Justin's POV

"Justin! We're getting late! You better get hurry!" my older sister, Melissa, shouted as she knocked on my door hardly. Damn, she's so annoying! I mean, I know what I'm going to do. She didn't need to shout on me. Well, I'm not yet done with my homework in Mathematics. I need to finish this in a minute. At last, I closed my notebook and put it back on my bag as I finished answering the problems. Melissa didn't care so much when it comes to studies as she focuses herself in practicing her vocal cords.

I soon got out from my room, closing the blue-painted door behind me carefully, until, "Whoah! Will you please stop doing that?!" I scolded at our younger sister, Christina, who always made fun of me. She's only nine years of age and dad let her study in night, like me and my older sister did in our primary years. She just ran downstairs where Melissa is waiting.

"Why are you late again?" she asked as her purple eyes looked mine.

"I'm not done with my homework yet so I had to finish it. Also, you don't need to shout outside my room, sis!" I said coldly then proceeded outside where our car is ready. The car travelled for about 15 minutes since there's no shortcut and we need to pass the woods.

"Justin, meet me at the exit this 1:00 o'clock so that we can go home together. The three of us, okay?" she said as she hopped out from the car, holding Christina on her hand. I sighed like I don't care and got out from the vehicle. I looked up from the sky, where it is starting to get dark as black clouds started to cover the beautiful twilight.

"Haruna, we're going now! We're going to meet you here by 12:30. Good luck!" I heard a voice near me coming from the tall girl with purple hair said cheerfully as she walked towards the large school with a boy with her. They waved their goodbyes to my only classmate, Haruna Sakamaki who smiled at them. She sighed and walked slowly towards the door, now wearing a sad face.

She is always like this, a bit weird and quiet while in class, she is the person who questions our teacher always about the lesson so she could understand it clearly. Also, she had a strange scent, as if she's not a normal girl. I'm not saying she's abnormal, but, she's probably like us. The Sakamakis are very powerful family and I want to study them.

"In some cultures, they believed that if a blood moon appears, it is a sign that a witch is awakened from its hundred year sleep, coming from the Underworld. Some priestesses believe that the best way to drive the witch was to do a ritual and to summon a Valkyrie's Circle, which is a magic circle with white aura, opposing the black ones." as expected, Haruna raised her right hand again, ready to ask some questions again.

"Yes, Sakamaki?"

"Ma'am, how did the witch awakened? Did some people tried to wake her up from her nutshell?" she asked innocently.

"To answer your question, yes. Some theories said that vampires supposed to summon the witch's spirit. They used the blood of the certain girl to make an essence to revive the witch so that it will turn the world in eternal darkness."

"But, how do they summon the Valkyrie's circle? The magic circle, I mean?" she asked again while taking notes of our teacher's notes.

"It was only called Valkyrie's circle 'cause its appearance was similar to that Viking's circle. Class dismissed! We'll continue this tomorrow, Ms. Sakamaki," the teacher said as she walked away.

************************************************************************************************************************************We are on our way to home when suddenly, Haruna came in my mind, her different scent. "Melissa? Your close friend with Haruna, right? Do you find anything strange about her?" I asked my sister as she talked to Christina.

"Haruna, she is the kindest person you'll ever meet. She is shy but when she gain friends, she is very talkative. Don't you talk to her and why are you asking?" she said.

"Oh, it's nothing. Don't mind about it." I replied. There is really something strange about her and she also looked familiar to me as if I met her a long time ago.
