Chapter 140 Epilogue: Alive And Well
Chapter 140 Epilogue: Alive And Well
Jennifer and Jacob Asher were in hiding.
They were currently hidden deep within Baryon mountain.
" I'm cold....", Jacob said shivering.
Jennifer said nothing in response and just frowned.
Jennifer was used to her brother's temperament but sometimes she just wanted him to shut up.
" Sis ?"
'I'm cold too.'
Jennifer suddenly felt angry at her brother, why was only he allowed to complain...why did she have to give up her dreams for his sake.....Jennifer hated him.
" Hey....are you alright ?"
Hearing him ask if she was okay after all this broke something inside her, in a fit of rage she tackled her brother.....her head hurt and she couldn't think straight. All she could feel was hate...towards her brother....towards Adam....towards everything.
Getting on top of her brother, she choked him.
She increased the pressure on his throat slowly and steadily, Jacob tried to resist but it was futile. Soon, the light within his eyes dimmed and Jennifer could finally think properly again.
Seeing her brother laying on the ground, lifeless like a broken doll.
All Jennifer could do was scream.....
" ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
What had she done ?
She couldn't even remember what she was angry about?
'Clap'
" Who's there ?", Jennifer asked into the darkness as a clap resounded throughout the dreary mountain.
" Heehheheheheh....you showed me something amusing child..."
A tall man wearing a mask stepped out from the shadows.
" W-who are you ?"
" Hmmm.....well you can think of me as your guardian angel."
" What ?", Jennifer inched away as the man came closer and closer.
" It's not your fault you know....you were cursed by someone, that is the reason why you killed your brother."
Hearing the man's ridiculous words, Jennifer couldn't help but move even further away.
Who would curse her?
' Adam.'
Jennifer's eyes widened as she realized that she had forgotten about Adam.
" Yeah....it's all his fault...I didn't do anything wrong.", Jennifer said more to herself than the masked man.
The masked man bends down and embraced Jennifer,
" That's right.....none of this is your fault."
The man's warmth spread over to Jennifer and it made her feel...safe.
" But you need to make this right.....you need to avenge your brother and get him justice."
" But I'm too weak....", Jennifer said, tears slowly falling down her face.
The man patted Jennifer on the head as he said,
" I can give you power beyond your wildest dreams....but-"
" What should I do-- no I'll do anything...."
The man stood up and spread his arms wide, moonlight bathed his body giving him a heavenly glow,
" All you have to do is...become my messiah."

The twelve executives of 'Half-Moon' were currently holding a meeting.
As usual, the Enchantress sat at the very front hearing her subordinates argue.
" We need to bring her over to our side ! ", Bardock, the tenth seat said looking frustrated.
" Why take a risk when we know so little about her?", Aiden, the eleventh seat said ignoring Bardock's glare.
The two of them bicker while the others silently listened.
" What do you think, mother ?", Aiden asked his mother, the enchantress.
The Enchantress thought for a minute before answering her son's question,
" We have to bring her over to our side....even if we have very little information on her, we can't let a genius like her slip away.....it would be even worse if the demons got hold of her first....so we'll move forward with the plan."
" But the only thing we know about her is that she's hiding at Unity !", Ai argued but seeing that his mother wouldn't back down, he sighed in defeat.
" Ha, Suck it !.", Bardock said grinning smugly.
Aiden glared but kept his mouth shut.
" The next thing on our agenda is..--",
Aiden was interrupted by the sound of the door creaking open.
All 12 members stared at the shadow that stood before them, all of them remained alert as the shadow moved closer to the Enchantress. But as the members closely observed the shadow they realized that the shadow was similar to the Enchantress in its figure, no it was exactly the same.
The executives relaxed as soon as they realized this, they knew that the Enchantress had many tricks up her sleeve.
But her reaction upon seeing the shadow was strange, her eyes had widened in surprise and she looked strangely pale.
The shadow stopped just beside her and said in an almost robotic voice,
[ Objective complete....the subject is alive and well.]
Hearing the shadow, Aiden's eyes widened and he asked his mother,
" Is that-"
But he got interrupted once again as the Enchantress said,
" Yes, it seems that your.....brother is alive and well."
