DEATH AND REBIRTH

The most miserable condition is lying on the floor in unbearable pain and struggling for the last breath.

 

Looking at the person whom she called "family," Luna still hoped that the other person might feel guilty and let her go. Unfortunately, she was stabbed mercilessly again.

  

  

Even in hell, the voice of the person we love would give us a soothing feeling. Luna also felt the same when she heard her stepmother's voice; though for the world she was her stepmom, for Luna, she was equal to her birth mother.

  

  

The lady hurriedly came near Luna, and as soon as Luna saw that lady, she felt deep inside her heart that the lady came to help. "Oh my god! Who did this to my precious daughter? Who dared to hurt my daughter?"

  

  

Tears of happiness left Luna's eyes, thinking her stepmom would protect her, but all her emotions got stabbed by a single sentence from her stepmother: "I told you to kill her properly; see, she is still alive."

  

  

Luna's eyes got wide in shock. "Is she the woman whom I called mother all these years, like a coward?"

  

  

Looking at Luna's expression, her stepmother, who understood the situation, sneered, "You're such a fool because you believe an outsider more than your father and brother now see, and as a result, you're going to die in our hands. 

  

  

Die fast, dear; we don't have much time left. You need to die before the arrival of our son-in-law, and then only we can make everyone believe that you eloped with some stranger."

  

  

Luna requested, "I will leave everyone and everything. Please spare me. I'm pregnant. I just want my kid. Furthermore, I will go away." 

  

  

The reply of her stepmother, with a cunning expression, stunned Luna: "That's the main problem; right now, you're pregnant. Though we made him hate you enough, he still loves you.

  

  

Even though he made you his mistress for revenge, he still didn't give the position of his queen to my daughter just because you were in his heart until now. If he knows that you're having his child, he might forgive all your mistakes and make you his queen. But what about my daughter?

  

  

He'll never make my daughter the queen of his estates; if I let you go, all her dreams will be in vain. As a mother, I can't let that happen, so you should die for my daughter's happiness. I'm helpless, my dear stupid stepdaughter."

  

  

"I HATE MYSELF!"

  

  

This is the final statement that left Luna's mouth. Currently, she is collapsing with heavy breathing.

  

  

Her whole 22 years of life revolved in front of her; the chapters of foolishness in her life teased her misery.

  

  

She cost an innocent life by believing the poisonous people. She disrespected her father and brother by trusting fake people. Likewise, she hurt the man who loved only her by listening to toxic people.

  

  

Not only that, but she hated herself for calling the snake's mother and sister; she hated herself for making an asshole the love of her life. Mistakes happen, and regrets arise in the moment of the last breath, but what is the purpose of regretting when everything was ruined?

  

Luna regretted every moment of her life at the time of her death. The stabbing of the knife didn't hurt her, but watching the people she loved kill her passed the pain to each and every inch of her body.

  

  

Leaving the body and, as a soul, watching one's own death is the most unfortunate thing. The person whom she tried to kill is trying to save her, but the people whom she protected her lifelong are watching the way she is struggling for life with great pleasure.

  

  

What she got for loving the snakes was death—not normal death but the worst demise!

  

  

She has everything, and she ruined everything with her foolishness. She is laughing mockingly at her pathetic condition!

  

  

The flow of blood turned red, and the tears stopped as she felt she didn't even deserve her pity.

  

  

Her so-called sister, nahhh, the stepsister, stabbed her lifeless body again and again while saying "This bitch and the baby in her stomach shouldn't be alive", That's when her stepmother sighed, "Leave it, baby."

  

  

Luna felt, at least, like her mother. Nah, her cunning stepmother felt guilt or pity for killing her, but no, she misjudged this snake again.

  

  

The step-sister of Luna questioned, "Why Mom? Why do I need to stop? Do you feel pity for her? See, no matter how many times I stab her, she is still alive. Why?" 

  

  

The cunning stepmother left an evil chuckle: "Not even in my dreams am I ready to show pity, neither towards this bitch nor towards her mother."

