On the Syracuse, NY. The weather seems bad. Clouds are dark and Murky. The wind brings coldness and resentfulness as if there was a bad omen is about to happen.
An unknown place where the old Facility is located that looks nice before looks like a hunted house now where the extracted organ of humans are piled while covered with a cold atmosphere.
Teagan woke up after hearing such footsteps coming inside the room. Her eyes are vague and both her arms and limbs are tied up with a thick metal rope that caused her wrist to have a contusion. She recalled that her stepsister Disha confined her there three years ago when she became paralyzed after becoming her toy for the experiment.
Disha walked beside Teagan's cot as she crossed her arm glaring at her with disgrace. "Are you having fun this past few days my dear sister?" She asked as her voice brought abhorrence. She looked at the untouched moldy foods beside Teagan and left a chuckle after picking them up.
"Are you disgusted with the foods I brought you, sis? Sadly, you're more disgusting than this!" She chortled evilly as she throws the food at her.
She was so sick of the torture of her stepmother and stepsister. Starting when her father takes his mistress; she doesn't know how happiness feels like anymore.
Teagan shows no emotion after what she did. She feels irritated after seeing that Teagan is so boring for not retorting her behavior. She stands straight, and disgust was written on her face. Disha discussed with her about the Kernicterus Virus Teagan having right now. Being infected with it will not only make a person suffer unbearable pain every day but also they will never last in one month. “You are lucky for being immune to viruses my dear sister!" She proclaimed with a devilish smile.
She makes her face close to Teagan as she provokes her for being a good experimental subject in her research.
Teagan just closed her eyes, not letting herself get emotional and take Disha's words to heart.
Her body was filled with strange hoses that are plugged and connected into her organs. She was pale like paper and her eyes show no interest in her surroundings.
"What do you think my dear sister? Did it feel nice living as a vegetable for the past three years?" Disha asked ironically, grabbing the injection on the box from her coat's pocket.
Her expression remains the same. Disha places her hand on the injection, as she walked closer to her. "Sister, you persisted until now for the sake of this antitoxin serum, right? You should be overjoyed that you will be the first one to taste it." She uttered.
Teagan's eyes widened after hearing the word antitoxin serum. What? It's been three years. Did she finally manage to create the serum? Impossible!
"Even now, the other researchers think about how hard you must have had it for the past three years. Just look, we prepared an antitoxin serum for you right after it was created. You will definitely be cured after an injection." She said with a serious tone. "Sister, you like this don't you? You are very weak right now, if I inject this to you, your former enthusiastic self will be back." She grinned dimly.
Teagan frowned, gritting her teeth as her brows creased. I want it! She has been craving a cure for years. Disha injected her the K-Virus before but she didn't die instead she experienced agonies worst than death. She has been suffering painful sudden attacks all over her body and it feels like she was pierced with countless needles in every layer of her skin.
Teagan has been enduring those for years. Knowing that Disha is a swindler person, she bit her lips restraining herself to get fooled.
She grabbed the bedding hardly as she closed her eyes again. She acted calm and stated, "You are the one who infected me with the K-Virus and now you are dangling the antitoxin serum in front of me? How ridiculous!" Teagan sneered. I hate you, Disha Yu! If I die, I will chase you even I'm a ghost until it's your turn to experience what I've experienced! Teagan's eyes remained close.
Disha chortled proudly. "Sister, I know you don't want to die. How about we make a deal?" She remarked as she places the injection's body against her jaw.
Teagan just looked at her without an expression. She knows that if it is about deals that came from Disha, it brings no fortune but sorrow. "What?" She asked curtly.
She smirks as she walked towards the chair next to her. "How about this, as long as you tell me the passcode to your personal research laboratory, I'll give you the antitoxin serum and send you abroad. How about it?" Disha asked confidently.
Teagan went berserk as she exclaimed belligerently. "Don't make me laugh, Disha Yu! This is the first time I learn about that there's a person who could actually be so shameless! Not only did you take my entire life, now you want to fool me into giving up my final bit of value? Don't even dream about it!"
