Moonflower

The tears of the nine-year-old girl continued to flow down her cheeks. Her whole body was shaking from too much anger and fear. She kept on convincing herself that all of this was nothing but a nightmare. That tomorrow, she would wake up and find out that everything was just a dream. That all this bloodshed was not real. But the sea of blood surrounding her was telling her otherwise. That all of this was real, that it was not just created by her mind. That the monster with red eyes walking closer and closer to her was not just a product of her imagination. Blood stained his clothes. But she knew that those were not his own. He was a killer, a bloodthirsty monster. She wanted to scream, to ask for help. But she knew it was for naught, no one would come to help her. Because all of them were dead. And her tears once again fell uncontrollably. He was getting closer and closer. She wanted to run, but she felt like her feet were stuck on the ground. She couldn’t mo

“DOBRE odpoledne, Rie,” the two students greeted her in Czech.“Good afternoon as well,” Rie greeted back in the same language.Both of the girls squealed. She continued on walking, not affected by it. It’s not something that’s really new to her. Whenever she talked to some students, they would blush for no reason. They would even squeal just like those two girls earlier.Czech was the major language in Prague, where St. Markéta Academy was located. It’s a boarding school for girls. Most of the students there were mostly from rich families all over Europe. They would send their daughters here mostly for protection. Because St. Markéta has the most advance defense against supernaturals, particularly vampires and demons.It’s because the headmistress of the school was a high-ranking member of House of Hecate. That’s why a magical barrier surrounded the entire school. For some reaso

RIE silently looked outside the car window. She was watching other vehicles passing by. The old town of Prague still favored cars on land. In today’s time, people usually used flying cars that were being powered by electricity. Even with the appearance of supernatural beings in the world, the rapid development of technology still didn’t stop.In fact, because of the presence of these supernatural beings, humans just became more determined in inventing new things or making the existing technology even more advanced. Their inventions ranged from everyday items and appliances to industrial weapons.Maybe they thought that it’s the only way they could fight against these supernatural beings. But if there’s something these humans could be proud of, then those were their intelligence, ingenuity, and their uncanny ability to survive.In just a few moments, they would soon arrive at the hospital. But Rie still couldn’t think of how she shou

RIE shook her head. This was not the time to observe this guy’s appearance. What she should have been thinking right now was where the heck did this person come from? She was certain that she was alone on the rooftop. She examined the place before contacting Casa. The only way to go here was through the door behind her. And since she attached the paper charm on the door, she’s sure than no one had entered it. So, again, where did this man come from? She immediately racked her brain for an answer, but the only thing that came to mind was that the other jumped from the ground to this rooftop. Then that would make this guy a supernatural being. The other guess was that he was a vampire. Those bastards could teleport. But then again, the sun was pretty high in the sky. No vampire would dare teleport to a place this high up. The sun could burn those bastards alive, turning them into ashes. So, no vampire usually went out during the day. Rie’s thoughts were
