All Chapters of I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The sound that followed was unlike anything Elena had ever heard.It wasn't an explosion.It wasn't a scream.It was deeper.Older.It seemed to come from beneath the building, beneath the city, perhaps even beneath the earth itself.The floor trembled beneath Elena's feet.Adrian immediately reached for her.“Stay with me.”“I am.”But Elena couldn't stop staring at the cracked floor.Something had awakened down there.Something that had been sleeping for longer than anyone could imagine.Aria stood completely still.Her face had lost all color.“Aria?”She didn't answer.“Aria!”Her eyes finally moved toward Elena.“We have to leave.”“Why?”“Now.”“What is down there?”Aria swallowed.“The first Witness.”Elena frowned.“I thought the Witness was already connected to us.”“It is.”“Then what's beneath us?”Aria's voice dropped.“The original consciousness.”Silence.Noah slowly lowered his scanner.“You mean there are two?”“No.”Aria shook her head.“There is only one.”“Then expl

Elena couldn't move.She stood beneath the endless silver sky, staring at the crack that had appeared above them.Something was looking through it.She couldn't see its entire form.Only two enormous eyes.Dark.Ancient.Watching.Adrian stepped closer to her.“Elena, don't look at it.”She tore her gaze away.“What is that?”Her mother didn't answer.“Mom?”Her mother looked terrified.“I don't know.”“You said something was beyond this world.”“I didn't know it would find us this quickly.”Aria stepped forward.“What is it?”Their mother shook her head.“Something the Witness has been hiding from us.”Elena frowned.“The Witness hides things?”“Not from you.”“Then from whom?”Her mother looked at the sky.“From itself.”The crack widened.A low sound rolled across the silver landscape.It wasn't a roar.It was more like a whisper stretched across eternity.Elena felt it inside her bones.Adrian took her hand.“We need to get out of here.”Her mother shook her head.“There is nowher

Elena couldn't take her eyes off the woman standing in the flames.Her grandmother.Alive.Impossible.For several seconds, nobody moved.The woman simply stood there, watching Elena as if she had been waiting for this exact moment for years.“Come home,” she said again.Elena's lips parted.“You're dead.”The woman smiled faintly.“That is what they wanted you to believe.”Elena felt Adrian's hand close around hers.He leaned closer.“Don't go near her.”Elena barely heard him.Her mind was spinning.Her grandmother had been dead for years.She had attended the funeral.She remembered the flowers.She remembered her mother's tears.She remembered standing beside the grave, wondering why death had taken another person she loved.But now that same woman was standing in front of her.Alive.Untouched by time.Elena looked at her mother.“Is that her?”Her mother couldn't answer.“Mom.”Her mother finally nodded.“Yes.”Elena's heart sank.“You knew.”“I suspected.”“That's not an answer

Elena stared at the thousands of silver eyes opening behind the little girl.Her body went completely still.For one terrifying second, she forgot how to breathe.The girl was still holding her hand.But her innocent expression was gone.Her eyes had changed.They were no longer dark.They were glowing silver.“Elena,” Adrian whispered.She looked at him.“I see them.”Aria stepped closer.“What are those things?”“I don't know.”The Witness answered inside Elena's mind.They are the gatekeepers.Elena swallowed.“Gatekeepers?”They guard what lies beyond the final gate.Aria looked toward the silver eyes.“Are they on our side?”The witness was silent.That silence frightened Elena more than anything else.“Answer me.”No.The little girl suddenly smiled.Elena's blood ran cold.“Who are you?”The girl tilted her head.“I told you.”“I don't remember.”“I don't remember either.”“Then why do you have their eyes?”The girl's smile disappeared.“Because they are looking through me.”El

The darkness lasted only a few seconds.To Elena, it felt like hours.She stood completely still, unable to see Adrian, Aria, or the Keeper. Her hands trembled as she reached forward.“Adrian?”No answer.“Aria?”Still nothing.Panic tightened around her chest.“Adrian!”A hand suddenly grabbed hers.“I’m here.”She nearly collapsed with relief.“You scared me.”“I was right beside you.”“I couldn't see you.”“I know.”His fingers tightened around hers.“I'm not letting go.”Elena took a shaky breath.“Good.”A faint golden light appeared across the room.The Keeper was standing beside an old stone table.The little girl was behind him, staring nervously at the doorway.Aria walked toward Elena.“Are you okay?”Elena nodded.“I think so.”“You collapsed.”“I did?”“For a few seconds.”Elena looked at the Keeper.“What happened?”“You remembered.”“Remembered what?”“Yourself.”Elena frowned.“I don't understand.”The keeper pointed toward the center of the room.“Come.”Elena followed
