Axel watched the vice president from afar. He stood on top of a building with a red hood that fell from the wind around him. The moonlight rained upon him, and the boy felt a weird kind of guilt watching the woman.
Maybe that was the reason why he waited for the woman to finish evacuating people. Unknowingly, the boy tried to protect the woman.
The wind moved weirdly for a split second, making Axel side-eyed the shadow behind him.
Axel suddenly froze as he felt a dangerous presence breathing in his ears. His blue eye sharpened, ready to take down whoever was standing behind him.
He clenched his right fist and spun around, throwing his hand to the person behind him. The said person caught his hand with ease, causing Axel to widen his blue eye.
A familiar torn navy cloak and the obvious blindfold over the said person's eyes made all the hair on Axel's body stand. The person smiled at him, and somehow it felt a little familiar. It was as if he'd seen that smile somewhere.
