The Hunt Begins

~~~~~~~

At Angel's Haven Cafe,

Inside the beautiful cafe, there was a 25-year-old girl with blue rimmed glasses who passed drinks and snacks to her customers.

The name's Jujuline Lementry. And for 3 months she worked at Angel's Haven Cafe as a waitress. The cafe itself was created by her and her two best friends; Jewel and Mashy.

How do they met?

Jewel Conny, an 18-year-old, was the very first best friend since Juju's last semester of secondary school. She was locked up in Juju's homeroom for the whole night by her bullies. After a few days, she started to befriend with the girl.

She used to be a normal human girl when her aunt cursed her to be a wolfgirl, literally. Despite of all that problem, she was a very bubbly person, as well as fearless in any way since the day where Juju had been protected her until now.

Mashy Castillo, who is just 2 years older than her, is the second bestie of hers and a sissy. They both met when Juju got lost in college on her first day. And he saw her standing cluelessly in the middle of a hall and he guided her until they had found her homeroom. He was a very calm person. He's also who you can let your problems out because he was a great listener.

And now, how do Mashy and Jewel met? It was when Juju and Jewel went out for shopping like typical teenager girls, when Jewel accidentally bumped into Mashy's back when he wasn't looking. He hung out with his other lady friends by the way.

And here they are, opening their first little cafe and, it wasn't what they bargained for. It went insanely famous in Rintis Island, so they had been very busy in the end. Especially today.

Angel's Haven was opened three months ago and was famous for Jewel's sweet snacks, and Mashy's delicious beverages. Juju was only good at taking orders and serve them pretty quickly.

And what's the best thing about staying in Angel's Haven? Its homey vibe and a peaceful silence that helps to calm most people who have stressful days.

Perhaps it is suitable for people with higher status of their work.

"Hey Juj, order for Table 6 and 10, coming up!" Called Mashy from the cashier's counter.

"I'm coming!" The cyan haired waitress immediately came to him. Mashy then threw the orders to her as he sometimes made her going into stunt actions. It was a good thing she caught it quick.

"Geez careful there, Mash. These snacks and drinks aren't gonna float on the floor themselves, y'know?"

"Well, great performance there, girl! Now go ahead and serve them in style."

"Uh, nnnope, pretty boi!"

~•~•~•~

After working for long hours from 8am to 11pm, they have finally closed the cafe while discussing something for the next day. "So, any plans for this Sunday?" Juju asked to her friends.

"Well, we both wanna see you and your little Darky! I miss him already." She squealed a little.

"But weren't you visited us last week?"

"I know but, I miss him already! I know he'll be lonely there in your apartment." She argued. "Well... fine. I'll let him know you guys are coming tomorrow."

Jewel nodded excitedly and gave her first best friend a warm (and tight) hug. Mashy then hugged both the girls gently. They let go and wished each other good nights before parting themselves home.

Juju arrived at her apartment in which it was not very far from the cafe. Just in a few blocks away.

She entered her room, only to find Darky sleeping on the couch while he wrapped himself up in his favourite blue blankie with yellow stars on it.

Juju sighed softly, while carefully slid her arms under his legs and on his back, then picked him up before bringing him into her own room instead of his.

Poor little kid he is. Waiting for her to return home. Good thing it will be Sunday tomorrow. She could bring him along to the picnic, which she was planning to talk about with her best friends.

As Juju arrived at her bedroom door and was about to twist the doorknob opened, a soft tired voice was heard. "M-Mommy? You... came back?" The little Darky asked.

"Not really long, honey. Now, let's get you to sleep, sweetheart."

Darky could've protest his mother, but then again, he sounded exhausted so he just sighed and nodded. "... Okay."

After she put him into her queen sized bed, Juju sat on a large study desk made of mahogany which is messy because of the private documents and reports.

Mostly are about the people who got involved with the mafias, and the mafia themselves.

And no, she is not a detective or even a forensic investigator.

So, what do they want exactly anyway? All she heard from the rumors were that a few mafias from the society wanting to look for the missing Prince of Mafia and his men.

Which, he was under her care. Why? She didn't know, but it does have to do with the deal between the King and the Mafia Huntress.

To be frank, Juju herself is the Mafia Huntress. Those who would look for her may have failed terribly. Even if they do find her, they didn't live to tell the tale. But what they do know, this Huntress only kills any mafia that attempt to burst into her lair.

And she left something before she fled from what she had done, an origami of a pink water lily, with a symbol of a lightning shape.

And inside of the origami, she wrote only one word; "HUNTED"

Now, back to Juju herself, she was smiling. Or to be precise, smirking at the scenes where all of her targetted victims had laid on the ground motionless and bloodied. She was completely satisfied of her handiwork and the water lily origami she left behind as the warning.

"When one who can kill two birds with one stone, I can kill more than two birds with one stone." She muttered to herself.

"Well, time to hunt again."

Somewhere in a secluded area from the North side of Rintis Island,

A figure in icy blue, along with a man with pure white suit, were conversing with each other in private. Their own bodyguards were waiting outside the forest. Only the lights from the black sleek cars could illuminate of the face of the man in white.

Except the figure in icy blue hood.

"So, do you think one of them is the Huntress that took away the son of the Mafia King?"

The figure nodded, "I found out that she had been acting very odd lately. Even more so, I do not remember of her adopting someone's child."

"Very well then," the man chuckled darkly. "if she is near the boy, then I have no choice but to take him by force."

"Take her out if necessary..." The figure suggested.
