Revenge After Death

Under the projector, Stephanie Carlson... AKA "me" stood, well and alive.

She flashed us a smile and opened her mouth.

"Michael... will you marry me?"

I glanced at Michael. He was influenced as well and started making his way forward.

Afraid that he'd also be affected, I held onto Steven anxiously.

Thankfully, he was immune.

He held me in his arms and whispered, "It must be a fake if the first person you call out to is Michael. If it were actually you, you'd definitely call out my name first."

I leaned against his shoulder in resignation. "How could you be jealous at a time like this?"

"Rachel..."

Zion pulled her back, but she was adamant about moving forward.

She walked toward the hologram and reached out to touch "Stephanie".

"I'm sorry, Stephie," she choked out the words. "I should've brought you away sooner."

The floor abruptly opened up again with a loud snap. Rachel fell down as well.

There was the sound of machinery.

Everyone could hear it. They could hear the screams. Afterward, they smelled the blood.

Then, blood started oozing out from the tiles where Joel and Rachel fell.

I tried to hold onto Steven's collar. My heart was beating rapidly, and my entire body was shaking.

It was that feeling again...
