"You’re quite the prey," he said, his voice sounding distorted, it brought chills to my bones. I was paralyzed where I was, unable to move, fear overca my body rendering helpless.
"This should have just been over quietly... Your dark knight was quite a handful..."
I froze at his words, he said dark knight, was he talking about Mint?
"W-W-What d-did you do to him" I stamred as my fist clenched against my skirt, tears leaking from my eyes at the thought of sothing happening to Mint, I didn’t know anything about him but yet my heart still ached.
"W-What did you do to Mint"
"Odd I thought dark knights were naless," he said tilting his head to the side, his words, his tone was all blank, no emotion to it.
"Now..." he grabs his arrow behind.
"Ti to die", he stationed his bow.
My heart skipped a beat as I drew back.
"W-Why do you want to kill ?" I asked in tears.
He didn’t say a word, as he dragged the arrow, pointing at .
My chest rose and fell as panic filled my lungs, the tears gushing out more, was I really going to die out here, alone without knowing why? Why was this happening to ... I was of no worth for this, I haven’t done anything wrong.
Suddenly the wind blew harshly, it beca so chilly that each breath I took brought cold air. It was odd because it wasn’t snowing nor was the weather set for the season, where was this chilly air coming from, and what was causing it.
The Nightshade seed curious himself, I could see it in his black eyes, confusion flushed them, he turned behind him.
And before I knew it I dash away as fast as I could not looking back, I raised my skirt so that I could run faster.
Run Sylvia... run! I ntally urged myself as a ans of courage to keep running no matter what... and then I realized how much I wanted to live at this point, how much I wanted to keep going, I HAD no intention of dying out here, alone... with no reason at all, I refuse to die,
Duck! When the thought ca to , my eyes went wide, the hairs at the back of my neck stood up, and then I sensed it coming fast, I gasped instantly ducking.
An arrow slamd on the tree, my wide eyes on it because that sa arrow almost took my head.
I turned when I heard the tree bending, it got louder and bolder which could only an it wasn’t one Nightshade, there were more after .
I forced my body up, as I ran, I had no intention of giving up that easily, I panted... the tree noises becoming louder and closer... and then I tripped, squeaking as I slamd the ground hard.
I gave a low cry of pain, my ankle hurt... I must have twisted it, I held onto it tightly as the pain beca unbearable, hearing the noise again I turned in a panic, my eyes trying to make out what was coming but everywhere was already dark I could barely see a thing now.
I panicked as I crawled backward, my back slamd against a tree, my chest rising and falling with panic, I could see shadows of the Nightshades coming but I couldn’t tell how many, I heard landing sounds, they must have co down from the tree... and then footsteps... They were approaching now.
"How on earth did she dodge your arrow?"
I heard a distorted voice, it ca from one of them.
"I don’t know... forget that let’s get this over with!"
My breath caught, I was really done for this ti, there was nowhere to run to, I was completely surrounded and they were really keen on ending this, I was going to DIE!
I shut my eyes close as I felt the arrows were about to co... Papa! That was my thought, I wish I could see him again.
Cedric!
Suddenly I heard snapping sounds, breaking... breaking! Not just breaking... it was the sound of bones breaking... and next shouts and screams.
I flushed my eyes open, what was happening! I couldn’t see anything but I saw fast movent.
I squeaked when a dead body of a Nightshade was flung to my side, I looked away because it was horrifying.
The continuous sound of breaking and snapping continued, it made feel lightheaded.

"Burn!" I heard a sonorous voice that almost sounded demonic, and it was familiar.
I broke out of my thoughts when suddenly one of the Nightshades went on fire, screaming as he burned and then his neck was snapped, he dropped to the ground, the fla disappearing.
I jolted when I heard a growl, was I saved by an animal? I couldn’t tell but it spoke there was no way it would be one, then who was it or what was it.
Like the full moon knew I required vision, it shone where we were, illuminating the area.
I gasped when I saw the multiple bodies on the ground, all dead... and then my eyes landed on a standing figure, from the posture it was a man and the clothing they were... my eyes went wide... They were Cedric’s!
He held onto a Nightshade by the throat who tried to break free and then the neck was snapped, I jolted at the sound, the body dropped to the ground in a loud thud sound.
My trembling eyes fixed on his bloody claw... My lips quivered when I saw them, a claw! More like his nails were longer than normal... but that wasn’t all... when Cedric turned to , a deep shiver ran down my spine as I took in the sight before .
Bits of blood against his features but that wasn’t entirely it, his canines were extended, reaching his lower lip like a beast... and his eyes I saw no color in them... just pitch black and beneath his eyes were black bags, the moonlight reflecting on his pale skin, it wasn’t the usual pale I knew this was like the moonlight itself.
