Chapter 1 - The Cursed Child (2/2)

"I know! She's so talented at a young age and look how beautiful she is! She will bring this whole village to new heights one day!"

The middle-aged man's brow lift up. A sinister smile curled up on his face.

------

At midnight , 20 black-suited man came up at the entrance on the village.

It rain with blood that very night. One can hear loud screaming and agonizing voices.

"Assassins!"

"Help us!"

Yi Wen woke up startled. He woke up his wife and his daughter. Whispering them to run through the forest and meet him over at his small hut. Where he skins his preys during the time he hunts.

"Feng'er , you must bring Ling'er over there. Run as fast as you can, I will be there soon. I need to look over the situation and if danger awaits, I must lure them away from you." He kissed his wife's forehead.

"Brother Wen, you must come back to us alive! Your daughter and I will wait for you." As tears fell down Yi Feng's face.

Yi Ling was shaking, she heard a lot of screaming. She was scared.

Seeing his daughter trembling, he hugged her and his wife.

"Yi Ling, you must be brave! Follow your mother to my hut, don't make a noise! I love you both."

He then pushed them out to the back door, looking out as they fled through the forest.

Not knowing that it would be the last time that they will see each other in this lifetime.
