The day of the departure arrived at last, and Jennet was still asleep when the day came. She woke up from her slumber when she heard a loud bang from the outside of her room.
No, the sound came from outside the villa!
She lifted her head and squinted her eyes. Everything around her was bright as it was already the day. Then, she glanced to her side and found the spot beside her was empty.
"Hue?" she called out for her husband. At the same moment, she spotted a few black figures flying outside the window. She flinched on the bed. Then, she hurried up, scooted to the corner of the bed and held the blanket close to her erratic chest. Her eyes widened in fear when she saw the figures appearing at the window again.
"Hue!!" she screamed her husband's name.
One of the mysterious and hooded dark figures, stopped when it heard her scream. It veered around slowly and saw her in the room. It flew closer to the window and peered inside, looking straight at her face.
