A Death
My Light in the DarknessSunny kicked the loose pebbles on the ground as she made her way back from the marketplace with fresh bread for the witches. A sudden hoarse scream of agony caused her to lose her footing and she tripped. Getting up, she sped in the direction of the cry as fast as she could. A black figure bent over a limp, lifeless body was all that Sunny saw when she finally arrived. She was too late. The demon flung the body on the ground and fled at the sight of Sunny. She ran to the boy to check for a pulse, even though she already knew she wouldn't find one. She raced back to the cave, destroyed at the loss of a life.

'Around 20?'
Seohyun snapped her fingers and went 'oh my gosh...'
'What is it Seo?' Sooyoung asked.
'Have you guys realised we haven't had an accident with anyone out of that age range in months?'
'Hm... That's true. The girl I saw getting attacked that day on my stroll was also around 20. And Yuri's around 20 too. In fact, it's true. We haven't seen an incident outside that age range in a long long time... That
