PROLOGUE

It was a dark night full of webs in the clumpy bushes, groups of wolves howling at a distance, owls squalling at the branches of tall shaded pines and smells of rotting woods and grasses contrasted the sight as the mark of the death... a forest that has taken many lives of unknown men.

Her boots were running fast, hairs blew open in the air and blood shredded out from her temples. But, she still tried to hide herself.

"Ouch!"

She fell down on her way because of some rocks holding her to step back.

"Ah!" She cried, again.

And the ones who wanted her at any cost, started coming towards the way who stood whining in pain.

"I warn you, don't come near me or you have no idea what will come next!" The girl exclaimed.

The man who was wearing a black hoodie and jogger pants, covering his face with a ghost mask started laughing at her evilly gazing all around her injured body, like a beast.

"Can I know," he came close to her chin, an evil smirk playing on his stares "whom you are speaking to?"

"It's you, DIRTY MAN!" She avoided his evil smirk and grimaced.

"Pretty girl!" He whispered near her ears, "It seems like your voice becomes much sweeter when you look annoyed."

"What do you want from me, you son of a BITCH!" Her voice sounded like thunder and then, she lent him a kick on his stomach.

"Ugh!" He bounced back to a distance and began to cough. "HOW DARE YOU?!" He yelled, showing out his red eyes while putting one of his hands on his belly.

The other man appeared in front of the girl, who was wearing a red jumper and a joker mask on his face. "Pretty girl... don't act like a baby. It doesn't suit you, well!"

"Neither am I a baby nor am I a pretty girl! Just leave me alone or..." She hadn't completed her sentence when the man with the ghost mask stood up and said, "Or, what? Remember, you're only a girl!"

"Yes, I know well that I am a girl!"

"Women are born only for pleasing men and to make the future selves. You knew right?"

"What do you mean by that? Women don't have any feelings? Then why don't you just tell that we are robots and you people a-a-are humans?!" She busted out with teary eyes.

"Well yes, why not?"

"Then why won't you people reproduce?"

"Maybe for god's will, we don't reproduce." "Damn, you are just wasting our time... hey!" He waved his hand to the joker man who was standing now, near a pine tree, "Put her into the car."

"Y-y-you can't let me into that car!" She sobbed.

"Sorry baby girl..."

The guy with the joker mask came near her, running his hands to one of his jeans pockets and before she could say anything, "Let the dagger be in your gut...!"
