The person spoke in a chilling voice, "You have to be punished for what you have done."
Veronica saw the person coming toward her. She was going to shout, "Wha-"
After that, everything turned dark. Veronica lost consciousness.
When she woke up, her body was hurting quite badly all over. She flinched. She recalled what happened before she lost consciousness. She didn't know how long it had been since she had fainted.
'Why does my body hurt so much? It's like I've been beaten up all over,' she wondered. She shuddered as her body was shaking badly in pain.
'I have to get up and look for a healer immediately. That person must be trying to kill me. But why?' she was saddened thinking of that person's face twisted in hatred. It was clearly directed toward her. 'There is no point in thinking that. After I'm healed, I will confront that person.'