  

  

I always wanted this bitch to die since the day I entered that house, but because of that old man, her so-called father, I let her survive all these years. Finally, she will die most bitterly as a culprit. Why waste your energy by stabbing her again and again?"

  

  

Both her stepmother and stepsister started laughing, while the so-called man who was loved by Luna came near them and kissed her stepsister while pouring a chemical on the face of her lifeless body and saying, "This bitch doesn't deserve a beautiful face while dying."

  

  

Three of them burst into laughter; one more person who was striving so hard to take a breath pleaded, "Please spare her," while the evil stepdaughter of Luna mocked, "This loyal dog! See, Mom, even after knowing that this bitch poisoned her, still wants us to spare this bitch."

  

  

Natalie, the stepmother of Luna, rolled her eyes. "Yes, dear, people like these both don't deserve earth, especially in front of us. Even if this so-called stepdaughter becomes alive still after knowing everything just by watching a single drop of tears from my eyes, she will get melted and say, "It's okay, Mom, I can die for you, such a pitiful soul!"

  

  

The trio started laughing like mad people once again, while the other person also left her last breath in pain, watching her best friend's death miserably.

  

  

The two bodies are lying lifeless on the ground, watching the cruelest act of three merciless humans.

  

  

Luna's only wish is that if she gets another chance to live once again, she would like to correct all her mistakes and cherish the people who loved her. She wants to show those few people where they deserve to stay.

  

  

The soul of Luna was sitting right beside her body and watching everything. She wanted to hit and shout at them, but everything went in vain as she was unable to touch them, and at the same time, her voice was not reachable to anyone.

  

  

They dug a gutter and buried her alive, covering her with mud. They felt that they covered their sin, but what about nature, who witnessed this painful death with a bleeding heart? Will they ever be forgiven?

  

  

Luna felt deep inside her heart while shredding the tears: "The world crumbles around me; I'll be fine, and then I won't be. Just like that, my entire life 

  

  

I became engulfed in this storm raging inside my mind; I forgot how to smile and laugh! All I know is that I'm not okay.

  

I'm not okay at all.

  

All I know is that the pain in my head

  

somehow becomes a pain in my body,

  

My muscles ached, and my limbs became weak and heavy.

  

  

My mind is spinning with a thousand thoughts.

  

Into one single moment of emptiness, and yet I keep it to myself.

  

  

A secret kept to the grave, fear takes over, and silence ensues. My struggles are my own, not those of others.

  

  

Why burden anyone with something pointless that even I can't make sense of? So, I just lay here,

  

alone, I'm buried alive."

  

  

Watching the man who loved her come in front of her, she wanted to burst out everything in front of him, but she couldn't, as he could neither see nor hear her.

  

  

He caught a glimpse of the lifeless body of his sister and collapsed while holding her, asking, "Who the hell killed my sister? What happened to her?"

  

Watching him in tears because of her made her sense the pain of thousands of stabbings in her heart.

  

She kneeled beside him while sobbing, "It's me who harmed her by being blinded by fake people around me; you're right, I don't deserve the devotion."

  

  

You did the right thing by making me your mistress instead of your wife, but you're also believing a snake and making her your wife. All I could say is that I do apologize, but I don't deserve your forgiveness.

  

  

At first, I killed your trust in me and criticized your tenderness by misjudging your character; now I have failed to protect her and you from these evil people."

  

  

Her evil stepmother and stepsister put on a fake act: "It's none other than Luna; she poisoned your sister as your sister tried to stop her from eloping with that man. After succeeding in her act of killing your sister, she eloped with him. We are unable to protect your sister; we failed to protect her."

  

  

Watching the hatred in the face of the man who loved her and almost killed her again and again, he shouted, "Luna, even hell can't save you from me when I find you."

  

  

He shredded the tears while holding the dead body of his sister in his hands. Luna, who was beside him watching everything but couldn't do anything, mumbled, "All I want is to go back once again, not to protect myself but to save an innocent life."

