a fire is ignited

in the Saturday day night. the cool air was blown as autumn draw near. inside the city of Italy. people walked and go to places unknown . shop turn their lights and brightening the dark sky. as cars honk. blending in the noises of the passerby as they walk to their destination. the stench of petroleum that is coming out of the cars exhaust pipe was mix with sweat of people and the aroma of delicious food is coming from one of the restaurant. at the top of the sky.

the busy city below looked like tiny stars in the background of the ebony sky. people looked like ants as they walk in columns toward their different destination. in the endless black void. two figures were illuminated by the light that came from below. they stood on the air. looking down the city like an ant hill.

the air blown around them. violent winds swirles around as they stood their unbothered. clothing stayed still. like their standing on a different a dimension. a white bubble surrounded the two like the space is cut. thick white smoke came out of their mouth.

" doesn't this view look nice " a woman with long white hair playfully played with her hair. while wearing something similar to a nun clothing. but some part of the dress is ripped and the leg was exposed for more easier movement. underneath she was wearing white stockings.

the clothing doesn't look like it was made for cool climate especially during the night. but she seems unbothered by it. her skin reflected the moonlight that was coming down the sky. the man was shrouded in darkness as he kept on observing the city below.

—" this is such a nostalgic sight "— as the white vapor escaped his mouth. a man standing around 7'0ft having short black hair

his face looked soft and feminine. his eyes were like a predator. sharp and focused on the object he was observing. his eyes were focused on the small restaurant that was emitting a mouth salivating aroma. his face doesn't portrayed any emotion. as he kept observing while the tempest stormed around them. his appearance looks normal except for the two black horn that is coming out his temple.

while wearing a black cape underneath a black cloak. the belt that was holding the robe looked like black snakes cooling around his waist. he looked more suited to the cold climate but still unprepared for it. but he seems to not cared as the two keep on enjoyed the scene below in silence. then like interrupting their peace. two girl's appeared out of nowhere. one dressed like a victorian princess. with black gothic clothing mix in together with the her pure white skin. her body looked like a dead body as no blood circulated inside of her body. while both of her eyes were covered with a clothe with a emblem sewed on its front.

her figure is more smaller than the pair and looked like around 15 to 12 years old. she looks like a child that recently came out of a movie theater and excited to tell her older sister and dad about her experiences. as she hovered in the air unstrained by gravity. she slowly floated toward the man with the horns. the small figure hugged the man like a loving embraced of a daughter. the man coldly stared down as he didn't try to resist her hug. then her purple hair was yanked by one of the girl that came with her. her short hair was pulled by the doll like hands. the girl that came with her looked like around their late teens and wearing a maid outfit and her golden locks were tied up to a pony tail. while wearing above her maid outfit was black plate of armor of covering her vital part. while her face looked like a doll. the white porcelain skin that blended with her white maid outfit. she was the only one carrying something. a long demonic sword that was placed behind her back.

" maria, why did you do that ! "

the girl in the gothic dress exclaimed while trying to break off the hand firm grasp. as the hand that was holding her suddenly let her go and sent her flying forward. she skated in the air and she abruptly stopped. she looked back and made a annoyed face that is admittedly look cute. face her cheeks were puff out and her hands were place on her hips. as the girl in the gothic black clothing keep on staring at the woman. her face didn't changed but small movement was noticed by the man horned man.—" lily, why are you here ? are you already done with your job? "— her body twisted to face the man and her face looked excited. her face was in a wide grin and the two small fangs poked out—" papa, the preparation is ready "— the girl proclaimed loudly like trying to make him impressed.—"lily, didn't I tell you that stop calling me that "— the men complained. but he was the only that was concerned about it. the girl pouted her cheeks even more and crossing her arms.—" but you told to even stop calling you master "— as she pouted her cheeks even more like a squirrel.—" the men felt uncomfortable. especially that she's brought this topic up around this trouble makers. and not knowing what to do he immediately run away. leaving no traces behind. disappearing like he wasn't their to begin with. there's an couple of second of that blown silent between the the group.

