It was almost midnight; sullen clouds covered the brightest moon, streetlights flickered in a very long interval– making the back alley to wrap in a creepy vibe. Just then, stray cats hissed, their serene feline face contorted into an open-mouthed sneer showing their sharp canine teeth as their ears flatten, back arches and tail straightened out in a fluffy plume. Afraid of the person trespassing their territory. This person was covered in a dark blue cloak walking silently in very light steps in the middle of the pathway. Blood runs from his hand going to the green stem and white petals of a small flower, at his hand. Staining it's pure color and dripping as he walks by. Leaving its terrifying mark. Hoody hides his solemnly face, yet the body emits an overflowing killing intent as if this person was a demon vessel himself. Making small creatures back away, afraid and no guts to disturb his way. Meanwhile, at the other end of the back alley. A person in a black-clad was in a rush, ru
Nathan called Zitrey many times in such a low voice but he didn't receive any response. Moreover, he felt that he was hugging or shall I say forcefully piggyback riding a log, as it was not moving nor letting out any sounds. Just then he remembered what Julliana said this morning that Zitrey hates physical contact.“I'll be dead meat!” he then thought. “He was more dangerous compared to stray dogs.” But as soon as he heard those barks one more time, he jolted and tightens his grip.He was about to close his eyes from fear when Zitrey altered a word. “Get down.”It was in a low tone yet the voice has a trace of fury and eyes were glaring at him sharply. Nathan wishes he just closes his eyes so that he couldn't see this scary expression of him. It causes him more trouble when the wild bark was getting closer. With this loud, those dogs were just a few steps from behind. “Ah, I want to curse! Why'd they come back?!”Just then, Zitrey was also furious while repeatedly saying 'get down'.
Thunderclaps echoes, it's raining heavily and lightning strikes now and then. Although it's quite humid, the fire starts to flame and the smell of gasoline filled the air. A golden light reflects on the pale white skin of the child, sobbing while hugging its Mother's corpse. Just then as she heard the heavy steps incoming towards them, she instantly holds the lifeless body very tightly while glaring at the person she hates the most. In its small body frame, an intense anger of a raging beast filled her obsidian eyes.“What a scary face you have there.” said nonchalantly of the person standing in front of them. He looks quite slender yet his body was strongly built and his looks were extremely exceptional. The child took a glance at the gun on his hand, as she remembered what this thing was capable of, it triggered something inside her. Just then she accidentally saw a kitchen knife lying on the floor. Instantly, her mind filled with one thought, &ldq
As the bell rang longer indicating it is about to start the first class in the morning. Professor Shen tidied everything on his table and picked up the thick science edition book and the silver thin netbook for his early lesson. When he went out of the faculty room. He was greeted with delight on their faces by his colleagues as he passed by, especially women. Professor Shen also greeted them back, “Good Morning.” with a smile in his face.As one of the youngest professors of the Lumiere Academy, one of the prestigious and top schools of the country. Working here in such a young age was a big achievement already. Having such a huge merit, plus his age, his chivalry and his gentle looks, Prof. Shen became famous among his colleagues and Academe students. But despite this, he was still humble and treat everyone with gentleness. Added to the respect and idolization of the students to him, especially his own advisory — the Class Sage!When he entered the
Prof. Shen was checking papers when the three of them went into the faculty room.“Did they cause trouble?” One of his colleague asked. Her table was near Prof. Shen so she'd able to talk to him. The one seated beside her also added. “I heard todays first years were a bit troublesome. Especially the boyish girl in your class Mr. Shen. They said she was quite violent and short-tempered.”“Hmm. She's even reported to have a fight with other sections and on her seniors. I heard everytime she fought, her opponents end up in hospital.” The first one uttered.“She's a girl but a rascal!”“These students, they just go to school to make troubles. Why they just stay home.”“Yeah and seems they have no mother to discipline them. Letting their child to cause problem anywhere.”These two teachers have no idea that the person they talk about was in front of them.
