“Before I will answer your question, let me ask you first,” Benedict said after sipping the black coffee with seriousness. “What is your true desire?”
Zitrey stunned and couldn't even respond, this caught her fully off guard. Her answer doesn't change about this obvious question but her uncle doesn't know about her dreadful plan all along, she doesn't want him to know, that's when Benedict answers her stead, “To avenge Lilith?”
It was vivid on Zitrey expression that Benedict hit the right spot. “Even how deeper your hatred was, don't put justice in your hand. Let the adult and cops handle this.”
Coming back to her senses, as always Zitrey refused to accept this, it was such a long year of waiting, “Although, Aunt Heamillia and Aunt Mizu said the same thing as you that my revenge can only bring more suffering. Uncle, my goal can't be changed. However, ... For now, I will try to suppress this.”
It was a tiny
Touching the long deep scar on his cheek, though stain to his handsomeness it remained there as a crest of triumph during that stormy night. A prove that the little Andrea could kill, an indication that their game of hunt started, and a remembrance of the day were the Ainsworth Family break apart.“The scar you give to me still felt stingy, I wonder if it's because you were still alive, Rhea,” Albert told without a trace of guilt, and his face shows a devilish smile with no shame.Zitrey has a dark expression, looking down while clenching her palm, she mumbled, “You. You have no right to call my name!” She runs to attack with a fist but was blocked by the sword still on its sheath. Her strong strength was completely stopped by the young girl with that dark and emotionless eyes,
The white ground was now partially painted in droplets of red. Zitrey hands are terribly trembling while frighteningly looking at her palm stained with thick warm blood. That moment when her mom died inflicted severe trauma on her. She can't breathe well nor think, even her dark shade eyes were lifeless like a dead fish.“Shsss. Rhea, I'm totally fine. Don't cry.” Benedict assuredly said to ease her worry, lips pleasantly curving upward while rubbing her soft hair. “This mere wounds can't kill me.” But what he was said was the exact opposite of what he currently felt, an anguishing pain.“H-hospital... w...n-need... go...” Zitrey managed to say with a quivering mouth.“It was such an unfortunate reunion, Benedict. You can still hold on, but the death's door was already opened for you.” Albert said amusingly interfering with them. In an instant when he
A cold harsh wind blows in this moonless night. Rain poured heavily making a 'tip-tap' sound over the roof. Just then there was a rumbling in the skies, twisted lightning crawled across the gloomy clouds flashing white and blue; illuminating the darkroom inside. A child couldn't even scream on what she had seen, she just knew there's a crimson warm liquid spurting out from her mother's chest. “Ma…” the only word came out from her trembling mouth. Her mother leaned at her shoulders while looking at her “I'm sorry… I couldn't keep my promise,” she said while fighting the excruciating pain in her wound but still she remained calm. She tilted her head and gently wiped the tears falling on her daughter's round eyes. “Don't cry, darling.”When the child heard it, she held her tears and repeatedly bowed her head as a symbol of yes. Her mother smiled seeing the cute reaction of her daughter. “L-let me see your smile, once again darling,” she said while brushing softly the long raven hair of
The warm golden light shone and slowly eaten the wide horizon. Droplets of water on the leaves of trees and plants were sparkled with the gentle light. Behind the crystal window, the white thin curtains swayed gracefully with the morning breeze. Nonetheless, inside the room, a person in a black school uniform was emitting a dark aura while staring intently at the picture of a beautiful woman smiling together with her cute little daughter, sitting on her lap. “Mom, I made a promise to you and Uncle Ben, but...” she gently touched the mirror that shows the reflection of a teenage boy and his obsidian eyes burning on fire. Clenching her palm, she said in a cold monotonous voice, “I, Zitrey d' Nightroad will definitely catch him! I really will!!!”The veins in her forehead bulging with rage were somehow gone when she heard a pleasing and concerning voice of a woman, “Zeth, it's still early in the morning. Did you have nightmares?”This woman was sitting on her bed while facing Zitrey wi
The Owl logo guy thought for a moment that this pair of Obsidian eyes is gleaming. However, when he blinked, those eyes glaring at him look like a sharp knife – thirsty for blood. He jolted and stands up immediately. Thinking, “This person is dangerous.”He stepped back when Zitrey gets up and patted the dust on her uniform. While Zitrey is busy doing her work, the Owl logo guy notices the imprinted logo on her right chest – an Owl. He rejoiced for a moment and wanted to ask this person in front of him if he could tag along going to their school, yet, he dared not. He startled when Zitrey walked in his direction. His scalped tingled. He couldn't help but walk backward, but as he walks back, Zitrey continued to walk forward. “What to do? What to do?!” His mind was messed with negative thoughts. It was his first time to meet a person with such an intimidating aura. The Owl logo guy had already backed away to a corner of the wall when Zitrey stopped her step. His entire body froze, sti
“Eh?! Don't be like this big bro. I know, I exasperated you. You seem even hated me to call you such nonsense name but don't make excuses like that. It's clearly not true.” Zitrey sighed a breath of relief. Thankful, that Nathan didn't take it seriously. She even has a gut feeling that this person is an idiot. “So, Big bro what's your name?” Nathan strikes the iron while still hot, but he is still failed.Zitrey ignore him and walked again. “Jeez, I just wanted to know his name, why'd he made it hard for me.” Nathan thought and run to caught up to her. He stared at these 15 feet (4.57 meters) tall, thick wall; amuse, he said, “The school administrative really don't want us -students to escape the school.” But then, he changed his mind when he saw a gateway without a gate nor security guard instead it only had horizontal steel blocking the way. “Zeth!”, a lady in a white coat uniform shouted behind the entrance of their school. He wondered why this beautiful lady waves her hands che
"Hey, did you hear about the new transfer student in Class Sage?" "Yea, I heard that guy is really good-looking but looks like a girl."" Really? Lol, why do we have a transfer student in the middle of the school year?""Ah, Shit! He's right there.""Where?" A group of students in Black Uniform lined up in a cafeteria to get their lunch. One of them points out Nathan, who's just arrived with Gilbert and other Sage's students by his side."Dude... Yea, she's pretty but where's the transfer student?""Tsk, you get me wrong. That's him."The other guy and other people who heard him were in shock, eyes widened, and confused while looking at Nathan.Nathan and the group didn't notice this and continue picking up their tray and line up. "Hey! Nathan. When did you get closed to Zitrey? Are you his, childhood friend?", Gilbert asked while wrapping his one arm around Nathan's shoulder. Nathan glance at Gilbert's face and his arm on his shoulder.All of a sudden, a glimpse of the past, flashed
Twilight fell: the grayish-white moon shines brightly causing the silver tiny stars to show up in few. Nocturnal animals begin to start their night task; even the human on their shadowy job. In a small convenience store where Zitrey was in. There's a four-person in black-masked that only covered their eyes entered the said store. One of them nervously changes the sign 'open' to 'close' and followed his mates. The Security guard that supposed to guard the convenience store, had run where the loud cry of a child has been. He was about to go back to his position at the entrance of the store when he saw the four guys in masked and in armed, entered. Just then, one of the masked men instantly fired his silencer handgun towards the Security guard as soon as he saw him. The pistol the Security guard holding on was fallen to the ground when the bullet penetrated his hand. He was second late firing his gun. Another three shots follow that hit his limbs. This made him laid on the ground, out
