All Chapters of I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

“If Aurelia takes herself back…”The First Mother looked at Elena with tears in her eyes.“…Elena will disappear.”Elena couldn't speak.Above her, the woman who looked exactly like her floated in the sky.Aurelia.Her original self.The creator.The beginning.The woman Elena had once been before she became human.Before the memories.Before the deaths.Before Adrian.Elena looked at her own hands.They were shaking.“So I'm not real?”Adrian immediately turned toward her.“Don't say that.”“But she is me.”“Yes.”“And I'm her.”“Yes.”“Then what am I?”Adrian stepped closer.“You're Elena.”Her eyes filled with tears.“That doesn't answer the question.”“It does to me.”Elena looked at him.Adrian took both her hands.“I don't care who you were before.”His voice was steady.“I care about who you are now.”Aurelia watched them from above.Then she laughed.“You still don't understand.”Elena looked up.“Then explain it.”“You are borrowing a life that belongs to me.”Elena's express

“Elena…”The voice echoed through the broken sky.“Come home, daughter.”Elena couldn't breathe.Her eyes remained fixed on the figure above them.The woman was too far away to see clearly.Yet Elena knew her.She had known that voice before she even understood what it meant.Her mother.The woman who had killed her once.The woman who had claimed she was trying to protect her.The woman who had hidden the truth for centuries.Now she was standing beyond the sky.And she wasn't looking at Elena.She was looking at Aurelia.The silver light inside Elena's chest suddenly burned.“Aurelia?”No answer.Elena pressed her hand against her heart.“Aurelia, talk to me.”Finally, she heard a whisper.I'm afraid.Elena froze.Aurelia was afraid.The woman who had challenged the First Ones.The woman who had nearly taken over the world.The woman who had once believed herself powerful enough to control everything.She was afraid of her own mother.Elena looked up.“Why are you afraid of her?”Au

Something stepped out of the darkness wearing Adrian’s face.For one terrible second, Elena forgot how to breathe.The stranger had Adrian’s eyes, Adrian’s mouth, and the same small scar beneath his left eyebrow. Even the way he stood was familiar.But it was not Adrian.Elena knew that immediately.The real Adrian was still on his knees in front of her, one hand pressed against his chest as black cracks spread across his skin.The copy smiled.“Hello, Elena.”Adrian tried to stand.His knees gave way.“Don’t listen to him,” he warned.The copy tilted his head.“You always say that.”Elena moved between them.“Who are you?”The stranger looked down at his hands.“Perhaps the better question is, what am I?”“Answer me.”“I am what was removed from him.”Adrian’s face went pale.Elena looked at him.“What does that mean?”Adrian shook his head.“I don’t know.”The copy laughed softly.“You know more than you think.”Behind them, the First Source began to tremble. The small silver child

“LET HIM GO!”Elena's scream tore through the sky.She ran toward Adrian, but the golden light around him exploded outward.The force threw her backward.She hit the ground hard.“ELENA!”Adrian's voice sounded distant.She looked up.He was floating above the broken earth.Golden chains of light wrapped around his arms, chest, and legs.His face was twisted with pain.The ancient being stood beneath him.“My son,” he whispered.Adrian shook his head.“I am not your son.”The being smiled.“You still resist.”“I don't know you.”“You knew me before you had a name.”Adrian screamed as the golden chains tightened.Elena pushed herself to her feet.“Stop!”The being turned toward her.“You have no authority here.”Elena's silver energy erupted around her body.“I don't need authority.”She raised her hand.“I need him.”The golden light surrounding Adrian flickered.The being's smile disappeared.“You still believe love makes you powerful.”“It does.”“No.”He raised one hand.“You are p

The blade was already at Adrian’s throat when Elena realized the woman holding it was herself.Not a reflection.Not a memory.Not another copy created by the First Ones.Her.The Elena who had died at the beginning of everything.The Elena whose death had started the cycle.The Elena who remembered what the present Elena had forgotten.Adrian stood frozen behind the blade.The woman smiled.“You finally came back.”Elena’s heart hammered.“Put the blade down.”The woman laughed.“You still give orders.”“I’m not ordering you.”“You always say that.”Her eyes moved to Adrian.“And then you take away someone’s choice.”Adrian’s jaw tightened.“Who are you?”The woman looked at him.“You don't remember me?”“No.”“You should.”She pressed the blade closer.Elena took a step forward.“Don't.”The woman looked at Elena.“You remember the first world.”“Yes.”“You remember the Source.”“Yes.”“You remember Lyra.”Elena glanced toward the little girl.“Yes.”“Then remember me.”The ancient
