All Chapters of I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

For the first time since Gabriel arrived, nobody moved.Elena stood in the middle of the clearing, silver light flickering in her eyes.Gabriel stared at her.The confidence on his face was gone.“You know,” he whispered.Elena nodded.“I know enough.”His jaw tightened.“Your sister showed you.”“Yes.”“She shouldn't have been able to reach you.”“She did.”Gabriel looked toward Elena's grandmother.“You told me she was gone.”Her grandmother lowered her eyes.“I was wrong.”Gabriel laughed bitterly.“You were always wrong when it mattered.”Elena stepped closer.“You're the source.”Gabriel's expression changed.“Who told you that?”“My sister.”“You believe her?”“I believe what I saw.”Gabriel shook his head.“You saw fragments.”“I saw the truth.”“No.”He pointed at Elena.“You saw exactly what I wanted you to see.”Elena frowned.“Then why are you afraid?”Gabriel said nothing.Adrian stepped beside Elena.“She's right.”Gabriel looked at him.“You don't understand what you're

The six chambers opened at once.For several seconds, nobody moved.Elena could only stare.Six figures stood inside the cold, blue-lit laboratory.Six people.Six lives that should have ended years ago.Their bodies were connected to wires and tubes, but they were no longer unconscious. Their eyes were open.Silver.Just like Adrian's.Elena's heart pounded.“Adrian…”He stood beside her, breathing heavily.His hands were shaking.“Run,” he whispered again.Elena refused to move.“No.”His eyes flashed silver.“I'm serious.”“I know.”“Then go.”She shook her head.“I'm not leaving you.”One of the six figures stepped forward.A young woman.She looked around the laboratory as though she had just woken from a very long dream.“Where are we?”Another figure answered.“Home.”The woman turned.“Seven?”The man standing beside the chamber nodded.“You're awake.”She looked toward Adrian.Then she froze.“You.”Adrian stared at her.“I don't know you.”The woman smiled sadly.“You don't

“Run.”Adrian's voice was barely above a whisper.But Elena heard him.She looked at the silver light beneath his skin.Then at his eyes.Something was changing inside him.The Genesis core was no longer inside the machine.It was inside Adrian.And Gabriel's father was smiling.Elena stood slowly.“You knew this would happen.”He didn't deny it.“Yes.”“You planned everything.”“Not everything.”His eyes moved toward Adrian.“The seventh sequence surprised even me.”Adrian struggled to stand.Elena immediately supported him.“Easy.”He pushed himself upright.“I can stand.”“You almost died.”“I know.”His hand went to his chest.The silver light pulsed beneath his skin.Boom.Boom.Boom.Each pulse seemed to shake the room.Adrian closed his eyes.“I can hear them.”Elena's heart tightened.“Who?”“The six.”Aria stepped forward.“What are they saying?”Adrian opened his eyes.“They're afraid.”Aria's expression changed.“Of what?”“Of me.”The six subjects stepped backward.Elena l

Elena stared at the device in her hand.It was smaller than she had expected.A simple silver object, no larger than her palm.Yet somehow, it felt heavier than anything she had ever held.Gabriel's father's words continued echoing in her mind.If you destroy Genesis, you destroy every person still trapped inside it.Elena looked around the chamber.The six awakened subjects stood silently.Aria looked frightened.Marcus was staring at the broken machines.Sarah was holding her arms tightly around herself.Daniel looked confused.They had all been connected to Genesis.And if Gabriel's father was telling the truth, there were thousands more.People Elena had never met.People who might still be trapped.Her fingers tightened around the device.“What happens if I destroy it?”Noah answered quietly.“We don't know.”Elena looked at him.“That's not what I asked.”He swallowed.“If you destroy the source completely, the system may collapse.”“And the people connected to it?”“They may…”

“Elena!”Adrian's voice was the last thing she heard before everything disappeared.There was no pain.No sound.No darkness.Just silence.Elena floated somewhere she couldn't explain.She couldn't feel her body.She couldn't tell if her eyes were open or closed.Then she heard voices.Thousands of them.Whispering.Crying.Calling her name.“Elena…”“Please…”“Help us…”“Don't leave us…”She tried to move, but she couldn't.“Where am I?”Her own voice sounded distant.A soft voice answered.“You're inside.”Elena froze.“Luna?”“Yes.”“What happened?”“You transferred the connection.”Elena looked around.Nothing.“What does that mean?”“It means Genesis is inside you now.”Her heart sank.“I thought that would destroy it.”“It will.”“Then why can I still hear everyone?”“Because you haven't released them yet.”Elena's breathing quickened.“How?”Luna's voice became softer.“You have to choose.”“Again?”“Yes.”Elena almost laughed.“I'm tired of choosing.”“I know.”“What happens
