"AHHHH!"
Slash!
"ARGHHH!"
"NO!"
Bam!
The peaceful night beneath the old stone bridge shattered in an instant.
The sound of steel slicing through flesh echoed beneath the bridge, followed by the heavy thuds of bodies crashing into wooden crates, broken barrels, and scattered boxes that made up the children's small camp.
Lucy slowly frowned in her sleep.
"...Hmm..."
She rolled over beneath her thin blanket, rubbing one eye lazily.
She was still half asleep.
Another scream tore through the night.
"AHHHHH!"
Slash!
Bam!
"W-What's going on...?"
Lucy's vision remained blurry making everything before her looked like moving shadows.
She blinked repeatedly, trying to clear her eyes.
Little by little...
The chaotic scene became clearer.
Children were running in every direction.
Some cried while trying to escape.
Others struggled desperately against several mysterious men dressed completely in black.
