Prologue
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Darker than Black, only some characters and the plot.
I opened my eyes and I could tell it was late. It was pitch black outside. From the woods I could hear an owl hooting. I started wondering… what it was like being an owl. Awake at night and asleep during the day. Seeing things other people don't see, and hearing things others don't hear. Learning the secrets that the night holds and keeping it all to yourself.
A sound snapped me back into reality. I heard her twist around. She must be having a bad dream; I thought to myself, she only moves in her sleep during her nightmares. I could hear her slow, even breaths as she relaxed. I could slightly make out the outline of her chest, which was rising and falling to the rhythm of my heart beat. Her presence, so close next to me made me shiver, as it had since I met her two weeks ago. I looked at the clock; 2:35 am, it read in bright, red numbers. Red, how ironic; almost as if she knew what I was up to. 'Well stop wasting time and get back to business,' I mentally scowled at myself. It was time. Time to kill her.
