CHAPTER 47: THE FALLEN AND THE FREE
Aria and Lizzie both dashed to the woods and found a bunch of bodies scattered all around the opening. Blake’s head was still on the spike. Aria glanced at it and clenched her fists. “I will make them pay,” she whispered in between her teeth as she went inside the moonlit forest.
They found Cassie kneeling on the ground, embracing Matt’s limp and lifeless body in her arms.
With eyes still full of tears, and a quivering lower lip, she looked up at Aria and shook her head. “He’s gone,” she said. “He’s gone,” she said, her sobs echoed in the middle of the night.
A few meters away from them was a distraught Leo. He was looking down on his bloody hands, then to Matt. Aria could hear his heart thumping from there.
She flashed towards him and tried to make him focus on her eyes.

Meet Me on a Moonlit Night PROLOGUE
Aria saw her parents tied on their bed, their mouths covered with duct tape, and both blindfolded. She removed their blindfolds as quickly as she can, then the duct tape as gently as she can, and signaled them to hush.“Everything will be alright,” she whispered to her crying mother.“Are you okay?” her father asked. She nodded.Her father’s face is a mixed emotion of anger to their situation and relief to see her okay.She looked for a scissor to cut the cable ties binding their hands to the post of their bed but was interrupted when she heard footsteps approaching the room.“Hide. Hide,” her father frantically whispered.“Gun in the dresser,” he said while pointing the dresser with his lips. She quickly hid as she was told and stayed silent.They’re at the door. She can hear th

She is confused why she's not healing despite having the ability to do so.Not far from Aria is a group of men and women chasing her. They don't have anything that illuminates their path, but they run as if they see everything in the dark forest."You can't run away from us, Aria," their leader said. His voice echoed in the woods and made every bit of Aria's being tremble for fear.The fear made her run faster, but it was too late when she realized that she has already reached the precipice of the cliff.

They knew about that. But they still had a party there. It was just in the clearing of the woods, but it was still in the woods.As for the beasts, she thought those were just myths. Stories to scare kids at night. Stories that eventually faded as they grew older.Stories about the beasts who kill people, but they got buried as years went by. They realized beast is a metaphor for people who can't control their emo

"But you need to eat to regain your strength.""I haven't seen Leo," she started, contemplating whether to start asking questions or not yet. She thinks Nora seems trustworthy, but not Matt.Somehow, Matt gives this weird feeling that he doesn't like her that much. She needs Leo.Aria wants to talk to him. But she hasn't seen him since she woke up."He's just trying to get an update in the crime scene," Matt said.Aria looked up at him and tried to read what was really in his mind; maybe she was judging him too early.

As soon as Aria opened the door, a pair of arms embraced her. The lavender scent from her hair made Aria feel better."Thank God. Aria, we were so worried. Where were you?" Lizzie asked. She still wears the same puff-sleeved dress she was wearing last night.Aria noticed Lizzie's puffy eyes and pale lips. Behind her is Jerome, who also looked exhausted."I was so worried. I should not have forced you. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Lizzie said, crying while holding her hands.Aria wiped her tears and hugged her. She patted her back gently as they embraced each other once more."Hush now. I'm already here. I'm safe. It wasn't your fault," Aria said.They both sat down on the sofa while Jane went to the kitchen. She came back with biscuits and tea. A smile was plastered in Jane's face while looking at her daughter, despite appearing weary herself.
Meet Me on a Moonlit Night CHAPTER 5: MOONLIGHT PACT
Aria curled and prepared herself for the impact of the fall. She was surprised and mad at what Matt had done.But, instead of hitting the hard ground, she fell on a pair of strong arms. She looked up and saw the most enticing brown eyes she had ever seen. It felt like every pain she was feeling earlier stopped.But she came back to reality when she heard Matt's annoying voice."Come on now, lovebirds, no time to waste. The moon's peak is near," he said. Then, he ran past them and to the direction of the woods."Why did he do that?" she exclaimed as soon as Leo put her down."Nevermind him. He's annoying at times. Are you okay?" he asked. Then, he looked at Aria again. But, Aria avoided his gaze. She doesn't want Leo to notice her swooning over his eyes every time she sees it."I'm fine," she answered. "Where are we going anyway. I'm not feeling well."

Jane screamed at the top of her lungs as she saw the stomach-turning entrails. She fell to the floor as her knees weakened, but Aria was fast enough to catch her.

Harry's eyes widened as soon as he laid eyes on the gift beside Aria's window.Blood was still dripping from the box to the floor. Harry walked closer and inspected the package; he found a note on top of its cover."A gift for the baby wolf," he read loudly for Aria and Jane to hear.Aria could hear how her parents' rapid heartbeats as seconds passed. Harry flipped the note and saw another note at the back of it.Aria walked towards it, and a tiny object in the corner of the box caught her eye.
