She closed her eyes and she tried to ignore the voices that were hiding in the shadows. She hugged herself. Trying to make herself as small as possible. She was laying on her bed, close to her bedside table where the light from her lamp came from. She could hear the voices from within the shadows, some whispering, some yelling. She tried her best to simply block them out, to ignore them. She simply had to remember that as long as she didn't pay them any attention, they would sooner or later go away.

She tried to look over to her sister's side of the room in the hope that she had come home early from the sleepover at one of their classmate's house, which she herself wasn't invited too, but it was still empty, as she would have to hope that the light from the lamp would be enough until the sun comes up. She already knew that trying to call for her parents would resolve in nothing since they were to some party with her older brother at one of her father's business partner and the babysitter had already come into checking for "monsters under the bed" or in the closet. But since she didn't find anything, she simply assured the little girl that there weren't any "monsters" in the room and it was "safe" to go to sleep.

The little girl had tried to tell her babysitter that the monsters were hiding in the shadows and kept on yelling at her, but without being able to see them, her babysitter simply left her alone in the darkness, telling her to get some sleep. That leaves her alone in her bedroom, left hoping that she would be able to survive without disappearing into that darkness. As her thoughts grow darker and darker with every minute. She could feel as tears began to slowly fall from her eyes, she cried to herself as quietly as she could in hopes that the monsters wouldn't be able to her over their own screams. She then closed her eyes to try and stop the tears from falling.

While all of this was going on all around her, she didn't notice when the door to the bedroom opened and in came a green cat, before it jumped on the bed and made the way around her until it was able to lay against her stomach as it began to purr. Then the cat slowly began to rub it's head against her stomach to get her attention. When she finally opened her eyes to look down at the cat, she gave it a small smile as she reaches out to slowly pet it, resulting in the cat to purr a little louder.

"Big brother?! I thought that you would still be at the party with mom and dad?" Her voice was no louder than a whisper. The green cat slowly turns from a cat to a young green boy, the boy slowly wrapped his arms around his little sister and hugged her close to him. He ran his finger through her long white hair.

"The party wasn't any fun, and to wear an image inducer all night gets boring super fast yo! I rather spend time with my little sister, then at some boring party any time!" He told her with a smile as he continued to run his fingers through her hair, hoping that it would be enough to distract her from the voices. It wasn't the first time he would try to make her feel better when the voices made her feel so scared that she couldn't even leave her room without her sister by her side.

A few moments of silence went by before he tried to once again ask her about "them". He knew that there wasn't any point in asking, but he hoped that talking about it would at the very least help her feel better, even if it only was a little bit. He knew that it wouldn't make "them" go away, but it at the very least seem to help her through the darkest of nights.

She tells him what they are saying, what they are whispering, what they are yelling at her. They want to be set free, they want her to join them, that she is too weak and will never amount to anything, and that no matter what she will always stand in the shadow of her sister's bright and shining light.

As she continued telling him about it, her whole body started to shake and her hold around him slowly got tighter and tighter, but he simply continued to run his finger through her hair in an attempt to calm her down and tries to whisper words of comfort, while he glanced around the room to try and see the monsters that were terrifying his sweet little sister, but as always, he wasn't able to see anything other than the normal room.

"Gar... why won't they stop? I tried to ask as nicely as I could as mother told me to. I tried to tell them to leave me alone as father and Evy told me too. I even tried my best to simply ignore them, as you told me to try. BUT NOTHING WORKS!" She cried into his chest.

"Everything will be okay, my little moon, and no matter what happens I will always be here to protect you! I promise." His words rang in her ear as he hugged her tight.

For some time, he kept that promise. Until one day her big brother simply left without a word to anyone. Her parents tried anything they could think of, but there wasn't any trace of him anywhere and after nearly a year of searching, the police and her parents finally gave up and declared him to be missing, possibly dead. Her parents had been sad for a while, but at the least, their work seemed to distract just fine. In the meantime, Evy and Elena simply stuck together as they always did, but while their parents seem to be fine, the sisters didn't seem to recover as quickly.

