CHAPTER 0: SILENT NIGHT.

The wind was blowing delicately on the dark roofs of the city. The stars in the sky were shining bright and the moon was illuminating the empty streets. There was a ghostly silence on the city square, and only a solitary cat was going through the streets searching for some food. But then, finally a sign of life in what seemed like a ghost square: a man with a long, dark brown coat with an Indiana Jones hat was walking fast, trembling for the cold that the breeze gave.

This place at night always gave him goose bumps. It was like death was always waiting for you in every dark corner. He didn't know how much he was right in that particular moment. He walked in an ally and hurried up. He felt observed, like some eyes red as blood was seeing through his body and soul. He turned around he did almost jump two meters away.

Two red eyes had scared the crap out of him. They were staring at him like a wolf prepared to attack his victim. The man started running without stopping or hesitating. The creature followed him fast as lightening. It reached him soon. The mysterious creature took him from behind and dragged him in a dark alley he had passed before.

"No! Please! I beg you! Spare me! No…pl…" A fatal slash cracked the silence. The rumor of a blade slashing flesh with no mercy. A sound of splash of blood was heard too. The creature wiped the blood away from the face with his hand and then disappeared in the shadows, to reappear on a roof. He started jumping away on the roofs, fast and silently as a panther. He had completed his mission. Now, he just needed to wait.

The silence laid now again on the city, as nothing had happen at all. No one knew, no one had seen. After a while, the sky changed lightly color, from dark blue almost black to blue lapis lazuli. The stars disappeared as someone was taking them away from the blue, each and one of them. The sky became light pink and the sun rose, invading everything with its warm and candid light, ready to warm up the houses and buildings from the coldness of the night. A new day had started and the city woke slowly up from its deep sleep, still unconscious of what had happen in that silent night.
