"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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNIaMPmP0F
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVpv8oaTqG
I opened the windows and let in a deep breath,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZw8kejyo
The cold air grazed my soft cheeks as if they were daggers against them,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9QkyzZfLf
I had tried to stretch while I was in front of the window, but an unsettling feeling had set in again,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAJfyAoFWE
My body was being conscious of its surrounding, even the sunrise couldn't help to make the feeling of being watched less creepy,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Rel0fEFp
I had a very bad feeling deep in my gut,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS9Quiu3Br
and my guts are usually right,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR83HX9rdxR
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?
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvKAWvAlEF
It could have been simply Cian there, but that's not the feeling I would have gotten if he had secretly watched me,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg1ZqXyPVX
No, this feeling was not a pleasant one,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeaKsRp64W
This one is when your every action is watched to see a flaw in, so they could attack once there is an opening,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12EKKuRz0o
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDU66ANBja
The moment my feet were about to touch the ground, I had whispered a spell to slowly put me on the ground.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqy846y5fh
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNLl7WA8mk
Looking around, I slowly crept through the shadows of the forest,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz72rYTDsmx
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9VxML4XgN
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7KmhHG2K2
I had nothing to lose, and I sure as hell wasn't scared of anyone,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdA9tSAKGz
I closed my eyes momentarily as I felt a presence surrounding me,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zTUJMxw20
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkK49k5dax
They were other creatures,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUIpGARzB8
There were 5 of them, at least 5 that I could see,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZiYsaireq
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhoVifpsFB
The second one was a werewolf, his half shifted body had gave away his identity as did his bulkiness,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7utDMkOWk9
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVP9adusB5
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oFu6gNbJH
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF62IPPFWg
What they didn't know is that who they are facing isn't as kind as king Cian,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1uVKPSeY
They all suddenly lunged at me,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwL1EF81FH
these amateurs,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z0LxcYXMj
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYUFWUlJEQ
The werewolf screamed in agony,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsnNHsbHUR
"Oh, so that was your mate" I answered with humor in my voice to taunt him,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Yb8gRx0f
An expression of hatred rose through his eyes, he lunged at me, aiming for my heart,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIb0jgIhWf
I bet he thinks he could get my heart out,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXxj8TQC1G
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXGuyd40g7
"What is your business here, who dares to enter his majesty's property"
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUJlL2e9ZQ
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dKrGmlBwO
I let him go, I wanted him to die slower than the others, to think there is hope for him that he would survive,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdoH4xRa5O
I ran towards the other three as they turned back to run away from me,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY76OdxJjeu
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttPgQrPFoK
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaZXjcL7WB
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVUkFf5NyQ
"Answer my fucking question, lowlife"
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwCKm7qAhj
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwKPX5yNxe
She was dead,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbVcIpdegS
I looked around her body, as I saw her hand clutching around something tightly,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5W9GEW6MA
I pried it open with so much force, cutting myself in the process,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS88AwyPym
She had a syringe in her palm with it completely empty, a drop of poison had seeped into my new wound,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjeZFZW9VG
It was nothing I couldn't handle, but it was going to hurt regardless,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0yQ71zLNH
I threw her away as I slowly stood up, the wind hitting my sweaty skin,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURmglNoxNh
the wind had grown warmer so it seemed like it was past sunrise,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoH6jn7QMx
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iPZDSdrED
I heard a crunch behind me, and the small whiff of my mate's scent had hit me,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejrxuGsFVo
Cian was here and a magic cloak is not going to work on him,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPDJ3SWr1P
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg0IMivBEv
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMrjiVl0Jv
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,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9ctun7r2w
But I was gone,
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSPTKhLh1W
