Traces of Darkness (1)

Since the girls were fast asleep, I decided to keep one of my clones behind to wake us up when the time approached 4 a.m. After that, I also laid down on the middle of the bed and started to snooze. I was drained, after all... literally.

After that, my sleep went straight for a few hours until someone shook me awake.

"Leader, it's almost time. We should move."

It was Fang's voice echoing close to my ears. As I opened my eyes, I could see her big, purplish-black eyes staring at me, with her ears perked up excitedly.

"Leader, quick!"

She urged me once more.

"... Alright. I'm awake."

I raised my body, scratching my eyes while looking around. All the girls were already dressed up, but they were wearing different clothes from before. Instead of casual, they were wearing the new battle attire that Ember designed.
