I opened my eyes to the tall, clean ceiling. It was no different from any other morning… or so I thought.When I turned, my little wolf was staring at me. Her gaze… was a mix of worry and a strange pity, making my heart tighten. But… am I imagining it? How can she look at me after I stole her eyes last night?
Hmm…I felt my head spinning, as if I had been fighting all night in a dense fog against a ghostly enemy I could not touch no matter how hard I tried.Ugh… I need to tell my mother that tea doesn't help with sleep, it only makes it worse.
I tried to get up. I took a few hesitant steps out of bed, before losing my balance and falling miserably, making my body scream in pain. I clung to the bed, got up with difficulty, and then started moving toward the door.
I opened it slowly, to find the dark hallway stretching before me as if it were just an ordinary scene… but the ordinary was no longer here. No one was there.I gathered my courage and walked… my steps collided with the haunting silence.Where did everyone go?
When I reached the main door, I placed my hand on the handle, and suddenly…My memories began racing with my breaths. I felt the taste of blood fill my mouth even before I saw what was behind the door.
I opened it…There they were. Everyone I had been searching for since waking up. Standing? No… their bodies were waiting for me, staring at me with eyes filled with emotions… or what remained of them. And suddenly, I understood why my little wolf was worried about me.
I smiled unconsciously… I don't know if it was a smile of sympathy for her worry, or from the sheer horror of what I saw.The corpses… suspended in a strange balance. Their upper halves bluish, as if ice had kissed their final faces. From their chests to their necks, deep holes pierced the skin and bone, leaving a bloody trail crawling on the ground.
Hahaha…I remembered.Last night… I wasn't asleep. I was trapped, forced to watch all of this happen before me. They were all slaughtered in this way.Rohan… Jian… Venus… I'm sorry.
I felt a hot liquid mixing with the cold tears on my face. Black blood came out of my mouth… I could no longer see. Perhaps because the trace of my stealing my wolf's eyes disappeared… or perhaps because my heart had just been pierced.
The last thing I heard… was the howl of a fierce wolf defending me, and a deep voice whispering the name of an old friend