Every monday of the second week and Friday of the last week of the month. The Lumiere Academy have a small event. A game between department students. They held this kind of event in order for the students to make friends in other departments, learn the social etiquette, and relationships like the senior and junior dynamic that will be important in their adult lives.This time it was on Art and Entertainment, and Academe Departments: between Class Sage and Class Steorra.After an half hour of resting, Class Sage went to A&E Department Gym with their P. E Professor Akihiro, leading the group. Zitrey, Nathan, and Nikka were walking side by side while entering the wide and enormous gym. The floor was so clean and sparkling, you can even mirror on it.Just then, everyone was startled when they saw the huge number of people watching them. Unexpectedly they're all girls, holding a bunch of things for cheering. The Class Sage uniformly thought, “What's t
“Hello, is this Mr. Nightroad?” the caller on the other line asked when Zitrey putted the smartphone near her ear. The caller's voice was hoarsely deep, you can easily tell it came from a middle age man.“Mn.” she disinterestedly answered.“Did you already distance yourself away from the group and Professor Akihiro?”“Mn.”The voice on the other line had stayed silent for a few seconds.Zitrey, who had expected on what will happen next. Take away the phone from her ear a second ahead before it burst with overflowing questions of: how is she, her older sister and her adoptive father. Also, talking some nonsense about his everyday life.This old man is extremely a worrywart about his friend family. Everytime he has chat with Zitrey he became a bit of childish and talkative.The first time when Zitrey was introduced to this old man as her godfather, she felt a
In Lance provocation, Zitrey were still silent, not a single word came out on her precious mouth, uninterested on what had just happened.This made Lance anger a bit. From the very first time they'd met, Lance already hated Zitrey's guts. He (Zitrey) was the only person who never gives attention and interest on him, not even jealous on his looks or how girls swarm on him, just like any other guys. Since then, he always felt that Zitrey is always looking down on him, especially her salty stares.Not wanting to ruin his thriving mood, he shifted his stare at Nikka, smirking. “So, Tomboy did you just bite your tongue? Why didn't you say anything? What did you just say awhile ago, zero? Well, in the next second no one will be going to stand alive in there.”“And Miss, just wait for me a bit longer. You'll become mine after I finish this.” winking at Nathan.Nathan hair risen and shivers a bit. He felt gross in just hi
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
One butler was assigned to each of the youngsters, accompanying them at quite a distance, does not disturb them if not necessary, assisting, and to ensure their safety.Nikka was strumming the classical guitar, checking the tone and it’s quality, while Yui was wondering why they were in the musical instrument store. “Why we are here? I thought we’re going to the arcade?” he asked in confusion.Testing the other instruments that pique her interest, Nikka responded nonchalantly, “Let’s go there later. We stop here to buy you a musical instrument. You love music and I would love to listen to you well, watching you playing these tools with your wonderful hand plus voice, sigh how magical it is. Music is your way to bring you to your family, their memories that stuck within you. Sometimes it lessens your sadness, eases your longing, a companion in times of loneliness, it was somewhat an invisible medicine. I always hear you sing, but as I was not gifted
Among the crowd were humans are minding their own time together, Nathan was walking on pins of needles while holding Zitrey's hand, he can't believe this was happening."Walking while in holding hands, isn't this like we’re having a date? I act so compose a while ago, yet here am I, so nervous and can't even utter a single word, and as expected I can’t start a proper conversation when Zitrey herself stays in silence. But, why..." Nathan touched his pounding chest that having trouble going back to normal. He was always confused about this foreign feeling."But, why I'm so happy?... Does this mean I like her? But what is the meaning of liking someone? When this organ called heart pounding like about to burst? Admiration? Respect? If we want to protect that someone against any harm? or want to know more about them? It seems such a simple question and easy to answer, yet it was hard for those who were like me. Either way, I only wish to stay by her side. Does this count of liking her?""..
The enormous and wide extravagant mall was buzzing with people in their winter coats enjoying their holidays with their companions, family, or just alone.Beneath the magnificent fountain in the centermost of the place, where beautiful water was sparkling with vibrant colors like a gem, a group of youngsters was standing there having a casual conversation while waiting for someone. Even if they were warned not to cause any unnecessary attention, still, their beauty was so captivating that made any passerby glimpse at them, especially when they were accompanied by the two distinguished young actors.“Why Zitrey and Christine took long to buy that d*mn cold sweet-flavored thing? Your little sister has a really weird taste, Cederick. It’s d*mn winter.” Nikka fretted, crossing her arms while foot was tapping on the sparkling floor, constantly, showing her restlessness. Cederick just laughs at her awkwardly while brushing his ha
Under the queer shade of the dark sky, white fluffy dots of snow and mesmerizing crystal flakes were slowly falling in the pool of white ground. Around the middle of the prosperous city, where most citizens living is enjoying their short holidays at home. In the office just above the famous bar with a hidden agenda, a gruesome incident has just occurred.A glint of red and blue light was dancing energetically above the police cars parking near the building of the incident. The area was surrounded by barricade tapes, a bright yellow polyethylene tape with large black printed letters. This restricts individuals with no authority to enter the crime scene. Groups of men in black uniforms are checking each of the corners of the area, searching for the clues leading to the suspect. Cameras are flashing constantly, capturing each angle of the dead bodies of three men laid on the cement floor, bodies wounded with several deep cuts that cause their deaths.A sudden appearance of the man in a l
