The sound of a wall clock, echoing in a quiet minimarket. The clockwise direction already showed at ten o'clock in the night. It was time for the employees to close the place down and hurry home.
That's what a girl with golden brown hair who unravels a boat. She seemed busy packing with one of the other women.
"Annette" who just called is Laura. The woman with shaved hair, who was of energetic stature, was five years older than Annette.
"Yes?" Annette glanced at Laura.
"Have you heard the news that's been quite stirring up the capital lately?" While talking, Laura's two hands were busy stuffing her things into the bag.
"No" Annette's bell.
"What is that, anyway?" Big black eyes Annette flickered curiously.
"Seriously you don't know?" Laura's pair of eyes rounded wide, showing an expression of disbelief.
"The news has even been widely circulated on social media, how could you not know?"
"Yeah, Laura's sister knows it herself, right?" Annette looked shoulder to shoulder, "I'm super duper busy where have time to surf in cyberspace"
"Hum, I understand" Laura nodded her head.
"Then let me tell you" he continued.
Annette waited curiously.
"So here's how a body with a bite on the neck was recently found right in our famous safe city of J"
"What?" Annette was quite surprised to hear that, "Gigitan in the neck?"
That sounds pretty weird. 'Could it be a snake benchmark?' Think Annette's in the heart.
"Eum"
"People are even now using poisonous snakes as a murder weapon?" Annette shook her head in disbelief, "It's unbelievable"
"Did?" Laura looked at Annette confusedly, "Do you think it's a snake?"
"Yes what else?" Annette returned the same puzzled look, "Don't tell me it was a tiger bite? Do they have time to bother stealing the beast in the zoo or hunting it in the forest?"
Laura who heard that sighed softly. Yes it's natural Annette thinks so. Because Annette didn't know what the hot news was like.
"The thing is, the forensic doctor has investigated it, it's not a snake bite like you said"
"What?" Annette widened her eyes in shock, "Serious sister? If not a snake bite, what bite? You must be kidding, right?"
"Huh" Laura sighed softly.
"Have you ever seen me joke?"
Annette kept quiet for a while and thought, 'Yeah, I've never seen her joke so far'.
"And one more thing, he said it's not a murder case. But purely because of the actions of a wild animal. It's just not known what animal caused it.." Jabar Laura again.
Hearing that, inevitably Annette felt goosebumps imagining what an animal was! Who bites the neck to make someone die just like that.
"But, which wild beasts roam the metropolis like this?"
In addition to the fact that the J city area is located quite far from the forest. The more Annette thought about it, the more it sounded absurd.
"That's the problem!" Tukas Laura, her voice sounded anxious, "To this day what beast it is is still a mystery. But the police department is still working hard to investigate"
Laura bit her lower lip anxiously. His actions were caught clearly in Annette's retina.
"How crazy!" Laura let out a frustrated sigh, "Thinking it scares me to walk home at night"
"For a moment" Annette thought of something, "What if it's not a beast, but a human bite?"
"..." - ".Hearing that Laura was staggered on the spot.
"Yes could be, right? Who knows, these last people started killing with their blunt teeth" Annette said.
"Do you think that's possible?"
"Huh.." Annette momentarily sighed with her wild imagination. Obviously that's impossible. What fool would do that? In any case, Annette found it hard to think about how the blunt fangs were used as life-sacres.
Obviously it is very inefficient and takes up a lot of time. A person who is bitten will first fight trying to escape before the bite bleed fresh.
Many ways can be done to thwart the action of the opponent, such as kicking, hitting or maybe biting back. That's what Annette thinks.
"But in my opinion, even if this sounds ridiculous, could it be.." Laura seemed to pause her sentence.
"That's what?" Annette cried.
"That's.." Laura still seemed hesitant to voice her assumptions.
"Vampire?"
"What?" Annette blinked her eyes in disbelief, then afterwards...
"Pftt" Annette chuckled.
A vampire?
How could such a mythical creature appear in this very realistic modern era.
"Why are you laughing? It's not impossible, right"
"Yes but still, it's a mythological creature" Annette said in between her laughter, "Do you think such a thing really exists?"
"That could be true, considering it's a 'bite in the neck'" Laura said, "It's a ridiculous possibility that I can be so logical, right?"
"Yes still.." Reply Annette, "The possibility of a beast bite is still far more logical than the mythological creature you mentioned earlier"
"Ah, fuck*n what a bite is that!" Laura took her bag, "I just want to get home right now"
Annette did the same. Take her bag and they walk out of the minimarket. Before leaving, Laura did not forget to lock the door minimarket and then turned to Annette.
"My advice is to go home on public transport" Laura said, looking at Annette worriedly, "Walking around on a blind night like this is so unsafe considering what I just said earlier"
"No, sister, I'll just walk home" Annette bellowed, "I'll have to save on my expenses anyway. There are still a lot of people passing by anyway, so I'm sure it'll be fine"
"Is that so?" Laura was still worried about the beautiful young girl.
"Eum" Annette nodded steadily, smiling reassuringly.
"Alright, then be careful!"
Annette once nodded and smiled. Laura waved her hand to stop the taxi that had just passed in front. The taxi stopped and Laura got on. Annette waved her hand with a smile, until the taxi vanished from her sight...
The silence of the night around her inevitably made Annette embrace her body tightly with fear.
"Call Annette, you need to calm down!"
The night wind blows, the cold pierces into the pores of the skin. Annette grabbed her pink jacket and quickened her footsteps.
The house that Annette occupies is in the same area as the minimarket where she works. It only takes about ten minutes on foot, Annette will see her house which is a rooftop house from a distance.
It was a rental house at the cheapest price he got.
Annette used to live as an orphanage child who then decided to go out and try to live independently. Annette managed to get a scholarship to continue her S1 studies and with the monthly stipend she earned each semester, she used to pay the rent for the house.
Therefore he worked part-time to meet the needs of his other life as a student and a girl who lived a kara. Little by little, life makes him learn to live frugally and good at managing finances.
Even if honestly...
Life often makes him tired and tired but..
"So far I've been quite happy with the life I have" Annette let out a long sigh.
Pointing her head to the night sky, Annette looked at the moon that looked so charming to the eyes. That silvery ray fell so beautifully over Annette's beautiful, pure white face. Annette was still looking and both corners of her lips were interested..
"Beautiful..."
Annette smiled as she looked at the moon that reigned majestically in the night sky. Finding no stars around her, Annette suddenly felt..
"It's not just me being lonely tonight"
Annette stopped looking up and refocused herself on the steps ahead.
Annette looked at the alley and kept turning in there. Again Annette felt the wind blowing more wildly.
"Cold"
Annette had to rub her palms repeatedly and cupped them onto both sides of her cold, moist cheeks.
Sometimes the sound of night animals that are no longer foreign. Annette seems to be used to it. A night song that always accompanies his way home.
After passing through a long alley, just as Annette was about to step into the hallway leading to where her house was.
Something unexpected...
Happened.
"Emph—"
