Chapter 77: Nightmares (1)
But there are some occasions where they can be frightening.
After all, there will never be daylight here. It\'s always dark, there are always stars, and there is almost always a moon.
That\'s why there are times when you can\'t get to know when it\'s daytime, even if you long for it. If you are under a nightmare, you can\'t think that \'at dawn that will end\', because there is no real dawn.
Although the hours pass, the seasons in the sky do not change; it is always night, so your nightmare could go on endlessly if you don\'t manage to escape from it, and in the end, it could end you.
That\'s why many people tend to go to live where many live, because the noises can serve as their company.
It is a situation that happens in almost any city in this world.
That\'s why, in this world, nights lend themselves to murder.
Whether it\'s a terrifying and lonely city like the City of Clans, a Commercial City like the Academic Commercial City, or...
A beautiful city where crowds of people live, like the City of the Bloody Dawn.
In the darkness of the night, in a usually safe area where many powerful men lived, several figures moved at great speed over the roofs of the beautiful buildings in this place.
They were fast and ephemeral; although you could see them now and catch a glimpse of them, from one moment to the next, they would disappear to appear several meters ahead.
These figures wore dark clothes that camouflaged with the black of the night.
They ran for a long time until they finally stopped on the roof of a beautiful house.
A man appeared before them and bowed, "Sir, they are inside." He said quickly. The man he was talking to took off his mask and smiled sinisterly.
"Are they waiting like little sheep?" He asked, and the kneeling man smiled as he nodded.
"That\'s right." He replied, causing the sinister smile on the old man\'s face to become more evident.
"Well..." He said and began to walk into the house...
.
"Dad, are you there?" a little girl\'s beautiful voice rang through the darkness of the night after being awakened by a strange noise. She felt frightened by that noise.
Still, her father\'s answer didn\'t come, so she changed the name of who was calling.
"Mom?" she said softly, trying to find a source of voice to hold on to so that the fear would leave her body.
She was small, about ten years old. She had a pretty face, and even though she had just woken up, the sweetness in her face denoted her cute princess-like aura.
Even so, that pretty face of tenderness was soon filled with fear after receiving no response from her parents.
And she felt time passing as slowly as if she were inside a strange nightmare.
She couldn\'t understand what was happening but tried to be optimistic, as her father and mother had once told her.
She began to think she was imagining things, \'Maybe the noise was in my dream? Little sister is asleep...\' She thought as she looked at her sister in the other bed, who was sleeping peacefully.
Her younger sister\'s face made her smile and brought tranquility to her mind again, so she laid back down to fall asleep again.
Still, she soon woke abruptly when she saw a shadow pass by the window.
She wanted to scream, but quickly covered her mouth...
Her tender, delicate hands began to tremble along with her legs.
She wanted to run, her mind was telling her that she should run and take her sister away from here to her parents\' room.
But her body did not respond...
In her tender logic, she thought that covering her face might work...
Still, fear enveloped her so much that even her movements were slowed down, and the moment she grabbed her pillow, a terrifying smile formulated in front of her on the other side of the window...
"AHHHH!" she couldn\'t help but scream out fear when she saw a person wearing dark clothing smiling at her on the other side.
She quickly jumped back, trying to escape whatever was there, but soon collided with the wall behind her.
And along with the crash, the face at the window disappeared, stunning her.
Furthermore, her scream woke her younger sister, "Sis? What\'s wrong?" she asked and saw her older sister run out of bed and grab her.
"We have to go to Mom and Dad\'s room!" she screamed, filled with terror and a deep fear that made her tremble.
Her sister had always been a good girl, so she didn\'t reply. She gave her a quick nod after sensing that something terrible might happen, and soon, they were running for the door...
Even so, just at those moments, the door was kicked down, startling them to the point of falling backward to the floor...
"Emma, Emi, where are you!?" A voice came from the other side of the door; fear could be noted in its tone.
Even so, this frightened voice was also like a torrent of calm waters pouring over the hearts of the two beautiful girls on the floor.
A man and a woman walked through the broken door at that moment, as the two little girls on the floor screamed joyfully.
"Daddy, Mommy!" they both shouted, causing the two who had just entered to look their way.
A beautiful smile formed on their faces then, as they breathed a sigh of relief.
Still, they realized that they couldn\'t stay here...
They were being hunted by assassins; they had to flee as soon as possible!
Therefore, the man quickly approached his daughters and went to carry them, but just then, he felt something cold creep into his chest...
He could not help but lower his face to see what was happening and was stunned when he saw that a dagger had pierced his heart...
For all who saw him, this was a shock, but soon he felt that another part of his body had been stabbed... And for some reason, he could not move.
He turned and found a sinister smile on a face unknown to him.
At the same time, he glimpsed that his beloved wife had also been pierced...
"Hanna!" he cried out, but a flash crossed his sight then, and he felt his consciousness disappear when his head was split in two from behind...
