章 111: Forget about the wedding

Running on his fours, Ai halts in his track when he hears a strange sound. His little nose twitches a few times, trying to sense something. The castle is empty. The hallways are filled with harrowing silence. Only his breathing sound is heard by him.

He hastens toward the scent. Everything inside him is being pulled toward it. He doesn't know what it is or why it's happening to him. He blinks his eyes several times, trying to control himself. His instincts are telling him to stop. At the same time, something is calling to him. He hesitates for a few moments. He could tell that it would fill the emptiness inside him. The need to acquire it and become whole overpowers his rational thoughts. He dashes toward the room in the end of the hall. 

Inside the room, only darkness welcome him. He prowls around the room, looking for the thing that attracted him to this place. 

The door is closed. The scent is also gone.
