As the Night Falls

You Approach me Quietly

Removing the darkness to Wake me
From my Sleep

And Leaving me Through the Open Window

_EXO Moonlight

The sea seemed calm. Everything was serene and quite except for the wind that would make a noise now and then. The wind that blew was cold, cold enough to send shivers through one's body. The moon hanged there where it was supposed to be, blazing with its light. It even managed to hide the stars behind its light.

She was standing on the deck of the boat, enjoying the beautiful sight, when Carlo arrived her.
"Isn't it cold outside?" he stood beside her crossing his arms, grinning from ear to ear.

She looked at him, feeling uncomfortable but smiled. "It is. But the sight of the moon is too beautiful to be ignored." she said looking at the sky.
There was something strange in Carlo's expressions that was bothering her. His wide smile was putting her nose out of joint. Whatever it was she needed to figure it out soon.

"Sir! We will arrive at the port in two hours" They were standing there enjoying the moon when a man informed them. Carlo turned around to look at the man.

"Is everything prepared?" He asked becoming serious.
"We are prepared. No need to worry about anything" she spoke before the man could answer, still looking at the moon.

"Today is a day we will remember" she looked at him smiling.

His eyebrows knitted as he looked at her in confusion. Fraudulent.

"Today is a big day for us after all." she let out a small laugh as she noticed Carlo's fallacious expression. Carlo, after understanding her point, also laughed.

Carlo became serious again when he saw that his man was still standing there.
"Where is Maxim?" he asked the man who was looking down.

"He said that he will check everything again" the man answered now looking at Carlo.
"I don't know what would I do without him" Carlo said.

"I will go get some rest before we arrive as we still have time" she said walking away from Carlo.

"Keep an eye on her" Carlo ordered his man. The man bowed down a little and left.
Carlo probably glanced at her steps going away but not the look on her face.

"Ron! you better not destroy everything or I'll kill you with my own hands" she murmured to herself while walking towards her room.

"Plan is going really well huh??" She was stopped by the voice. Knowing who that was she turned around, smirking.
"To your disappointment, yes" she said still smirking.
Ron laughed hard. " You really are stubborn" she was taken aback by his reaction but tried to compose her posture. She gazed at his face trying to read what he has been planning. He gazed back, not giving a single clue.
She turned around after smiling at him.
"You are not gonna make it" he said having a serious look on his face.
"I will make sure you don't" and he smirked again gazing at her figure walking away.

After the said time she felt a commotion outside. She noticed that the ship had now came to a stop. A smirk appeared on her lips. She was going towards the door when she heard a knock on it. A gun was pointed at her as soon as she opened the door to her cabin.
"Whats going on Joseph?" She asked the man who had pointed the gun at her, taken by surprise. her hands were cuffed, she was dragged out and was taken to Carlo out of the ship. She looked around, and from the little lights that illuminated the port she could see that it was different from the one they were headed to.

She was taken towards a bridge not far away.Carlo stood there with his back towards her.

"Let me go" she shouted at the man who was literally dragging her.
"What is this all about?" She yelled at Carlo, outraged with anger.
"You really thought you can betray me with the other group" he turned around laughing.

Her expressions loosened on the sudden realization. So he knew that.

"You sly fox, how did you even thought you could deceive me" Carlo mocked at her. She rolled her eyes, annoyed by Carlo's jactitation, but managed to hide it.
"Just what you think you are" she scoffed. "Merely a puppet Mr. Carlo" she was responded with a fist across her face. She fell down to her knees, her jaws clenched.

Carlo bent down to her level.
"How much they fed you with to betray me?" Grabbing her chin he forced her face up, with a bloody expression on his face.
Carlo stood back up, taking the gun from one of his men he turned around and moved some steps away from her. The man beside her pulled her up making her stand up on her feet again. Carlo faced her, pointing the gun at her forehead.
"You never knew that I know everything you were going to do, did you?" he said smirking.
"Here comes your end"

She only had one name in her mind, Ron. She pursed her lips due to anger, but her gaze not leaving the evil face of Carlo.

She moved her eyes from Carlo's face to the brink of the bridge they were standing on. The moonlight lightened the water enough for her to see.
A smirk appeared on her face.

"You never know until the end" saying that she swirled her foot in the air kicking the man beside her and ran towards the edge. She was fast enough to dodge the bullet Carlo had fired and jumped into the water.

Carlo fired the gun but missed his target as he himself was hit with a bullet in the leg from behind.
"Drop your guns and put your hands up in the air" Thats when Carlo realized that they were surrounded by the cops. "Shit" Carlo cursed. He tried to escape the other group she betrayed him with but got himself stuck amidst of the cops. They were on a bridge and he knew there was no escape now. After a few minutes of fires from both sides Carlo and his men were captured.

It was a cold night, but the atmosphere inside the club was warm, due to the heat produced by dancing and grinding bodies.
People were dancing to the beat of fast music as if something has possessed their bodies. The colorful disco lights, laser beams and beams of black lights shining on people created a magical sight. The bodies on the floor were flowing along with the music, letting all their worries go. Many had beverage bottles in their hands as they danced, engrossed in the moment.

It was a club where the VIPs were free to enjoy, free from their busy schedules and the paperazzi. There was no fear of any scandals or leaks as it was guarded heavily.

He was sitting alone at the counter of the bar, sipping from his drink waiting for Yura for the last one hour. He was happy. It has been a month since he last saw her as he was busy in his concert and tour. He missed her and finally he was here to meet her.

He just took a light drink as he didn't want to get drunk before Yura gets there. But she was nowhere to be found. He finished his third glass and asked the bartender for another.
Why is she taking so much time?
Just when he saw someone entering the club looking like her. He left his drink there and went towards her. He called her a few times but she didn't look back so he grabbed her by her arm but when she turned..
"Oh, I am sorry I thought you were my friend." He said a little embarrassed. It was not Yura.

Waiting for Yura on the bar counter, he didn't notice the black figure sitting in a corner, whose eyes were fixed on him, like a lion gazing at its prey. And when he went after the person he thought to be Yura, that black figure stood up from the seat and went towards where he was sitting. Smirking, the black figure took out a small bottle from one of its pockets and poured a little of its contents into his drink.

He came back towards the counter and took back his drink, the one he had left behind. He finished the drink and yet she was not here. Suddenly his head started spinning. He couldn't see clearly. He blinked his eyes several times but it didn't help. He tried to stand up from his seat, clenching onto the counter top. Everything in front of him became blur and then....black.
