It's been a couple of days since Zero started a new journey by using a compass inside the locket. He's been traveling nonstop, heading in the north direction as he noted he's getting closer to the small town down the dirt road. The weather hasn't been approving lately, the grey clouds still covered the blue sky and the warm sun. However, Zero was slightly grateful as he doesn't want to travel underneath the warm sun as he knew it will make him feel tired and irritated. His amethyst eyes glanced at his surrounding, he can see the fresh green grass stretched so beyond as far as his eyes could see.

The slightly chilled wind touches his hair and bare skin, carelessly as he ignores the tickling playful breeze. He frowned when he didn't sense any energy life in the distance where his eyes spotted building ahead. He wondered if the town is deserted, abandoned in the middle of nowhere. He attempted to sense any presence in his surroundings, and he only greeted empty except himself. So, he decided to use his vampire speed to the town ahead of him.

When he arrived at the edge of the town line, immediately he labeled that this town is a completely ghosted, abandoned place. A gust of wind went through the maze of ancient buildings where windows have long shattered in the weakness of their structures. Rotting boards, some broken, others hanging try to cover the empty eyes of every abandon buildings. Doors hang on the few threads of their hinges and groan with pain at every sway by the wind.

He walked down the dirt path while observed the abandoned ghost town. He never saw this town before in his life, it's the first time he has touch this town. However, he wondered why the compass is leading him to this lifeless town?

His amethyst eyes glanced at the compass in his hand. He continued to follow the north then it shifted to the left direction. Zero turned left as he glanced up, in the distance he could see well water. He double-checked his compass and arrived at the well water. He noticed the blood-arrow slipped into the hole inside the compass, he shut the locket and stared down at the old rocky wishing well.

Zero leaned forward, peering down at the darkness in the well. There was water at the bottom of the well, however, he noticed a large hole on the side. He leaned back with contemplative. 'Something is in there...' his instinct urges him to go there. He mentally sighed at his stubborn vampire instinct while his hunter sense stays silent.

He jumped onto the edge of the wishing well smoothly as his hands shoved in his pockets. He stares down at the water, then closed his eyes and jumped down, fearless.

Splashed heard as the water hit in his boots and legs, immediately soaked them. Zero's amethyst eyes glow when he opened and stared at the hole. It was large enough, yet he has to bend his head low. He slowly, cautioned crawled into the hole, ignored the splashing from the water. The hole is stretched far and long as it changes to a smaller hole then a larger hole that Zero has no idea how long he's been crawling.

It felt like days for him to crawl through the hole. However, in reality, it's only been a few hours. For all he knew, he might as well far away from the abandoned town. Zero sighed heavily as his body is tired and his throat is itching as his chest is in pain. He knew he is thirsty but not too awful, so he holds it in for a little bit longer. Inside the hole, it's very long and hollow. There are no suspicious sounds and he would've taken out his Bloody Rose gun, but his hunter senses haven't alerted him anything. However, it doesn't mean he'll let his guard down.
