Chapter 570 Everything Was Fine Anyways...

"She was a bit embarrassed, but everything was fine anyways." Elena smiled. "Monica has a lot of social anxiety, but we'll get through it slowly…"
"Was Anna and Elisa not rude?" I asked.
"T-They were fine… Though a bit pushy at times, though I think that's alright. Maybe that'll help Monica get better faster?" Elena wondered. "We also added her to our contacts. She said she likes anime and video games, but has no money to buy a VR Headset to play BNLO…"
"Oh well, not everyone can afford those at the end." I sighed. "Anyways, I hope you can keep taking care of her. Tomorrow the weekend is starting, so how about you invite her here?"
If she comes here, I'll be able to gauge if she is an Awakener or not.
"I'll try to ask her, but maybe she won't come. As I said, she's really shy." Elena sighed.
"Oh well…" I sighed. "I hope she's alright now…"

As Monica made her way back home, she started thinking about what had happened today. Suddenly, her life had given a drastic turn to the better. Thanks to Elena's mother, the teacher spoke about the bullying she hasn't seen before.
The bullies that harassed her and were ruining her life stopped annoying her for the first time ever, and she was also surrounded of friendly girls, that just wanted to protect her…
"You seem to be happy, Monica." Giggled a voice. "Is the false friendship of those girls enough to fill your empty heart with the faint hope you needed to keep on living?"
"…" Monica stayed in silence as she walked back home. "I don't think it is false… M-Maybe… they're genuine…"
"Genuine you say?" Laughed the voice. "Genuine friendship doesn't exist. Eventually, they will always backstab you, one way and the other…"
"T-That's… not right… Or is it?" Monica wondered. "I just… want to have friends… Even if it's hard."
"…" The voice stayed in silence, sighing internally.
Her true name and her origins were a mystery to Monica, but since that day that she emerged and used her body as her vessel that she has been whispering to her, and helping her awaken powers that the girl never asked for.
"Just who are you? Are you even a friend?" Wondered Monica. "Why… are you within me?"
"Let's say we are partners." Smiled the entity. "I came to you because you held a large quantity of dark emotions, it helped me harbor you as my vessel, dear Monica. I am… Well, let's just say I am a specter… I can give you the power you want, yet you not use it."
"But… Why would I need this power? I'm afraid…" Sighed Monica. "I just don't want to hurt anybody… If possible, I-"
"There she is."
"That fucking bitch, she went off really fast out of the school…"
"I knew that Anna and Elena lived closer to the school, so she's alone now, good."
"Huh?" Monica looked behind her, finding three girls from her school.
They were all three of her bullies, the three that harassed her the most. The three that harbored all their hate into her.
Monica felt paralyzed after seeing them chase her around. This was already beyond just normal bullying.
"No… No...! L-Leave me alone! T-The teacher…!" Monica muttered, stepping back.
"The teacher what?"
"That bitch is not here."
"You're alone, you fucking whore."
"E-Eh?" Monica, felt more and more afraid. Looking around there was nobody to help her.
Elena and Anna weren't there anymore, even less Elisa.
"How many dicks did you suck for that to just happen?"
"Did you seduced one of the teachers or something?"
"I knew this little bitch had more to her than the eye could tell…"
"B-But I… I didn't do anything…" Monica muttered.
"Do you know you almost ruined our fucking lives?!"
"If that bitch of the professor would had actually said our names…"
"You know we could had gotten expelled from the school?!"
"But I…!" Monica cried, beginning to step back more and more as her bullies got closer to her.
And then, with utter fear, she started running for her life.
"Where are you going?!"
"You've never been good at running, bitch."
"Come back here!"
Monica tried to run as fast as possible, but she was rather physically weak. Always having rather poor results in her gymnastics tests.
"Hahhh… Hahhh…" She ended running into a dead end of an alley, where all three of her bullies caught her.
BAAAM!
A kick hit her back, throwing her into the floor.
"Ugh… P-Please…!"
"Shut up you fucking bitch! I'm going to break that ugly ass face you have!" Furiously, the blonde girl of the three began punching Monica's face.
Monica had never done anything wrong to them, yet she was receiving their anger as if she had ruined their entire lives. Their frustrations, their anger, everything they suffered in their daily lives was being channeled into her body.
"Agggh! Please help! HELP- UGH…!"
One of them quickly wrapped a cloth around her mouth so she couldn't scream, while the other started kicking her stomach.
The agony and the pain were horrendous.
Although she had been harassed before.
Being hit like garbage was something she couldn't take.
The pain mixed with the agony, the frustration, the fear… her heart grew darker, her eyes glowed redder.
As she stopped moving or groaning while they were beating her down, Monica sensed the power of her "partner" the most.
"Crush them, Monica…" She spoke. "They don't deserve to live, don't they?"
"Ugh…" Monica groaned, Mana surging from her body.
Covered on wounds and blood, with her nose almost broken, and her eyes crying, she was left over the floor, the three girls that beat her to almost death smiling at her while feeling proud of the horrendous act they committed.
Were they even human?
"Is she okay? Maybe she died?"
"Lol…"
"What a poor little bitch… You got what you deserved."
As their words reached Monica, she felt an enormous wrath surging from her heart.
"What… I deserved…?"
As the three slowly walked away, she stood back up behind them, an aura of darkness surging from within her…
