Sitting under a cherry blossom tree was a family of tree, consist of a beautiful lady currently smiling as she took out a box of ready-made sandwiches for a valiant looking man. A child ran to the man as he called to him, "Father! Father! Why is it that we always staying in this town? Can we not leave it?" The child asked as he hugs his father, looking up to him with his big innocent eyes.

Winds flutters as the lady chuckled and pats the child gently, "Riz, it is not that we cannot leave this town, you are just too young to face the dangers of the outside world." She smiled and kissed the child forehead when he turned to look at her.

Riz blinked his eyes and tackle the lady as he then hugs her, "Is that so? Then mama, what are we?" Riz asked, the lady, his mother smiled as she opened the box, thus Riz attention moved to the sandwiches instead as his stomach rumbled, so he ate with delish.

His father looked at Riz with a slight frown, however his eyes are full of love as he hand some of his portion to Riz. The question asked by their child, was simply left unanswered as the harmonious atmosphere of the three of them were maintained.

'I hope, you will never know.' The man mumbled.

The moon tonight is bright, as the light from the moon came through the window of a room. From the mountains that the room veranda was facing, loud howling were heard continuously. Never before such a dreadful howl was heard, and the whole town shut their door and locked all entrances no matter whether it is small or big out of fear of an unknown.

In the mansion, a pair of eyes glitters in the dark as sound of ragged breath is heard, and it looked up to the ceiling as if it can vividly see the full moon outside.

Meanwhile in the room where the said veranda is, a child was awoken abruptly and gasped, the child looked startled as he felt his whole body wet with cold sweats. He went off his bed and walked to the veranda, though not opening the window he can still hearing those non-stop howling, inside of him an uncomfortable feeling kept welling up that causes him to clench his hands.

His body trembled when he saw the full moon outside, he felt strong urges to run, to jump and to scream as much as he can. Panting slowly, he blanked out and fall to the floor with a thud.

"Riz...! Riz..! Wake up..!" A soft familiar voice is heard faintly, calling for him. The warmth and worry in that voice is very clear to him, oh how he wish to open his eyes but he felt that his body is weak and unable to move. "Fuz! What should we do? He does not look okay..."

"Let's take him to the hospital, doctor Marqou should be able to help him..." Another familiar voice is heard, one sounded rather stern but similar to the earlier voice, it sounded as worried as the person before that.

He then felt that his body was lifted by two strong arm, being carried to somewhere.

Arriving at the hospital, an old man in a white lab coat was seen waiting at the door, seeing the three of them, he brought them inside, riding the elevator to level 10 where his office is, he then lead them with a nurse then took over the child being carried and administer emergency checkup.

"Fuz, Lyla, what happened?" The old man, known as doctor Marqou asked as he watches over the nurse and stared at the man and the lady.

"We don't know, but Lyla found him uncouncious by the veranda window this morning. We thought that it was nothing and put him back on bed, but after a few hours we found out that he was till in that same state." Fuz explained with a worried frown shown on his face, his forehead wrinkled badly.
