The small underground room was dimly lit, shadows trembling along the cracked walls.
Selene stood near the door, her posture sharp, cold, and commanding , the way the Circles Gang had shaped her. 💥
In the middle of the room, Feriha's little sister sat on a wooden stool, her bare feet dangling, hugging a teddy bear toy Selene had given her.
Her innocent eyes flickered with fear and confusion as Selene stepped closer.
"Listen to me," Selene said softly, though her voice carried a dangerous edge. "Those three people… the girl with dark hair, the tall man, and the one with the scar"
"Them?" The girl blinked, tilting her head. There was no recognition. The memories of Feriha, Ravihan, or Eric were long erased, replaced with carefully crafted lies. 😐
Selene knelt in front of her, lifting the girl's chin with a cold finger.
"They are bad people. They want to hurt you. They want to take you away from me."
The girl trembled.
"Take me away?" 😲
"Yes," Selene whispered. "And if they come near you, you must follow my orders."
She leaned closer, her voice chilling.
"You destroy them. Do you understand?"
The child's breath shook.
"H-How do I destroy them?" 😔
Selene smiled ; a smile that shouldn't belong on a fifteen‑year‑old face.
"You don't need strength. You just need to obey."
She placed a small silver device into the girl's tiny hand. 💣
"This. Hide it under the table when they're close. After that… it will take care of everything."
The little girl stared at the object, confused, scared.
"But… will you be with me?" 🤗
Selene pulled her into a tight, possessive hug.
"I'm always with you. You're my sister now. You listen to me, okay?"
The child nodded slowly, desperate for approval, for affection; even the twisted kind Selene offered. 🙃
Selene stood up, her eyes icy.
"We finish them before they separate you from me. Before they teach you things I don't want you to remember."
The girl held the device tightly.
"Yes, Selene… I will do what you say." 👍
Selene smoothed the girl's hair, then turned, whispering to herself:
"Before they ruin everything." 🚩
