In front of the Castle Clan Children of the Night, Eden sacrifices her life to make a comeback and erase the mistake made by Chloe. 20 years have passed since the incident and the story begins…
...-Island Clan Children of The Night -...
The white light from the lightning split the roaring dark sky accompanied by the sound of thunderbolts blaring. A large bodyguard grasped a torch to illuminate the rocky path while his left hand dragged a girl roughly.
The girl stared with horror as she found out where she was being taken. “What's my fault? Why am I being returned here? I work well! I didn't make a mistake! Please, don't lock me up in that dark place again!!”
The girl's roar and roar were not heeded. He remained forced in, walking through dark alleys lit only by wall torches.
“Shut! I'm just doing my job. If you make a fuss again, I'll throw you into the sea. No one will count the loss of a slave like you,” the bodyguard growled.
The threat instantly made the girl speechless in fear. They arrived at one of the innermost cells.
The sound of a key being played to open the padlock on the dungeon cell rang out, awakening some sleeping young girls curled up on thin straw. Not enough to protect their bodies from the cold so they sleep in close proximity. Give each other warmth.
Kiara is one of the awakened. He thought it was morning when he heard the cell door open. Kiara dreamed of eating delicious chicken thighs so when she realized that no sunlight was entering through the small crack above the wall, she let out a disappointed sigh.
It turned out to be just a dream.
“Log in!” The bodyguard pushed the crying girl into the cell. Then lock it back up and leave after grumbling.
As the cell darkens, it is illuminated only by moonlight.
“Matilda... Matilda!” whispered Kiara calling her cellmate. “Sini, sleep next to me.”
“Kiara... I don't know why I was returned here.” Matilda laid her body on thin straw.
“What are you doing inside the Castle? Have you seen Mr Magnus?” kiara asked as she wiped away the tears of the curly haired girl.
Matilda shook her head. “I've never seen the figure of Mr. Magnus. I'm only assigned in the kitchen.. Cutting groceries maybe.”.
“Maybe?”
“I don't remember clearly. But I was brought back here.”
Matilda was the first girl to be brought into the castle after the slave troupe reached the island. They became slaves for different reasons. Some are for stealing, being vilified, being sold, and the most sinister is for killing.
So of course these slaves were treated like criminals. Sleeping behind bars, eating once a day, the sunlight obtained only from a small gap above the wall.
They only knew that they were sent to this island to be hired as servants.
Kiara pulled down the collar of Matilda's shirt to observe her neck.
“What do you do, Kiara?”
“No. Its alright. Sleep.” Kiara closed back Matilda's collar.
Clean. His neck had no scars at all. Kiara bit her lower lip and thought who would replace Matilda tomorrow.

The sound of a cane being smashed into the deafening iron bars.
“Build lazy rats!! Your work is just eating, sleeping, pooping!! Remember, you guys are slaves!” agnes shouted, the woman most hated by all of them.
He was assigned to take care of the slaves of the head of the Children of the Night Clan, Magnus.
“Then, give us a job instead of locking us up in this stinky and dark cell!” protest a red-haired girl.
Without further ado, Agnes hit the girl's leg with the iron rod she had in her hand. He howled in pain.
“There are again who dare to fight?” Agnes looked at the others.
They all nodded and shook their heads.
“Good. Listen this is fine. Mr. Magnus the arrival of an important guest last night.” Agnes sigh*with eyes full of dreams. “Oh. Very very important and handsome guest.”.
Then he cleared his throat. “And you will all be shown in front of him. Yes, you are lowly slaves, slums and smells.”
Agnes did not understand what was on Mr. Magnus' mind. There were still many other beautiful servants in the castle but the Master instead chose these slaves.
Maybe to show? Uh. Also true. Not everyone can have a child. Moreover, twelve slaves at once.
“Now you all come with me.”
They all followed Agnes out of the cell. The sun had not even risen when they were told to undress and bathe in the river.
“I don't want to! The water is so cold!” matilda protested, hugging herself.
“Shh! Don't let Agnes hear you.” Kiara started taking off her clothes. He himself shuddered at the calm river water. It must have been very cold.
But for the sake of being able to enter the castle, Kiara would be willing to do anything. Even if you walk on fire.
The others catch up to Kiara getting into the water before Agnes pushes them away.
“The password is clean!! Wash your lice hair! Rub your bodies. Understand?”
“Yes, Agnes!” answer them in unison.
Kiara took a breath and buried her head into the water with her eyes wide open.
‘Magnus. I finally get to meet you too.’
