All Chapters of I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Elena couldn't move.She stood in the middle of the white room, staring at the woman in front of her.The woman looked like her.Not similar.Not related.Exactly like her.The same eyes.The same lips.The same small scar beneath her left eyebrow.Even the same expression Elena had seen in the mirror countless times.But there was something different about her.She looked peaceful.Too peaceful.Elena took a cautious step backward."Who are you?"The woman smiled."I already told you.""You said you're part of me.""Yes.""That's impossible."The woman tilted her head."Is it?"Elena looked around.There was nothing in the room.No doors.No windows.No machines.Nothing."Where am I?""Inside.""Inside what?""Your consciousness."Elena's breathing became shallow."Then why can I see you?""Because you're finally ready.""For what?"The woman stepped closer."To remember."Elena shook her head."I remember everything.""No."The woman's voice was gentle."You remember what they allo

The silver sphere shattered.Elena screamed.Not because of the sound.Because something inside her answered.A wave of heat rushed through her body, starting from her chest and spreading to her fingertips. Her knees nearly gave way, but Adrian caught her before she hit the ground."Elena!"She couldn't answer.Her vision blurred.The chamber disappeared.For a moment, there was only darkness.Then she heard a heartbeat.Slow.Steady.Not hers.Another heartbeat answered it.Then another.Thousands.Elena opened her eyes.She was no longer standing in the underground chamber.She was somewhere else.A vast darkness stretched around her.Figures stood in the distance.Hundreds of them.Maybe thousands.Each one looked like her.Different ages.Different clothing.Different expressions.But the same eyes.Elena's breath caught."What is this?"A voice answered behind her."Everything they tried to erase."She turned.Her mother stood there.Not inside the silver sphere anymore.Not trap

Elena couldn't speak.Neither could anyone else.They stood at the edge of the enormous underground city, staring at something that should not have existed beneath the Virelli estate.Buildings stretched into the distance.Silver lights glowed from their walls.Bridges connected towering structures.Strange symbols moved across transparent surfaces like living patterns.And beneath everything was a soft hum.It sounded almost like breathing.Adrian slowly lowered his weapon."What the hell is this?"Elena didn't answer.She couldn't.Something inside her recognized the place.Not as a memory.As something deeper.Something that felt like home.The younger Elena stood beside her, staring at the city."I've seen this."Elena turned toward her."In your dreams?"The girl nodded."Every night.""Why didn't you tell me?""I thought it was just a dream."Elena looked back at the city."It wasn't."Behind them, her grandfather remained on his knees.He wasn't looking at the city.He was look

The ground moved.Not shook.Moved.Like something enormous was turning beneath the city.Elena lost her balance and fell against Adrian.He caught her around the waist."Are you okay?"She nodded, though her heart was pounding."Yes."Another tremor passed through the ground.This time, the buildings around them groaned.Glass shattered somewhere in the distance.People screamed.The silver lights flickered.Then one of the towers collapsed.Elena watched in horror as the enormous structure folded in on itself."What is happening?"The older Elena looked toward the ground."The consequence.""What consequence?""You chose freedom."Elena frowned."I don't understand.""You refused to merge everyone.""Yes.""And the system was built around one purpose.""What purpose?""Unity."Elena stared at her."Forced unity."The older Elena nodded."Exactly."The younger Elena looked around."So because Elena refused to control everyone, the system is rejecting her?""No."The older Elena shook

The voice disappeared.For several seconds, nobody moved.Elena stared into the darkness beyond the city gates, trying to understand what she had just heard.Your real enemy.The words felt different from everything that had come before.Her grandfather had been cruel.The Blackridge system had been terrifying.The source had been mysterious.But this voice was something else.It knew her name.It knew her family.And somehow, it had been watching.Adrian stepped in front of Elena."Who are you?"No answer came.He raised his voice."I asked you a question."A soft laugh echoed through the city."You are protective of her."Adrian's expression hardened."Stay away from her."The voice laughed again."I don't intend to hurt her."Elena stepped around Adrian."Then why are you here?"A pause."To finish what your family started."Elena's stomach tightened."What did my family start?""You still don't remember.""I remember enough.""No."The voice became colder."You remember what they
