1 Prologue

Countless burning stars dotted in the darkened sky and the breeze noiselessly passed as Van slowly walks inside the alleyway. Reaching the end of it, he saw the guard blocking the entrance. He showed an invitation card that allows him to get in.

Disco balls hang at the ceiling, the banging music dominates the place and his eyes catch the glances of young ladies. Not noticing the moments had passed, drinking beverage, dancing, flirting, the intense heat brought them at the abandoned apartment across the road.

The two passionately kiss. His hands at her chest and hers were in between in his thighs. He tried to calm down the intense lady, but she opposed it as she holds his waist against hers. Not having the choice, Van just goes with the flow and closed his eyes as the woman pleasures him. The woman tries to reach the zipper at the back of her dress with her left hand only to reveal the hidden nature. Nails suddenly grew into a claw, the eyes slowly turning into red and the flesh of her back is deliberately stretching out.

She releases Van and he took a heavy breath as he tried to look away from the woman, but she insists and tries to captivate him with her red eyes.

Curious as to why she stopped and glancing at her, he feels a twitch inside of him, it was more like an emotion-filled with harmful intent though he feels that it resides itself for a certain purpose. He’s having these twitch for the past few months, starting his seventeenth birthday.

Thinking that the charm has affected him, her claws suddenly rose high and it swiftly tries to land it to Van. On the halfway, she stops as she could feel something stuck on her stomach.

Her eyes widened as she lowered her head, witnessing a broken wood stuck on her stomach. She tried to retaliate but Van punch her in the face and followed by another jab at her chest. Her heart skipped a beat as she lurched back, away from him.

Realizing the unknown feature of Van, her wings grew out at her back. She aimlessly flies, weakened by the wound. She thought that she’s safe but a continuous clanging of chain gripped tight her feet and was fiercely thrown at the wall. She screams in horror as her wings ripped out of her flesh. She begs but the voice did not reach to the madman, instead, he replied with chain pulping her neck, she tried to grab him, but he quickly presses it and a heartful cracks of bones could be heard.

The sun finally kissed down the surface, as it reached the building, the presence of the young man cannot be seen but a certain shadow unveils from the darkness.
