Chapter 1

A girl sat bolt right up, gasping; her eyes were opened wide as she stared into the darkness in front of her. She laid a pale shaking hand on her heavily heaving chest, trying to control her overflowing emotions of fear and confusion. Her breathing gradually slowed as she took deep breaths, forcing herself to breath normally. Then carefully, she untangled herself from the blanket that had wrapped tightly around her legs during her fitful sleep.

She turned toward the window from where cold drafts of wind blew towards her and found it shattered. Pieces of it were littered all over her blanket and some seemed to have flew past her face, leaving red scratches behind. Staring out of the window, the moon illuminated her pale face made paler by the moon and showed a small red gem on her forehead, she pushed her shoulder length hair out of her eyes and revealed a pair of ghostly violet eyes.

"Oh no, not that dream again." She whispered to herself. "That dream has been appearing every night ever since I set a foot in this cursed city. It can't be just a dream… at least not a normal one…"

She wiped large beads of sweat off her forehead and closed her eyes, trying to recall the dream that haunted her.

She was walking in a deserted hallway, her feet picked along with cat-like silence, barely making any sound. Where am I? She thought as she peered at her surroundings. Suddenly, the sound of breaking glass met her ears, she spun round and saw splinters of glass scratch across her face. She closed her eyes to prevent the glass from hurting her eyes and pieces of it scratched across her face, leaving stings behind. When she opened it once more, she saw a cloaked figure descending down from above her, where a crack could be seen in the ceiling. "Hello, Shadow..." It whispered, sending chills down Shadow's spine. Although the face was hidden beneath a hood, she recognized the voice and knew who that person was. It was the person she had wandered so far to find. It was her long lost sister, Raven.

"It is ever so nice to see you again sister dear," Raven sighed with pleasure. She waved her hand as though to say 'hi', however, a black aura surrounded it. It quickly grew and shaped into a large black bird. The bird gave a deafening screech, and flapped its huge wings and watched Shadow intently through with crimson red eyes. Crimson red eyes, that seemed to be that of blood… Shadow threw up her arms and the same black aura was formed but instead of forming into a bird, it turned into a wolf. The beast's eyes also glowed red, but not as intent as the birds. Had anyone been there to witness the fight, they might have sensed that the wolf was hesitating and not as confident as the raven. The bird watched the canine with amusement and seemed to laugh out before it swooped down towards it and gave it a scratch, as though mocking it. Shadow winced as the wolf she summoned did or otherwise she was fine. The bird flew downward once more, this time giving a louder shriek. With talons stretched out before it, it clawed at the wolf that tried to meet it in the air.

The wolf howled in pain as it fell back onto the floor, a crumpled black heap. At the same time, Shadow crashed onto the floor. She did not cry out in pain but was rather bewildered when she saw a large gash on her arm, bleeding. Her essence dripped onto the floor and a small red pool formed. She staggered up just as her wolf got up with great effort. Shadow looked up when she hear soft laughter of amusement.

"My, my, sister dearest, why do you resist so? You've journeyed so far to find me, and now you have found me. Aren't you just so glad to see me?"

The wolf staggered, and whined softly.

The bird and the cloaked figure gave a mocking cry before the raven dived, aiming its razor-sharp beak at the wolf.

"No, ­ Raven don't!"

Raven laughed at her pleas. "Don't worry my sister; you'll be in very safe hands... you'll get to see Father very soon…"

Everything seemed to slow down as Shadow watched the raven dive at the injured, helpless wolf. She knew was going to die. Once the raven killed her soul self, she would die…

The wolf watched the giant bird descend toward it, completely immobilized. The raven got nearer and nearer, however, upon impact, Shadow woke up with a jolt.

Trembling, she shook her head as she tried to shake the fear and confusion she felt, but she only got a worse headache for her efforts. She turned, and her eye caught sight if an filled wastebasket. "And all these lovely notes from my darling friend Mr. Mysterious." She muttered, rolling her eyes.

With a quivering hand, she picked up a crumpled piece of paper from the waste paper basket beside her; she opened it and read it.
Shadow;

Meet me at the east harbour at twelve midnight sharp. I believe I can help you with your nightmares, and give you the information you need. Don't tell anyone.

Shadow re-crumpled the note and threw it with such force that the basket tipped over to reveal that there were more of those notes. There was no name on any of them, nothing to suggest whom the sender might be, nothing at all.

Meditation is useless she thought as she surveyed the damage in her apartment. Things, surrounded by a black aura, were floating around her, not to mention the broken window.

"Enough!" Shadow commanded. Things fell to the ground with many thuds. Clipping a navy blue cloak on and slipping the hood up to cover her face, Shadow quietly slipped past the mess on the floor and walked out the door. I can't handle this… I need some fresh air.

It was a little past twelve midnight; only the moon saw Shadow on the rooftop. She let the strong chilly night wind sweep pass her and allowed her hood to fall back. She did nothing to make herself feel any warmer, instead she welcomed the numbness that came with the wind. Her skin prickled, and, for a while, this was able to distract her from her worries. However, unknown to her, she was being watched.

What am I to do? I can't sleep without getting that nightmare! Oh, Raven­ where are you? Shadow pulled out a small dagger that was attached to her belt. She took it out of its sheath and tested the blade's edge, her skin immediately split opened and a drop of blood appeared. She admired the small violet gem on the hilt of the blade. Raven gave this to me a long time ago... I… I better not think about it.

Suddenly, she saw from the corner of her eye, a black shape appeared. She turned to face it but saw a human shaped figure hidden in the darkness. Why didn't I sense him-?

She turned round suddenly as another shape leaped from behind her. It seized her dagger before jumping down the building, she turned sharply as the one that had first appeared followed after it. Shadow cursed herself for not paying attention before she too jumped down, her cloak spreading behind her like black wings.
