The scent of vanilla faintly smelled all the way to the entrance. The fragrant aroma comes from a red cupcake newly laid out in a glass display case. The cupcake needs to be aerated to cool, then it can be decorated with cream cheese frosting made from cream cheese, unsalted butter, and whipped cream powder. Just shake the cream cheese and unsalted butter until soft, then mix whipped cream powder and ice water, then the mixer until fluffy and stiff.
In addition to the red velvet cupcake, the beautiful girl who has charming colored hair ties, namely the redness it also makes another cake for tomorrow's supplies. Usually when it opens at seven in the morning, La Vie En Rose, his pastry shop will be immediately invaded by customers who are looking for breakfast menu before work.

The distinctive sound of a golden bell mounted above the entrance of La Vie En Rose managed to make him turn his gaze away. La Vie En Rose has been closed since half an hour ago, the only employee in this place has also gone home five minutes ago. So, who just came.
“Lucciane!”
Called name. He grew curious, therefore he immediately walked towards the glass display case which gave him more access to look into the entire main room of La Vie En Rose.
“Lana, what's up?” ask a girl with a short haircut over the shoulder that should already be at home. Remembering the girl came home five minutes ago.
“Lucciane, you have to leave here immediately.”
“Go? But why?”
“Madam Gie is on his way here with his men.”
“What does Madam Gie want here?”
Lucciane, a beautiful girl with a golden red mane that glittered as the light was struck, came out of the area surrounded by wooden tables and glass display cases.
“Madam Gie told them to kill you!”
Lucciane's footsteps immediately stopped when he managed to pass through a multifunctional wooden table used as a connecting door. Madam Gie is her stepmother. Since her father died a year ago, Lucciane has not lived in her parents' estate. All of her parents' possessions have been claimed by Madam Gie and her daughter, Gwen. Only La Vie En Rose remains as a relic in the name of Lucciane.
Madam Gie used to be mistress—stress—sang daddy. From the results of the dark relationship was born Gwen who was one year older than Lucciane. When Lucciane's mother died when Lucciane was only seven years old, her father took Madam Gie and Gwen home. Madam Gie became the mistress of Chef Gustaff. Distinguished chef, recipient of the Michellin Star Chef award, a prestigious award given for outstanding cuisine. The title Michellin Star is conferred taking into account the quality of the ingredients, the harmony of taste, the mastery of techniques, the personality of the chef as depicted in his cuisine, and the consistency over time throughout the menu.
“Go, Anne. Run as far as possible, while I block them.”
“But, Lana...”
“Go!” lana exclaimed as she pushed Lucciane towards the exit of the back road. From inside La Vie En Rose, they could see a four-wheeled vehicle had just stopped in front of it. “Go quickly, Anne. They're coming!”
“Then what about you, Lana?”
“Don't worry about me, Anne. I've contacted Thomas, he'll be here soon with the police.” Lana said as she continued to observe the outside area of La Vie En Rose. The four-wheeled passengers have already disembarked. The two of them, more precisely three with one plontos-headed man who just came out of the passenger seat. “Go, Anne. You must live!” lana concluded before pushing Lucciane out through the back door. “Run to the far west, Anne. There is a very dangerous forest of darkness. However, if you manage to survive and get out of there, you will find a village by the river.”
Lucciane nodded and immediately stood up straight. “Take care of yourself, Lana.”
“You too, Anne. We should see you soon.”
“Stop running, shit*n!”
Lucciane who was running into the forest immediately gasped in shock. The location of La Vie En Rose is indeed on the edge of the city which is close to the forest area. As a result the path Lucciane could take to escape was a forest of darkness. The forest is inhabited by various species of rare plants and wild animals.
The forest of darkness was as dark as its name suggested. There was only a dim moonlight that managed to penetrate the lush trees. In addition to lush and towering trees, it is said that this forest is also inhabited by various rare plants and wild animals. Because it is still unspoiled by humans, the forest of darkness really reflects the picture of the myth that has been developing. Dark, cold, and deadly. Rarely would anyone be able to return safely after entering the dark forest.
“Stop there, little girl!”
The voices of Madam Gie's men were heard again. This time it felt closer. As a result Lucciane as much as possible to accelerate his steps that have been stumbling. His legs had even been detached ever since he ran into the forest.
“LUCCIANE, STOP RUNNING!”
The hit men even knew his name. Lucciane is under attack from fear. He also began to despair because the further he entered into the forest of darkness, the more questionable his fate. If not to die at the hands of the assassin ordered by Madam Gie, it was likely that Lucciane would have died being pounced on by the beast.
“Stop or we shoot.”
Lucciane doesn't budge. He ran with the remaining energy. Passing through the grass and weeds that thrive, covering every inch of land in the forest of darkness. Suddenly, there was gunfire coming from behind. Lucciane's body instantly shook violently, terrified. His feet also hurt when he was running.
Is this the end of Lucciane's life? Dead at the hands of the hit men Madam Gie.
Lucciane gave it all to them. Now why are they still after his life?
Despite her desperation, Lucciane kept trying. He kept running with shuffled steps. The sound of fast steps that are heard clearly in the middle of the silence of the night from behind is the reason why he keeps trying. Lucciane has an unrealized dream. Therefore, he must stay alive.
His gaze then caught something towering within a radius of several tens of meters. Among the thick trees with thick leaves, he saw a strong and towering gate. Hope is created instantly. Lucciane can ask for help to those who live there.
“STOP OR WE SHOOT!”
Lucciane continued to run, even though her legs had begun to numb. Clear crystals had already melted in the corners of his eyes.
“God, please protect me,” the door is full of hope.
Not long after, the sound of a firearm was heard again. Not once, but many times.
