Pawn of Crimson

At a large building towering above all those nearby it a figure stood at the edge of the roof, his ocean-blue eyes absorbing the view below, etching it into memory. A wide grin was plastered on his face which soon faded as he remembered the conversation he had with Amaya a few hours ago.

Vincent left the rusty lantern as Amaya followed behind him, Soon they reached a blue car standing nearby and Vincent moved towards the door of Driver's seat.

"Get in" He said in a gentle voice as he opened the door and took a seat

Amaya moved forward and sat at the seat beside the Driver's

"Where are we going?" Amaya Asked

"Somewhere silent and safe" Vincent said as he started the car and moved towards a safer location

*Brr* *Brr*

Soon they stopped in front of a tall building and entered it, Vincent walked towards the elevator and started to move to the roof using the elevator

As soon as Vincent reached the rooftop he stopped and spoke.

"You were being followed."

"Huh? W-what do you m-mean?" Amaya said with a stutter, her eyes were wide.

"They didn't follow you here though.. Hmm.."

"I-is that so" Amaya still couldn't believe that she was being followed and spied on.

"Hoh.. then they stopped as soon as you sat foot in the pub" As soon as he said so he turned his head towards Amaya trying to know if she knew about this but when he saw her face he shook his head and cleared all thoughts of her betraying him.

"They most probably already know about midnighters then…"

The more Amaya heard Vincent the more scared she became.

"A-are we going to be fine?" Amaya said while quavering.

"Huhuhu! You don't have to worry about anything" Vincent said with a chuckle as he patted her head with a gentle, reassuring smile.

"How is it going with Anieal Starborne?" Vincent questioned his voice dripping with curiosity.

"It's going fine, I have already joined her friend circle," Amaya replied with a smile.

"Good, good" Vincent said as he moved forward and gave her a small hug.

"You should leave now." Vincent said as his eyes shone for a moment.

"Yes" Amaya replied with a monotonous voice and started walking towards the elevator.

As soon as Amaya left, the smile on Vincent's face faded.

'Should I just kill her?' Vincent thought but he soon shook his head.

'No, She still has her use'

After nodding to himself he reached his pocket and took out a black envelope, Its seal was already torn suggesting that he had already read it before, he flipped the envelope where a dark, spiked red emblem a corrupted moon-like symbol or arcane seal, featuring a blood-red core surrounded by jagged, menacing rays.

As soon as he saw the symbol he shuddered, His mind went blank as he kept staring at it for a few minutes soon a single thought took hold of his mind.

'Den of Demons.. The Crimson Moon'

"Hah.." He sighed as he kept the envelope back in his pocket

'How did I get pulled into the mess of the Crimson Moon?'
