In The End, She Has to Suffer Under The Original Host's Bad Luck

**********

Unbeknownst to Hillary, a pair of red and blue eyes was silently watching her every moves under the cover of the shadows.

With a heart feeling unease and paranoid, Hillary tried to look around the dark surroundings to find some clues regarding the mysterious and scary environment she's in. It was so abnormally wicked that Hillary could not stop the chill that ran up her spine. Unfortunately, she can hardly see in the dark which only increases her anxiety and panic. Added to that, being alone in this quiet, dark, horrific and unfamiliar place is a total torture for a lady like Hillary who has a phobia since she was a child. She could still be able to tolerate her fear if at least, she knew what kind of place she's currently in despite the darkness and eerily silence. However, the situation is different now that she's in another place and time which has a lot of difference compared to her own world.

Hillary has no idea where she was nor how to get out of that secluded place.
Also, the familiar strong smell of a decaying corpse made Hillary to vomit but she's fighting it. At the same time, the fact that the place has scarce of oxygen flow gave Hillary a lot of scare. It will only mean that she's trapped in a dead end place and will be awaiting for her last take of breath.

Feeling unresigned to the original host bad luck in life, Hillary would not sit still just to await her deathbed. I have to get out of here before I ran out of breath....

When her eyes adjusted to the dark place, Hillary can vividly see some silhouettes of rock forms, stalactites and the dark figure of corpses lying on the ground as well as some piled bones not far from where she was. Hillary assumed she's in an underground place or a cave.

Hillary exhaled a long sighed before she stood shakily and slowly treaded among the bones and corpses that scattered on the dirty ground. She could not stop herself from scrunching her nose because of the bad smell it emitted. But for the sake of escaping away from this horrible place, she could only endure it for some time despite how badly scared and shaken she felt inside. Hillary dared to believe and hope she could find a way out of this mess.

I have to be strong... I'm on my own now...

Hidden in the dark, a figure stood unmoving while his right hand tightly fisted an object that glowed a vivid green light.

Hillary did not even know that at the sideline, a certain figure was still contemplating whether he should increase the punishment to a higher level or not. After all, the pitiful lady knew nothing of her soul being bought already by the King of the Dark Realm before she was even born to this world. Nor Hillary knew that she already belonged to someone else to claim when the time is ripe. The events just went insanely fast that Fiero had to made a move before another man could take away his wandering past time human pet. If only Hillary's parents remained true with the agreed deal to Fiero, then, none of these things should have been happening. Nor the bloody massacre of her entire family lineage at the beginning, leaving her as the last remnants of the Light Kingdom. However, no one can really predict what will happen especially now that the story is deviating from the original piece. Not even Hillary herself, the writer and author of the story.

At some point due to darkness and the slippery soil, Hillary stumbled and fall hard on the dirty ground. Her head hit into a hard and pointy rock which made her breathing slow and shallow while her vision was turning to blur because of the scarcity of oxygen in the place. But before she lose consciousness, Hillary saw a pair of blue and red orbs that shined amidst the darkness.