—" lily, this is your fault and you need to take responsibility for your action "— as the white haired woman told her. treating her like a little sister. her eyebrows were furrowed. the one with the maid outfit nodded silently. the little girl slump down in shocked as they both gang in on her while floating in the air. she slumped her torso down like in defeat. the white hair woman walked toward her and patted her head to comfort her. grabbing her hand. she disappeared with the girl with the gothic clothing. the girl wearing the maid outfit shortly followed them as black a Vail covered her entire body and dissolving into the pitch black night.

" this can't be real "

a voice sounded inside of a dark forest. a fleeting sound that quickly dissolved with the sound of the crickets that was chirping their tune. the sunset as the last beam of light slowly disappeared while the sun gone under the horizon. the world was consumed by darkness and the full moon peaked out like it was waiting for it's turn. a man stood on a clearing while being illuminated by the moonlight. the shadows moved like they were alive. the crackling of wood being burn was the only sound that is heard beside the crickets. as the fire flickered Infront of the figure. his was face was lit by the warm and hot fire that kept on raging. the wind tried to blow off the fire but it tries to resist being extinguish. the man shadow was enlarged and distorted because of the fire kept on dancing. the man stood their and didn't moved. his face was frozen in place and his body refused to move. not believing the scene Infront of him. as the house that he lived with his wife is on fire. trying to process what happened while he was away. he was carrying groceries with baby formula and diapers. as his obstetrician recommended to buy these products because his wife was almost going to give birth. as the day ticked down he was anxious and restless. waiting for inevitable day. he started to prepare in advance and taking his time to choice each product. his wife kept the baby gender a secret. so they haven't decided on a name yet. so he bought every product including clothes for both gender and toys for the baby to play with. he painstaking travel to different city with his car. as he was keeping a secret to his wife. trying to avoid places that his face might get recognize. he traveled almost half the country. his wife didn't asked why he was so long whenever he was going out to buy groceries.

in the morning, he left while informing his wife. she seems to not disagree but her face seems trouble as she waved him back. the sunset left a orange afterglow in the horizon as he saw the smoke rise above the forest. he was shocked and panicked. he crashed his car into a tree. he opened the door and ran toward his house. ditching the car as he ran the dirt road with all his might. his lungs burn as he kept forcing his legs to move. the tendons and muscle that was pushing his leg snapped. while ignoring the pain he force his leg push him forward toward the fire. while still carrying the groceries he finally saw his house. the house turned into charcoal. as it continued to be set a blaze.

the roof that fumes black smock, the window pane that supposed to allow you to see the interior of the mansion. is instead replaced by a ocean of flames that blocked your visibility.

a man stood there while he saw his only purpose being burned to ashes.

a blood curling scream is heard from the giant bond fire that sounds female. his mind snapped back but before he made any plans in his mind. his hands dropped the groceries that he still held and sprinted towards the source of the scream.

as he gotten closer he, felt searing heat of flames _

—" how did they found my me? "— his mind was more preoccupied about his wife condition than anything. but he buried those thoughts in his heart and walk forward despite the growing anxiety in his heart. as he walk toward the front door that seems forcibly open as the hinges were lose and not in their original position. he seems to notice but purposely ignore them. as he work himself toward the front door trying his best to ignore the searing pain of the flames that started to boil the water inside of him. putting his arm over his nose and mouth. he crouch down to avoid the inhaling the carbon dioxide. it's because the majority of deaths in house fires is not caused by the flames but smoke inhalation. as he half crouch, half crawled. he started to go toward the center of the house. this is not because of a hunch, but this is where the bomb shelter is hidden for emergency.

he told her wife about this as a precaution because of his past but...

if he doesn't see her their than his heart couldn't handle the truth and he'll loosed something important again . as he hope that she's their. he continued on despite the anxiousness that filled his heart.
