"The full moon will last for a few days, probably three days at the most" Peach walked slowly, turning to Winter as if asking that the girl follow him. "And during that time you'll be trapped in your beast form"
"A-a-what??"
"I came here to offer help" Peach smiled sweetly.
Winter looked down at her legs and turned her eyes to look at her hands, the girl was silent for a moment. He was thinking about Peach's words about the full moon that was about to happen.
Both Winter's eyes closed for a moment. "What would happen if I were in my perdition??"
"Like the werewolves in the dormitory, every time a full moon arrives, we lock them up for a few days. Then once they've returned to their human form, we'll give them a little potion"
"What's your reason for locking them up??"
Peach fell silent, smiling at Winter's words. "Have you killed anyone before?"
"W-what??"
Peach's smile was terrible, from behind that smile, he was intimidating Winter. Winter hastily takes Peach away from the human crowd near them.
The two girls sit on a sidewalk bench, Winter buying Peach a cold cup of coffee. The girl seems confused to face the nature of Peach who knows everything about her life.
"Are you a fortune teller??"
Peach looked slowly. "No, I'm a witch"
"What's the difference between a witch and a fortune teller??" Winter chuckles, the girl sips a cup of coffee in her right hand.
"The fortune teller can determine the future, while the witch cannot"
"But you know about my past!!" Winter's fast.
"When----"
"You just said that I killed someone!" Peach had not finished his sentence, Winter had already cut off the girl's conversation. "That's right!!"
"When that?"
"I don't remember it, but I'm sure that when I was a kid I killed someone"
Peach chuckled, he was so happy. It turns out that the girl he's been looking for is Winter, now the witch is not worried anymore about her twin sister who likes Arthur. Peach can easily match Winter with Arthur, as the two of them are destined to be together.
"Regarding the potion I said, it was actually a potion to restore the Werewolf's memory when the full moon cycle was over"
"Wait!" Winter is shocked to hear Peach's explanation. "So, my memory will be gone when the full moon arrives??"
"Right, I think that's why you don't remember anyone who has been your victim, you just remember killing someone but not remembering who you killed" Peach said.
"I vividly remember when I massacred all the teenagers at that party"
"Because it's not a push from a full moon, you did it because you wanted to"
Peach looked across the street, how surprised he was when he found the figure of Arthur who was walking in the city alone. The girl grinned, realizing that Winter did not know where Arthur was around. The witch pulls Winter's wrist, leaving Winter shocked and spilling her coffee.
"Come with me!"
"Where??"
"That's it, let's go!" The girl carried Winter's body across the street, apparently Arthur had entered the bookstore area. It made Peach puff up next to his cheek and then sigh heavily.
"Hey, where are you taking me??"
The cold-faced witch gave Winter some money, asking Winter for help in buying a book, in the shop in front of them. Peach reasoned that he did not really like a place with many humans in it. Of course, that made Winter in disbelief, considering Peach himself who caught up with him at the restaurant.
"Why not just you?" Winter received several pieces of banknotes.
"Come on, please! Please huh?"
Quickly, Peach pushes Winter's body into the store's glass door, which immediately makes Winter already inside the store. From the outside, Winter could see that Peach was waving his hand with a smile.
The beautiful girl began to walk through every neatly lined bookshelf in the store, she did not find the book that was meant by Peach. Obviously so! Because Peach made up the title of the book he wanted, unbeknownst to Winter, Peach entered the shop area. The witch with the dark magic watches Winter from afar, she is careful enough to keep Winter unaware of her whereabouts.
Winter dropped some books stacked by someone beside the shelf. Soon the girl lowered her head to reorder the books that she accidentally collapsed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see it" Winter said politely.
"Winter???"
Uh??- Winter.
The beautiful girl raised her face, she immediately fell back so shocked because she met Arthur. Remembering the last time he met Arthur, when the tragedy kissed that night.
"A-----"
"Just leave the book, I'll give it back" Arthur reached out his hand to help Winter stand up.
Winter grabs Arthur's hand, without him noticing his cheeks blushing red. The girl tried hard to hide her face from Arthur.
"I didn't expect to see you here" Arthur said kindly.
"Anu--- I...."
The girl clenched her hands tightly, she closed her eyes tightly because she was confused about how to behave in front of Arthur. He wanted to apologize, but it seemed like that sentence would not come out so easily.
"Are you sick??" Arthur touched Winter's forehead, the girl's two eyes immediately swerved. In a hurry he brushed Arthur's hand violently.
"N-no!! I'm not sick!!" Sergey Winter is fast. "I-I, I want you to forget that time"
Surprised? Of course Arthur was surprised, how he could forget his first kiss with Winter. Although it was very unexpected, but the first impression could not be easily forgotten. The two are seen to be silent, Arthur himself does not respond to the sentence from Winter. Seeing that, Peach became curious about what they were talking about.
"Why do you want me to forget??"
"I don't know, ever since I said I wanted to be your friend back then. I don't really feel like a friend to you, if what I did that night was wrong and made you hate me. I'm really sorry"
Arthur returned the book he was holding onto the shelf. "You don't have to apologize Winter!"
Duh! What are they talking about? - Peach.
"Eh? B-but..."
"I'm not angry and I don't hate you" Arthur smiled sincerely at Winter.
Peach is upset that his plan to bring Arthur and Winter closer is not going well. Some humans came to the hallway where Winter and Arthur spoke, looking for the book they were going to buy. Peach laughs happily at getting a good idea, knowing full well what Winter is hiding behind his hat. Because it's commonplace for a werewolf when the full moon is coming.
Let's take a look! Is your instinct to protect him from the humans still there or not? - Peach.
The mat!
Uh??- Arthur.
Both of Arthur's eyes rounded wide when suddenly the hat worn by Winter disappeared somewhere, the Phoenix looked around to find whether there was a witch around them or not? Soon Arthur covered Winter's ears with both hands.
"Eh-- Why??" Winter is shocked to see Arthur's attitude. The girl soon realizes that her hat has gone missing, Winter's face suddenly becomes very panicked. "W-how is this??"
Winter whined in panic, looking at Arthur who was watching him without saying anything. "Well!! How'this??"
"We'd better get out of here!"
"How is it?? Where's my hat?" Clear crystals begin to appear in Winter's eyes, not because he's afraid of being discovered by humans. He was very afraid that the hat he had stolen had been lost, so he could not keep his promise to return the hat.
"Please don't cry Winter, I'll cover your ears!" Arthur said calmly. "I promise I won't let your identity be exposed"
You idiot! I'm crying because my stolen hat is gone!!- Winter.
On the other hand, Peach laughed at the behavior of Arthur and Winter. The girl was not satisfied with what she saw. He feels that Arthur is protecting Winter because the man knows that Winter is a supernatural being. So he wanted to help the girl as a fellow supernatural being.
"Let's go!"
