Chereads / The Price of Divinity / Chapter 46 - Face

Chapter 46 - Face

Leia tries to run away, but in her attempt to push the demon, she feels as if she is pushing a massive stone. Leia feels her chest not moving, and she just decides to give up. She falls on her knees, knowing that she is done for.

Wait. I am sure Luna will save me just before the worst part. Luna is me, so she wouldn't want the worst for me. Leia calms down, and the woman lifts her up. Another woman appears with a surgical bed. The bed is brought by wheels, and there are straps for each of her limbs.

Leia's worst fears start to come true. She fears surgery and people abusing her. Leia is at the end road where there are no ways for her to escape. She can either pray for Luna or take the pain to get stronger for her reality. 

Leia tries to use her powers, but nothing comes out of her body. There was no smell; only her fear started to consume the room. Another surgical bed will get rolled over by the same masked woman as the one who rolled over the first one.

Leia gets dragged just a few steps to where the surgeon is; Leia is lifted with one hand by a woman who appears no stronger than a teenage guy. Leia tries to move; however, her body is shocked by every movement she makes. Leia is on the surgical bed. Her inability to scream and inability to move caused Leia to start losing her sanity. 

Her hands and legs are tied by a chain. The demon-faced woman gets on the bed beside her, and the surgeon injects her with something reminding Leia of anesthesia. Leia starts getting worried that she will have her skin ripped apart without anesthesia. 

Zap

AHHHH!! GET AWAY!!! HELP!! Leia feels herself consumed with the emotions of the original being in this body. Their fear, their life, all are going to be ripped away from her, leaving Leia to endure this mental suffering combined with the excruciating pain. 

Leia sees the surgeon start marking her face to create a transfusion with little scarring of the tissue and make it appear that the demon has had that face forever. The surgeon also did the marks on the demon. He then carefully starts cutting the face from the back to the ears to the neck. 

The cut was relatively fast; the skin was very imperfect, with many wrong cuts leaving her already terrifying face more atrocious. The main part was leaving enough skin to stitch back with the new face. All of her blood vessels, muscles, and bones were left intact.

Leia, half herself and half another person is fighting her own battle not to lose sanity more than she already has. She has calmed down more due to how fast it took, but she is still afraid of the pain. On the other hand, the original consciousness is dying of fear. Her cries for help engulf Leia's mind, leaving her unable to continue to process information with some clarity.

The surgeon gets over to Leia, who is paralyzed; she can't even move a single muscle on her face but still feels the entire marking. The surgeon starts making a small cut on the back of her ears. The pain starts making Leia's mind go into overdrive. The more the surgeon cuts, the stronger the pain fears. Leia tries to run away from the intense pain, yet her body can't move.

Leia's mind starts hallucinating, going into shock, and rifting in and out of consciousness. The surgeon is taking his sweet time cutting Leia's face. Leia's mind goes insane by the pain. She feels that she will truly die; her mind can't think of anything but ways to make the pain end. 

At the halfway point of her face, the surgeon starts to cut her blood vessels, aiming especially for the nerves. Leia screams and cries; the inside of her mind wants to end itself to stop; she is at her lowest. The screams stop, leaving only herself to support the pain. Leia passes out.

Did I die? Finally, the pain has stopped. Fuck everything; it has all ended. Why did I have to suffer so much for some dumb power that I didn't even achieve? Now I can peacefully evade the police and the pain. But why do I feel like someone is looking at me directly? If it's that bitch Luna on everything, I will kill everyone that even dares to touch me.

"Fun is in it? I know I went a little too far, but who cares if you survive? And now you are going to get stronger. Also, you surprised me; I didn't remember being that strong-minded that early in life. Or is it you, the strong one? I don't know or care." Luna's voice pierces Leia's ears.

Leia, with every bone in her body, opens her eyes to find herself lying down on the floor, only to see a face that she hates with her entire being. "Luna I promise you I will kill you!!! You made me suffer so much pain only because you went a little far!!!" Leia stands up screaming at Luna.

Luna can only give a small smile; her face becomes more and more sadistic as Leia looks at it. "Leia, don't be mad; at least you got some very nice abilities to escape. Also, you should be praising me! I made it simpler for you; the real thing is far too complex for you to survive." Luna says, giving a full smile at Leia, increasing Leia's anger.

"Luna, I hate you so much. I know you know that, but why is all of the pain and the trauma mostly gone? Also, if this power that you gave me is not completely broken, then I will do everything to kill you no matter if you are a god. I will make everyone become pets." Luna stands up and sits down on her throne, staring directly at Luna.

"There, that is the spirit. I believe in you. Now make me proud and make your goals true, or else I will make you suffer so much worse with an increased level of detail you will feel just by reading it." Luna confidently says, then sends Leia back to escape.
