Chapter 1: Shadows of the Day
The students were all lined up in an orderly fashion as their teacher lead them down the long hall and into the computers classroom. at the end of the line was a very silent and mysterious human girl. She had jet black hair that had crimson and cobalt blue streaks in it. Her longer bangs swept over the left side of her face, covering most of it. She had a few freckles on her cheeks and nose. From her nose, down, was a black face mask that covered almost every detail on her face. She had a slender body that was strong and agile. The girl wore a plain black long sleeve shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black runners. On her face was a pair of tinted red sunglasses that covered her eyes.
No one had ever seen what's underneath her mask. She also rarely spoke, and if she did it was in a monotonous voice that sounded robotic in origin. If anyone was around to hear her speak, they wouldn't dare look at her again. She was very intimidating and could hear anything in her range of sight, almost as if she had super hearing. This girl was also very string and aggressive if need be.
She never fought unless she had to which just so happened to be on one odd occasion when the bullies threatened her and tried to beat her up. Instead, the girl had sent them running to their mommies.
As they walked down the hall two boys in the front of the line whispered to each other.
"Jake, what do you think of that new girl?" asked the tallest of the two.
The other replied with a shoulder shrug "I don't know what to think Sean, except that she's quiet and super smart. The one thing I don't get it why she hides her face all the time. She's the only one allowed to wear sunglasses and a face mask during class without getting in trouble!".
The girl overheard them talking about her, but she didn't care what others thought of her. She kept her expression neutral the entire time.
Once in the computers classroom, Shadow sat in her far corner spot where she was assigned since she started attending this new school a week back. Her last school hadn't let her nit answer them or wear her face gear so she moved to her current junior high. Usually she never was accepted, but she didn't care. She seemed lifeless most of the time.
"Well I think she's an alien! Don't you think? She acts like one!" Sean exclaimed a little to loud then he meant to sound.
The girl in question didn't say anything. She continued to listen until her computer teacher miss Jenkins spoke up.
"Good afternoon grade eights! Today we are going to start a project on urban legends. I will assign each of you a different one to do." Miss Jenkins spoke.
She then called each student off one by one.
"Shadow Star: you will be studying aliens.".
"Shadow Star acknowledges." the girl spoke in her monotonous voice which creeped everybody out.
Miss Jenkins called everyone else out and by the time she had assigned everyone a topic Shadow Star had already found all the information she needed. Everyone else began while Shadow sat patiently for Miss Jenkins to acknowledge her.
She walked over to where Shadow sat and asked "Wow, you sure are fast. Is there something you want to do? You could play games, listen to music, read, or something which you wait for class to finish.".
Shadow nodded then pulled her iPod out of her jean pocket, stuck in her headphones, and blasted her music up in her ears. Miss Jenkins smiled then left Shadow to her own thoughts which she didn't seem to have. She stuck on the song E.T. by Katy Perry on first. After all, it was her favorite song.
School had ended and Shadow was standing out in the thunderstorm with her blue sweaters hood up and her hands in her pockets. People passed her on their way out of the school. The last one to come was Miss Jenkins.
She placed a hand on Shadow's shoulder and asked "Do you need a ride home Shadow?".
Shadow shook her head and said "Negative.".
Miss Jenkins patted her shoulder with a smile before nodding and heading to her car in the parking lot.
Shadow stayed neutral as she waited for her bus to come.
Shadow Star was an orphan. She lived at the orphanage downtown with a whole bunch of other kids like her. Finally the private orphanage bus came and let Shadow on. The driver nodded in acknowledgment to her as she walked on and sat in her seat at the very back. Shadow had the window seat. In front of her sat two girls known as Kristine and Jade. They were the two that picked on everybody. They had also learned long ago not to mess with Shadow.
It was a long ride back to the orphanage, but Shadow didn't seem to mind. Once they arrived all forty-five of them got out and headed into the orphanage. Shadow was last to get off the bus. The bus driver, Lincoln Fist, smiled at Shadow as she nodded in acknowledgment before she walked off the bus. The bus was more of a prison bus then anything. The orphanage didn't want anyone to leave so it was all guarded twenty-four seven.
