It was already 02:00 p.m. and they had already left the restaurant. They were returning to the university.

Han was walking behind them with Eclipse, and used this opportunity to talk with her.

– Hey… You’re the girl from the flower shop I went to yesterday, right? – He was straightforward.

– Yes. Who would’ve thought we would meet again like this. – She smiled with a hint of nervousness.

– Haha, yes. – He realised he didn’t know her name yet. – What’s your name?

– Eclipse. – She responded, putting her hands in her dress’ pockets.

He gently smiled at her. “She has pretty long white hair.”

– Did your sister like the flower? – She asked, curious.

– Oh, yes. She loved it. Blue’s her favourite colour.

– Good to hear. – Eclipse giggled.

“She’s surely the girl Dracarus was talking about…” He glanced at both of them and smirked playfully.

An hour and a half passed and it was already break time. Dracarus and Han were chatting on the balcony of the studio as they waited for them to return from the school’s bar.

– The bicolored eyes girl is the one you were talking about, isn't she? – Han teased, looking at him who was leaning on the fence.

– Yes. – Dracarus exchanged looks with him. – Why?

– Nothing… Just curious. She’s pretty, right? – Han playfully inquired.

– Yeah… She is. – Dracarus replied. 

Han turned his body to the side, facing Dracarus and was intensely staring at him with a teasing smirk.

Dracarus noticed and looked back at him with an annoyed face. “What the hell is thinking now? Why is he staring like that…”

– What is it? – Dracarus asked. He was already predicting any funny or annoying answer, as usual.

– You look good together. – He responded, ribbing him.

– Huh?! – Dracarus gave him a dirty look. – Stop with the nonsense. – He walked away, sighing.

After a while, the group of friends returned. They had been chatting along the way about going to the cinema the next day.

– Do you guys want to join us tomorrow? We’re going to watch a movie in the cinema. A horror one. – Catherine asked.

– Yeah, sure. It’s a great idea. – Han answered.

– That’s nice! I will also bring Vincent with us! – Catherine exclaimed.

Xavier looked at her in a quite upset way. He seemed to not much like the idea of bringing Vincent with them.

The friend group was already considering Han and Dracarus their friends as well. And they always accepted everything they suggested.

They then decided what movie to watch and were planning the hour and the place with them. They decided to go at 10 o’clock and meet at the main entrance of the mall.

All of them left the studio at 04:00 p.m. and the Goddess’ helpers were talking about Lydia’s situation.

– So, a blue haired girl. – Han reminisced.

– Yeah. I’m sure there’s too many blue haired girls out there. It won’t be easy to find her. – Dracarus said as he drove his car.

– Actually if you think, she said she was stabbed and choked. And from behind to choke someone, you either need two hands or be really strong to use only one. It could easily be someone with powers. – Han added.

– Hm, true. I guess it will be even harder to find her then. We should ask Lydia more about it though, I noticed she had a red mark on her neck, but it didn’t seem to be made by someone's hand. – Dracarus remembered.