  

  

Suddenly, a heavy breeze started. Slowly, the breeze became a heavy wind, and Luna's soul was floating in the air. The soul was pulled in a backward direction forcefully, and she screamed "ahhhhhhh" out of fear.

  

  

She opened her eyes after the wind tossed her somewhere, but she noticed a familiar place—her room and her home. She felt everything like a dream, but she wasn't sure whether to believe it or not!

  

  

Luna felt like her throat got dry due to the nightmare, so the thought of having water popped up in her mind, but there was no water in her room, so she headed towards the kitchen for water, but her steps stopped when she heard a few voices in a low tone.

  

  

"Mom, I can't handle it anymore. Why does she get all the attention every time? I hate her." It was none other than her stepsister, Luna, who listened carefully without making any noise.

  

  

Her stepmother tried to console her: "Do you think I like it when she is taking all your attention, too? I also hate that bitch, but what can we do?

  

  

After all, she is the only princess of this family, and though that man married me for his daughter, I'm still like a mere mistress of him, and you're like an illegitimate child.

  

  

But don't worry; didn't you tell me that she messed with a rich man? Make him hate her more and lure him; you'll become the queen. What if she is a princess here? You'll become the queen of a rich family."

  

  

Both of them laughed evilly. Luna felt, "They're behaving just like in my dream, so it's not a dream; whatever I've experienced is my future; I came back to the past; did I get a chance to change everything?"

  

Luna ran inside her room and took the mobile with shivering hands. She breathed heavily and checked the current date, but her eyes widened in surprise. That's when she understood that she was back to 2 years before the incident that led to her death.

  

  

Not only that, but it is also the beginning of her bad phase; it means she already messed with him. The man who is her biggest nightmare is none other than Daniel Knight!

  

 FUTURE GLIMPSE

  

A young man of alluring beauty was tied to the bed. The man tied to the bed is not any ordinary man, but Daniel Knight.

  

His name alone is enough to bring terror to people's hearts, but who dared to tie a man like him to the bed? He opened his eyes as the intoxicants finally started decreasing.

  

No matter how hard he tried to move, he still failed every single time as he got tied strongly, leaving a growl of frustration.

  

By lifting his head, he looked around the room, and that's when he found himself in a girly and childish room that was filled with toys and girly items.

  

Out of anger, he screamed, "Who the hell did this to me? I, Daniel Knight, swear to kill you if you keep on hiding."

  

That's when he heard the soothing sound of a girl laughing. A delicate figure stood right in front of him, and his eyes went wide when he observed the person in front of him.

  

He mumbled "Luna," and she smiled brightly, but he didn't understand anything, as the girl right in front of him was the same girl who always loves to escape from him.

  

The girl who never liked to be in his presence and the same girl who never wanted his attention abducted him and tied him up like he was a personal toy of hers. Strangely, he is not angry with her.

  

Hiding his surprised expression with fake anger, he shouted, "What kind of childish games are these, Luna?" She replied while sitting on his torso, "I love games."

  

His eyes widened once again with shock; he wanted someone to slap or punch him to know whether it was a dream or true because she is the person with whom he wishes to spoil each and every second, but she always chooses to insult him.

  

He asked in a low tone, "Repeat it again?" She giggled, "Nah, I, Luna White, never repeat the same sentence." He sighed in frustration and said, "Fine, do whatever you like, but first untie me."

  

She replied with a cunning smile, "Never." He was controlling his anger but finally burst out helplessly, "You little girl, first untie me; otherwise, I'm going to call your father and brother to show your bratty actions."

  

Luna gave an evil smirk and said, "Fine, then show my brother and father how I will make love to you! Oops, I'm sorry, I mean show them the way I will take the virginity of the great Daniel Knight."

  

Daniel screamed in astonishment, "What?" The next minute his lips were sealed by delicate, smooth, yet honey-tasting lips; she was kissing him like a wild cat endeavoring its prey; the king of knight enterprises became a pet to a little girl.
