Chapter 77: Nightmares (1)

Nights in this world lend themselves to murder. No, daytime does too.

Because here the nights tend to be a bit strange. Sometimes, they are lonely, but music and bustle take over the night when things are celebrated in the cities.

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.

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...
