NIGHT

They are having dinner together while watching television.

"$#!? ';$_;," Dave's voice while chewing food.

"Swallow that first, Dave." Alice said that while she was eating next to him.

"Another corpse has been found, and it is just like the previous bodies that were discovered. Up to now, the police still have no clue as to who the culprit is". The reporter's announcement on the television they are watching.

"Sigh, whoever did that should be caught". Dave's voice while eating.

"Turn off that television for a moment; it's ruining the mood," said the old man as he put down his spoon on the plate.

Kagumi pointed the remote at the television and turned it off.

After they ate, they started cleaning up their respective areas.

"Who do you think is behind the murder now?" Hikaru asked Kagumi, who was beside him rinsing the used plate.

"I'm sure it's people with no conscience who do that". Do you think there are others responsible?"

Kagumi spoke while looking at Hikaru.

"Ahhh, no!." Hikaru said while she was shaking the water off her hand.

"Go to sleep after that". Kagumi said as he turned away.

"Don't think about the past anymore, Hikaru; the more you think of it, you won't forget it."

Kagumi said as she was going up to his room.

Hikaru just looked at him with tears in her eyes.

The next day after they woke up.

"Let's eat!" Alice said while putting the food on the table.

"Hey, what's for lunch?" Dave said while drooling.

"Thank you for the food", said Dave after finishing his meal, pressing his palms together.

"Ahhh, I'll be delayed getting home today". Hikaru said while hurriedly putting on her shoes.

"Why? "Alice asked while sitting on the couch and watching television.

"It's our manager's birthday, and the employees were invited. I'm leaving now; I'm going to be late!"

Hikaru's voice as she ran out the door with her shoulder bag hanging from her shoulder.

As time passes

"Ahahahaha, what now? Do you want to play again?" Dave asked his friend at the computer shop, "How much are your bets?" Dave's expression while playing a computer game with headphones on.

"¡Ahhhhh! Just a moment, someone is calling!" Dave's voice as he opens his cellphone

"What's up, Dave!" You're not going home yet!" Alice shouted at Dave while Dave moved the cellphone away from his ear.

"Yes, I'm on my way home". Dave's answer in a soft voice

"Hurry up! It's getting late". Alice shouted at him.

"Okay, okay!." At the same time, he turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.

"Ah, guys, let's just continue this tomorrow; I'll take my bet for now!" simultaneously grabbing the money that was lying there.

"This is so unfair! Just because he knows he's going to lose!"

His friend at the computer shop said, looking at Dave.

"Alice called me, Let's just continue this tomorrow," Dave said while stepping in the front door.

" !ugly fatty!!". The person in the computer shop shouted, extremely annoyed.

When Dave arrived home, he saw Alice and the old man still eating.

"Hey, what's for lunch?" Dave's question to them.

"You're really gauging if it's time to eat before going home; take the food from the pot." Alice said while sipping soup.

Next, Kagumi arrived, and he was about to enter the house.

"Oh, why is it just three of you? Where is Hikaru?" Kagumi asked while taking off his shoes.

"She said she would be home late because it's their manager's birthday, she said". Alice said while her mouth was full of food.

"Ahhhh, ok, what's for lunch?" Kagumi's words while washing his hands

"Boiled pork soup". Alice's voice while drinking water.

"Manager, I was about to say goodbye; I'm going home; it's already late." Hikaru said amidst the loud music and people talking.

"Are you going home? I'll take you home."

Hikaru's manager said while holding a glass with wine inside.

"I'm fine; thank you anyway". Hikaru spoke while bowing her head, showing her appreciation for his manager's offer to her.

"Ok, fine, just take care". Hikaru's manager said.

"Thank you for your concern; I'm leaving now." Hikaru said and then turned around and started walking out.

While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, as the surroundings grew dark and not a single vehicle passed by. Hikaru saw a man wearing a black hood, standing on the other side of the road, his face hidden, and it's just facing where she's standing. Hikaru felt something different, and when the man lifted his head, Hikaru saw the man's glowing red eyes.

Suddenly, the man ran towards her so fast that it made her remember the tragedy that happened many years ago.

Because of fear, she lost her composure, and the bag hanging from her shoulder fell.

The man stretched out his hand and pointed his sharp claws at Hikaru's chest.

Until the sharp claws, slowly approaching Hikaru.

Hikaru simply closed her eyes and waited for her demise because she was immobile at the time.
