The night sky was illuminated with the crescent moon shining like a silvery claw, along with the stars that stretched to infinity.
Running through the dark brown trees, inhaling the decayed air, and discerning the stifling atmosphere.
Azzy was thinking about her dreams the dreams which were leading her toward her destiny.
She was bestowed with an IQ level of 160 along with the pictured memory, but her stepfather treated her like trash.
Just how many countless times she dreamed of putting an end to the suffering, the beatings, and the tortures, until the day she secretly snuck out of the house.
She was on the run for her dreams, she wanted happiness to fill her world, she wanted to be loved, to be trusted, to be treated equally.
Struggling with the bushes, tripping and falling over them, she reached a beautiful circle of five large trees.
She was continuously running after sunset and didn't have any energy to run anymore.
She decide to rest for a moment and sat on the dry leaves, and rested her head on the trunk.
While sitting there she remembered the large picture of the jungle she saw in Adrien's (her stepfather's) room.
She concluded that she was in the middle of the jungle and needed much more time to get out of the jungle than she expected.
She felt the presence of someone right behind her.
She hesitantly looked back to see the person she didn't want to see right now.
Due to fear her whole body was shaking.
She could sense the anger, the fire burning in his eyes.

Alexander De Wale was sitting on his chair in the empty conference room after a meeting with his team.
He was deeply in his thoughts, worried about the drugs coming from Italy.
The ringing of his phone made him snap out of his thoughts.
📱:sir, Nicholus got caught.
📱:Location....
📱:Dragon Alley behind the CDP store.
He ended the call without any further details.
He loaded his gun and took the dragger.
He wore his mask while going out of the room and drove to the alley.
****
The man stood near her and slapped her hard as she landed on the ground.
She felt a tingling sensation on her right cheek.
She knew the consequences of running away.
DEATH!!
was the only punishment Adrien had selected for those who escaped. Adrien made her stand up forcefully and pointed his gun at Azzy's forehead.
"Click!"
Azzy closed her eyes and a scream escaped her mouth as Adrien shot the gun.
She didn't feel any pain. She hurriedly touched the spot and there was no blood.
She opened her eyes and looked around and found Adrien cutting a piece of cloth.
He looked at Azzy and smirked. He stood up and walked towards her, he leaned over to her ear and whispered:
Do you think I will let you die this easily?
Azzy was startled by this sudden question.
Her eyes wide open, she looked at him shockingly.
What was she supposed to answer a YES or a No?
****
I told you Azzy the consequences of running away, you witnessed the death of those who tried to escape. You thought the jungle was safe, I bet you forgot that I am the KING of this jungle. Now rot in this jungle and wait for your death.
He was forcefully tying her to the tree and Azzy was trying to escape.
Adrien slapped her again, much harder than before, and she stopped moving, she let him do whatever he was doing.
When he was done, he slowly stood up and looked at his stepdaughter for the last time before walking back to his car.
Azzy looked at the figure vanishing in the dark and a tear rolled down her cheek.
