Know that it is from Sakura's point of view...Thud
ThudBodies kept falling spontaneously.I am hiding under the table. My hands-on my mouth, shivering from fear of death. I could hear the pit pattering sound of drops of blood falling in front of me. Each one is followed by the other as if every single drop is calling for help.Though the night had made it harder to see anything in the dark, the falling thuds of bodies made it easy to locate the whereabouts of the killer. l could not make out the movements of the slayer as l focused on not making a sound. l had to remain still to get out alive. But the whooshing sound of a sword corresponding to that of the screams of the victims made me feel intense fear.
Fear for my life. Fear for my family. Mostly l fear the killer. For he has my life and my parents in his hands. The floor l am lying on is cold but my body is sweating too much.
Each step he takes towards the table increases each drop of the salty liquid. I stretch my hand to touch the floor only to get them wet and sticky. I know it is the blood of my parents. I know l should go out and scream at his face for killing them, but l need to stay alive.
I crawl towards the mess. I don't care to get my dress dirty.
I keep crawling but suddenly l feel something hit my head as extreme pain dragged me to darkness. I have been found out.Related chapters
My True One Chapter 1
SAKURA POV"Sakura hurry up! We are going to be late!"My mother yelled loudly from the sparkly living room downstairs. My father and the butler were already outside organising our ride. Bodyguards lined up as they took orders from Ress, the butler.We are preparing to go to a business party. I am currently looking through my dress room, fitting some dresses to find the 'one'.I need to make a grand entrance. To enlighten everyone that l am the heir of the Manaki family. The one and only.My maids are by my side dressing me up. And complimenting me as always."My lady you look stunning.""Yes, my lady you are gonna rock the party tonight."I am getting impatient, l quickly stand and walk to the mirror.Looking at myself brings some happiness within me. I touch my face feeling the softness and how slippery it has become after the makeover Moving on to my brown eyes that are sparkling from the light. I touch my wavy peach hair that falls to my back with care. Removing every knot. I lo

I remember that day like it is yesterday. That dreadful day, if only l had not attended that party they could still be alive. We could still be together. I might still have my life. At least if l had stayed a little longer l could have saved their lives." Stop what you doing and get to your jobs!"I hear one of the leader shout at us to get to work as he brought in new people just like us. Even though slavery is banned for years and is now history in morden era. Less know that it is still in practise. There is a part in Kyoto where it's publicly known but no one can do anything about it. It is a place where there are people who think they can lead the country alone. Where there are people who see money as poison. These people go after the rich enslaving their children. I am the same case.I can still picture my mother telling me to hide under the table. Slashing sounds of swords sounding in the dark. The screams of the victims still haunt me in my sleep." Hey there stop what you d
My True One Chapter 3
It is early in the morning when we were all called to meet in front of the main hall.l was first to reach there as l watched the guards marching inside. I could hardly see combat, unusual movements then the door closed. The others arrived with the master behind them holding his katana handles. I felt my wound in pain itching intensely, nevertheless l remained still." Walk fast you filthy rats. We have no time." He shouted on top of his voice in turn looking at some maidens afar."Come come!" He called.The women came dressed in beautiful kimonos. They had styled their hair nicely and it looked really neat. They lined in front of each every one of us. With trays covered by a red cloth."Remove the piece." He commanded raising his hand upwards. Everyone got really worried to see him like that. With sweaty hands and trembling nerves l looked at the red cloth feeling some what uncomfortable.Just like that we each stretched our hands and took each corner of the cloth lifting it up only t
My True One Chapter 4
I start to stir in my sleep feeling as if something is restricting me from stretching my hands and legs. I open my eyes to see that l am in the same position as yesterday only that there is lots of light in the room. I look around to see that guy sleeping on a chair at the far end. If he was not a bad guy l would say he looked cute. After staring at an eyesore for a long time l started feeling so hungry that my stomach sounded in the room earning me a smirk from that guy. He stood up and walked right to me. "You are up. So are you ready to listen to me and getting out of that uncomfortable state and joining me on my meal."What?He thinks l will eat with him. No can't do. If he thinks l am going to wear one of those kimonos then he is in for something else. But for the mean time l need to get out of this rope." Listen to you? No but if you mean stay out of your way then we are talking."".....Good thinking, l lose nothing after releasing you. " He started walking torwards me , no
My True One Chapter 5
After waiting so long for him to lean in and take the lead. For me to close my eyes as we engross in a moment that never came, l felt him grip my arm as he turned me around. He did not say a word as he again tied me with another rope. Can't we get over with it.He has so much pride. Man. He should have given in and we should have kissed then l wouldn't be tied on this pole again." Why are you complicating things l am making this a lot easier for you."l complained dramatically saying it in a grieving tone.He looked into my eyes with his purple ones that seemed to restrain any emotion or feeling for me or any one to see." So what now. Are you going to feed me again." I challenged feeling too good to get under his skin." Shut your mouth now." He threatened holding a knife at my throat. I could not see when or how he had taken it out. He was steady as if it was a normal thing to kill a person. I suddenly lost words as l felt cold and my hands kept trembling though they were tied o
My True One Chapter 6
I was really surprised when he left me without cursing or shouting at me. I felt some what content seeing him leave the room after taking a quick glance at me. He walked to the window jumping down as his coat flared with wind, his hair too. He was tired after dealing with Mr Lockey. I wonder why he fights with the old man. It could be seen by his dejected form of movement that he was no longer agitated as he was a while ago before the man came.My hands are still tied. My body is aching from standing in one position Especially my legs. I look up expecting to see some light or something.This place is so dark as usual.There is something that is troubling me when it comes to this place. Why was it built in the first place. What work is done here. It feels as if l am in a jail at least these days the jails have electricity and some sorts they don't stay in the dark.I don't want to waste any time here anymore, l need to consult the police so that they can arrest the murderer of that nig
My True One Chapter 7
3 months laterLeaping from roof to roof with my all-black outfit that is a black crop top with a black leather half coat and a mini skirt that enables me to jump and do all sorts, knives nicely placed in my knee-high sock's pockets at my sides. My hair was fairly pulled back, tied with a knot reaching my lower back. As the night breeze brushed at it a little bit.I am also wearing black boots as l proceed with my mission. I need to reach there as soon as possible everything will be clear if l find that file. Ring...My cell phone rings as l take it from my pocket. It has been a month when l got this phone from town. No one even knows except her that l sneak out of that sickly place to enjoy some life outside or to say to do some investigation like now.I look on the screen to see Hozumi calling."Mushi mushi""Sakura-chan where are you l told you not to go alone this time around get back now!""Calm down nothing will happen to me after all you are with Nagara right.."" So what you
My True One Chapter 8
Being frequently in his presence has become so annoying to both sides. Even though l avoid getting in a conversation with him, still we will be in the same room.We were currently inside the building . I was sitting on the floor whilst he was hanging on the pillar. Being his weird self after all assassins can do anything."When did you find out?"l ask all of a sudden remembering his talk earlier. He looks at me."....." He changes the way he was as he flips sitting upright. Does he get it or he is acting like he did not. He is difficult."I mean when did you know that l was doing all that." I ask because all along l thought l was doing it all secretly. There is nothing that beats the feeling that all along you were busy hiding something whilst it has been found out.Or is it Hozumi.."Don't blame her l knew from the start when you went back and met Hozumi. Sometimes you would make too much noise when you failed jumping to the other roofs. I could see you lying on the ground after a hea
