Best novel online free at novelhall.com

In Marceline's subconscious...

Marceline Celeste found herself in the middle of the forest which was engulfed by darkness. The stars and the moon were hiding behind the thick clouds.

The howling of the wind intensified the eeriness of the night. Then she heard the rustling sounds of the dry leaves as running footsteps were coming in her direction.

Marceline felt like she had already seen this scene. She gazed at her surroundings until her eyes were able to adjust in the dark.

She froze in her spot the moment she saw the three figures who were running towards her- a man, a woman, and a young girl. They were a family of three.

She looked at them with her unblinking eyes, a trace of disbelief resurfacing on her face. For some unknown reason, the three people didn't notice her presence as if she was invisible.

They continued running as if their lives depended on it. Marceline finally took a step, following them.

"Mom! Dad! I am here! I'm Marceline, can't you see me?" She called on them but they couldn't hear her voice.

She saw them, hiding the 6-year-old child under the giant root of an old forest tree. She even heard her mother's words.

"My daughter, our princess, please stay here and don't make any sound. Keep hiding. We promise we will come back for you."

After ensuring the safety of the young girl, her parents left in a hurry.

"Mom! Dad! No, please don't leave! Don't leave her. She's just a kid. Please bring her with you! Please bring me with you!" Marceline screamed while begging them not to leave.

But before she could do anything to stop them, they suddenly vanished in the darkness. The young girl was the only person left. And that young girl was none other than Marceline herself.

Trying to save her life, her parents abandoned her with the promise they would come back. But they never returned.

Marceline already knew what was the outcome of this dream, her nightmare.

She saw her young self, trying to keep her silence even though she was so scared that all she could think of was to cry. She was frightened to death of being alone in that big dark forest.

Her heart constricted inside her chest as the most frightening experience was just about to happen.

Loud growls echoed in the entire forest. Marceline started to panic. An intense fear could be seen in her emerald eyes.

Another growl reverberated in the forest as if the creatures were communicating with each other. This time the sound was going near her hiding spot.

Marceline stayed rooted in her spot just watching her young self cowering in fear as two giant wolves appeared in front of her. They both had gray fur.

The young Marceline was trembling in fear. She felt like she was about to die and be eaten by these giant wolves.

She wanted to scream for help but she couldn't. Her intense fear already affected her ability to speak. Her tears started to fall, feeling helpless.

In her current state, her situation was hopeless- a powerless child being trapped by two giant wolves, just waiting for her to be devoured by them.

In a flash, one wolf charged in her direction, pouncing on her and trapping her in that tree.

The big bad wolf didn't waste time as it buried its sharp teeth on Marceline's small shoulder.

"No! No!!!" Marceline watched her young self in horror as she was bitten by the big wolf.

She could still vividly remember the excruciating pain she felt at that time. It was so painful that she fainted.

At that time, she almost thought that she would meet her end, thinking she was too young to die.

But a miracle happened. She didn't die that night. She survived but that incident left her with a deep scar in her heart along with a nightmare that continued haunting her until she grew up.

On that same night, she lost her parents. They were the ones who didn't survive. But their sacrifice was all worth it since their beloved daughter was alive.

Meanwhile, Kira was so focused on consuming her blood that he failed to notice that the lady lying on the bed was currently trapped in her darkest dream.

As he continued sucking her blood, he could feel that his strength was returning. It did not take long when he heard a soft moan.

The sleeping beauty was slowly waking up. She started moaning at the feel of his lips sucking on her neck. For some unknown reason, Kira suddenly felt hot as if his body was responding and getting affected by her soft moans.

He was about to lose his self-control when suddenly...

"Ah, what the hell?! Go away you f*cking pervert!!!"

*Pak!*

*Thud!*

A loud smacking sound resonated in the entire room followed by a loud thud.. Someone fell off the bed.
