Elliot was entirely consumed by the madness of his desires, his thoughts fixated on one thing-making Suzy his.
"Elliot, calm down," Suzy said firmly, struggling to free herself from his grip.
"Look at me. Listen to me. You need to calm down!"
"I can't calm down!" Elliot cried, holding her tightly again.
"I want you. | only want you! Mentor, I'm begging you, give yourself to me. | don't want to be your apprentice
anymore. | want to be your man."
As he spoke, his hands becincreasingly aggressive, his behavior mirroring that of a desperate man with no
control over himself.
Slap!
Suzy raised her hand and struck him across the face.
"Elliot Hayes, I've told you before | am your mentor. Once a mentor, always a mentor. Our relationship will never
change. Snap out of it!"
The sharp slap stunned Elliot, briefly pulling him back to his senses. His face twisted with pain and remorse as he
looked at her.
"Mentor... |... I'm sorry. | don't want to be like this, but | can't control myself. | feel so terrible, so unbearably

"I know," Suzy said gently, her tone softening as she tried to console him.
"No matter how bad it feels, you have to hold on. Once we're out of here, I'll find a way to help you detox. Just
trust me, okay? Be strong."
"I want to listen to you," Elliot said weakly, his voice trembling.
"But it's getting worse. I'm burning up... I'm so thirsty..."
Before Suzy could respond, the mocking voice rang out again.
"Suzy, can't you hear him? The poor boy is thirsty, hot, and in agony. As his mentor, are you really going to stand
there and watch him suffer? Just give him what he needs-just this once!
"After all, it's just the two of you here. Whatever happens, no one else will ever know. Don't worry, I'll keep it all a
secret. | won't tell a soul, not even Dylan Wright. You have my word."
"Shut up!" Suzy roared, her voice shaking with fury.
Every word was designed to further unhinge Elliot, to push him further over the edge.
He was already teetering on the brink of losing control, and hearing such suggestions only worsened his state.
The more agitated he became, the more the poison in his system intensified.
The voice chuckled, undeterred by
her outburst. "What a temper. I'm just trying to be helpful, Suzy. After all, you know better than anyone what
Scarlet Veil does if lefto untreated.
"You created it, didn't you? You, of all people, know the kind of damage it causes without immediate
intervention..."
The voice continued to push Suzy to her limits. "Didn't you help Dylan Wright so quickly because you knew the
consequences of not acting in time?
"And yet, here you are, hesitating when it's your one and only apprentice, Elliot Hayes. How can you be so
unfair?"
"Shut up!" Suzy barked, glaring toward the source of the voice.
"If I ever find you, I'll return everything you've done toa hundredfold!"
"Heh..." The voice replied with a sneer, utterly unfazed.
"You'll have to findfirst. And letbe honest. You never will. You couldn't even begin to guess my identity."
Suzy's brow furrowed. "So, she isn't Charlotte after all?"
Her methods might mimic Charlotte's, but maybe it was because she knew Charlotte well enough to replicate
her.
"Don't think that by saying this, you'll throwoff," Suzy retorted coldly.

"Oh, I'm sure you have," the voice mocked.

Charlotte, haven't you? Well, letmake one thing clear. I'm not her. Charlotte has been dead for a long time.

didn't you? Multiple times, in fact.
"And let's not forget Claude Harlow. You buried them both with your own hands.
Or have you started doubting even yourself?"
"Whether it's true or not, we both know the answer," Suzy countered, her voice sharp. "You're only trying to
confuse me. No matter how well you disguise yourself, you can't hide the truth. You are Charlotte!"
