The sun started to rise, illuminating the world. Giving light to the dark & nasty corners of Welbrook, a town situated a few km away from California.

Sensing the new day and seeing the darkness gone, the birds got out of their hidings. The beautiful sounds of the species of the wind filled the surrounding, making its morning beauty increase.

Seeing the beautiful morning, people got out of their humble abodes. And started going to their assigned destinations. Schools, offices, the shops, every place started to fill with people & they started doing their work.

Welbrook was a well populated area with different kinds of residents. There were the ones that were on the top of the ladder. The Billionaires. Then there were mediocre business men , the owners of few shops, famous social workers, the doctors. And then there the ones that were considered a "Middle Class" including the teachers, office workers, some anonymous writers, waiters, & the construction workers.

The neighborhood of Welbrook was a pleasant site to one's eye...but at night it turns to a horror. The darkness fills every corner of the town, discarding the calmness from its core. A time for every nasty thing to come out. The criminals, drug lords, thieves, the children abductors. But that's not the only horror that comes out every night. There was something...something more crueler more evil...out there. Taking the one that fall prey to its tactics with them. No one dares to know what it is & most of them do not believe in it.

But there was One that wasn't afraid of the darkness, instead he welcomed it with open arms and wasn't afraid to face it. But Alas!... No one knew who the One was too.

The neighborhood had beautiful big mansions but the one that was the envy of all the people was the Shaw's Mansion. The beautiful mansion stood with all its glory. Outshining other manors and houses. The mansion itself screamed "power & respect" stretched across many miles, in front of the vast forest. People knew someone of great power lived there. Someone who no one dares to defy.

Inside the Shaw Mansion , the old butler- Mr James Matthews cut off the call and placed the phone on the kitchen counter in a hurry and quickly dashed- as his old self allowed him- towards the royal marbled staircase in the middle of the big hall. A chandelier made of white crystal and emeralds embedded on it sparkled due to the sunlight falling on it, hung on the ceiling at upper end of the wide staircase. Mr Mathews turned a hallway and quickly rushed towards the gym on the second floor.

He burst through the double doors of the gym , panting as if he ran a kilometer. His age doesn't allow him to do such things. The gym rang with noises of punches and kicks. Mr Mathews gulped the air in his lungs & breathed out to calm his frantic nerves. After a while as his breathing evened, he straightened his posture and moved ahead determinedly. He stood a few feet away from the punching bag that swung back & forth due to force.

"He is upset again" Mr Mathews thought and sighed. He didn't cower away from where he stood because he knew the man who was angrily punching the bag hung by the ceiling, very well.

"Sir?", the old man called but only got the sound of punches in reply. "Sir" he tried again a bit louder then before wanting to deliver the news quickly but it didnt seem to catch the man's attention.'Very well then' he thought, cleared his throat and took a deep and said in a firm voice " Dimitri Shaw Zachariya!"

Mr Mathews knew whenever the man in front of him goes upset, he wouldn't listen to anything until he got his anger out. So he tends calls him by his full name which succeeds to catch Dimitri attention everytime. The man- Dimitri stepped away from the punching bag breathing heavily trying to control the rage within him.

After a seconds of utter silence he spoke, his voice rough & husky "Yes Mr Mathews?". Satisfied, Mr Mathews replied " I've got some news for you about..." he trailed taking deep breaths. Dimitri glanced towards his butler "Mr Mathews" he said in a firm voice. Mr Mathews cleared his throat " ...new about Ackes Hammings sir" he answered breathlessly.

Dimitri nodded "What about it?" he asked focusing on the tapes on his hand. When he got no reply Dimitri turned toward his butler and saw the old man standing stifly. His eyebrows furrowed from confusion about his butler's stance. "Mr Mathews" he said. "What is it?"he asked in a firm voice leaving room for no argument whatsoever.

Mr James Mathews brought his eyes slowly up from the ground and looked at Dimitri. So many emotion were swerlling inside of him grief,sadness he didn't know what to do so he answered "Mister Ackes-him...your men said that he....they found him dead!" he whispered his voice grieve stricken.

Dimitri's body stiffened, he clenched his hands into fists. "WHAT!" he exclaimed loudly, his voice echoing through the empty mansion. His fists shook with rage. "They said they found a sign etched on his forehead" Mr Mathews said anger slowly consuming him too but he composed himself. "What sign?!" Dimitri growled, his body shook with rage. "The sign sir... His sign... " he said. The rage inside Dimitri Ross to extreme, his fist clenched tightly, his pupils dilated almost making his eyes two shade darker.

Ackes Hammings was a person he trusted a lot. They were friends... He knew about Dimitri's secret... secret know one knew except just a few. He walked towards the window and stood there staring at the vast forest. His eyes held fury, rage. He knew to whom the sign belonged. "Damn it!", he roared and punched the wall beside him, leaving a quite big dent there. He raked his fingers through his hair trying to think. Without another thought thought he took his cellphone from his pocket and dialled a number to the person, who would be willing to help in a matter he have to fulfill now.

"SAM!", he raised his voice. "Woah!...Hello to you too mate. Is everything alright? I sense something's wrong" came the reply of his "best bud" as Sam likes to say it. Dimitri closed his eyes and growled " Sam....it's Ackes...." he trailed, opened his eyes and glared at the lush green forest. Pure rage swirled in his eyes. "What? Is everything alright? Is Ackes with you mate? You know he likes to do pranks....that guy is old but..." Sam rambling was cut off by Dimitri reply.

"HE'S DEAD DAMNIT!" he roared "Ackes. Is. Dead!" No reply came from the other side, just the sound of breathing. "W-what... H-how is that even possible... that can't be true!!!" Sam exclaimed. "He is! ....my men found his body... that's not the only thing" he growled "...they also found a fucking mark etched on his forehead" "Mark?" Sam asked utterly confused. "That son's of bitch mark!!! THAT RUNE!...HIS RUNE!!!" he punched the wall near him, again. "Wha-HIS !!! GOD DAMNIT!!! HOW THE FUCK HE GOT HERE ! HOW DID HE FIND HIM" Sam yelled shocked to the core. "I don't know...but you know what we have to do now." he said in flat voice, his mood suddenly changing from rage to seriousness. "Do you mean finding her-" Sam's words were cut off mid sentence "Yes!I made a promise and I have to fulfill it" he replied his voice as hard as a stone.

Sam sighed on the other side, he was sad about his friend's death. It hit him like a train, knocking the breath out of him. "Alright mate....what are we gonna do?" He asked Dimitri. He looked outside towards the woods thinking about him & the danger. His eyes narrowed How the fuck did he find Ackes?? he thought. Now he has to fulfil his promise and protect what Ackes unfortunately couldn't. "Call the council ..... We're going to find her at any cost!" he said in a calm voice. Everyone knew that it's always calm before a storm.
