Snow fell more and more, covering half of the city.
People wear thick clothes and scarves to warm their bodies, the wind moving from west to south brings snow, also adding to the cold atmosphere of the city.
Arthur was circling the city he had been leading all this time, circulating his gaze towards the people who were doing normal activities in the snow like this.
Also seen are children who are running around throwing snowballs, some make snow dolls and the rest skiing.
The corner of his lips drawn upwards made a wide smile, a scene like this he had never seen before to this day.
Usually in the middle of snow falling especially at night. People will just sit in their homes, warming their bodies with a fireplace.
" Hahahaha catch me, bukk "that little body hit Arthur who was right in front of him making himself fall in pain.
" Are you okay? " Arthur asked while helping the boy stand up
" I'm fine. Thank you "This snow is soft I don't feel pain "he said with a big smile, the boy ran away from his friends' collars.
Seeing him made Arthur remember the bitterness of the little boy's life. The first time he came to this city was only with his mother maybe about 4 years ago, when it was right snowstorm his mother came to ask him for help. Arthur gladly gave them a proper place to live.
At that time Arthur was very happy because the population increased even though only 2 people, but, for a long time Arthur knew the name of the child was Moka and he did live alone with his mother before arriving in this city.
What Arthur thinks is. Arthur never knew who Moka's father was even until his mother died yesterday, no one picked him up or claimed to be his father. Arthur is forced to send the boy to an orphanage.
At first he refused but with all kinds of persuasion he finally accepted, see now he is very happy to play with his friends.
Forgetting a moment of his mother's grievous death by a werewolf.
Adjusting his breath Arthur tried to forget the dark events that always occur in this city because of werewolf terror.
Better now he's handing out firewood for the fireplace. He did not want until there was news of his people dying of cold.
This city is located at its southernmost. So the place is so cold especially if this snow season this place is often the point of snowstorms.
That made Arthur prepare a lot of supplies for the people in the city, so that if a snowstorm comes they are not too worried about dying of hunger or cold.
...****************...
Unlike Arthur who was busy helping people in the city, Mika was busy pacing around looking for a way to be free from here.
Thinking for yourself is hard. He somewhat regretted having finished off his men who were in a cell with him or maybe not as well.
Given it was now winter and they had not prepared any warm clothes for Mika at all. He can warm himself using the skin of his dead men.
Let's say he's evil but that's the case, Mika has always considered herself a Tyrannical figure. If only he had held a gun back then maybe he wouldn't have ended up in this filthy prison.
Mika promised herself, if it had come out later. He's gonna make an army of werewolves again but this one's got extra brains. So that events like yesterday do not happen again.
Being busy daydreaming, from outside the prison Mika heard someone's moaning.
" Did they do the law of death "he murmured a little in panic
The moans were more clearly heard, the sound was getting closer towards the cell where Mika was locked up now.
His legs and hands were already shaking, trying to twist his brain Mika got a brilliant idea.
He would die and make happen as if he had committed suicide after killing his men.
Mika climbed on the bed, thrust the knife into the body of his dead men and then lay beside him while closing his eyes and holding a knife full of blood in his hand. Do not forget the blood flow that was deliberately placed on the veins of his hands.
The sound of footsteps was heard very close and stopped right in front of the cell where it is now.
Mika had a rough gulp while hoping whoever was there to leave as soon as possible.
But instead of her leaving, Mika can hear the sound of the cell door being opened. The sound of the foot reappearing, now stopped right beside.
" Oh must be you who killed them Mika "the stranger said as he looked around the cell that was like a dumping ground.
After speaking like that, Mika opened her eyes. He recognized this voice, the voice of the one who can free him now.
" It turns out you're Karl, I think the prison guards "excited Mika threw her knife.
Karl walked first out of the prison followed by Mika from behind. Both of them walked very leisurely like nothing happened.
" Snowstorms are coming should we hurry home, you also need clothes "said Karl looking at Mika with a look of pity
Mika silence did not reply to Karl's words, he got into the car and put his head to sleep, his eyes also he closed.
Karl drove the four-wheeled vehicle carefully, the road full of snow makes the road slippery and must be extra slow.
The bright purple car stopped in front of the clothing store, Karl came down leaving Mika who was still asleep.
Karl walked into the shop and got a warm smile from the guards. He went to a thick dress that was special for the winter.
Choose clothes that fit Mika's body size and go to the cashier to pay for her groceries.
Finished with that Karl drove his car again, the intention is now to a workshop that can change the color of the car.
According to him, purple is very laughable for men, why
Tio could have chosen this color for his sports car.
...****************...
Blowing cold winds and cloudy skies add to the impression of winter in the California town of Palmdale.
Masha was busy now getting rid of the snow that covered her front door using a shovel.
" Masha you have to help me this emergency "pinta Tio in a panic
Masha throws her original spade, now that shovel is embedded by the snow. Prefer to follow Tio into his house, maybe his water channel is clogged because being an ice Masha can help.
Arriving there Masha was made nervous, when she saw a pair of men and women who were looking at her from top to bottom.
According to Masha's vision the two people were the parents of Tio because they were quite similar.
" Please sit down "series Tio's mother gently
Masha then sat down in front of the two, playing her fingers to relieve the nervous feeling.
" Pa, Ma I'm going to marry him " exclaimed Tio
After saying that Tio looked towards Masha with a sinless smile.
Masha stared back in surprise, moving her mouth that only Tio could tell "what it all meant
it's "
Tio did not reply instead averted his eyes and looked at his mother.
" Don't worry about us getting married soon "
" It's good we don't worry about you anymore "
The two looked back at Masha but now with a warm smile instead of the interrogating look like before. Masha was already somewhat relaxed.
" What's your name ? "
" Masha "the answer is short
After hearing Masha's reply the mother of Tio whispered something to her son then got a nod of understanding from Tio.
" We go out first there's something I have to talk about "Tio whispered softly
Bringing Masha to the courtyard to speak for four eyes, until there Tio released her grip on Masha.
" There are some things I have to say but before that.... "
Tio suddenly stopped his words making Masha curious.
