A Lonely Night

Chapter 7

Present Time*

Akane's POV

Yesterday after we got home our parents reminded us not to let any strangers come to our house or if anyone we didn't know we shouldn't open the door carelessly.

This morning is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, I knew all along my parents were still busy with their missions and stuff. Here I am hoping for them to greet me first thing like "Good morning sweetie" or "Wake up honey, you will be late for your graduation"

Yesterday Akio's Mother invited Mina to have a sleepover at their house which my parents approved.

Today is my last day in High School, take note my parents didn't come until my graduation finished. Not letting my tears fall down I walk to Akio's House *Mina's Best Friend* to pick up her. When we got home my face paled at the sight in front of us, our things had been smashing all over the place. Our TV is in half, knives sticking in the walls, blood on the floor, and chairs have been crushed.

I take out my knife that's hidden in my legs and make a defense position expecting someone will attack at any moment *remembering my dad's advice in this kind of situation, first secure my sister's safety and calculate the scene to form a plan. We stayed there for a minute hoping my parents were in the house, I followed my instinct not to wonder anymore.

We got outside to run back to Akio's house but men in black along with an old man waiting outside our home. I came to panic not knowing what to do, I hid my sister behind my back and I position myself. The old man laughs out loud until he smiles at us "I never expected this, truly you are Sousuke's daughter. Don't be scared we are here not to harm you" he said with a soft smile after he stopped talking and realized our situation.

"First we should get you out here immediately" With a serious expression he gave a signal to his men to guide us in the black SUV car, I didn't have the strength to fight back and just followed them.
