What's the sense of living? Some will say to achieve our goal, some will say there's none.
And on the two of that, I'm both. I want to achieve my goal, to graduate and have a profession. I want that to be a payback of my clan's sweat and blood to invest such huge money for me to have a great education.
But does it still have sense, if I'm only the one living in our clan?
It's not, then my sense of living is nothing. I'm just forcing myself to graduate for them even though they can't even see my success anymore.
I grabbed the book out of my bag, and place the money I earned between its pages for being a working student. I bit lip, I need to spend it wisely so it can sustain me for months.
And yeah, they did invest huge money only for my education, but for my other necessities, there's none.
I hugged the book from my chest as I departed from my working place.
As I stepped outside, the breeze of the air embraced me and gave me goosebumps. It's almost midnight, and there's only one thing I wanted to do...
But something made me stopped at my track.
Someone just chuckled.
The h*ck?! It's not even Halloween... and d*mn I hate ghosts!
I tighten my embrace on the book as I strode and quicken my pace. My heart was pounding much faster than usual.
As I can't bear the wobbling of my knees anymore, I forced myself to ran, but the chuckle seems like it wants to follow me.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little Night,
I want to hold your neck so tight." Then she chuckled. Her voice was so low that it only ended up as a whisper in my ear.
It made me swallowed my saliva. I roamed my gaze on the dark city but I only saw nothing but the city lights.
And the owner of the chuckle knew my name. I quicken my pace as much I can. But the voice doesn't want to leave me.
"HELP!"
A voice echoed to the whole place.
It made me stopped my track. I furrowed my brows as I looked up at the apex of the building on my side, where the voice of 'help' came.
It's different from the chuckle, the voice radiated fear and terrified.
"HELP!" A girl, a little girl at the apex of the building, she's the one screaming. There's someone on her back, a lady in red with a menacing aura.
I loosen the collar of my uniform. I swallowed the lump on my throat.
The lady in red held the shirt of the little girl and lifted her, intending her to throw out of the rooftop of the building.
I almost passed out!
"S-sh*t wait!" I screamed and ran as fast I can through the entrance of the building.
God knows how much I'm thankful when it's not locked.
I quickly ran to the staircase until I reached the last stair of the two-story building.
I slammed the door of the rooftop and faced the two females. The lady in red still has her menacing aura, but now that I'm near her, I think I already peed myself on my pants!
"H-help me," the little girl's voice was almost inaudible. Her shoulders were going ups and down as she struggled to breath.
"Hm, M-miss, c-calm down," I said even though I can't even calm down. My breathing isn't normal anymore.
The lady in red chuckled. "Twinkle, twinkle, little Night
I want to hold your neck so tight.
Smash your head to the nearest wall,
Until your blood will overflow," the lady sang in a deep voice. She cracked her neck and combed her black hair.
It sent chills down my spine, especially on my neck. I stepped backward, I want to run, but I can't just leave that little girl there.
I also want to die, but not with fear! D*mn it!
I ran through the little girl until I held her hand. The lady just stood there like a statue giving me the momentum to steal the little girl.
I hugged the terrified girl with a book still in my hands. "Ssh, you'll be safe, baby," I said with my most soothing voice, yet I think it only ended as an annoying one again.
My eyes widened as the little girl slowly faced me with a lunatic face. My arms that were hugging her dropped on the mid-air.
Then she laughed like a psycho.
I swallowed the lump on my throat. I tightened the grasp on my book as I struggled to step backward. I fell to the floor as my mouth was still agape.
The little girl formed her hands into a fist, smirked like an evil, and smashed me on my face.
My body's shaken as I almost fell from the building. I wiped out the blood on my mouth.
What was that strength? D*mn, I'm just trying to help and this is what I've got?
I became alert as I struggled to stand. The lady in red together with the little girl walked towards me.
I can feel the loudness of my heart in the deafening silence of the night. Their stomps were getting louder and louder as I struggled more to find the strength on my feet.
They are both smirking.
Wait, I want to die, so why I am afraid?
No! I can't die yet, I still need to seek justice for my clan! I still need to become a lawyer!
Oh sh*t, why do I need to realize all of this now that I'm on the verge of getting killed?
The lady in red bent her body and held my neck so tight. She fixed her stand.
While here I am, trying to free myself from her grasp, but the more I tried, the more she tightened it.
"L-let m-me live." My breathing was heavy. I think my lungs were falling on the bottom of this building.
"I won't," the lady in red said as she smirked. She started to lift me out of the rooftop. Her voice declared a war of emotions inside of me.
"P-please, l-let me... live." The words were too hard to say. My head is aching and my neck, it feels like it's getting sliced, it's getting crashed!
"I told you, I won't," she answered as the moon illuminated her eyes.
I almost passed out when her eyes together with the little girl turn red, they both showed fangs that made my heart skipped a beat.
I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Aah!"
D*mn!
Yet I am getting captivated by her eyes, as she seems to enjoy the moment.
But then she loosed her grip on my neck. I was out of breath. I still tried to cling to her arms but the little girl I want to save kicked me on my head. Letting me fall, wanting my body to be slammed on the surface of the road.
