Hunger

Kneeling at the top of her bed, wide green eyes blinked and stared at a pair of glowing emerald eyes. A soft gasp escaped from the widened thin pink lips of the horned being named Crescent.

Mirroring her agape lips, her eyes widened upon facing the being who she protected and nurtured since she stepped foot inside Transylvania Academy. The zaps of lightning and the roars of thunderclaps were silenced – muting the external factors around the two.

"Kruu?"

The green-eyed creature tilted its small and horned head to the side as if it was assessing its master.

Cent felt her heart thumping like crazy – like she was being engulfed with nervousness and excitement in one go. She did not know how to react if whether she should scream her lungs out or she should just bawl her eyes out.

The gnawing sense of familiarity the moment their eyes collided made it seem as if she was waiting all her life to be in this exact scene like it was predestined to happen.