Teagan's important researched results were hidden in her laboratory. It was a gift from her grandparents who just died five years ago.
"You're not willing? How can anything be so important than your life? Didn't you persist until now for this?" Disha asked arrogantly showing her the serum inside the syringe.
"Besides, you probably don't know this yet, young master Gavin Eadburg got engaged today with his childhood friend, Vivian Hua! Back then she and I teamed up and secretly plotted many things against you." She calmly stated like it was nothing to her but a game Teagan deserved.
Teagan shivered because of disbelief. "N-No way!" Gavin Eadburg, W-Why? Was it really that wrong for me to love you? Teagan burst out into tears. She knows long ago that Gavin doesn't love her.
Ever since she was a child, Vivian, Gavin and Teagan are friends. She developed romantic feelings towards Gavin but after some reason, he distances himself from her. They were engaged since birth by their parents but Gavin didn't want it and he started to hate Teagan for an unknown reason. Vivian is kind towards her and Teagan treats her as her friend as well. But she didn't realize that it was all a part of Vivian's plan to ruin Teagan's reputation.
"Have you thought about it now? Don't you want to live and take your revenge? Hurry and tell me the passcode to your laboratory-" Disha's words were cut by Teagan.
"Just inject me, you liar!" She declared. Tears rolled out in Teagan's cheeks as she added. "I know that syringe contains poison, if you want me to die, inject it now!"
Disha became furious. "Teagan Yu, stop spouting rubbish! This is an antitoxin serum!" She roared.
Teagan left a smirk as she looked with a daggered glare towards Disha. "Disha, you are my younger sister. Do you think I don't understand you? Do you think I can't see your schemes? Base on your attitude and how you treat me before, there's no way for you to make me have a good life outside the country and prepare for my revenge on y'all."
She looked at Disha with disappointment as she added. "Don't forget that you only obtained your reputation and accomplishments because of me! As long as I'm alive, I'm your greatest threat!" Teagan squealed.
Disha became extremely furious. She slammed all the things besides her because of anger. "Shut up!" She yelled pointing at Teagan with her index finger. "Teagan Yu, a useless piece of trash like you dare to talk back at me? I'm the heir of the Yu Family now! You think I can't live without you? Since you want so much to die," She walked closer towards Teagan.
"Then Die!" She whooped as she injects Teagan with the poison inside the syringe.
Teagan screamed because of pain that feels like thousands of swords pierced her flesh and soul.
Disha laughed evilly. "Nobody can possibly expose me once you're dead!"
Tears escaped from the corner of her eyes. Teagan can feel her breath is slowly fading as her heartbeat is infrequently beating and her body feels numb. If I can live again, I definitely won't live for nothing anymore! I'm going to make everyone who wronged me pay the price. I'll make them all experience ten times of what suffering I've experienced!
Lightning and thunder clamored on the sky reason for her to wake up. Teagan rubbed her eyes to brighten her hazy vision when the image of a familiar room appeared in her sight. "Ahh! Didn't I die?" She grumbled. Her face looked flushed and uncomfortable.
She moved her body and feet as she looked at it with disbelief. I can move? I can actually move! Haven't I have been paralyzed for the past three years?
She looked at her palms as she saw the green ring in her thumb. "This ring..." Recalling who gave it to her, she was surprised. It's the gift that the Eadburg Family gave me as a symbol of engagement? Wasn't this stolen from me on the day of My 22nd birthday? She feels puzzled.
A laugh of a familiar man vibrated in her ear from the outside talking about how he was smitten by a drunk woman with a glass of liquor.
His companion replied. "It's your fault for being so hasty! She has already been drunk, so all you have to do is wait, you know?" He laughed.
This situation is kind of Familiar. "Drunk? A luxurious Mansion? And my ring..." Wait, what! Did I just reborn back into my past self after my death? before all the horrible things happened to me? I returned to that nightmarish evening when I was 18 years old! God damn it!
