The cloud was dark as the rain dropped heavily; thunderclaps rumbled as lightning flashed across the cloud. The woodland murmured as they swung unwillingly from side to side in response to the fierce wind.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4T0Lq02va
Maria ran in the heavy rain, her face and clothes smeared with blood. She kept looking behind her as someone chased after her, panic etched on her face, her eyes red from tears. She ran further and deeper as the forest's winding path seemed to lead her nowhere.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4xmmwb3Om
"Ah!"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAzBapmyhM
Maria screamed when she tumbled to the ground. She struggled to get back on her feet, but it was too late, the man had jumped in front of her; His eyes were red, and his fangs and claws were like razors.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7CXSzOkJb
He took hold of Maria's neck and lifted her off the ground. His eyes glinted viciously as a diabolical smile crept over his face.
When blood began to trickle down from Maria's neck, she struggled, her legs dangling in the air, her eyes wide in panic. He was inflicting pain on her with his claws, carefully inserting them into her neck.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ZEGsx161
"No! No! Stop torturing her!" Mary shouted while in a vision. "Maria! Maria! Maria!" She cried; Her cheeks flushed with tears.
"Stop torturing her." She continued to yell until she lost her voice and collapsed.

Markus stood on a mountain summit, looking down at the panoramic view of the log cabin, standing alone in the idyllic corner of the forest. His hair danced lightly as the soft air blew, his face expressionless. He put one of his hands in his pocket, lifted a cigarette to his lips, and took a drag.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7lsDALBkZ
"Any information from Ransome?" He puffed out smoke from his mouth as he spoke.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9UWXqppw1
"He's not ready to speak; he preferred death, to tell the truth," Lucas informed.
Markus's lips twisted into a devilish grin. "Then he should be craving for death."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAOFBknkDO
"What next?"
Markus dropped the cigarette on the ground and squashed it with his boot. He looked up at the dark sky and leapt away without saying anything.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXIB0s220G
"Damn!" Lucas cursed and dashed after him.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybB93x0GnA
The door creaked open as Markus pushed it open, they entered the basement, which was completely dark. The air was thick with the stench of blood and death. It was a terrible place for anyone to stay.
Markus and Lucas were unconcerned about the darkness because they could see plainly through it. They walked deep into the basement and stopped in front of a cell. They entered it once Lucas unlocked the door.
Markus oozed a malicious aura as they entered the cell. He peered up at the man shackled to the ceiling with manacles. The man was a shambles; his clothing was ripped, and his hair was filthy. Deep wounds and blood covered his body. He'd been tortured that he became older than his age, he'd cried and wailed that he lost his voice. Ransome jerked his head up to look at Markus, who stood in front of him. He struggled to breathe; his eyes had lost their light and were no longer alive.
As Ransome peered up at Markus, Markus' lips twisted into a mischievous smirk.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKNmMadE0R
"Lord Markus........" Ransome said weakly and barely.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgDWXQ5zpV
"Do you know what?" He tilted his head "Never do you know how much a monster like me enjoys killing people," He calmly said, but underneath his word was a warning.
Ransome wailed in agony.
"Where is Hayford?"
Markus's icy voice sent shivers down his spine. "I I....don't know," Ransome murmured.
Markus gripped Ransome's neck, his eyes gleaming with rage. Ransome coughed, his eyes wide with dread.
"Where is he?"
"I....don't......"
Markus dug his claws deep into his chest impatiently and pulled out his throbbing heart without a warning. He nonchalantly tossed his heart to the ground. And cleaned away the blood as Lucas offered him a handkerchief.
He walked out of the cell without looking back and threw away the handkerchief in a corner.

"You seemed to be angry," Lucas said as they exited the dungeon.
