I can't believe it's already July. It's been a long wait…"
The clock was ticking to the appointed hour. Midnight was such a fascinating time. With her hood pulled up and arms crossed, Vinca leaned against the broad trunk of a tree.
The 'Buck Moon' shone more than brightly this night. So fascinating and powerful.
It was twenty past the agreed time. With an impatient glance at her watch, she kicked at a loose pebble in frustration. She was about to walk away when she heard a crunch of leaves beneath brisk footsteps.
"Vinca…I'm here…Sorry, I'm late."
Vinca appeared from behind the tree and took lazy strides towards him.
"Oh there you are!" He walked towards her excitedly. He would make this night memorable for her!
Midway through his thought, he felt a sharp jab and a warm stickiness on his neck. Slumping on the ground, his life ebbing away, he looked up to see Vinca's bloodied mouth, fangs bared!
"At this very spot, I put an end to a pedophile like you! This day, I'm at my peak to avenge all those victims who couldn't get justice!"
Smirking, she swirled her cloak and soared into the sky.
