Chapter 2 - The Chapter 02

Hello my darlings 😍 and here I am with a new chapter!🎉 I won't lie; this chapter exhausted me 😭 but to support me in the earlier ones, I will continue 😎😻 

Thank you very much, my dears! 😍😘 

Story: Should I fight my husband or the black tumor? 

Romance, psychological, light action category 

And in the name of God 👍 let's start the second chapter 

The knife was gleaming between Riman's trembling fingers. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she pressed the blade against her left wrist. "My decision is final... I won't turn back..." 

Suddenly... 

"Have you forgotten our vow?" 

She became aware of Fox's voice; the little fox stood on the edge of the window, its golden eyes shining in the darkness. He jumped lightly into the room, his silky tails (he has two tails) swaying under the moonlight. 

"You're foolish!" he shouted with his warm, rough voice. "Press the blade!" 

"Do you mean to hurt myself more? Is this really painful..." 

"Plasma is my food, not blood. It's the source of our strength." 

He leaped into the room like a flying carpet (a clearer metaphor), his tails fluttering. 

"The expressions on your face tell me you're thinking about suicide..." 

"I won't escape from life, no matter how hard it gets. I'll always face it." 

"Let me treat you after absorbing the plasma." 

"Hurry up! This hurts a lot..." 

He began licking her wound with a sharp look: 

"Does it really hurt you? This is plasma, not blood!" 

"It's my hand! Ah..." 

"Have you reached the point of shedding tears?" 

"Don't look at me..." 

She cried because of remembering her mother's words and her failure in what happened to her. She tried to wipe away her tears shyly, but he beat her to it with his tongue. 

"Don't cry, I'm with you. I know you're exhausted." 

She smiled laughingly: 

"If it weren't for you, I would have committed suicide... since that day I saw you when I ran away from home..." 

"I was very tired, I was attacked while I was going out to buy food." 

Inside him: "I heard the harshness of her mother... she's trying to protect me even from her own troubles. Sometimes I suspect they're not her real family!" 

She curled up: 

"Praise be to God for everything." 

"Why are you smiling?" 

He laughed sadly: "You're resisting fiercely! You could have escaped." 

She hugged him laughing: 

"What should I do? They're my family." 

"I've gotten used to pain... but I promise you I won't give up." 

He asked sadly, "Why are your family so cruel since childhood?" 

She sighed deeply. 

Riman noticed her wound had healed as if nothing had happened. "Maybe... I've failed since the beginning..." she whispered tearfully. 

He said eagerly, "Enough! Now, take a bath to relax. I don't want my food to spoil." 

But the calm didn't last. The door burst open violently, and Sarah appeared with fiery eyes like fire: 

"You useless thing!" 

Before she could respond, Sarah pounced on her and grabbed her by the hair, dragging her roughly to the basement: 

"You're neither beautiful nor smart, and on top of that, you're crazy! The world doesn't need trash like you!" 

Each lash of the whip felt like a knife cutting through her soul. Then she heard her mother's voice: 

"Have you disciplined her enough, Sarah?" 

She laughed inwardly: "Even my basic rights have been stolen from me..." 

"My hands are tired, mother." 

"Rest then continue punishing her." 

Khaldoun suddenly appeared: "Leave her alone, she doesn't deserve your trouble." 

His mother replied eagerly, "Alright, dear, I'll comply with your request." 

He looked at her sadly. 

In the room, the fox stared at her: "If you used your power..." 

She answered while wiping the blood from her forehead: "I sacrificed for them all these years... they treated me like a madwoman and I endured it." 

"Let me treat your wounds..." 

She answered with serious eyes: "No, I want to remember these wounds for the rest of my life." 

Then she suddenly smiled as if nothing had happened: 

"Come on, Fox, let's draw with black ink!" 

"As you command, my lady... but your wounds..." 

"Alright, if this calms you down." 

She took the pen (Fox) and started drawing. The random lines turned into a natural landscape reminiscent of her grandmother's house. For the first time in years, she felt a strange sense of peace. 

Inside her: "Soon! All this suffering will end." Her eyes glowed as she bit her lips and bled from them. 

After a while, her father called her: 

"Dad wants you." 

She raised her head to see him standing at the entrance: "Tomorrow, you'll meet your husband." 

She didn't utter a word, as if despair had choked her. 

After he left, Khaldoun sarcastically entered: 

"Are you going to marry an old man? You're more foolish than you think!" 

"I'm tired..." 

"Tired? You're pathetic! Didn't I advise you to run away?" 

"Why did you refuse to help your friend?" 

She answered shyly, "Running away isn't a solution... he's my father after all." 

"Then stay and die! While everyone takes advantage of your kindness." 

She bit her lip, her anger silent: 

"Yes, this isn't love but enslavement." 

"Sometimes family is worse than beasts." 

