Project Doomsday Paradise

Amelia was totally overwhelmed after consuming the first crystal horn.

Her body reacted violently towards it, she felt like all of her strength was s.u.c.k.e.d away.

She felt like her entire being carved for more, forcing her to weakly consume one horn after another to fulfill the need of her body.

Amelia could clearly sense and feel how her body was quickly changing...

She kept consuming the horns but her weak and shriveled body made it difficult for her to move.

Her illusions couldn't help her at this time...

Unimaginable pain assaulted her body and mind, it was like she was punished for stopping providing the needed fuel...

Pain and disappear could be seen in her eyes, then she saw a brown hand reaching out to her.

She had difficulties looking up, seeing Benji giving her another horn.

The severe pain had clouded her thoughts and she recalled that she wasn't alone...

Delight spread through her mind as Benji fed her personally the horns she desperately needed.

She didn't know how much time passed but she suddenly found herself inside pure darkness.

Amelia looked around but she could only see darkness everywhere.

'Did I blackout?'

She sensed herself slowly drifting through the darkness for what felt like a long time.

Just as she thought that she failed her final evolution and was stuck inside the darkness, a path made of light appeared out of nowhere not far from her.

She moved her body, drifting towards it like a moth drawn to the light.

Amelia finally entered the path made of light, feeling solid ground under her feets after a long time.

She turned around to look back at the darkness but it had vanished. There was only a wall of light behind her...

The light intensified, blinding her and forcing her to close her eyes.

She found herself in an entirely different place when she opened her eyes again.

The path made of light was nowhere to be seen, it was replaced by a hallway, a normal one inside a building...

Amelia was confused, looking around in wonder. She didn't know what was going on and she decided to walk through the hallway.

She didn't know what was going on, her thoughts were slow and twisted...

Amelia arrived in front of a door made of wood with a silver doorknob that she turned to open the door...

She felt like she entered another reality after stepping through the door. She found herself in yet another room. It looked strangely familiar to her...

She saw that the door behind her had disappeared too, she was stuck now inside the room.

"Mommy, I want to hear the story about the Shy Princess." A childish voice drew her attention.

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw a m.a.t.u.r.e woman with raven black hair lying on the bed with a little girl by her side. Both looked happy and the m.a.t.u.r.e woman smiled lovely at the girl, she took a book and began to read slowly the story of the Shy Princess.

Amelia couldn't hold back her tears, she realized instantly who those two were.

It was her old self when she was 7 years old and her mother Deborah Volari.

"Mother!" Shouted Amelia as she ran forward to hug her mother.

The millions of shattered pieces started to magically reform themselves, creating a whole new scenery.

Amelia stood rooted as she saw her younger self standing behind the door to the living room, listening to the quarrel between her mother and her father...

She didn't remember that night clearly anymore but walked behind her younger self listening to them...

"I don't care anymore, Leo! It's the fourth time you cheated on me! I just can't stand it anymore..." Screamed Deborah before sobbing.

"Deb, listen to me, I really love you but I'm a man! I did it to keep things fresh between us, no other woman can satisfy me and you know it. My feelings for you are still the same! To sleep with that woman is just my way to remind myself how precious you are!" Explained her father Leonardo.

Amelia heard her mother sobbing louder...

"Stop it, Leo...I can't, I just can't endure it! Aren't we enough for you?" Sobbed Deb.

"Of course, what nonsense are you asking? You two are my everything!" Answered her father in a righteous tone.

"Then why do keep sleeping with other woman? You know how much it hurts me!" Screamed her mother suddenly.

"Damn Deb, I just told you why, It's just how I am!" Screamed Leonardo back in anger.

There was a moment of silence between the two before her mother talked again.

"I see...It's the way you are...Fine, you can do what you want but without me, find another woman who can live with how you are because I can't Leo! I'm done with you, I will take Amelia with me and go back to my parents and divorce!" Said Deborah before beginning to cry again.

"What did you just say? You wouldn't dare! You are nothing without me, Deborah! You can leave but Amelia will stay with me, she is my flesh and blood!" Shouted her father even louder!

"I have made my decision, I should have listened to my friends and left you after you cheated on me the first time!" Shouted her mother back.

Amelia and her younger self heard suddenly smacking sounds and her mother screaming out in pain.

Her younger self looked scared, blocking her ears with her hands as she ran away upstairs to her room...

Amelia's expression was filled with rage as she touched the door to stop her father from abusing her mother but...

The whole scenery shattered into millions of pieces again, leaving the angered Amelia frustrated.

The pieces reformed themselves into a place she could really good remember...

The whole family was gathered that day as they mourned over her mother's death.

Amelia watched everything from the background without interfering this time.

She watched how the family members and friends gave her and her father their condolences...

Her younger self that was 10 years old was crying while holding a book about science...

That book was the last gift she got from her mother who suddenly died in a car accident...

The sceneries kept changing, showing her different parts of her life.

She kept watching, her thoughts becoming clear as she analyzed the whole thing.

'These are memories of my life...but they aren't real they are mere illusions...' Thought Amelia as she watched her younger self study biology in the university despite being only 15 years old.

The next scene was a major turning point in her life, it was the day she found the truth about her mother's death...

It was one week after she started working on "Project New Life" for her father and the Volari Company.

She got an anonymous mail with evidence showing that her father paid a hitman to kill her mother because she wanted to leave him.

Amelia at that time didn't believe it but it didn't let her go and she let the evidence investigate by professionals that she paid from her private money.

The results were...

The private detective agency managed to track down the hitman who her father hired at that time and got his confession.

She didn't know who sent her that mail but she didn't care, it was then that she began to plan to "Project Doomsday Paradise"

The next scene was her killing her father before taking over the Volari Company which changed quickly into the last months in which the higher-ups began to oppose her.

The last scene was Benji giving her the list with the names of spies.

Everything fell apart and she returned to the endless darkness from the beginning.

Amelia was digesting all she experienced when a woman stepped out from the darkness.

The woman was alluring and beautiful beyond measure.

Amelia froze as she recognized her, it was herself!

She had purple eyes and a black horn in the middle of her forehead, the horn was at least 10 times longer than her own...

Her mysterious self stared directly into her eyes before sighing.

"I have been waiting an eternity for you..."
