The Last Embrace 413 Where Am I?

Jessy took a deep breath, it's now time to tell her mother part of the truth so that she will stop pestering her about it. "I saved a vampire in the forest and transformed him into a mortal with my blood. Then he asked me to bring me to his brother's place which turns out to be where Roden's clan was hiding. That friend of mine was also the bat leader's trusted aide, he didn't reveal to me his ident.i.ty, unfortunately, my friend did not tell me that he got bitten by a poisonous snake the day before we come to the cave, so he died after arriving on the cave. That is when I discovered Roden...and the rest is history," she explained.

Sarah looked at her daughter's face. "That's all—?" her brows drew together as if not satisfied with her daughter's explanation.

"That's all, Mother!" Jessy answered. Dang! These lying will surely put her in a difficult situation if she won't be extra careful with her story. Once they will stop asking her about what truly happens in the cave then she will be safe. She was hoping all these questioning will be over so that they can now return to their normal lives.

"Alright, I believe you, daughter. The only thing that is important to me right now is that you are safe and you are back with us," Sarah's tears almost welled up.

"Mom, please don't worry anymore. I always take care of myself. I will make sure nothing bad happens to me because I know you and father will get worried about me," she said.

"Alright, let's continue eating our meal," Sarah said, feeling much better after talking to her daughter.

The two women finished their dinner thirty minutes later.

Sarah proceeds to her office while Jessy went back to the clinic.

...

That night.

Jessy was walking in the hallway going to her room, she just finished her third blood transfusion for the day. It's now time for her two hours break. While she was lying in the clinic bed earlier, she already got a plan on what to do with Jagger.

Roden is right, she can't bring herself to kill his brother. If Jagger succeeded with his evil intention and she loses her memory and learned about it after, she will surely kill the two brothers without mercy. Good thing...Roden is more mature and has a good soul compare to his immature brother.

Yeah, she was torn between wanting to harm Jagger and wanting to forgive him as well, and it was creating chaos in her mind.

She got to rid of the bottle once and for all!

A minute later. Jessy was already inside her room, she placed the bottle inside her backpack and teleported into her favorite beach.

Jessy landed in the white sandy sh.o.r.e. She looked around her, the beach was deserted and beautiful as always. The water was calm, there are not many big waves today.

She opened the zipper of her backpack and picked up the bottle, she dropped the bag in the ground and stared at the bottle in her hands for a few seconds.

She locked eyes with the pitiful Jagger, his mouth was moving as if talking to her, pleading probably.

Jagger's ident.i.ty should be put to death from now on.

With one last look at Jagger, Jessy throws the bottle into the ocean as far as she could, it landed into the calm water with a little splash. The bottle's surface glistened under the bright light of the moon in the sky, it landed more or less fifty meters away from the sh.o.r.e.

From a distance, Jessy stared at the bottle floating in the water.

She was in that position for a few minutes. If somebody picks up the bottle and open the lid or smash the bottle, Jagger will automatically die. If she can't bring herself to kill him then she will let others do the honor. Others might think Jagger is a Genie In the Bottle, she no longer cares.

She picked up her backpack from the ground.

Goodbye Jagger! Jessy said and initiated the teleportation process in her mind back into her room in the Facility.

She landed inside her room, she climbs into her bed and closed her eyes wanting to have a few minutes of nap time.

...

Back on the beach.

Jagger was still reeling from the shock and despair after Jessy throws the bottle far into the ocean.

He was trembling in horror the moment she did it! The bottle was now floating in the water, surrounded by the gentle waves.

He released a deep sigh thinking he was going to die any minute from now if somebody will pick up the bottle and open the lid or smash the bottle, he will be gone for good.

While lying inside the bottle in a somber mood, Jagger began crying like a child. He was going to die soon, and it's all because of his foolishness!

Everything he does in his life was a failure!

He was a total failure!

How his life ended this way?

He can never hate or blame Jessy. She has been good to him all the time. He can never repay her kindness for saving his life enabling him to see his brother again.

His brother Roden must have confided to her that he was planning to erase her memory that's why she decided that it's better to kill him.

Earlier, when she stared at him before she throws the bottle into the water, he saw no pity in her eyes.

This is it, his lonely, meaningless end!

What a shame!

He was looking around him, thinking if there's a shark nearby and will accidentally swallow the bottle that would be his end.

Thank goodness...he can see the murky bottomless ocean floor...but there's no shark around. Well, it's dark below and he can't see anything down on the seafloor.

He looked up at the sky, the moon is s.h.i.+ning brightly flanked by millions of stars above.

He released a deep sigh repeatedly. There is nothing left to do but wait what's gonna happen to him while floating in the vast ocean.

Worse come to worst, this ocean will become his burial ground.

He closed his eyes for a moment as tears flooded his eyes again. Then all of a sudden he heard the bottle was being tossed by big waves from all directions, he opened his eyes to see a big shark coming his way, its big mouth was opening wide looking at his meal...d.a.m.n!...the shark was only a few meters away from him.

"Nooooooooo! helpppppppp!" Jagger screamed as the big jaw of the shark was coming in closer until it suddenly stops a few inches from the bottle...what happened!?

Then out of nowhere, Jagger saw a hand picking up the bottle, blocking his vision, then total darkness enveloped him.

"Where am I?" Jagger shouted.