"D*MN!"
And a loud thud was heard.
NightMy hands quickly find their way to hold my head tightly as I felt an excruciating pain inside it."Aah!" I groaned.I slowly opened my eyelids, but my eyes can't see any. I tried to calm myself and closed my eyes again.I heaved a deep sigh.I’m still holding on to my head, as it hurts, a lot.‘Is that just a dream? But how come that it feels real?’I forced myself to stand as I gently opened my eyes. My sight became better now. I heaved a deep sigh.That’s insane! That dream wants to drown me!I shook my head as I tried to distract my thoughts into something.My eyes roamed themselves on my apartment, it's just small compared to any, but at least it can accommodate
NightI could have rolled my eyes at Kill's words, but I decided not to. Instead, I stood firm and prepared myself for an explosion."Seriously, I don't care about them!" My nostrils flared, my eyebrows knitted as I can feel my forehead went to wrinkled. "I died that night as what you said! But how come that I'm shouting at you right now?!"I quickly inhaled air as I almost ran out of breath. My chest moved ups and down, not being able to control it.The guy named Kill stepped backward then massage his ears. He lowered his head as he combed his hair, but the moment he raised his head, I was taken aback.My knees quickly wobbled as his eyes turned into glowing red. He bit his lower lip as he slowly made his way towards me.He is a fr*aking monster!"You want
Night Life isn't a fairy tale as almost everybody sees it. It is a war, a battle of you against yourself, and if you’re too unlucky, you'll fight against the world. My body was still numb as Kill quickly lifted me that day and fled me to a somehow nipa hut together with Ash. I tried to escape, but something still made me go with them. "We saved you, but in return, you became like us, monsters," his voice echoed inside my head. I'm not yet done scrutinizing but he quickly dropped another bomb again. "You are a vampire now, Carnelian. " My eyes widened. As I absorbed all his words and decode it all. I couldn't help my eyes but move briskly. The moment I let you have my blood. Sh*t!
"You are a trap." Killix’s voice rang in my ears as I seemed to understand what he was trying to mean. My eyes slowly widened as I still kept my gazes on them. Killix’s sister, Ciara, suddenly raised her eyebrows yet the sweats forming on her bare forehead said otherwise on what she was trying to act. “What is your real agenda, Ciara?” Killix growled as he held the latter's shoulder that made her flinched. He then quickly distanced his self away from his sister then massaged his temples. “Do you ever came here just to fool me?” As I was busy scrutinizing the scenario in front of me, I suddenly felt someone's touch on my back. I was about to turn my head around it but I suddenly felt the strangest feeling with my skin. It is like I was abruptly being dragged by full speed. The next thing I knew was, I was already in front of Kill, Ash, and Ciara wh
Night The sound of it already made me sick. I stiffly banged my head at the table in front of me as Villix keeps on talking like there is no tomorrow in his life. We are now on his house, a mansion to be exact. There is a huge crystal chandelier above us that sparkled and reflect at every window glass that made the place more magical. But I just can't help not to focus on it. “Aren't you amazed at everything I've said, Night? I told you, the both of us could be the greatest couple of all time that will reign all the vampires until our last breaths!” His smile was wide as it almost reached his ear. Kidding, I just want to bang his head on the table too. He's pretty annoying. I slumped myself in my seat or my throne from now on he said. I crossed my arms into my chest as I looked at him with full of disgust plastered on my
Night Villix Bane, the vampire who wants a stranger lady to be the mother of his future children was being run away as fast as that lady can away from him. I don't know if I even stopped cursing under my breath knowing I am just trying my luck to know where is the exit of this place. My breathing was heavy as my chest continued to move ups and down making my pace slower. Sweats were insanely flowing at my skin too because of how long I have been running for my life. My neck also hurts as I keep on turning my head to see if someone was in my back, or if Villix was already there looking like evil at my back. As I finally saw the huge door in front of me, I quickly held the doorknob and was about to turn it to open. But something stopped me as I felt a reverse force from the outs
Night“Hey! Can you tell me where are we heading at?” I tiredly blurted out. My knees were now wobbling and I can't also feel my feet anymore because of too much running. And then next happened was the thing I didn't expect the most. I suddenly tripped as my face crashed on the muddy ground. “Sh*t!” I shouted as I tried to arose from where I tripped. I quickly wiped the mud off on my face then sat down while looking at the bored face of Ciara. “I already told you that I should have carried you at my back.” Ciara rolled her eyes. I face palms myself at her suggestion then tried to stand again. But as I completely do so, Ciara suddenly lifted me like a newlywed bride then started to jump off from tree to tree as we are now in the
Night For a short period of time, I saw her being kind, but as what she just let me see right now, it all felt senseless of her telling me the glimpse of her life after she broke down. Her eyes were still screaming rage while looking intently at me. I met her gaze like already accepting my faith. Well, I don't even have a choice here but die. My body was too feeble to control, and if ever my blood can kill a vampire, I won't do it to her. I can't understand why she acted this way. Or maybe she just really furious, because I am not going to be a form of help for her mission while she saves me from her father. Her claws were like been slowly getting closer to my neck instead of being fast in my sig
