Chapter 8

Author: Daydreamer
I was too stunned to speak.

Janice had actually started hurting innocent people…because of me?

"Go talk to her," the old man said with a tired sigh. "Don't let her keep going down this path. We can't enter that world ourselves. Only one interworld traveler can enter a given world."

I nodded.

I didn't want to see Janice again, but I couldn't let her keep killing people because of me.

I followed the man to a rundown building.

Police had the place surrounded. A loudspeaker kept blaring from o

    I continued, "For example, you could've stopped it from happening. You could've kept Tim from leaving the country. There were plenty of options. Instead, you chose to make me take his place. Janice… Do you really love me?"Janice was smart. If she had truly wanted to change things, she could've handled it perfectly.Yet, she didn't.She chose the most extreme outcome and let me be the one who paid for it.She never even stopped to think if I would survive.She had already changed. She just refused to admit it."I used to give in easily," I said quietly, "but that was for the version of you who loved me. Not for the version that chose to hurt me."I paused, then met her eyes."Janice… I don't love you anymore."The love I once had for her had long since turned into nothing but disappointment and pain. I thought I had let it go, but the wound still ached deep down."I was wrong… I'm sorry…" She sank to the floor, clutching her head, her voice breaking into quiet sobs.I sighed

A loudspeaker kept blaring from outside."Janice Frost, you're surrounded! Put the weapon down and come out with your hands up. Cooperate, and we'll go easy on you."The old man led me straight through the perimeter and into the building.The metallic smell of blood hit me immediately, so thick that it almost made me gag.And then I saw Janice, standing in the middle of a room, soaked in blood. She stood there with her back to me, completely still, like a statue.On the floor, Tim lay barely breathing, his body drenched in

    Janice forced herself through the wave of pain crashing over her and activated a teleportation array.Her figure vanished on the spot. A second later, she reappeared near Tim.The moment he saw her, he hurried over, reaching for her with an eager smile."Where did you go? I couldn't even catch up to you."Janice didn't look at him. She kicked him hard, sending him to the ground, then grabbed his hair and yanked his head back."You injected Samuel with a septic agent?!"Tim cried out, panic flashing across his face as he shook his head. "I didn't! I swear I didn't! Janice, what are you talking about? Why would I hurt Samuel?""Still lying?" Her hand closed around his throat, tightening bit by bit, her voice cold enough to cut. "Talk. Why did you do it?""Cough… Janice… I-I did it for us…" He struggled to breathe, words breaking apart between gasps. "If he stayed alive…we…we could never be together… I know you love me. You were just held back because you're married…"Disgust fli

    Janice couldn't believe that Tim, someone she had trusted without question, was capable of something this vicious.She opened her mouth, but no words came. She had never told Tim to inject me.Katie pulled a ring from her pocket and tossed it at her feet."Samuel asked me to give you this."Janice's hands trembled as she picked it up.It was our wedding ring.Fear flooded her eyes, disbelief right behind it."H-He doesn't want me anymore?"The light reflecting off the ring stung her eyes.Back then, on that mission, she took shrapnel for me. A fragment had pierced her ribs, and even like that, she told me that I should find someone else.I refused. I melted that piece of metal down and turned it into this ring.On our wedding day, I told her that if there ever came a day I didn't want her anymore, I would take it off.And now I had.Katie let out a cold laugh. "Yeah. He watched you get on that helicopter with Tim, watched his own wife cut off his only way out. Why would he

    The file slipped from Janice's hand and hit the floor with a sharp snap.She stared at the notification, reading it over and over in her mind. "Samuel's…dead?"Her voice shook as she whispered it. She quickly contacted her mentor through an arcane channel.The mentor was quiet for a moment, eyes fixed on the screen where my lifeless face stared back."Yes," he said at last. "He's gone."Janice's eyes widened, panic breaking through. "He's the main protagonist! He's supposed to be protected. How could he die?"Her mentor let out a low breath."Janice, you let your feelings cloud your judgment. There's only so much luck this world can give. You transferred most of Samuel's luck to Tim. Once that happened, the thing keeping Samuel alive disappeared."There was a pause. A flicker of something like pity crossed the mentor's expression."Plus, you forced him through things he was never meant to endure. By the end, there was nothing left. Everything that should've sustained him had

    My teammates rushed me onto a stretcher and pushed me toward the runway.We ran straight into Janice and Tim as they were about to leave.Katie Hoffman sprinted over and grabbed Janice by the arm. "Let Samuel get on first. He's crashing. If he doesn't make it back, he's not going to survive!"Janice didn't even pause. "No. The helicopter only fits two. I'm taking Tim out now. This place isn't safe."Her voice was steady, with no hesitation.Katie's voice broke as she shouted, "Samuel's dying! He's your husband! How is getting Tim out more important than his life?"Tim lowered his head, putting on that soft, fragile look. "It's okay, Janice. Samuel's probably just jealous. You should take him back. I'll be fine here on my own."Janice had been wavering, just slightly.But after she heard that, her expression settled."Samuel's not in danger. The doctors just said he was stable. Don't try to lie to me for him. This isn't the time to act out."She grabbed Tim's hand and headed f
