"As a day well spent brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death."

In the middle of the night, I had woken up, feeling sweat dripping down my body, I had to get up to let some fresh air hit me,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcomLxmYEVb
Once I opened my curtains to open the windows, I realized it isn't the middle of the night, the sun hadn't risen yet, but I could see the shine of it already,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjndBXiM48S
I opened the windows and let in a deep breath,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvK1MX5Brv
The cold air grazed my soft cheeks as if they were daggers against them,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iYrsjHO5E
I had tried to stretch while I was in front of the window, but an unsettling feeling had set in again,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVrVIkzkO9
My body was being conscious of its surrounding, even the sunrise couldn't help to make the feeling of being watched less creepy,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNZ6ZmmjqQ
I had a very bad feeling deep in my gut,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12yj1DOewH
and my guts are usually right,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhFd611E94
the cold fresh air swooshed my hair around, I didn't fail to catch sight of something move deep in the shadows in the forest, it was a place that belonged to Cian, who other than Cian could be there?
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF6XB0YDOv
It could have been simply Cian there, but that's not the feeling I would have gotten if he had secretly watched me,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvSPNbg9TB
No, this feeling was not a pleasant one,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP3NT0tXuz
This one is when your every action is watched to see a flaw in, so they could attack once there is an opening,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8svVegpaow
With the eerie air of the unknown wrapped around me, I pulled my black cloak out, hiding my whole body to not be identified, I pulled my big hood over my head, I decided to crawl out of my window with my twin blades attached to my wrists,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zpeCPwbvD
The moment my feet were about to touch the ground, I had whispered a spell to slowly put me on the ground.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M7CJ9MsTR
Easy spells could be learned having the right amount of power even for a human, so I could easily do this anytime, it was quicker than walking,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOtNz9YKau
Looking around, I slowly crept through the shadows of the forest,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY9YQa7uSM
The forest was darker than the outside since the sun hasn't risen yet, but to begin with, the forest looked like a place where no sun could shine through, the trees were overgrown, if you were barefoot you would feel the wild plants around your toes, very uncomfortably, I had no idea how Cian could shift here,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6uo72P4pC
The trees swooshed and swayed as a strong wind passed through the silent forest, I had arrived at a small clearing, making my way to the middle,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnzeeS5NPs
I had nothing to lose, and I sure as hell wasn't scared of anyone,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduESua46iE
I closed my eyes momentarily as I felt a presence surrounding me,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUQCTTuonN
I opened my eyes under my hood, they could never identify me unless I willed it, of course in this case it wouldn't work for Cian, but this wasn't Cian,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUuIRQlh76
They were other creatures,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguxezZ3aez
There were 5 of them, at least 5 that I could see,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0EiR43yCh
By the looks of it, the first one was a vampire, she had her fangs bare and her pale complexion gave it away, her red eyes glistening in the dark,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LuA4ugiHR
The second one was a werewolf, his half shifted body had gave away his identity as did his bulkiness,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRVZXRIfae
The third one was a curious one, I hadn't seen one face to face, but his skin had been scaly like a fish, if I had to guess he came from the ocean, a merman,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJNKSYXYJR
The fourth one had a dark complexion, she was beautiful with grey eyes and fiery hair, the dark skin and fiery hair had given her identity away too,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqWHYFKopX
Now the fifth one, her stare alone was icy, her blue eyes, white hair, her whole body looked like she came out of ice. She wasn't exactly hard to guess.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUHoHLadQJ
What they didn't know is that who they are facing isn't as kind as king Cian,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9zsDR2Nx5
They all suddenly lunged at me,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaLyHditJ0
these amateurs,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mm3DWr8bq
Smirking under my hood, I instantly stuck one of my twin blades in the head that belonged to the fire lady, and as she stared at her friends in shock, I had used her head as a way to get myself out of the group killing strategy, it just happened to be that I thought I needed a good grip to flip out of the group of idiots,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JDTQ4NAwx
The werewolf screamed in agony,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Rrjs7otd
"Oh, so that was your mate" I answered with humor in my voice to taunt him,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNKL6K5bnc
An expression of hatred rose through his eyes, he lunged at me, aiming for my heart,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDnLjm1YwT
I bet he thinks he could get my heart out,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB63OoI65i
Without moving from my place, I grabbed his other hand and cut of the one reaching towards my chest, the hand toppled away on the ground as he screamed in pain, this time for his hand,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEiFWTMrfH
"What is your business here, who dares to enter his majesty's property"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusaCFsBu5x
As the three others watched me, slowly backing away, trying to make it as secret as they could, shook their heads in terror as my other blade had met his right eye, my sharp blade stuck in his skull momentarily, I had managed to get his eye out of its sockets, the eye had stuck to my blade as I used my other hand to get it off of my blade,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniYZcHnvqD
I let him go, I wanted him to die slower than the others, to think there is hope for him that he would survive,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM8vRqhIW9
I ran towards the other three as they turned back to run away from me,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZgr25dD2g
I had stabbed one of them quickly in the back where his spine was, then pushed him away hard on the ground, his head meeting a lucky rock, knocking him out instantly while he slowly bled out,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFKQgcFdSy
The two other girls had been running next to each other, pulling each other to run quicker than the other in hope to distract me, little did they know they are both in the palm of my hands,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnMquLpIK4
I had quickly jumped towards them and caught up with them, I grabbed their hairs and slammed their heads to each others', one of them quickly passed out while the other one fell to the ground,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyQpBLNIVa
"Answer my fucking question, lowlife"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHlOpEYL0u
The white haired girl coldly stared at me, life slowly draining from her, her eyes rolled back as her mouth hung open with foam building up in her mouth,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2pf2sEit2
She was dead,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cKP5VkOZe
I looked around her body, as I saw her hand clutching around something tightly,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfatngqx9sP
I pried it open with so much force, cutting myself in the process,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmNT1shqKV
She had a syringe in her palm with it completely empty, a drop of poison had seeped into my new wound,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUMjCWAEV0
It was nothing I couldn't handle, but it was going to hurt regardless,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw8Lhhzpwr
I threw her away as I slowly stood up, the wind hitting my sweaty skin,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN3JjXaqoo
the wind had grown warmer so it seemed like it was past sunrise,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cICPlkNCB
My hood slightly revealed my nose and lips, still covering my eyes, I didn't have to worry, it was coated with magic, my identity was hidden,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFQQuCHPy2
I heard a crunch behind me, and the small whiff of my mate's scent had hit me,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePkKvzjqOa
Cian was here and a magic cloak is not going to work on him,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzP0GQrwrJ
I was a great distance away, he shouldn't be able to smell my scent, especially mixed with the masking scent I have on me, but I couldn't risk it,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hb5YdeGxo
I pulled my hood down further as my cloak swayed around with the wind, I couldn't risk it, he could catch my scent with how strong the wind is,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9q3xqsvXF
As quick as I had appeared, I had disappeared just as quickly, catching a brief sight of Cian as I made eye contact from afar with him, his godly carved face set into a dangerous scowl as he tried to catch me,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdM2dJs96
But I was gone,
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hS3TOrWII
