Dark Light, White Light: Duet in the Darkness

Chapter 1: Aurora

My name is Cain C. Hargreaves, just call me Cain. I'm just your ordinary earl-heir to the Hargreaves fortune. But this will shock you, I'm only 17.

I live in London at the Hargreaves Mansion with my ten-year old half-sister Mary Weather, and my man-servant Riff. As I've said, I'm just your average earl, with an uncanny ability for solving crimes-didn't mention that! Plus, I do collect poisons as a hobby, and I know dear reader that you maybe asking, "Why would an earl such as me be collecting poisons?"

I'll answer that myself. "Well, I do love the odd and mysterious things that surround me, but my odd hobby does get me into trouble at some point." Well, enough of me, and I'll just get back to the day I met this strange girl named Aurora…

That day I was heading back to the mansion from Uncle Leonard's when I heard a loud gunshot. Doubling back, I saw a girl my age that had long black ebony hair up to her waist, and I saw on the roof-top was a sniper-about to shoot her in the back of the head! Without any thought, I pulled out my semi-automatic –and…shot him in the back of the head!

I then saw that she was wearing a white dress, and she had chocolate brown eyes, it was as if I knew her, since she seemed vaguely familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I heard her say, "So you're Cain Hargreaves, am I right?"

"Yes, I am," I answered bluntly. "Who are you, and how do you know me?" I asked in return.

"Cain, my name is Aurora Harlington, and who wouldn't know you, well you are the heir to the Hargreaves fortune, and might I say-quite rich, and I thank you for saving my life," she answered with the utmost appreciation.

Aurora then followed me home, I didn't mind one bit, but why was she about to be shot, also who or what was after her? I pondered this as we reached the front door of the mansion. But I was surprised when Mary Weather opened the door instead of Riff, since she said that Riff was in the garden replanting the flowers.
