C7 Strange Beauty

Two days had passed since Mariya come to understand the trapped in this Village, such as what appeared to be a Woods that makes someone like her goes lose.

During those length of time, Mariya pondered everything that happened more carefully and cautiously as ever. Although that was the case, she continued familiarizing the Village by the assistance of the soul's reader Dana. During that time, she learned the mysterious trapping surrounded the Village, and how one can easily lost or in danger if they aren't cautious as ever. Apparently, every border that consist the Village has different source of trapping that was deadly to the extreme.

Having known those thing, Mariya, as cautious as ever, shivered and doing everything she can to unravel the weakness of the trap that was sprouting terror in her heart. Amidst her suspicion, something happened at the surface of the mountain top. Strangely, no one have notice the bizzareness, not even a most powerful entity nor the Alpha resided at the top of nowhere and overseeing the Village and the world around.

It was a bloody eyed surrounding the bloody fog! There, in that particular area, the land was feel so extremely strange. One time, when a Bird fly with a speed that surpass everyone in the Village through that Bloody fog, it suddenly turned to a halt. And then a few second, a bloodcurdling shrieked could be heard that was with terror and undescribable pain. A blurp could be followed, and the Bloody eyed transformed into having a part that surround it, a paled face of a young man.

And the Bird, it was nowhere to be seen again.

This strange event continue on, and was left with bizarre presence that soon reach to everyone in the Village. However, everytime a transformation occur, Mariya begun to fell asleep for a sudden. And when she fell to sleep, she feel like she will never to wake up once again. The strange thing was, she was reminded once again of her Grandma.

As if it once been wipe out from her memory...

Before the event of the death of her Grandma, she spoke a strange words, “The truth was that in reality... your 18th Birthday is yet to come.” Her eyes filled with grief, as if having a 18th birthday is a bad thing. “During that time...I'm afraid you will never again waking up. It's my fault... I take you away from him... He could have done something...”

Mariya have thought that her Grandma just overthinking and was, in fact, consumed by stress that moment. So she hug her, the last hug she ever give to her Grandma. If she ever have known, she would never put it to end and just embrace her Grandma for all eternity. Then there was inside her, laughing to what was the reality that her Grandma just spoken. Wasn't she already eighteen last month?

“Grandma never lie...” Mariya thought and she begun to pant harder when she just realized that now. “And if I remembered just fine, Grandma also told me that the 18th birthday suppose to happened during that Bloody Moon. But was this world has that Bloody Moon that Grandma just talking about...?”

The next moment, Mariya try to never again to fall asleep whatever it takes, yet the invisible force makes it impossible. She was stumble and Dana almost couldn't believe what was wrong with her. It feels like she was fighting a dragon when in fact, she was just a fly that couldn'd fly high.

To fight the feeling of asleep, Mariya once again familiarize the Village, but now she was standby at the place where news can travel through easily. At this place, every kind of people can be seen through. There bunch of beauty that receive the possible customers with a high status in this Village or beyond.

One moment, a young man with a red robe passed through the entrance. Mariya was strolling around when she suddenly meet a single gaze at the young man. For unknown reason, this young man have been on her tail since the moment she strolling around. Was this a coincidence?

Mariya just not mind her overthinking and focusing on how to make sure not to fall asleep the moment of her 18th birthday. She thought on just leaving the place that was smelled beverages, but as she was near the exit, she feel once again her body becoming hard to control.

The truth was that she doesn't sure when was it, her birthday. She only know that in reality, her Grandma has been keeping it from her for some unknown reason that was not important, but her Grandma only have told her the thing about Bloody Moon. But this world have never shown with a single moon since she make it through here, the fog was cover the sky and it was hard to peek through. But there's possibilitty that left her panting, which was the Bloody Moon only appeared in the world she was once belong.

“How long I'll stop myself from falling asleep...?”

Meanwhile, a young man dressed in red robe finally entered the Pub. He scanned around once and appeared to be glad to see through what he was searching for. The moment his eyes shone with strange light, the blackness that once there appeared to be clad with redness, which bloody to the extreme.

The very young man has a beauty that no other ordinary man can have, so his entrance was eye catching. His eyes was circled and stained with red, yet it appeared to be black in color now. It was gaze through a young woman who seemed struggle with something near the exit of Pub.

The young man halted when, suddenly, a beauty appeared infront of him. The young man appeared to be annoyed, yet the beauty starting to make him trapped through her every holes.

“What a beauty...” the beauty murmured. “Sir, will you like to have a table with me?”

The Beauty was smiling from ears to ears as she uttered those words in secret through the young man. Her eyes flickered with excitement to what was going to happened when this man fall through her every scheme. Every gaze of her eyes can be deadly, with exception of those she was going to like, which was head over heel to her Beauty. This Pub was really a paradise for her, easy to hunt with beauty like this man in front of her.

What this Beauty didn't expected was, despite the cheapest of the Pub, sometimes a powerful man could passed by and may end her own paradise. To make this young man to be one of her adonis, she secretly going so far on even used a Black magic to make everyone believe that they have never been on any near contacts.

The Beauty seemed to be dumstruck by the naturalities of this young man, and no one could blame her for that. Yet, every man that fall victim to her lust or just simply greediness of beauty was finally find justice to be stored inside this Beauty of a woman. On the other hand, the young man that was cool as ever walked through the table near the exit.

As for that Beauty woman, she was shiver behind the empty table, while blood flows through the every holes of her body. Her eyes shown with desbelief and those with terror as she grasping for her very last breathe. Regrets was evidently appeared in her eyes before her body soon to become nothing more than ash...
