Rejected Luna: Rise of an Omega Queen의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

“Open the door.”The voice came again.This time, I recognized it.It was the same voice that had followed me through my memories.The same voice that had whispered beneath the sanctuary.The same voice that had called my father son.My father moved in front of me.“Don't open it.”The woman holding my hand tightened her grip.“He's right.”I stared at her.“You know who is outside.”Her expression darkened.“They are the reason I was erased.”My mother stood frozen across the chamber.Tears streamed down her face.“I thought you were gone.”The woman looked at her.“You made sure everyone thought I was.”My mother flinched.“I was trying to protect her.”“You erased me from her memories.”“I had no choice.”“There is always a choice.”The chamber trembled again.The doors cracked further.Ethan moved closer to Lena.“What exactly is outside?”The woman looked at him.“The people who built the first vessel.”Lena's face tightened.“And they want Amara?”“No.”She looked at me.“They w

“And we've come to take you home.”The woman's words echoed through the chamber.I stared at her.“Home?”She smiled.“The place where you were created.”My father stepped forward.“She was never yours.”The woman's expression hardened.“You still don't understand, do you?”She looked at me.“She belongs to the Order.”My mother moved beside my father.“She belongs to herself.”The woman laughed softly.“That's what you told yourselves for seventeen years.”My blood ran cold.Seventeen years.They had been watching me for that long.I looked around the chamber.“How did you find me?”The woman raised her hand.Every black-robed figure behind her lowered their heads.“The moment you spoke Aurelia's name, the seal broke.”My grandfather stepped forward.“You were never supposed to know that name.”The woman looked at him.“And yet she does.”Her eyes returned to me.“Which means the final memory has awakened.”I shook my head.“What final memory?”She smiled.“The memory of why you were

The laughter continued in the darkness.Soft.Childlike.Almost playful.But there was something terribly wrong about it.My fingers tightened around the photograph.“Who's there?”No answer.The laughter came again.Closer.The first Amara grabbed my arm.“Don't move.”Victor's voice came from somewhere near the doorway.“Everyone stay together.”A small pair of footsteps echoed across the stone floor.Tap.Tap.Tap.I couldn't see anything, but I knew someone was approaching.Then a child's voice whispered:“Amara.”My heart stopped.The first Amara's grip tightened.“That isn't me.”“I know.”The voice giggled.“Are you sure?”A faint light appeared.A little girl stood in the center of the chamber.She looked exactly like the child in the photograph.Six years old.Same face.Same dark eyes.Same small scar beneath her wrist.I couldn't breathe.The girl smiled at me.“You took so long.”Victor stepped forward.“Who are you?”She ignored him.Her eyes remained fixed on me.“I've b

For several seconds, nobody moved.I couldn't.My mother's words had frozen something inside me.You were the child I was supposed to forget.I stared at her, trying to understand how the woman who had raised me could say something like that without breaking apart.But she was already breaking.Tears streamed silently down her face as she looked at the little girl beside me.“I didn't know what else to do,” she whispered.The little girl didn't answer.“You had already remembered Aurelia,” my mother continued. “You were too young to understand it, but the memories were inside you. Every time they tried to take them away, they came back.”My throat tightened.“And me?”My mother looked at me.“You were created to carry what remained.”The words made my chest ache.“Created?”She nodded slowly.“Not the way you're thinking.”“Then explain it.”My voice shook.“For once, tell me everything.”My mother closed her eyes.“The first girl was born with Aurelia's memory.”She looked at the lit

The thing behind my father smiled.My blood ran cold.It had my face.My eyes.My mouth.Even the small scar beneath my wrist.But it wasn't me.It was too still.Too calm.Too familiar.As though it had spent years studying every part of me.The Order leader turned toward it.“She's finally here.”The creature tilted its head.“Amara.”Hearing my own voice come from its mouth made my stomach twist.Ethan stepped in front of me.“Don't listen to it.”The creature smiled.“You always say that.”Ethan froze.Lena grabbed his arm.“How does it know him?”The Order leader answered.“Because it remembers him.”I looked through the glass at my father.He was still pressing his hand against it.His eyes were fixed on me.He mouthed the same word again.Run.I shook my head.“I'm not leaving him.”The Order leader smiled.“You still don't understand.”She walked toward the glass.“The thing standing beside your father isn't a monster.”My eyes narrowed.“Then what is it?”She looked directly
