A Tale of Chase and Love s1

She is in a great dilemma, and no one is there to help her.

She sadly packed up the clothes she brought and was about to leave when Ren suddenly reappeared.

Deep inside she was happy that he came back but on the surface, she pretended to be angry.

“Ren, why did you leave without my permission,” she asked.

“Err—to get a disguise spell that’s perfect for you” he replied

Hearing this, Theresa calmed down.

“So where’s it?” she asked.

Ren did not reply.

“Come on Ren” she urged.

She needed a good disguise, and if anyone could help her, it was Ren.

“Fine, the disguise I will give you on one condition,” said Ren.

“Ok! State it,”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I want you to dissolve the contract.”

Theresa was unhappy.

“Dissolve what?” Theresa asked.

“Mistress it seems your ears are going bad. Dissolve the contract. I’m not ready to be a contracted pet. You very well know it was by accident” said Ren.

“So what? The thing is, I will not dissolve the contract.”Theresa said firmly.

“You forced me,”

In a second Ren had disappeared from where he was and appeared very close in front of her placing a sharp long sword placed at her neck.

“Mistress or whatever you are, I want you to dissolve this evil contract or else your little head won’t stay intact.”Ren threatened.

“Then do it. Do it,” said Theresa shouted.

She then brought the sword closer to her neck.

“You have no fear. Do you know who I am? Do you think you can control me with your thoughts? I have severed that connection so you can’t control me anymore. Isn’t it better for you then to dissolve the contract?” said Ren in a low yet firm voice.

“I-I-Ren, you are all I’ve got here. Truly I’m not evil. I don’t know why I became like this but you must trust me. I just have a desire to tame you. You are arrogant and view human lives as nothing. I know in contrast to others who made sacrifices to come to your lair I did nothing but Ren I have sacrificed so much. I don’t have my parents, my Lovina, my best friend and I can’t see Kim Tae Hyung anymore, What then do you want me to do? You’re the only one I can talk to–” she tried to explain her eyes flooding with tears but Long Ren cut her off.

“You are unworthy Lady.”

“Then kill me. The other passengers died so why not me? My parents are mourning me when I’m still alive. Do you know how helpless I am? I am alive but I can’t reach them ever. I can’t even summon anything. Ren, please, just take my life. That way I’ll be even with those deceased ones.”Theresa said a tear escaping her eyes.

This sight would make any man commoner or royalty to do as she bids but Ren was way too preoccupied with thoughts of how to dissolve the contract.

He had a lot of plans and he would not abandon them because of her- a very unworthy woman.

Theresa closed her eyes and the image of her parents, best friend, her doll, and her beloved idol.

“I hope you will leave well my dear parents,” she muttered inaudibly.

Ren saw she was still determined and hissed.

He slowly sliced the flesh at her wrist and bit harshly on the bleeding part without sucking the blood.

After a while, he removed his mouth and wiped his lips with a white handkerchief.

Theresa showed no sign of suffering.

To her, this was nothing. When she came yesterday, she experienced pain worse than this and survived.

In no time, a red light left her body and entered Ren’s body.

This was it!

The contract was finally severed.

Now she has nothing except the pearls she stole from him.

She finally opened her eyes and looked at him.

She saw he had an amused expression.

“Why is he laughing at me?” she thought.

“Mistress, go look at the mirror again,” he said.

Theresa obeyed slowly walking towards the mirror, head bowed.

When she finally mustered the courage to look at the mirror, she nearly screamed.

Looking back at her was a lady who you could say had no hips to boast of, flat-chested and not even pretty though she couldn’t be said to be ugly, this face was average. Way too average!

She looked back at Ren who had begun to laugh.

Now Ren looked much more handsome than before.

She immediately guessed what he did.

He never broke the contract nor wanted her life.

However, he transferred her beauty to himself and gave her a face and body that a peasant would not wish for.

Just look at her hair, now short and having some white strands.

To make things worse she was now thin so thin that she wondered how she was still alive.

If her parents saw her like this they’d bury Ren alive, that is if they could catch him.

The clothes she wore were now loose on her body.

Before it couldn’t even reach her ankles but now, it has turned into a very long gown.

She looked so miserable.

She glared at Ren.

How dare he destroy her precious pride like this and he dare to laugh at her-his mistress?

“I’ll kill you” she yelled and rushed towards him but he disappeared and reappeared behind her with a smile.

It seems like the days in the future will be fun. Much fun.

So what if he has to cry pearls? She is in a much worse condition than he is.

Revenge is sure sweet.
