Chapter 69

The fight was over, at least just for now. Sakura's was attending Samuel's after encountering him lying on the floor shivering and skinny. She had decided to wait for the sunrise to come, for the moon to give space to the rising sun. Knowing somehow that he was also waiting for the full moon to disappear from the night. He was waiting for the rays of hope to shine. His will was stronger than his killings instincts as an experiment.

She was attending him now, had him cleaned and put clothes on him. He was just skin and bones, and the sight of it made Sakura tremble with sorrow. Outside everyone was cleaning the remnants of the battle, corpses laying around were buried in a common ground. No one could recognize them, the man they someday were no one to be found. Just the beasts replaced them instead.
