Pathetic…
You've already let compassion delude you…
… Idiot…
Caedes had awoken earlier than everybody else. His room was an aura blue due to the bright moon light. Caedes lay in his futon awake, thinking about yesterday and that he hadn't had decent food in a long time.
Cassandra walked up to the chopper, its blades spinning on its axis ready for takeoff. The engine roared as Cassandra stepped in and the engine began to pick up speed as it lifted into the air. The huntress assembled the weapons that were given to her for the mission, sitting quietly by herself as the she slid the metallic magazine into her pistol, making a click sound she pulled back on top part of the gun and let go, making it snap back into its original state. An elderly man entered the same room "Is this all?" he said looking around, Cassandra answered, not taking her eyes off what she was doing "The Director ordered me to the job to work solo. He doesn't want to attract attention from the citizens… If there are any…" The huntress placed the last weapon in its holster.
The rain poured down heavily from the sky. A chateau sat silent among the distant mountains of France, police cars were positioned outside of it. "Two adults were murdered just an hour ago." The chief captain informed to the detective next to him "We have our squad scouting the household."
"Disgusting" One man said to his colleagues, witnessing the mutilated bodies of what seemed to be a husband and his wife. The husband had had several areas of skin torn from his body and his eyes had been pulled out, black liquid oozing from the sockets. The wife had had all the sharp kitchen utensils stabbed into her, plus the bottom jaw ripped out. "More like repulsive" another man loaded his gun and proceeded "Be careful Vince!" "Roger!"
Vince walked down a deserted hallway quietly, the floor creaking with each step he took. Childish sobs echoed down the hallway. A thumping sound occurred on an oak door nearby, with a pretty sign on that said: Rouge. Vince got his radio "Bravo one, this is Bravo two. I have come to a conclusion that the victims had a daughter… respond." The radio fuzzed out and another voice sounded "This is Bravo one, I'm on my way." Vince opened the door, it appeared empty, and the room had an eerie feeling to it. A flash of lightning blinded Vince for a split second, a girl was now sitting on the floor in front of him, covering her hands with her face.
… More…?
Lightning crackled again and she disappeared. The captain ran in "Vince!"
…Excors humanitas…
"Huh?" Vince reached for his pistol "Where are you?" The captain stared at the ceiling hearing the foreign words echo around the room "She's speaking in Latin!" Vince pointed his weapon at the captain "Sir!" "What are you doing!" "Sir it's not me!" the captain reached for his radio "I'm calling back up!" Another flash of light blinded them. A small figure with long hair now stood between them on the ceiling.
… What back up…?
Several bodies fell from nowhere and onto the ground. "No!" "What's happening!"
… A nightmare…
Vince's arms relaxed, but pointed it to his temple "This can't be happening…" yet another flash of lightning blinded them for a split second. The girl-like-figure now stood at the doorway, the door now open with all of the lights were fading from on to off and the window slammed open. The strong wind made the velvet curtains flap back and forth.
… Please die…
"What's taking them so long?" The detective questioned the man in charge, before he could say any more, blood chilling screams could be heard outside, alongside a gun being fired continuously.
Nana was washing her share of the plates that morning… Until she kept coming across strong splotches which using unnecessary force to try clean those off she kept smashing them. "Um, say; maybe you should do the shopping instead?" Mayu always knew washing wasn't exactly Nana's thing.
Exiting the kitchen Mayu called out to her "Oh! And why don't you take that boy with you?" "That would be good I guess…" Nana thought for moment "… But what about his horns?"
"Bye!" Closing the door behind her Nana walked out of the garden… With Caedes who was wearing a black leather hat (one of those cowboy ones) following beside her.
"Remember! Be cautious around that thing!" Cassandra jumped out of the chopper wearing a long leather trench coat and some expensive sunglasses "Roger" sliding the door shut she walked off the heli-pad.
Nana sat down on a bench under a tree, she and Caedes had shopped most of the morning. Caedes proved to be useful due to his abnormal strength he managed to carry more stuff than they had planned on buying. They were in a park now taking a break.
"Hm? Sit down" Nana patted a spot on the wooden seat, he nodded and sat.
"You like it? This where I like to enjoy some solitude…" Caedes agreed, it was truly something had never dreamed of seeing, the tree they were under happened to be a cherry blossom tree.
"I-It's amazing…" Nana looked at him, her violet eyes glistening in the faint sunlight "You think so?" Caedes blushed and looked away "Y-Yes…"
Cassandra walked around the busy shopping market, no emotion on her face what so ever. She went to a counter "Excuse me. Have you seen this boy?" She put a photo of Caedes on the desk "well, I don't believe I've seen him around here before…" "Okay…" She withdrew the photo "And this?" She put another photo down "Oh why yes… She's actually quite a regular customer…" "Can you tell me where she is "I don't exactly but… I do remember her heading in the direction of the national park… Just in that direction" The woman pointed to where it was "Thanks" Cassandra walked off, leaving some yen on the desk.
Caedes and Nana had spoke for awhile now. "… And so then I-huh?" Caedes tilted his head, lots of leaves fell off the top of hat "What are these things anyway?" Caedes asked Nana wiping them off "Sakura silly" Caedes kept brushing them off and looked at her not noticing the one on his nose "Just a minute…" Nana reached forward to pick it off, drawing herself closer to him. She picked it up off his nose and showed him it "You forgot this one" Caedes nodded, he was blushing again, they looked deeply into each others eyes and began to slowly draw closer.
Caedes heard a gunshot in the distance. Quickly reaching out with his hand he caught a long, smooth, searing hot object in his hand.
Nana looked at him shocked at why his hand was giving off smoke "W-What happened!" Caedes drew in his hand and opened his clenched fist to reveal a golden lead bullet "Huh?" Caedes jumped in front of her with his arms open "No!" another shot hit him in the head, he fell down bleeding as the bullet that made contact with him fell next to him… Crushed.
