Padme was a peculiar girl. Her stylish dark attire and her striking brown eyes were just two of the many things that set her apart from the rest of the townsfolk. She lived in a quaint little town east of Paris, she held a secret that terrified her.

Zoé was Padme's best friend, a curious and adventurous girl. She always wondered about Padme's secret and was determined to uncover it. One day, she decided to follow Padme into the forest.

The forest was ominous and desolate. It was said that if you screamed, no one would hear you. As Zoé followed Padme, she saw a group of individuals with dark, terrifying-looking robes surrounding a statue.

The statue was of a tall, thin man. Zoé watched as Padme approached the group. They seemed to be waiting for her. She was terrified but kept watching.

Zoé returned to the town scared, she spent days without being able to sleep because of what she saw, until one day she couldn't stand talking to a neighbor anymore and decided to tell her everything she saw... She didn't think it was that important, but she neighbor spread the rumor through the town, and everyone, instead of believing the story, began to rumor that Zoé was going crazy.

One day, a group of children were playing with a ball on the outskirts of the town. Suddenly, the ball was kicked into the forest, and all but one of the children went to retrieve it. The remaining child came back, pale and speechless.

The townsfolk were worried about the missing children. They questioned the child who came back, but he was unable to speak. He just back with an empty look, as if he had lost his soul.

Padme knew she was responsible for the disappearances, but she had no choice. Padme spoke with Zoé, she wanted to fix the things that she had been forced to do, Zoé understood her and they headed to the forest. When they reached the forest, they saw the children tied up. Padmé looked at Zoé and secretly "did they say what we will do?", Zoé tells her "you distract them, and I untied them" and so they did, the moment the men in black robes were distracted, Zoé ran and untied them

But as she ran, one of the men in tunic grabbed her from behind, when she screamed everyone went to her and tied her up, Padmé tried to rescue her, but Zoé screamed "RUN AWAY!" and she did it

Padmé returned to the town and made the people believe that she rescued the children, everyone shouted and adored her, they thanked her for the rescue, Zoé on the other hand had not appeared for days, she was tied up, tired of being on her knees, hungry and fainted, In front of the statue stood a female figure. A familiar silhouette appeared in front of her, when she raised her head she saw that it was Padmé, she smiled at him and with her faint and trembling voice said "you're back", Padmé smi

- "Padme, what's happening? ¿Why do you act like this?" -"You shouldn't interfere Zoé, this doesn't matter to you" - "But why all these things, all those people? because you?" - "None of them deserved to be here, they had no right. ¿Don't you realize? I Ius wanted to have litle fun" -"You are crazy..." -"Just don't say another word! You didn't notice the presence of any of them until his photo appeared in the new paper with the "wanted..."

-"No, it wasn't like that. Get out of here, you are a disservice to this place. I thought you were my friend, Padme" - "Do you think I feel bad for every thing i did? Get out of that fantasy world where you live, I'm not your friend. Don't think everyone is good. Don't play heroin now, that won't work for you..."

Zoé's eyes reflected pain at those words, but the girl before her eyes showed nothing but perversion. Zoé looked at her with tears in her eyes and a lost look "I thought you were different, but you ended up being a monster."

Padmé lets out a laugh, and, looking at her with contempt, says "time to finish the sacrifice."

When she takes out her knife to stick it in Zoé's heart, someone hits her from behind.

Zoé, upon opening her eyes, sees the boy who had a blank look and did not speak, with a branch already destroyed by the blow he gave to Padmé. She looks at it and smiles saying "no more monster."

Instantly the boy regained his gaze and looked alive again, he helped Zoé to let go... And they ran back to the town, leaving behind a knocked out Padmé

Zoé asked the boy not to talk about what happened, and Zoé stayed taking care of the forest, to prevent someone from suffering the fate that awaited her if it weren't for the boy who rescued her.

And Padmé prowls the forest, waiting for a victim, a pure and innocent soul to complete the sacrifice...
