Chapter 418
?
Under the holographic disy, Phoebe... or rather ''me'', seemed toe alive, standing right there.
She shed us a smile and spoke up. "Dexter... are you gonna marry my mom?"
I nced at Dexter, who, as expected, was also under some sort of spell, moving forward.
In a panic, I clung to Colin, fearing he''d fall under the same spell.
Luckily, Colin seemed immune.
He held me close, whispering, "She called out to Dexter first, definitely a fake. If it were really you, you''d have called my name first."
I rested my head on Colin''s shoulder, exasperated. "Really? Jealousy at a time like this?"
"Ste..."
Robin tried to hold back Ste, but she was determined to move forward.
Reaching the hologram, she raised her hand, trying to touch ''Phoebe Caldwell''.
Choking up, Ste said, "Phoebe, I''m sorry... I should have taken you away sooner."
Suddenly, the floor opened beneath her, and Ste fell through.
A mechanical voice echoed from below.
Everyone could hear it, the screams, then the smell of blood filled the air.
And then.
Where Bran and Ste fell, the floor tiles began to ooze blood.
I gripped Colin''s shirt tightly, my heart racing, my whole body shaking.
It was that feeling again...
That insane, desperate, suffocating feeling.
And I was powerless to do anything.
My chest felt numb yet itchy; I wanted to cry, shout, go mad...
"Colin..." My voice was hoarse, choked; I struggled weakly, desperately trying to stop Dexter.
Colin reached out and grabbed Dexter.
Dexter snapped back to reality, breathing heavily.
It seemed Melody was also under control, moving forward.
Dexter stopped Melody, his voice deep. "Melody! Snap out of it!"
After watching Ste fall, Robin lost it, trying to follow but was brought back to his senses by a punch from Finn.
Annoray on the ground crying, everyone overwhelmed by despair.
What does it feel like to watch someone you care about, a friend, a lover, fall into the abyss, die right before your eyes?

Beneath the hologram, the little girl let out a sinisterugh, as if taunting us. "And you, are cowards."
I clenched my fists, my whole body tense with suppressed shaking, unsure how to express my emotions.
Anger? Pain?
What kind of experience was this?
"She''s dead... She was your best
friend."

It was Ste''s head...
"I''ll kill you!" Robin struggled furiously, held back firmly by Finn.
Annora cried in despair.
Robin went mad.
Finn held onto Robin tightly.
Melody sought refuge in Dexter''s embrace, trembling.
Dexter looked at me with red eyes.
In that moment.
All I could hear was Colin''s heartbeat.
"A monster, she''s just a monster! She''s an emotionless monster!"
My head ached as if it was about to explode.
I fell to my knees, gasping for air.
Echoing in my ears were the usations from children in the past.

"Phoebe... she doesn''t feel anger, fear, or fright; she has no emotions."
"Phoebe, why did you kill the bird?" Damian''s voice was usatory.
"Its wings were broken. A bird with broken wings only faces death in nature. Rather than wait for it to be painfully killed by predators or eaten by insects, I thought, I''d help?t..."
"Phoebe?" Colin called out to me.
My thoughts snapped back to reality; my eyes reddened as I stared at the little girl in the hologram taunting me.
I recognized her, the little girl in the red dress was me, the younger ''Phoebe Caldwell''.
"Phoebe!"
I pushed Colin away, crossed the red line, stepping on the floor tiles, moving towards the center.
Anger?
I seemed to feel it now!
