The Nightfall: He (Second Book)

Eighth Nightfall: Part Two: The Panting

... ... ...

That night at the party the half moon showed up that took the attention of the three persons that involves from a past that starts to awake.

Carl Vincent stop when the half moon suddenly took his attention and the pain that begins to surface earlier comes back again and it is much painful than the earlier.

"Hey! Carl?" it was Jefferson who called but he couldn't let his gaze cut out of the moon. "Are you alright?" he heard him asking worriedly but he can't move nor talk though his panting heavily until he felt so light and cold from the inside and out.

"Carl!" Jefferson screamed after Carl Vincent falls down in the ground.

Meanwhile at the second mansion of the Lodernbergh where Paul Mark walks out from his room to follow a strange shadow that lurks around their garden but the moon took his attention and a sudden pain starts to surface that starts his panting until he felt light and cold from the inside and out.

Back at the Crimson mansion, Yna tries to see who's standing at the fountain but a sudden pain start to fold into her and she starts to pant heavily until her body and soul frozen into cold. She starts to numb and her heart stop and the only thing that she gazes up from the night sky was the moon that starts to bleed.

... ... ...

As they laid Yna from its bed, they stand there to look into her.

"I never knew this day would come," he said while looking into the face of the lady that they've been trying to save for a long, long time.

"Waking me up after I slept," she stares back at him. "What happened here?" she asked curiously because as she remembers earlier that day they were just talking then this thing happens. "Lord Alexius, is this you're doing?"

"No." he answered. "Era alguien más," he said.

"Quien?" she asked even though she already had a guess who is it.

"Auryon."

... ... ...

From afar, there is a pair of eyes looking intently in the moon.

"This is the night, my Lady Auryon."

"Indeed." She answered with a wide smile from her face.

"But what would you do about the party?"

"Azlyn, it might be Jessica's birthday and her engagement but this is also my night. The night that I've been waiting for so long and now that the moon starts to bleed that only mean his coming! Para eso, ha llegado el momento de sacrificar el alma de este cuerpo." She said and turned her gaze at her. "Ready yourself for the sacrificial rites," she ordered.

"Yes, my Lady Auryon." The two of her trustworthy servants answered.

"Then, this is the right time to shine!" she answered as her gaze back to the moon. "El tiempo en que Erebus debería renacer una vez más!"

... ... ...

"As expected of her." She answered after hearing Lord Alexius answered.

"Now, tell me what else did the two of you talks about?" it asked seriously.

Lucia Roja heaves a breath. "She just told me about the sacrifice and that's all, she didn't even tell me that this night she'll move surprisingly." She honestly answered.

"It seems she found someone to help her."

"Indeed." Then she went closer though the window and stares up from the night sky. "The moon still bleeding," she commented.
