always, always... helped me.

Oh... So that's it.

My God is both of them.

Zack...and (Y/N)...

"What?" The man stumbled over his words as he realized Rachel had awakened from her sleep and stood up with her knife in hand towards the man, she was finally back to reality.

"Why did you wake up?"

"All the strange things on this floor are illusions. My God opened my eyes." Rachel said sternly.