"You're truly insane! How can you accept this?" 

She went upstairs, remembering her only friend: 'How I wish I were part of your family...' 

The fox whispered, "Why do you refuse to help her?" 

"Because I know... even if the whole world helped me, I'd still be the unwanted daughter." 

"And also, I don't want anyone to know about you, because if they knew, they'd torture you in the worst ways." 

In the morning, as she left in the car, no one bid her farewell. Only Sarah said: 

"This is what you deserve. Take care of your old husband!" with a provoking laugh. 

Even her mother didn't bother to see her off. 

"Take me with you." The fox transformed into a pen. 

She held it with trembling hands: "You're the only one who stood by me..." 

"That's a call from your friend... she's waiting for you there." 

"I know... she was trying to help me. But I must stay away, I don't want to hurt her again." 

And as the car drove away, she felt for the first time that God had answered her prayer. 

But the road ahead wouldn't be easy at all... 

And she didn't know about the monster waiting for her. 

And somewhere else... 

A massive explosion tore through the sky with crimson flames, a cloud of smoke rose like a hungry beast swallowing everything around it, while limbs scattered in space like leaves in a raging storm. The rubble collapsed, the fire roared, and death danced on the ruins of the destroyed city. 

Then... from the heart of that hell, a lone shadow emerged. 

Heavy footsteps echoed over the debris, a tall man with black hair that fluttered like wild night, and golden eyes that glowed faintly with a quiet rage, like those of a tiger on the verge of attack. His clothes were still intact, but his body seemed unscathed, as if he had just stepped out of his house rather than a warzone. 

He glanced around coldly, while the debris settled on the ground like scattered puzzle pieces. He murmured softly, but his words carried a bitter taste of sarcasm and boredom: 

"Annoying... do they value life so little?" 

Then he moved on, leaving behind an indescribable ruin. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 

In the moments before the explosion... 

A thunderous explosion shook the city as if the earth were being torn apart by the fangs of a hidden beast. The disaster rolled out like a wave of chaos: 

- Skyscrapers crumbled like paper castles, turning into glowing dust under the moonlight. 

- Human bodies melted and intertwined like enchanted wax, their bones cracking and reforming into demonic shapes. 

- The cries of terror dissolved into the sound of flesh being distorted, as if the city were bleeding out in groans. 

Amidst this hell, a small child trembled like a fall leaf, searching for his mother among the rubble, unaware that a dark shadow almost consumed him. Suddenly... 

"Whoosh!" 

A shadow appeared, and the child fled in fright. 

A black shadow shot forward like a poisoned arrow! A ghost-like carpet appeared, his black hair fluttering like a death flag, his golden eyes glowing with mysterious light. With one arm holding his black cloak, and the other aiming a strange gun that fired blue lightning bolts. 

"Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!" 

Each shot = a monster's head exploded into blue ash. The scene resembled a mechanical dance of death. 

Nizar suddenly appeared from under the carpet: 

"Brother... are we safe here?" 

Sajjad (in a calm voice like death): "Do you fear the darkness under my cloak?" 

Nizar (shaking): "No... but I fear becoming like them!" 

Sajjad advanced towards the security forces that arrived after he defeated the shadows of the tumors, despite their prior knowledge of the black tumor attack in the area and their failure to save the innocents. 

He threw them a metallic license plate with a strange emblem. His voice was like muffled thunder: 

"Take this... and don't get in my way again!" 

The security forces froze in place, their faces pale. Nizar asked: 

"Did... did you save them?" 

Sajjad (looking at them from afar): "Yes, but only for a few minutes. Let them enjoy the peace of their long slumber now, they will sleep..." 

Suddenly—without warning—the security forces transformed into monsters and exploded! Sajjad muttered to himself: 

"Their fate was sealed the moment they smelled the stench of evil shadows..." 

Then to himself: 

"Our country abandoned these people once they fell into the shadows." 

He shouted angrily: "Cowards! Worthless scum who care only about their own interests!" 

In the back seat of the luxury car, Sajjad patted his brother's shoulder: 

"Avoid straying far from me... Grandfather is waiting for us." 

Parallel scene: Riman on the road 

In another car, Riman gazed out the window at the distant smoke, while her fox, Fox, sat beside her: 

"Fox... is the world returning to normal? I hear people are dying from the black tumor epidemic..." 

The fox answered sadly: "You know the truth about tumors..." 

Riman said optimistically: "Of course they will! Our country will resist the disease... I trust them." 

Then she added: "I'll sleep now, don't disturb me." 

Riman responded: "Alright, dream beautiful dreams." 

Riman whispered as she closed her eyes: "I hope so with all my heart..." 

The driver told them they had arrived at the resort. Riman got out, leaving Fox sleeping in the car, while Sajjad and his brother arrived from the back...
