Chapter 6. Gate of Hell

        A huge burning flames like hell was what that could be seen. It appeared as if the flames were fiery, as they roared with a very bright hue, burning widely and enveloping the whole place.....

In the middle of the fiery flames, a silhouette that gave out a feminine shape could be seen. 

It was unknown who the silhouette was, but it was evident, she was in an unbearable condition. She was chained and seemed to be burning! 

She yelled and cried out loudly, her voice screaming of nothing but despair and misery! She could feel the heat of the flames like hell, burning her skin, almost close to melting it, which was so agonizing to her. 

" Noooooo!!!" 

" Get me out of here!" 

" I am in pain, please......" 

Overwhelmed with excruciating pain, she shouted with so much anguish! She pulled her chained limbs, with so much frustration, but it was just futile!

" Please........!" She lifted up her already clammy head and yelled on top of her voice! 

But when she did, her dark face came into view, as the flames burned more. The distressed lady was none other than Anita......The cursed wolfless! 

But right now, she didn't seemed to care about that. She just wanted to be free, as her whole body was drenched in nothing but hot sweats, dripping down from her heated body. Though, strangely the flames weren't peeling or ruining her body.....

In this heated situation, her eyes shone an amber shade, that reflected the extreme misery that was raging in her. She was woeful! 

This was when she recalled what occured to her before....

She was killed, beheaded, humiliated, and thrown into the abyss of calvary and torment! 

" All because of what?!" She growled and roared, with so much rage radiating from her heated body! 

As Anita bursted out this, she weirdly realized something was odd about her. Instantly, she rolled and craned her neck, repeatedly, just to make real she wasn't dead or in the spirit form. And of course, her head wasn't separated from her body ......

But before she could think further, a heavy dark smoke appeared in front of her out of no where unexpectedly. . .

This stunned her, as she glanced at the smoke and gasped. She couldn't say anything, cause she was shocked. She only saw the heavy dark smoke, forming and suddenly metamorphing into something like a dry skeleton, in a long dark robe, holding a long scythe. 

Anita couldn't comprehend what that was, but she was too distressed to care or freak out. 

" Rrrhhh." 

A dry breath flowed out from the smoky figure, who was a grim reaper. With it long robe and scythe, it moved closer to Anita, aiming to take away the rest of her soul...

Anita pulled her brows together deeply, gritting her teeth, as she could feel the heat of the flames burning around her, the more!

*Snap!* 

A snap of fingers was heard, and immediately, the grim reaper vanished! 

*Voom!* 

" Anita." 

An ethereal looking figure with a heavenly glow, came into view, the moment the grim reaper vanished! The figure appeared so majestic, with her long flowing hair, dazzling silvery gown that highlighted her glow, and her exquisite facial features, screaming of nothing but gentleness and powers! A silvery crown like moon, was on her head, which made her to appear unmatched, unique, yet somewhat familiar. 

" Who are you?" Anita narrowed her eyes indifferently at the ethereal looking being. 

The ethereal being lifted up her delicate chin and clasped her hands together, below her waist. 

" I am the moon goddess," she responded calmly. 

Immediately Anita heard this, her expression darkened, and she scowled! 

" You.......you are here to mock me and make me feel more miserable right?!" She spat angrily at the moon goddess. 

The moon goddess was still calm. She faced Anita, staring straight into her eyes. " You are wrong, Anita." She said, in a solemn voice. 

Anita snorted coldly! " How am I wrong?!! Isn't it obvious, you made me like this! It was you who created me and made me wolfless! I am in this agony because of you! Because of you and your evil people, I lost my life, I lost everything! I am nothing because of you all!" Her eyes were full of resentment, as she bellowed furiously at the moon goddess! 

The moon goddess' expression changed, but it was stoical, difficult to comprehend what she was feeling. She turned her back, that were screaming of nothing but invincibility! 

" Every action has a reason, so as the reason why I created you." She took a step forward. " I am your creator, your god, your bestower, did you really think I created you to suffer?" 

" I don't care! You did!" Anita fired at the goddess! 

" Silence!" The goddess faced her again and snapped loudly, her voice reverberating around the whole place as it thundered! " Who is your god?! Who is your creator?! I created you, not to talk back at me rudely! How befitting of you!" 

The whole flames died down instantly after her thundering words, including Anita's chain that broke. The whole place weirdly turned deafening quiet, with a little amount of brightness. 

Anita was relieved, but she lowered her eyes, to hide the gloominess and savagery in them. 

" You were only a test to mankind." The moon goddess continued, " I created you to witness how dark and cruel your fellow people's hearts are. " Then, she stretched her hands , and a small golden ball appeared on them. 

" You were never a mistake. I created you to be special, formidable, and unconquerable. " 

Anita lifted up her head, her expression changing slightly. She wasn't anticipating to hear this. 

" If I am special, then why am I here?!" 

" Your soul just passed from the gates of hell, and the realm of the spirits." The moon goddess replied, in a voice full of tranquility. " Men failed. They got consumed with the things of the physical realm. You were the sacrifice to that." 

Anita wasn't pleased to hear this. Memories of what happened to her, flashed in her mind, again and again, and she groaned! It was painful to recall all of that, and the hateful look on everyone's face that day......

She balled her fists, a bitter look roaming across her eyes, paving way for a murderous and bloodlust glint. " I want their heads to roll! I want them all to have a taste of what they did to me!" Her nostrils began to flare, as extreme fury surged in her heart! " They must witness my comeback and cry for death! I was only innocent, craving for a simple peaceful life, but they did this to me! I want to eliminate them all and slaughter them like animals as they did to me!!" 

The moon goddess lowered her eyes at her but looked away. " You can't." She gave a curt reply, that made Anita's heart to turned heavy. 

" Why?" A pained and disappointed look appeared on her face, mixed with intense anger, and she clenched her jaws! " You told me I am not a mistake! You told me you only wanted to use me to witness the cruelty of mankind! So why can't you give me a chance to get justice for myself?!" 

" Because you aren't craving for justice! I can see it in your heart, Anita." The moon goddess retorted and moved closer to her, placing a hand on her cheek. " Your heart is overwhelmed with too much rage. You are only seeking vengeance, but what about others? I am afraid I can't give you a second chance. You will only ruin things more and be a monster like them." She made her reasons known. 

" No!!!!" Anita cried out! " You can't do this to me! I deserved a life! I deserved to live and be with the ones that cares about me! Please, you have to give me a chance! Please!" She refused vehemently and pleaded with the moon goddess! 

" Please......" 

The moon goddess' eyes twinkled, taking in the feel of what Anita was experiencing, and she took a slow deep breath. 

" Please....." 

" You have to give up one thing, if you want a second chance." The moon goddess told her solemnly and passed her the golden ball in her hands. 

Anita was astounded to hear this, and she furrowed her brows. 

" Give up one thing?" She repeated, feeling puzzled.

The moon goddess nodded and took few steps backward. 

" What?"