– Hm? – Han was confused. Although, it could be made with any rope or anything.

~~~

The following day came. It was 08:00 p.m. and Dracarus was still asleep because he hadn’t slept the night before. Han went to his room and opened his windows’ curtains.

– Ahh! What are you doing…! – Dracarus woke up, annoyed by the light of the lamp outside his room.

– It’s literally 8pm, we need to leave in two hours and you’re still sleeping like a bear. – Han said, joking.

Dracarus got up and sat on the border of the bed looking seriously at Han.

– What? – Han, unfazed.

– You better leave the room before I make you.

– Damn, alright, alright. Just don’t forget that in two hours we leave. – Han replied, leaving his room.

At the destined meeting time, Han was still at home waiting for Dracarus to finally leave his room.

“Man, I swear if I open that door and you’re still sleeping, you’re gonna die.” He thought to himself as he walked over to his room once again.

He opened the door and saw no one there. He sighed in annoyance. He proceeded to teleport to the mall since he was getting late, and saw him on his motorcycle getting his helmet off. 

– Not only are you boring but you’re also annoying. – Han glared at him.

– My bad, I saw you sleeping on the sofa so I came on my own. – He teased.

– Huh?! How could you?! – Han rolled his eyes in disbelief and crossed his arms.

After a while, all of them arrived. They then walked over to the cinema and were waiting since the movie only started at half past ten.

– Do you guys wanna take something inside to eat or drink? – The ticket lady asked.

– Not really, we usually don’t eat while watching movies or whatever. – Vincent said.

– Yeah, me neither, I just had dinner. – Eclipse added.

Xavier and Han were the only ones who bought something to take inside.

– The room is already available, you can enter now.

– Thanks, Miss! – Han responded, gently smiling.

They entered the room and were ready to watch the movie. Some of them were already scared and it hadn’t even started. They sat on the last row because it was easier to watch and darker.

– Oh my god, what the hell is that! – Catherine screamed, scared.

– Chill, it won’t pass the screen, haha. – Vincent softly laughed.

“She’s so cute.”

–  It’s still scary though.

Vincent then put his arm around her shoulders trying to comfort her.

– Thanks…

After a bunch of jumpscares and people screaming of fear, the movie was almost ending. Xavier was paying more attention to the “couple” there than the film though.

– Man, there’s no way the main character is gonna die… – Han felt disappointed.

– She won’t. – Lydia said, confidently.

– How do you–

Suddenly Han was interrupted by Eclipse falling asleep on his shoulder. Dracarus, who was sitting on the row behind them, noticed.

– Damn, you scared me, are you okay? – Han asked, looking at her.

– Ah, I’m just a bit sleepy, sorry. – She replied, taking her head off his shoulder.

– It’s fine. – Han put her head back on his shoulder so she could rest until the movie ended.

– See, she’s not gonna die. – Lydia, pointing at the screen.

– What do you mean? The killer is literally chasing her to a cliff. – Han replied, unfazed.

The main character then, out of nowhere, got a gun out of her pocket and shot the killer; however they both fell from the cliff and died.

– I told you she was gonna die.

– How sad I was really convinced she was gonna pull out a plot twist and survive… – Lydia was sad.

The movie ended and they were chatting outside about it.

– It was quite boring, honestly. – Xavier sighed.

– True but it was also really scary. – Catherine opined, still scared.

– That’s because you’re a scaredy cat, haha! – Vincent laughed, pinching her cheek.

Xavier was annoyed. “Why does he have to interrupt our conversation? Hmph.” Xavier went to Han’s side, he couldn’t stand being a third wheel anymore.

Dracarus didn’t say a word the whole time… He was more focused on his thoughts about work and Eclipse, who was about to fall from sleepiness.

– Eclipse, did you even sleep last night? – Dracarus asked, worried. 

– Not really. – She eyed him with tired eyes.

– Do you want a ride home? – He offered.

– It’s fine, I’ll just pick up the bus.

Dracarus nodded. He was worried but didn’t want to force her. He also wanted to know why she didn’t sleep, she was a bit quieter than usual that day.

They all left since it was almost 1 o’clock, except for Han and Lydia. 

– Wait, Lydia, can we talk? – Han asked, grabbing her arm.

~~~

Not so far from there…

Unknown

Are you going home? … Oh wait, you’re that kid from before, aren’t you? – I heard the voice of someone.

“Wait, I recognise that voice! Is it one of those dreams again? …”

I turned around and saw a not so tall figure with blue hair and wearing a mask… Just like on that day. I felt my body trembling of how shocked I was to finally see her again.

“It’s her?! It’s actually her…!”

– Ah, I see. So you’re the one who tried to kill her… You got some nerve don’t you? – I said, feeling my body burn in both anger and guilt.

– I’m not as bad as you make me look. She didn’t even die so why are you worried? – She smirked.

“What the hell is her deal in pissing me off willingly after what I went through because of her?!”

– She didn’t! But many other people did! And I’ll make you pay for that. You disgust me. – I clenched my fists, enraged. 

I was about to attack her but she stopped me straightaway, kicking right on my stomach. It hurted like hell. I rapidly backed away, crossing my arms over the belly, in pain.

– Now, now, It’s not the right time to do this, you’re in a bad condition. Don’t push yourself; you’ll get what you want someday… but definitely not today. You need to get stronger, Moon. – She vanished through the night.

“Moon?! How dare you call me that…!” I frowned over my wounded stomach, it was really painful. 

– Argh…!! That piece of shit! – I murmured to myself. I was about to cry from both pain and guilt. I was baffled by how she had the audacity to show up in my life again… and not being able to defeat her now, made me feel awful. But I couldn’t give up on my revenge yet… especially after she harmed another important person to me.

“I swear I’ll end you someday and avenge everyone you deceived… mainly him and my friend…!”
