It was a cloudless night. The moon shone with a brightness that lit up the dark street. Causing shadows and an eerie feeling to an otherwise peaceful neighborhood. It was then, stepping out of the shadows, appeared as if by magic, a boy and a girl.
"I don't like this place," The boy said. "It's as if we're being watched." And he shivered slightly.
"Hush Lloyd, they may be listening," The girl said this in no more than a whispered as her electric blue eyes darted about.
They would of looked like normal teenagers, if … they had not been wearing such strange clothes. The boy Lloyd, who looked to be fifteen, was wearing a long, plain, tunic and breechers. A pair of twin swords was strapped to his belt. Leather boots completed his outfit and they did not make any noise as he strode across the hard pavement. The girl was wearing a beautiful dress that matched her eyes. It shimmered in the moonlight, her long auburn hair was held back in a neat ponytail. A silver necklace dangled from her throat.
"I sense their presence, hurry Ellie! Leave the pendent." A light breeze ruffled Lloyd's dark brown hair and he shivered again though not from the wind.
They quickened their pace as they crossed the winding street.
"Can you find the boy's presence?" Ellie asked.
"Yeah, he just over there," Lloyd pointed to a small white house with a cherry coloured door. "Leave it on the lawn. Hurry! They are nearly upon us." Lloyd unsheathed his swords, his eyes never leaving the shadows that were cast by the house. Ellie ripped off the necklace and tossed it onto the lawn.
"Let's leave, NOW!" Lloyd said in a rush.
Ellie grabbed his hand and pulled him into an oddly shaped hole that had appeared not a second to soon. A great black dog morphed from the shadows and lunged to where Lloyd had been standing a second ago. It snapped its teeth angrily clearly disappointed that its meal had been delayed. White drool dripped from it's glistening fangs, it red eyes glowing like fire. The dog looked more like a skeleton then an actual dog. Disappointed the dog sniffed the ground in hope of catching a scent. Then with one last glance at the house it turned and marched back, melting into the darkness.
