"Grandma... She was just being nice. Why are you throwing salt to her" she told her but her grandmother remained quiet again "I'll just cook some food and clean the attic after I fead you" she told her as she pat her head and smiled

Her POV

I finished everything and put my grandmother to sleep. I am on my way to the attic and it was very dusty and was filled with webs.

I wore a full cleaning clothes and opened the windows (for ventilation). I also wore a mask and started sweeping. I reduced the amount of webs and dust.

I want to find some pictures of my mom and their memories. As I started opening boxes I saw photo albums and opened it. In my shock, I saw 2 girls, 1 boy, and my grandma with my grandfather.

"I thought my mom was an only child?" I look again at the album "I guessed I was wrong" I told myself

"Mavyyyy" someone called me downstairs and I just took the picture with me

"Dadd~~ I saw something in the attic" I told him as I showed him a picture "I thought my mom was an only child?"

"Sh--she is... That's your mom's cousins" my dad said with those terrifying look in his eyes

"Can I ask grandma if she remembers anything?" I asked him but didn't wait for him to respond

"Your grandma has a late stage dementia... Everything you said will be forgotten after 5 seconds" my father responded as he put his hands on my shoulders

"Dad... I also kept dreaming on a name, Luna?" I told him

He stop for a moment and he was trembling of what I told him "Mavy.. You're just dreaming okay." my dad said as he put his hand on my shoulders

"Dad... Let me go to the library please" I told him "I just need to get something to read" I begged

"be back before the sun sets" he said and I quickly pickup my bag and ran before he changes his mind

I went to search some more books but now, the history of the town. I was curious about many things and I wanted some answers.

As I was patiently finding a book, the sorroundings became cold and I felt like someone was watching me. I was shocked when someone grabbed me behind my back. I almost got crazy because of it.

"Jake??... Why didn't you gave me a notice... You scared me" I told him

"Am I that scary?" he said and his ego turned dark, his eyes were like a predator.

"No.." I just told him and I changed the topic as I picked a history book of the place "How long were you staying here?"

"a thousa--- hmmm... 5 years?" he said

"You must know this town's history" I told him

"I know some... On 1800 I heard that this place was know for a savage village. Wherein there's a part where a group of people were massacred on the streets. When a physician examined the bodies, he found out that these people have no bloods left in their bodies" he shared

"what was the cause?" I asked

"I really don't know... I heard it from my neighbor" he said and laughed "There was also the time in 1900 where every people in the theater that day were rip-off to pieces and most of them has no blood left in their bodies"

"God... Then why does this town still has occupants when the history of this place was not that so good?" I asked him

"because in the 2000, some believed that it was the monsters of the dark like, vampires, werewolves or anything dark entities.... While others said in might be predators from the forest nearby like wolves, bears.." he said

"I should go home now" I told him

"Let me accompany you there... Since it was rumored that the occupants in this town must not go out at 6:00 in the evening" he said

"Would you really do that?" I asked him "my father is a strick kind of person"

"That's okay... I will just accompany you to your house's gate and until I saw you enter your house" he told me and smiled

I took about 2 books

"You're going to school tomorrow right?" he said

"yep.. I am a bit excited to go to school tomorrow since I am so bored staying at home" I told him

He took the book from me "I'll carry it" he said

As we walk by the neighborhood, many people are looking at us weirdly and quickly close their doors and their windows, putting their curtains down

"I really find this town creepy" I told him and laughed "As me and my dad moved in my grandmother's house, people started to compile every morning and I experience weird things at night"

"Well, maybe the ghosts of that massacre wants to tell you a message... Whooo~~" he teased and laughed at me

"We should hurry... My dad's already calling me" I told him

He hold tight on my hand and he leads the way. We run up the streets, he was a bit fast and I can't keep up with him. The worst part is that I stumbled down and received a scratch on my knees

I let his hand go and see my wound, not just my knees but also my hands.

"This is bad" I told him. When I look at his face, I again saw those eyes of a carnival: a predator who hunts for its prey.

His traits was showing up but thankfully someone offered me a hand. He gave me his handkerchief, he tied it on top of my wound. He then put some band aids to my hand quickly as possible

"Are you okay?" he asked

I look at him and as if I am seeing a real life prince in front of me.

I just nod at him "Can I know your name?"

"I am Park Sunghoon" he said
