Chapter 72: Change

    [Reba’s POV]


    ’...’


    ’...’


    ’How long has it been?’


    "Let me out..." Reba weakly said, the white room making her voice echo.


    She did not know how much time had passed, a few years? A decade? Her perception of time had long gone.


    And the notes.. she kept receiving notes from Reinhardt.


    She did not know what his goal was, he mostly asked about how she was doing.


    Reba didn’t even bother reading them past a certain point, immediately ripping them up the moment a note appeared.


    However, today was a bit different, for some reason, she was not able to rip the note apart no matter how hard she tried.


    ’It’s definitely made out of paper’ She examined it and tried ripping it again but was unsessful.


    She sighed and decided to indulge upon his whims, reading the indestructible note.


    -----


    I will be picking you up shortly, get ready.


    -----


    ’Picking me up? Is he finally going to let me out of this ce?’ She thought with a tinge of hope but it was quickly extinguished.


    ’Yeah right... like I would be free after all this time..’


    Over the course of time, her emotions seemed to dissipate, only mirroring who she once was.


    That’s why despite this situation and the hopelessness she ’felt’, her expression never changed even once, it remained nk.


    n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    She stood up and waited, not moving even an inch, she found it fun to remain silent because, past a certain point, she would forget all of her troubles.


    Reba found sce in that,plete silence, as if you do not exist, just viewing the world from an outsider perspective.


    It was calming, it was liberating.


    And the best part? She regained her powers, however, getting out still proved to be impossible.


    She twisted the space around herself making it shatter but even then, it did not lead to anywhere.


    So Reba stopped trying, what was the point anyway?


    Just as she was about to practice her powers again, a deep crack in space appeared, much different from her miniature cracks.


    And out walked a man with golden hair andpletely white eyes, he looked captivating.


    But she knew better than anyone that Reinhardt’s appearance did not mirror his personality.


    He nced at her and put on a small smile "You have grown in these past couple of years, Reba."


    For some reason, the hate she felt all this time, was no longer present, she simply felt.. empty.


    However, one question still remained inside her hollow mind after all this time.


    "How is Michael?"


    Reinhardt did not seem surprised, so he instantly replied "Good, actually, he recently managed to kill one of our lower executives in this world, that’s quite an achievement."


    "I see" Reba nodded and continued staring into his white eyes, unsure of what she wanted to do moving further.


    She guessed that the best course of action was to follow him, was there anything left for her after all this time anyway?


    "Anyways, drink this" He took out a ss from a small gap in space and handed it to her, it was some sort of a red liquid.


    ’Blood?’ She thought with a slightly amused look, was he trying to make her drink blood?


    "It’s not blood if that was what you were thinking" He chuckled and gestured for her to drink up.


    However, she was still skeptical, after all, she remembers hating this man in front of her.


    "Why would I drink this?" She tilted the ss, pouring its contents on the ground.


    But instead of the liquid falling and hitting the ground, it suddenly reappeared back into her ss through a crack in space.


    Reinhardt looked at her with the same small smile, however, she felt like it housed a bit of anger this time.


    "Drink it."


    ’Hm...’ Reba picked up the ss and began drinking it, not seeing any way out of this.


    The red liquid tasted surprisingly good, it was like a perfectly aged wine.


    However, her sight momentarily darkened, causing her to get slightly startled.


    But in just a few moments, she was able to see again, the sight before her causing her previously expressionless face to twitch.


    "What did you do?" She waved her hand through her hair which had now changed colors, it turnedpletely white.


    Reinhardt suddenly made a crack in space and a mirror came out,nding right below her, showcasing her pure white eyes.


    She nced at him with a weary look but was met with a massive crack in space, with him gesturing for her to follow.


    And she did just that, going through the crack, appearing in some sort of a ruined area, with an abnormal looking night sky.


    There were stars, however, they seemed way too close, almost as if she were to reach out for them, she could touch one.


    ncing around she began seeing a multitude of people, some looking the same as her, while the others looked more like Reinhardt.


    The golden hair and white eyes looked creepy yet at the same time captivating, she still could not understand why.


    They walked through the ruins and arrived in front of a being who had been gazing at the stars above, seemingly lost in them.


    But the moment they got closer, he turned to them, his piercing golden eyes and flowing golden hair giving her a sense of familiarity.


    He gazed at her for a mere moment beforending his gaze on Reinhardt.


    "Asmodeus.. Is this it?" He asked with a neutral tone that seemed to contain a tad bit of disappointment.


    ’Reinhardt is Asmodeus?’


    "Well, what did you expect? A candidate like her does not appear very often" Heined while grumbling.


    The man did not linger on the topic, slightly rolling his eyes "I suppose not, I take it you will train her?"


    "Of course."


    ’Just who are these people?’ Reba was confused by what was happening in front of her.


    However, as her thoughts finished, the angelic looking man turned to her, his eyes felt like they were piercing right through her soul.


    "You do not have to worry about who we are, all you need to know is that you are now a part of the Evangelists and will remain as such until you die" He dered with a resolute voice before nodding at Asmodeus.


    He took it as a signal and proceeded to create another crack in space, albeit this one was a lot smaller than his previous one.


    But nheless, he signaled for Reba to go in.


    She refused at first, however, he was not nning on ying around, sending the already opened crack towards her, engulfing her and making her disappear.


    Reba reappeared in some sort of a facility, much like the ones she used to see back in her world, however, the key difference was the surroundings.


    Dried blood was covering the ground, it seemed like it would never wash away.


    But before she couldin at the sight, a door opened in front of her, revealing another white haired, white eyed man, staring at her emotionlessly.


    "Are you the new recruit?" He asked her, impatience was clearly audible in his tone.


    Reba tilted her head and nodded "I guess?"


    And upon those words, was immediately flung by the arm inside of the room, revealing a few more simrly looking people.


    However, the amount of blood nearly made her puke, it was like a fountain, these people were all bleeding from all sorts of wounds.


    The man who pushed her walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder with some metallic item, it was a de.


    She turned around and met his sadistic smile.


    "Wee to the Evangelists."
