Whoosh…Whoosh. I flapped my black wings under the midnight sky toward Night's house. She was expecting me and probably already has something for me there.

Are you sure you're up for this? Alicia asked.

Of course, I mean, why wouldn't I be. I answered.

Well…

Don't you dare!

I nearly hit a tree arguing with her, but one of the limbs scratched my arm. I cringed in the slight pain. I growled at her, forgetting that she's a part of me and I don't get intimidated.

After a few hours of traveling and taking short breaks, I arrived at Night's house. I tiptoed towards a window and tapped it. She was sitting on the couch, staring into space. I tapped harder.

No response.

I knocked.

Nothing.

I picked up a few pebbles and threw them all at once.

Still nothing.

I sighed angrily. I picked up a large rock and threw it.

Turns out, I threw it a little too hard and busted the window. Well, at least it got Night's attention.

She shot up and looked around to see what was going on.

I guess you gotta throw yet another rock at her. Alicia sighed.

I picked another rock, but before I could throw it she found me.

About damn time!

Shhhh! Be nice! I told her.

I waved at her with a smile. She gave a quizzical look.

"Um, hi there!" I said.

"Shadow!" a dark skinned girl gave me a death hug.

"Hey Wolfie!" I strained myself to say.

Night ran over to me and hugged me too.

"You're gonna pay for that window." She whispered.

I laughed nervously. Wolfie tugged me into the living room and pushed me down into the couch like I was about to get interrogated.

"Where have you been for the past two hours." Wolfie asked.

"Wal-Mart." I answered.

"And…"

"The mini market."

"AND…."

"What else is there to say?"

She sighed. "I give up."

"Um…what were you trying to prove?" Night asked.

Wolfie whispered her idea and Night started laughing loudly.

Then Wolfie slapped her.

"Don't laugh at my brilliant plans! They're brilliant!" she yelled.

Well then, one more thing not to do around her. Alicia said.

Yup. Now all I gotta do is just steal some- I was interrupted by a massive headache.

I cringed at the pain. Night and Wolfie hovered over me.

"Um, you ok?" Night asked.

"Yea, just a slight-"I passed out.

Alicia, what's going on?

No clue.

Well, Alicia, it looks like I caught up with you. A boy-sounding voice said.

Please don't let it be him. Alicia said.

Him? Him who?

She sighed. Shit is about to go down.
