Angel Monarch

Chapter 79: Darkest Hour

It happened just after dinner. They were sitting at the table, and just finished eating, but unlike other times Nightmare didn't leave. Instead through the door The Bull walked in.

Sera immediately began to fear what will happen next. Nightmare turned towards her, smiling. It was the most horrifying thing she ever saw.

Vicky must have felt it as well, because she began to hug Sera's arm while trembling from fear. The Bull was smiling too with that Madness behind his eyes.

"I think it's time for Freak to become a woman don't you, My Love?" Said Nightmare still smiling and motioned Bull to take Vicky away from Sera.

"NO!... Please Nightmare... Don't do this!..." But he didn't care and The Bull pulled Vicky away with ease.

"Mom... Mom please... Help me..." She was sobbing. After the months she spent with Nightmare, she wasn't innocent and knew what was about to happen to her.

Sera went on her knees and begged Nightmare. "Please... Let him take me... Not my daughter... Please I do anything..."

Nightmare knelt before her and held her face in his hands.

"Oh, that's nice. But through the mental torture I realized something about you. You have a hero complex and just can't stand if someone you love is getting hurt while you watch."

Nightmare laughed, then continued.

"It drives you Mad! The feeling of uselessness, but that is exactly what I want. You can save your daughter, but you have to become Mad to achieve it. Lets see if you can do it before Bull rapes your daughter to death!"

After saying that the Bull teared Vicky's clothes off with one move. Then he slapped her cheek and put her on the table, with her back facing up.

As he began to take off his clothes, Sera ran at him. She tried to stop him, but the collar on her neck sent waves of electricity coursing through her body. Even that didn't stop her fully and she tackled the Bull.

Sera screamed from the pain, while the Bull laughed from it. With their skin in contact he felt the electricity as well, but he ignored it and tossed Sera of off him.

She hit the wall hard and crumpled on the ground. Dazed and still convulsing from the collar she looked to the table. There Vicky was struggling trying her hardest to keep The Bull away from her.

"MOM!... PLEASE!... HELP!..." She screamed over and over. And while she screamed Nightmare laughed Madly. He was enjoying it.

Sera tried to stand but her body was in horrible pain. She got to one knee, when there was a loud scream, Bull was holding onto her daughter so strongly, that it broke every bone in her right arm.

With that scream Sera's mind went completely blank and she blacked out.

...

Sera woke up in a black space, but something was wrong. It wasn't just black, there was nothing here. She was in the Void.

'What... Where am I?... How do I get back!... I need to save Vicky!'

Something moved in the dark, she couldn't see it which made her happy. There was something wrong with the shape. It didn't make sense, like looking at something from a different dimension. It was driving her crazy.

She quickly looked away and heard a terrible screeching sound. After a while she realized what it was, the creature was laughing.

It said something, but not in a human language. It was something older. She didn't know the language but just hearing it drove her towards Madness.

After a couple of seconds she heard the creature in her head. This time it spoke in her language. The sound was so horrible she immediately fell on her side clutching her head.

"Are you ready to change?" It asked and she knew what it meant.

"NEVER!" Sera screamed. She won't give up her sanity to this creature.

It spoke again and this time blood came out of Sera's ears, nose, eyes and mouth. She screamed from the pain in her head.

"Pity." Said the voice in her head with some delay.

The pressure on her body kept increasing, after a while she couldn't even scream, the pain was just too much. Her last thought was about her daughter, she was still suffering and Sera couldn't do anything about it.

'No... I... Won't... Give... Up!'

First she moved her finger, then her hand and feet. The pain kept growing, but she didn't care.

"I... Will... Save... Her!"

She turned on her stomach and began to rise to her knee. The more she moved the more the pain increased. Eventually somehow she stood on very shaky legs and screamed.

"LET ME GO!" With that the false reality broke apart. The Void disappeared, but the voice said, before it was fully gone.

"Good, we will meet again Little Angel."

...

Her eyes opened, she was still on the ground just after The Bull broke Vicky's arm. Sera didn't think for a second, she grabbed the collar with both hands and ignoring the pain caused by the shock, she broke it.

There was a new found power in her veins and she used everything possible to save her daughter.

In a fraction of a second she flew at Bull and punched him so hard he hit the opposite wall. Then Sera grabbed her daughter and flew straight trhough the ceiling of the building.

Vicky was clutching onto her and crying from relief. Sera broke the collar on her neck as well and didn't stop until they were high in the sky.

Only then did she notice the armor she was wearing and her wings which were glowing as bright as a star. Then she looked down and saw the war spreading out in front of her.

Her eyes teared up by this sight. Bea came for them, she didn't give up.

Sera looked at it for quite a while, then decided she should help lead them to victory. Looking down at her daughter who was still crying Sera kissed the top of her head and began her descent.

She hit the ground near the front line and grabbed her daughter with one of her wings. Sera will not let her out of her sight.

Suddenly something hit her in the chest and didn't let her go. It was Bea wearing some weird armor, she was ready for war.

Sadly Sera wasn't the same, so she immediately pushed away and went on high alert. Bea didn't care though, she just smiled at her and went back to fighting.

The celebrating is after the war is won.
