View MoreA 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 her daughter. Even though she can't feel it, her tiny lips curved upward exposing her white shiny teeth.
“That's right, always smile. You must never forget to smile...” she wrapped her arms around the child's body. Feeling the warmth emitting from her daughter, the tears that she's been holding on, crazily falls down on her eyes, making her vision blurry.
“Be strong... Andrea—!” Suddenly, dark warm blood came out from her mouth. “So, this is it. The only regret I've had in my life...” she murmured. Then in her last breath, she said her farewell word, “I love you.” A gentle smile like a spring flower can be seen at her face.
Her daughter felt the lessen of her Mother's hugged; her heart skip a beat when she felt the slowly disappearing of her Mother's heartbeat. “Ma…” terrified, she shook her mother leaning on her shoulder to wake her up, but she didn't receive any response. It was then a horrifying idea pop out on her head. She can't accept it. Her breathing became heavy. The pain she felt was like a thousand needles piercing her heart deeply. She felt her world was cracking.
Embracing her lifeless Mother, she let out an ear-piercing scream. At the same time, the whitish lightning flashed and a loud sound of thunder could be heard echoing around the starless night. As if heaven were infuriated.

A person resting under the shade of the tree wakes up with sweat all over her face. “Tsk, nightmare again.” She wiped it with her hand. When she tilted her head from left to right, a cracking sound can be heard.
As soon as she stands up, a gust of cold wind passed over her entire person. She smiled, “Ma, I'm sorry, your daughter died long ago.” Her bloodshed eyes and demonic like smile form an eerie aura. She then shouted, “I am… your Son! ZITREY d' NIGHTROAD!”
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
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,
“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
Elbowing Cederick, Ezikiel has asked, “How do you know that information, about that woman being a mistress?”“Did I never mentioned that I'm Jack's Candidate? Collecting information around this District is simply part of my job.” Cederick spoke in a confiding voice with a bit of bragging.“Tch, I forgot, you're part of a dark organization,” Ezikiel muttered with a grimace while arms were resting on his shoulders which were found funny by Cederick.“Uncle Strauss!” Cederick eagerly called to the man approaching them. His face clearly shows how excited he was for seeing him. Cederick seems a cute puppy wagging his tail when this person patted his head so gently. Somehow he acts like an ordinary kid in front of this man.“Gahh, I disregard the fact that he was also Kieth. This somehow looks cringe.” Ezikiel thought watching them, “And why 'he' was here?”“What are you doing here uncle?”
“What am I doing in the kid’s world watching your little sister play?” Ezikiel wants to swear badly for being used as a servant for a brat and forced to wear a bright and cute headband that was not suited to his cup of tea. He wears a white rabbit ear while the wolf was for Cederick. The two were holding plenty of shopping bags. It was full of interesting toys and cute dresses that Christine just recently buy. Cederick was obviously spoiling her.This big brother was having fluffy air with flowers while watching his little sister enjoying the big and wide kid’s pool full of vibrant small balls while playing with other kids.Hearing Ezikiel’s fuming, Cederick right away said, “Bear with it, we don’t want to interfere with those couples.”“But I’m interfering with your time together too.”Cederick shakes his head, “You didn’t, with you here, I’m not awkward with my sis. You light up the atmosphere, plus my s
