81 His Mother

The screaming of the doppelgänger was truly horrendous, and Malachi felt like he was listening to some kind of dreadful sonnet. 

When his eyes fluttered open, the first thing he saw was the beautiful and always cheery Bianca, with a face that was smeared with blood. 

"B..."

On the other side of the cavern, he could see Aisha embedded into the stone wall. 

Not only was she bleeding from her abdomen, but she was also bleeding heavily from her face just like Bianca. 

Although it was very clear that she had endured much worse treatment, as the sight of her was nothing short of heartbreaking. 

Spurred on by the scene of the women he cared about hurt, Malachi buried his knuckles in the dirt as he finally started to push himself up from the ground.

He was only able to lift his head up a few inches away from the dirt before a foot landed on the nape of his neck and brutally forced him back down.
