Prologue
Bad Dream!
I got up from lying down. I’m running out of breath. Again, I dreamt of it, the same dream ... the same nightmare. I’m staring blankly at the wall. I once more drifted back.
I shook my head, trying to erase the dream in my mind while I let my body fall on the bed, bouncing me gently for a second. I spread my arms and stared at the ceiling for a few moments before turning my head to the alarm clock. The sound of it made me realize that it’s already eight o’clock in the morning.
I usually get up around 6 a.m., but whenever one of my nightmares comes to visit me, I wake up within two hours. It has been two months since I dreamt about it. I hope I won’t dream about it anymore. I hope it will never come back again—to haunt me.
Tears welled up in my eyes.The hot fluid ran down every side of my cold, pale face. Whimpers came out of my mouth. I don’t want to dream of it again. I can’t bear the agony of it.
No!
Never!
No!
It will never be my fault. No, it’s not me! Not me...

Yuki faces confusion because for him it was very absurd to escape it. “Daro is no longer in his cell. One of your guard men confirmed it to me and I verified what he said was true.” Yuki stood up in his chair in horror. “What? How did he escape?" The fell face expressed in Yuki’s representation. Draze also responded with an identical reaction when he first heard it. “I think someone had helped him to escape. Someone in your man who is a traitor, one of whom you trusted,” Draze muttered seriously. Yuki clasped at the edge of the table. He was angry, and Draze saw it in his uncle’s face. “Tell the three Elemental vampires that Daro escaped from prison. You passed this fastly, it will caus

Vesta slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the white ceiling of the hospital, smelling the antiseptic and bleach combined in the puff of the aircon. She winced when she felt the pain in her head, using her trembling hand she touched her head, feeling the clothes of the bandage wrap around. The flashback of what happened came to here unexpectedly, the man appeared in the road, the screeching of the tires as she steps on the brake, causing her to lose control of her maneuver as she tried not to hit the person, and she crashed on the nearby tree. That's what she had remembered, she could not remember who helped her. Fear crep