Just like right now, they were sitting in their room. Elena was working on her flower arrangement and Evy laying on her bed, "working" to manipulate the light in the room into a laser and were shooting a few small and random things around their room. Elena glanced to her sister every once in a while to make sure that she won't start a fire, before looking back to the flower arrangement. After a few more moments of continued silence, Elena finally decided to say something, since it was clear that Evy wouldn't. But what could she really say right now to break the silence?

Elena reaches out to take another flower when suddenly she heard a voice that sounded nothing like Evy.

"He's not coming back." The voice's words ran through her head.

"Yes, he is. I know he is." She thought back irritated.

"They didn't try hard enough."

"They tried everything they could! Mom and dad tried anything they could... but we haven't tried every that we could..."

"She's not telling you everything, she knows more."

"...She doesn't ... if she did... she would tell me... she wouldn't keep anything about our brother a secret!" She answered back, slowly growing more irritated.

"Would she really?" The voice questioned as a dark shadowy hand reach out to pick up one of the flowers and placed it into the flower arrangement.

"...Yes, she cared about him as much as I do... even you know how important he is to us." She simply answered as she continued her work, trying not to turn her head to look at the shadow.

The shadow had gone quiet as it seems to try and help her with the flower arrangement, she sighs to herself as she looks over to her sister, that seem too cut up in her powers to notice anything, from the corner of her eyes. Despite getting a little better at controlling and taking control of her powers, she would still need the help of her sister for things to stay that way, even if things had slowly grown quiet down lately.

"Why haven't you tried to go out looking for him? With our power, it would be much easier to find him, so why not just let it all out? You could be so much more, but you're just too scared to step out of her shadow, you -." She suddenly slammed her hands down on the table, resolution in her sister losing her focus and sending a blast of light through the room before it hit the flower arrangement, setting it on fire. Elena jumps back from the fire as Evy grab a fire extinguisher from under her bed and extinct the fire. There wasn't much said, other then Elena apologizing for distracting Evy, they simply went back to do what they did before.

They didn't need words, Evy already knew the reason, there wasn't much reason for talking about it. "Evy..." she tried to start but were cut off by Evy that walked over to their walk-in closet to change into a black tank top, black shorts with white knee-high leggings. she also took some black sandals and a white leather jacket. As she walked out of the walk-in closet she went to their shared bathroom to do her makeup and hair. When she was done getting ready, she made one last check in the mirror before leaving the bathroom with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Going to another party? or did you got an interesting date tonight?" Elena asked with a sigh as she laid down on her bed. It wasn't the first time, it wasn't anything new, and with their parents at some fancy party downtown, Evy was free to do whatever. "Yeah, some Idiot taking me to his school dance in Mississippi, good thing that his hot or I would probably have told him to forget it!" Evy answered with a smile, as she turned to her sister. "So how do I look?"

"Good enough for a school dance with an "idiot", just remember to be careful." She answered just in time as they heard the doorbell ring, signalling that Evy's date had arrived. "Well, time for me to go, don't stay up too late Lil' sis and if mom and dad come back early you know what to do!" She said as she grabs a small bag and ran out of their shared room to leave for her date.

When Elena was sure that Evy was gone, she jumped out of bed and ran over to the walk-in closet to change into a long sleeve short black dress, making sure that the dress reaches to a little under her knees, black tights and a pair of her sister's long military boots. she then put her hair in a high ponytail, grab a black mask, and dark blue hooded cape. She then ran out of the walk-in closet to find a lantern and lighting it up

"You're going to see the thief again, right? Tonight he was hired to break into a museum and steal some rare painting, the security system has been updated a few hours ago." She nodded to the shadow as she turned off the light and tried to make a path through the darkness, if she were right about the address then she didn't have to be in there for too long and she won't lose control. She took a deep breath and began to walk, holding the lantern in front of her, as closely as possible, as she walked through the darkness. She held the lantern as close to her as she could, but far enough so she didn't get burned.

"Why are you so interested in this guy?" The shadows question wasn't new, it was the same one as always. She just continued to walk but decided to answer it the same answer as she always did. "I find him interesting, and I just want to talk to him." She answered with as little emotion as she could, as she kept walking down the dark path. "That does not answer why you so interested in seeing every time he's in town." The shadow's voice once again rang through the darkness once again. "I simply want to talk to him, that's why." She answered once again with as little emotion as she could.

Suddenly she came to a stop in front of the shadowy silhouette of the museum.
