The Ancients World

Chapter 478 Backfire



~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Watching Front door of Cera's Apartment, Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:34 AM)~~~

"Why haven't they gotten up yet... I've been waiting here for an hour... It's not normal for Cera to sleep in this late... But given that it's not late, I shouldn't really be talking..."

It's not even 8 AM, yet, so I can't be saying they should be up. 

In the next second, I see the door open, and a smile spreads across my face. But it disappears seeing who's stepping out first.

"Uh-oh."

I watch Sally step into the magical traps and get sucked in. Cera burst out the front door and places his hands on the ground trying to find out what happened. I don't know if he knows how the magic traps work. 

My instincts take over, and I stand up from my hiding spot, and I run over. Cera looks up at me in confusion, and normally I'd take that look as a victory. But not after seeing Sally fall into the prank trap instead of Cera.

"What the hell are you doing here!? Do you have something to do with this!? I swear, if you're the one behind this, Hailey. There will be hell to pay."

He immediately stands up and moves in front of me. Angrier than I've ever seen him at me. I deserve it in this instance. It was my fault this happened to her. 

"It's a prank trap... I made it to get back at you for all that crap you pulled on me with information about my tier-up quest... Sally wasn't supposed to be the one that got caught in all this..."

All that I get in response is a really long sigh and him turning to look back down at the ground at the magic seal.

"What's supposed to happen inside the trap?"

He doesn't sound like he wants to kill me, but I'm on thin ice, I can tell.

"Well, it depends on the person... It shows your greatest fear happening to you... I never even considered that Sally would be the one falling into the trap..."

Sally's worst fear is clear... Being stuck in the same life, she had when she was younger...

​ "You have no idea what you've done. She'll see things she was hoping to never see again. And if she comes out any different from before. You'll pay for it, Hailey. I don't care if you're my sister. There are certain lines you don't cross."

~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Experiencing Prank Trap, Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:42 AM)~~~

The world has gone dark, and I don't know where I am. It all happened too fast. I hear a weird noise coming from my left, and as I turn, I see a door. I start walking toward it with no control over my body, and the closer I get the louder the sound gets. 

I hear the voice of a woman, and she sounds like she's in the middle of something that many adults experience. My hand opens the door without my control, and what fills my eyes breaks me to my core.

It's Cera and another woman... Someone far more beautiful and better than me... Undamaged and unused... I can just tell by looking at them. I watch as he presses down on her, and she lets out cries of pleasure from the action. Her toes curl as he goes all the way in, and as he slowly pulls out. Strings of liquid from their hips and privates colliding pull apart.

<br/>No matter how hard I try, my body won't move, and my mouth won't open. My mind is telling me to scream and force them apart... But all I can do is stand here and watch...

Cera takes my attention away, and from the look on him, he's feeling more pleasure with this woman than me... All I can do is hope this is all a bad nightmare. I don't know what's going on, but I want out.

I want out...

I want out.

I want out! 

I WANT OUT!!!

Before I know it, my eyes are opening, and I see up into the clouds above me. Cera fills my vision and smiles down at me. 

"Hey... Are you okay?"

I shove him away from me and stand up abruptly. He looks to his left, and to my surprise, I see Hailey standing there. She looks sad and is avoiding eye contact with me.

"I'm sorry about all this, Sally... Cera was the one meant to fall into the Prank trap... I feel terrible for making you watch your worst fear... That was meant for Cera... Not you..."

Oh...

Oh, thank God that was all just some stupid illusion. I find myself in the arms of Cera the moment I hear that... Knowing that it's all fake makes what I saw far less painful...

"Why would you do that to anyone, Hailey... Even more, your ow brother... You're sick... I had to watch Cera fuck another woman in front of me, and I couldn't do anything about it..."

She looks up in surprise, and I find myself even angrier at her lack of concern for what I just said. She sees my reaction and looks down at the ground again. I don't know what possessed her to do anything like this, but I don't see how she can have any good a reason for something like this.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Outside Apartment, Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:45 AM)~~~

She was trapped in that damn thing for more than an hour, but I'm glad she's safe now. I don't know how I'm going to deal with Hailey, but she can wait. Sally finally pulls away from me and looks up at me in the eyes.

"What I saw you doing with that girl... It made me want to die right there on the spot... I'm glad that it was just some magic trick, but I didn't know how much that would hurt me until I actually saw it..."

I didn't think her biggest fear would be her seeing me with another woman... In a way, I'm grateful that's what she saw, compared to the alternative that was possible...

"Don't worry... You're out of that place now and back in the real world... Believe me, I'm going to be having serious issues with Hailey for a while..."

Hailey hasn't said much of anything, but I can see that after seeing the effects on Sally. She knows she was wrong.

"I want to speak with her first."

I can't even think of saying anything before Sally walks away from me and stands in front of Hailey. And slapping her across the face. Hailey doesn't budge and just takes it. The power difference between the two doesn't allow for much damage to be dealt.

"I've lost all respect for you, Hailey! I don't know if you were even capable of such things to the people that care and love you! I don't want you to think we'll ever be close or ever friends after this... You've burned your bridge with me..."

I don't blame Sally for saying that or meaning it. But unfortunately, I can't react the same way. No matter how much I want to.

~~~(POV: Marcus Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Traveling to the Nest of The Basilisk, Kingdom of Morvis)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:03 AM)~~~

"I've made a lot of ground, little egg... But we've still got a long way to go..."

Filling the time by talking and filling the egg with mana seems like the best thing to do right now... Since there isn't anything else on this back road into nowhere. But I shouldn't be the one to complain. I'm getting a pet Phoenix in 13 days.
