Kira opened her eyes and looked around her, panting heavily, she raised her head in a hurry and took a deep breath only to be assaulted by a heavy bout of headache ringing constantly in her head.
"What's going on? Where am I?" She muttered while looking around her. Then she saw the same endless desert that always appeared in her dreams, with the pitch black skies and constant tapping sounds like it came straight out of a horror movie.
"It's a dream again or is it the afterlife? Am I dead?" She thought then stood up and picked a random direction, gently walking towards there. It was an habit of hers to take a walk around the desert, staying in a single position made the tapping sounds and the stagnant desert seem way too frightening.
After walking for a while, the tqpping sounds gradually became louder and like always it meant she'd be leaving soon. She continued walking without a regard, no matter what she did it won't change the outcome so she decided to just let it do whatever it wanted when suddenly she raised her head and saw a crack high up in the sky. It was like a giant sword split the sky and crimson blood was dripping down from the crack.
"What is that??" The ground below her feet started crackling open and suddenly the giant centipede came rushing out of a crack below her feet but this time the centipede rushed towards the crack in the sky, Kira felt a feeling of anger from the centipede like she could feel it's emotions.
"It's angry it's getting invaded? What made that crack in the sky, where is this place. Is it all just a dream or something else?"
The blood pouring in from the crack suddenly rushed at the centipede and twirled round it, the two struggling against the other while the crack in the sky started closing up, Kira watched in shock as the two wrecked each other all over the place when she suddenly felt dizzy and fell unconscious.

"Lady Kira, Lady Kira are you awake?" The first thing Kira heard after waking up was the concerned voice of Silas near her bad shaking her up.
She opened her eyes to find herself back in the villa with Silas sitting beside her bed, the maids in the villa were tidying up the room, one of them was treating her while Draven stood beside the door watching them from afar.
"Silas?" Kira called out.
"Yes lady Kira, how are you feeling?" Silas asked.
"I'm alive? How did I get here?" She wondered aloud.
"I was expecting you to come back soon yesterday night, after a while I left to search for you with Draven and found you unconscious in the Forest." Silas explained.
"And I clearly stated to not go that far, going beyond the villa is dangerous." Silas said with raised eyebrows while Kira just ignored him without replying.
"Oh, did you find anyone else there?" Kira asked.
"We didn't find anything else aside from you." Silas replied.
Kira turned back wondering where the boy who transformed into a wolf was and where the corpses vanished to.
"I'm sure there's something about him that's related to that man, I need to find him!" Kira thought but then calmed down and gave up. It's been over twelve hours since then, it was unlikely he would stay there waiting for them.
She closed her eyes Intending to go back to sleep when she heard a low growl and clenched her stomach.
"Lady Kira you're famished, should I bring some food for you?" Silas asked.
"Alright" Kira agreed instantly, the moment her stomach growled it felt like something was digging through her stomach and the pain was getting unbearable. Silas left and returned to the room a few minutes later with a lavish vegetable dish and a hint of meat.
Kira didn't waste time before digging in taking her first bite then her face crumbled resisting the urge to spit it out.
"Take it away"
"Why? Didn't your stomach grumble just now?" Silas asked.
"I don't feel like eating it just take it away." She said then was about to go back to bed when her stomach cried out again.
"Take a few bites then maybe I'll be convinced lady Kira." Silas said leaving the plate beside her, she stood up again and picked the dish then cut a slice of meat which seemed to be the most appetizing thing on the dish.
"Bring more meat, take the rest away" She said after tasting it, it felt like it was her first time eating meat all over again. Losing interest in anything else apart from the meat.
"Alright then" he said then took the dish out of the room then told a maid outside "Sarah bring more meat, only meat"
A few minutes later, the maid returned with several plates of meat even Silas. Kira stared at the dishes with an hungry look even Silas hadn't seen on her ever before.
"Looks like she's really hungry, I'll just leave for now." He said after watching her dig into the meat without any sort of courtesy.
