Meet Me on a Moonlit Night のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Aria's feet are already sore from running, and she could still feel the blood gushing out of her wound in her shoulder. Despite the hunger, tiredness, and not seeing the path clearly, she kept running. The only thing that lights her path is the moon from above that shines thru the gaps of leaves and branches of the trees. She is confused why she's not healing despite having the ability to do so. Not far from Aria is a group of men and women chasing her. They don't have anything that illuminates their path, but they run as if they see everything in the dark forest. "You can't run away from us, Aria," their leader said. His voice echoed in the woods and made every bit of Aria's being tremble for fear. The fear made her run faster, but it was too late when she realized that she has already reached the precipice of the cliff. Now, she needs to choose; go back and die fighting or fall and take a risk in t

Aria tried to swallow the food that Nora gave her. She still can't get off her mind what happened last night. Despite appearing to be calm, the thought that she killed someone and going to jail because of it still lingers in her mind. "Aria, I know you were so exhausted after what happened last night," Nora said. "But you need to eat to regain your strength." "I haven't seen Leo," she started, contemplating whether to start asking questions or not yet. She thinks Nora seems trustworthy, but not Matt. Somehow, Matt gives this weird feeling that he doesn't like her that much. She needs Leo. Aria wants to talk to him. But she hasn't seen him since she woke up. "He's just trying to get an update in the crime scene," Matt said. Aria looked up at him and tried to read what was really in his mind; maybe she was judging him too early. But he gaze

Aria curled and prepared herself for the impact of the fall. She was surprised and mad at what Matt had done. But, instead of hitting the hard ground, she fell on a pair of strong arms. She looked up and saw the most enticing brown eyes she had ever seen. It felt like every pain she was feeling earlier stopped. But she came back to reality when she heard Matt's annoying voice. "Come on now, lovebirds, no time to waste. The moon's peak is near," he said. Then, he ran past them and to the direction of the woods. "Why did he do that?" she exclaimed as soon as Leo put her down. "Nevermind him. He's annoying at times. Are you okay?" he asked. Then, he looked at Aria again. But, Aria avoided his gaze. She doesn't want Leo to notice her swooning over his eyes every time she sees it. "I'm fine," she answered. "Where are we going anyway. I'm not feeling well."

Lizzie could still remember, as if it was just yesterday, how her grandmother would put her in her lap and tell her stories about humans becoming wolves, people who could conjure magic, and those who suck blood when the sun goes down.   Lizzie's grandmother told her every good and bad side of all the creatures existing together in this world.   She thought those were just bed stories. Nothing was real.   But it all changed when she accidentally set their kitchen on fire last week and summoned water to extinguish it. It was like an instinct.    Things got odder when she was able to heal a butterfly. It was as if nothing happened after she mended its broken wing. It was like the butterfly was never hurt when it flew away.   She decided to keep it from her best friend until she confirmed her theory.   Lizzie found her grandmother's grimoire and studied it.

Aria crossed one of the things on her checklist. The graduation ball will be tomorrow, and none of the committees she formed had finished the tasks that Aria gave them. "Where is the food committee?" she asked in the crowd. Most of the seniors were in the hall putting designs on the walls - backdrops. "We could have done a 2000's themed party, or maybe a neon party or any other much simpler themed party. But no. Why did I choose the 1800's again?" Aria asked Lizzie. Aria's eyes roamed around the hall, checking if everyone was doing their job. "Hey!" she called out one of the boys carrying a table. "Can you find Amy? Tell her Aria's looking for her." The boy nodded and went on. "Aria, calm down. We can make it. We have the whole day," Lizzie grabbed Aria's shoulders and turned it to face her. "Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale," she said while doing the same thing. Aria impulsively followed her, which ma
