Chapter 1 Prologue

'Run!'

That little voice in her mind screamed as she blindly stumbled along the rocky path of some forest in the middle of nowhere. Parts of her pink kimono were torn when she passed through thick branches, the cloth caught in it. The soles of her feet were starting to burn with each step she made. Her knees started to tremble as fatigue attacked her fragile body. Add to that, her kimono constricted even the slightest movement she attempted.

She wanted to stop and let her pursuers capture her just to end the physical torture that she was going through right now, but her mind screamed otherwise. She knew that if they capture her, she will definitely experience a more hellish pain compared to what she was feeling right now.

BANG

Adrenaline surged in her system as the sound of a gun shot filled the air. This gave her an all new reason to run faster. Putting aside all the pain her body is suffering from, she dashed through the deep forest, not minding the cuts and scrapes she acquired in the process.

Finally, she saw a clearing. The sight set fire to her hopes that she might find someone who can help her in her desperate race against the unknown beyond the dark. She never dared to look back. Struggling with every inch of life left in her body, she ran towards the clearing only to find her hopes shattered.

A cliff.

'Dead end…'

She heard the sounds of footsteps closing in; it was deafening. As she faced the forest which had led her to demise, she unconsciously stepped backward nearing the edge of the cliff.

Five men in black suits with matching black shades emerged from the forest.

'The jury…'

The man in the middle gave her an evil smile, taunting her and her predicament, as if telling her that all the efforts she put on escaping from them was useless. He raised his right hand with a cold, black pistol in tow.

'The verdict… Death.'

She knew then and there that the hunt has already reached its climax. And nearing its gruesome end. They were the predators and she was the prey.

The young lady took another step backward as the man pointed the gun to her. Within seconds, she felt the ground beneath her gave way as a second gun shot was heard during that night. An intense pain shot right through her, piercing her flesh.

Her light blue locks played with the gushing wind as she fell backwards into the abyss of raging waters. Her purple eyes glazed over as she felt the sharp needles that seemed to pierce her skin as soon as she came into contact with the deep waters. She tried so hard to stay conscious, pushing her mind to the limits. She tried to remember all the things that let to this.

An image of a sinister man came in her vision. She thought of how he shattered the life of her brother, and how he now managed to destroy her own. Slowly, she closed her eyes, surrendering to the pain. The image of crimson blood spreading in the water was the last thing she saw.

At least, she would not feel pain any longer.
