SUNSET TILL SUNRISE

CHAPTER 1

The country town lied at the foot of a hill. The red and orange sunset colored the houses and the streets.

The water of the fountain in the square shined of golden reflections.

The old bell-tower struck seven o' clock, and the birds flew away.

Out of the town there was an old house, the first built in that place, deserted since one hundred years.

It was a strange: originally it was yellow with three floors, a slated roof and twelve big windows, but in the long run it was modified, with more rooms and four towers.

Now it was all neglected, the delphinium and the herbages obstructed the avenue.

There is a story about this house: one day similar as this, at the sunset, precisely one hundred years ago, three children heard screams from the house, for one hour then.

Finally, they succeeded to open the door, and the cry of agony stopped.

The three children were the friends of the girl that lived in that house, a sixteen years old girl.

With she lived also her parents, and her mother's sister with her two sons.

However, the friends of the girl explored the house, and they went into the bedroom.

Only a child came back.

A woman found him at the sunset, near the fountain in the square.

Her face flushed with horror, the big green eyes of the child was gone.

There were only two red pearl eyes in exchange.

His last words were: " The... bedroom..."

After that he couldn't say another word and he went in a psychiatric hospital, and the next year he was gone.

Exactly like two guys that had tried to understand what happened.

Those two, the day that the children disappeared, in the house they had found sixteen eyes, in a cake disk in the girl bedroom.

There weren't only her incredible golden eyes.

Since that day, one person every year was gone, and found only the eyes, even in that cake disk.

Every year.

The three girl that listened shuddered.

" Kairi" said Naminè " Don't you think that's too horrible? That story can't be real!"

Yuffie laughed " You' re such a funk, Nami!"

" Ehi, it was you who tremble!"

" I? Tremble? Impossible! I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie!"

Laghts

" You know..." said Oret " I had already heard this story, from Sora, and I think it's real"

Everyone stared at her.

" See, Sora told me that he had seen the drawings of the children survived"

She made a pause

"He had drawn the pool of blood, and..other similar things..."

Everybody silent for a moment.

Kairi smiled. "Bad sign" thought Naminè

"Why you smile?" asked Yuffie

"You know how find if it's real or no?"

" No" answer Oret and Yuffie. Naminè sighed

" Go to see it!"