Shadow walked straight and tall into the orphanage. The doors clamped shut behind her as she walked into the main hall that was filled with rec. rooms, dining rooms, and other important areas like the adoption area where meetings with the orphans and the parents who wanted to adopt. She walked at a steady pace, not showing any emotion, towards the stairs. She held the rail as she climbed each step carefully until she came to a door at the top which led into a another long hallway. It had many doors which made up the orphan's rooms. Shadow came to the very end of the hall and opened the last door on the left. It opened to reveal a small metal room with a desk, a bed, an iPod dock, a closet, and a bookshelf.
The desk had a laptop onto of it which was plugged into the wall, a book about astronomy, and a DVD player which hooked up to the laptop. The bed was very plain, with black blankets and pillows and a plush iPod which could connect with a real iPod and play music through the built in speaker. Inside the closet were Shadow's basic clothes. Jeans of all sorts, a variety of long sleeved shirts, combat boots, runners, and an extra supply of face masks and sunglasses. The bookshelf held Shadow's DVDs, CDs, and books about space, math, science, and music. Shadow had bought these items with money she had earned from her part-time newspaper delivery job which she quit a while back.
Finally alone in the comforts of her - hopefully temporary- home, Shadow pulled off her face mask and glasses to reveal a light skinned face, crimson eyes, lightly freckled cheeks, and thick eyebrows. Shadow sighed and plopped herself down on her bed. She never showed her true self to anyone. Nobody had ever seen her without her face gear on. Shadow sighed once again -out of mixed emotions this time-before getting up and heading to her desk. She grabbed her headphones and plugged them into the headphone jack in the laptop before running the startup sequence she had installed on it.

Welcome Shadow Star, what would you like to access?
The monitor read in question.
Shadow star typed once again.
Find information on the Mission City terrorists of 07, and terrorists of Egypt in 09
The computer responded by bringing up a bunch of news articles, photos, videos, and other media about the terrorists that attacked a few years back. Shadow wanted to discover the truth behind the terrorists so that maybe she would be taken away from the orphanage to live a better life.
Suddenly the fire alarm started going off.
'Odd...' thought Shadow. 'There wasn't supposed to be a fire drill.. Whatever. I'll grab my bag just in case..'.
She always had her bag ready for anything. It was filled with the basic necessities, she just stuffed her laptop and iPod in and headed out while slipping on her face mask and glasses. Once out of the building, Shadow looked around. There was nobody anywhere near the meeting place! She was becoming slightly concerned now even though she didn't show it...
'This could be a prank played by Kristine and Jade..' Shadow guessed. 'No, they would've jumped out by now... Where is everybody?'.
Suddenly, out of the blue, a police car zoomed into the lot and swerved to a stop, mere meters away from where Shadow Star stood.
"Are you Shadow Star!" a Deep voice asked almost annoyed and angrily.
The voice seemed to be coming from the police cruiser. It was a Saleen Mustang police cruiser with the words: To punish and enslave... written on the side in silver handwriting. The words didn't startle Shadow in the least, but made her feel the need to take caution.
Shadow didn't answer the question when suddenly a man burst out of the police cruiser with a gun in his hand.
'Oh, fuck..' Shadow thought with slight anxiety and trying her best not to show it which thankfully didn't show.
"ARE YOU SHADOW STAR?" the man asked even angrier now.
He walked over to Shadow and pinned her against the police cruiser's hood. her head banged on the metal and caused a slight throbbing pain to erupt in her head. Shadow didn't move or answer as he aimed the gun at her chest and held her arms up in a tight and aggressive grip above her head.
"I'm only gonna ask you once... ARE YOU SHADOW STAR?" he yelled, kneeing her in the stomach and causing her to try and grasp it to no avail.
The man had messy black hair, crimson eyes that closely resembled Shadow's, and wore a black police uniform with a badge that had a weird purple insignia on it that matched the one on the police cruiser. Shadow stared up at the man in question. Was he going to kill her? Why was she so important? After all, she was just an orphan. No one cared for her. Her life wasn't going to get any better, so with that thought in mind Shadow nodded as the man lifted her up over his shoulder and carried her out to his police cruiser. Shadow didn't feel the need to do anything. As long as she wasn't at the orphanage, she would be fine.
"YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!" the man boomed as he tossed her in the back of the cruiser, slamming the door shut and zooming off, sirens blaring.
'I wonder what he wants?..'she thought, almost regretting cooperating with him and letting him take her away from the only life she's ever known. This was only gonna get worse...
