“I’m sorry for what I must do to you. But know this. You’ll not suffer anymore. I’ll take those painful memories from you and give you peace,” said a sickly sweet voice. One that Wallace recognized. He’d heard it in Sephira’s memories. “You won’t have to mourn his loss anymore. He was a traitor to the Empire, but we know that you aren’t. We know that you tried to stop him, that none of this is your fault.”

The memory was obscured. It was nebulous as if he were viewing her memories through a long faded milky glass. Everything was distorted and strange, but Wallace still knew it to be true.

“No!” Corrine screamed. She began thrashing, but the tight leather restraints bit into the skin of her wrists and ankles, causing little rivulets of blood to trickle out. “No! You already took him from me once! You will not take the little I have left of him!” she screamed as a hand reached for her forehead.

Corrine’s screams were gut-wrenching. Wallace had seen enough people killed, and enough monstrosities to know pure terror when he heard it, and Corrine’s screams were filled with that terror.

It was as if her soul were being ripped from her body. Wallace fought back a feeling of nausea and continued to watch the memories unfolding in front of his eyes.

“He hurt you deeply. He wasn’t worthy of your love. Look at how he left you! He had a good life with you but he threw it away. He couldn’t be content with his loving family. What kind of man would do that to his loved ones?” Corrine thrashed as the words bit into her nearly as deep as the leather restraints.

“No! He loved me! He loved us! He didn’t abandon us for nothing. You’re proof that his fight wasn’t in vain! It was because of twisted soulless freaks like you that he did what he did!” Corrine hissed, rage seethed from her voice.

The hooded figure didn’t take kindly to her provocation and slapped her hard across the face. Corrine immediately tasted the copper flavor of blood trickling down her mouth and into her throat. She wanted to spit it out, but the hooded freak grabbed her by the chin and held a hand over her mouth.

Corrine bucked in terror. She was going to choke to death on her own blood!

When the man finally let go, she let out a gasping cough that shot flecks of blood everywhere. She wanted to curse the man, but her fear of truly being suffocated the next time she provoked him won out over her anger.

Corrine’s tears flowed freely as she bit back her outrage.

“Now, you will behave, little sow!” the voice sounded twice as warped, for he still retained his sickly sweet tone as he let out a profanity-laden string of insults at Corrine. “I’m going to take your precious husband from you. Both he and your daughter will disappear from your mind,” he laughed. “I was told to be gentle with his extraction, but who am I kidding.
