Rebirth: Beasts Bound

Chapter 87: 087: KARMA IS REAL!

I gasped as my head popped out of the water. Ryker and Veyra were just staring while eating cookies... clearly enjoying the show.

"I’m sorry," I heard Thyrian apologize as he gently rested his head against my shoulder.

"Don’t apologize," I said softly and dragged myself toward the edge. I had already put on my dress, so now...

"How do I get dried?" I asked, and Thyrian stretched his hands out. A soft warm wind gently caressed my body, and within a few seconds, I was dry.

"Impressive," I said, but then I grabbed Ryker by the hand.

"Come with me," I said, but Veyra stepped forward instantly.

"Take me instead. I’m stronger!" he argued, and I rolled my eyes.

"I don’t have time for your competition," I muttered, and Ryker pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around my neck proudly.

"Well, she chose me," he bragged, and Veyra bared his fangs, but I rubbed Ryker lightly, making him let me go.

"Later, okay?" I said gently before touching Veyra’s hair softly. He nodded, and I walked away... well, partially halfway when....

"I am also strong," Thyrian suddenly said, and I paused in my steps. ƒrēewebnovel.com

"You guys, chill okay?" I said before dragging Ryker by the wrist. He stared over his shoulder and grinned at them.

"So what is wrong?" he asked.

"I saw someone downstairs. He was about six-foot-one, and he had a cloak over him. I couldn’t see his face well, but when we locked gazes, his eyes lit up purple. I don’t think he should be here," I said, and Ryker hummed thoughtfully.

"Do you have any idea who he might be?" I asked, stopping in my tracks, and Ryker smiled, but then it slowly faded.

He waved his hands, and the air became filled with orange mist. The male from earlier suddenly revealed himself.

"So you finally sensed me," he said and turned toward me. A subtle smirk curled onto his lips.

"I will take her," he declared.

That second, I felt my body suddenly dragged toward him, and his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Who are you?" I asked. He was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t see who he was.

Ryker’s eyes darkened instantly. "Let her go!" he snapped, but the male chuckled softly, and with that, he disappeared, but Ryker’s orange mist suddenly swirled violently and exploded.

I landed straight onto the ground. Dust filled my lungs, and I coughed violently.

The male from earlier was trembling on the floor like some worm. I stood up staggeringly. The impact from the orange mist was brutal, and I could barely walk properly.

My palms stretched out, and my sword appeared instantly.

"Who are you?" I asked coldly, pointing the tip directly at him, and he slowly looked my way.

The black hoodie slipped off, and his face came into view.

I froze.

For a second, I just stood there, taking everything in. How the fvck was he here?

"Danny?" I thought, and a chuckle escaped from my lips.

"First it was your stupid slut, and now it’s you?" I snapped, and he slowly lifted his gaze toward me. His eyes were swollen, and one side of his face was burnt. The orange mist had clearly left a brutal impact on him.

"So this is where you came to," he muttered while eyeing me from head to toe.

"Thankfully, you’re in a better body now. That pig body you had earlier was disgusting," he sneered, and I gritted my teeth.

"How dare you," I hissed, ready to strike, but he didn’t even look afraid of dying.

He was embracing it, and giving him what he wanted? Never.

I stretched my hand to the side, and a whip appeared, glowing blue while scorching flames sparked around it. His eyes widened instantly.

"What are you doing?" he asked fearfully, and I chuckled softly.

"My body was beautiful, Danny. You of all people have no right to insult it. And yes, I’m in a much more badass body now. This time, I won’t let a liar, a fool, a complete waste like you walk all over me."

I stepped closer slowly.

"You are in my world now. I make my own rules," I said, and before he could reply....

WHIP!

The strike landed straight against him.

"Ahhhhh!" he screamed in pain as the blue flames scorched the exact area I had hit. His body trembled violently.

"You bitch, I should have cut you into pieces and fed you to dogs," he cursed, but I laughed.

"Too bad you couldn’t," I hissed before striking him again.

He trembled harder.

"Disgusting face. Everything about you is a complete waste. Even Rosy never loved you or saw you as anything special... it was me she wanted to rival me, so she picked you up... my trash," I spat before lashing another whip at him.

"Aaaaaah!" he screamed again, and I chuckled.

"Oh my, does it hurt?" I asked mockingly while acting soft and sympathetic.

His eyes bored into mine, filled with hatred and rage.

"Look at me with those eyes again, and I swear I’ll scorch them out," I snapped, and he shivered.

"I changed, right?" I asked, but he didn’t dare answer.

The whip disappeared, and I slowly crouched down in front of him before grabbing his chin tightly.

"This face... it disgusts me," I muttered before spitting directly onto his burnt face.

"I will kill you!" he screamed. I felt his saliva splatter across my face, yet I didn’t move, instead, my hand shoved straight into his mouth.

He tried biting down on me, but he didn’t realize I was much stronger now. My fingers forced his jaw open while I grabbed onto one of his teeth.

His eyes widened instantly. "Wait, we can talk this out," he begged, but....

PULL!

I ripped the tooth out violently, and blood sprayed everywhere.

"Ahhhh, fvcking bitch!" he screamed as blood rushed from the empty spot. It had to hurt. I could see the way his gums throbbed painfully, yet my eyes remained completely void.

"See? Karma is real," I said before moving closer again.

"You actually killed me and staged it as if you found me dead in my room," I whispered bitterly before laughing softly.

"I was such a fool, Danny. To be honest, you won. You played me like a fool, but you also helped and made me who I am now," I muttered before chuckling harder, my shoulders shaking with the rhythm.

Then....

SLAP!

My hand struck his face hard, and he collapsed onto the ground. He coughed out blood and weakly dug his fingers into the sand.

I stared at him struggling and couldn’t help but laugh, but then, he suddenly threw sand into the air.

It went straight into my eyes. "Ahhhh!" I screamed and rubbed my eyes painfully.

Just then, he stood up and rushed toward me, his hands lunged forward, and the dagger..

PIERCE!

Blood drizzled onto the ground....My eyes widened, and I froze.
