Chapter 2

~SOPHIA'S POV~

My eyes fluttered open and a blinding darkness met my tired orbs. I don't know if I made it to the big party in the sky or if I was down below because the air around me didn't feel supernatural, it didn't feel like anything. I didn't feel anything. No sadness, no pain, nothing.  My eyes grew accustomed to the darkness, I found that I was in a room; the same room where James and I had our wedding night.

I walked towards the light switch and flipped it on. The room flooded with blinding light and the darkness was chased away.

Red rose petals decorated the bed and the floor while balloons adorned the walls and gentle music played in the background. The perfect mood for lovemaking had been set.

A single tear fell from my eye as I got up from the bed and walked round this accursed room.

This is where it all began, where I and James made love for the first time. But what the hell am I doing here?

And then it hit me.

Is this what it means to be in hell? To be tortured both mentally and physically by your darkest and most terrifying fears? To be constantly reminded of your vices and the pain you may have suffered on earth?

Is this how I'm going to spend all of eternity? Wishing that I hadn't made the grave mistake of trusting James with my heart? Wishing that I could go back and right the wrongs I had made? And trying to fight this dreadful nightmare till I lose my sanity?

"Will you stop the dramatics already?"

I jumped out of my skin at the sound of that disembodied voice and turned my head frantically to find the source. But it was nowhere on site, it almost seemed as though it didn't exist.

"I do exist."

I looked around again to find where that voice was coming from but I still came out empty-handed. Fear crept up my spine and my heart pounded in my chest.

What is going on? Have the demons of hell finally come out to play?

"I am not a demon and you aren't in hell. Hell, you aren't even dead."

The fear I felt was replaced with confusion and I couldn't understand half of what this voice was saying.

"Hello…stranger. Are you there?"

"Yes, I am here and you don't have to shout, you can just talk in your mind. And my name isn't a stranger, it's Daisy."

I felt stupid for talking to a voice that could very well be an auditory hallucination and…

"You are really getting on my nerves, Sophia."

I scoffed at the audacity of this demon…hallucination…thingy, ugh, what is this thing anyway? And how did it know my name?

" I'm not a demon hallucination thingy, I'm a wolf,  your wolf to be exact."

My inner grumbles fell to their deaths at the back of my mind when I heard what that dem…Daisy said.

Wolf? I have a wolf? So does that make me a werewolf? Just like James?

"There must be some kind of mistake. I am a pure ordinary human."

"Correction,  you were an ordinary human, now you are a newly turned she wolf."

My confused brain just got more confused as it tried to decode all this complicated stuff on its own.

"What do you mean I was human?"

She sighed and I could almost see it's eye roll.

"Remember when James beat you up with a crowbar?"

I nodded my head, my body shivering involuntarily as the gruesome image played in my head.

"And can you remember the last words you said?"

I tried to conjure up the image in my head but just as a scene flashed in my head, the door cracked open and the person on the other side made by blood ran cold.

James.

James walked into the room with confidence still wearing the suit he wore on our wedding day and a charming smile plastered on his lips.

"Look at my beautiful wife…" He said before walking towards me and held my hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles.

"...how are you, Mrs. Anderson?"

My heart clinged in pain from the endearment he called me. He let go of my hand but before it fell to my side, my head was flooded with memories, memories from the day I lost everything.

~FLASHBACK~

I lay on the floor in my own pool of blood for what felt like eternity but could have only been an hour, praying for a miracle to happen.

But it wouldn't. Because people like me don't receive miracles.

I was alone, I could feel from how looming the house felt and from how quiet it was, so quiet that I could hear the sounds of my heart slipping away.

I don't know where I got the strength to wake up a second time but all I know was that as long as I have it, I'm going to use it. Till my last breath.

"Mo…moon goddess…I don't know if you can…hear me…I don't even know if you're real. All I know is that you are the only one I can do in my time of grief…"

All I heard was a deafening silence, a silence loud enough to weaken the egos of powerful men.

Good thing I'm not a man.

"...So I ask you of one…thing and one thing alone, dear goddess…make my husband and his mistress pay for their mistake…"

My heart would stop in just a matter of seconds, meaning that it might not survive more than three beats, but that time is more than enough for me.

"...make them suffer…"

Lub.

"...make them bleed…"

Lub.

"...and make them die!"

Lub. And my heart stopped.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

My hand fell to my side and my once saddened heart filled with anger and hatred towards the man in front of me who still had a smile on his face.

"Now do you understand?"

"Yes, yes I do."

"The moon goddess heard your plea but instead of fighting you battle for you, she sent you back five years into the past so you can right your wrongs yourself and she sent me here to help you."

Before I could show my appreciation,  I was silenced once more by Daisy's domineering tone.

"But I must warn that vengeance isn't just an act, it's determination,  it's focus and it's a sacrifice of self…"

This time I was the one who silenced her as I held my head up high and spoke to her.

"I know what you want to ask me and yes, I am ready…"

He held my hand once more and dragged me to the bed with a look of mischief in his eyes.

"Come my love. Let me show you just how much I love you."

…Ready to make James Anderson pay for all he's done.
