Chapter 2

The light from the moon shone ominously off the cloaked figure, making the white locks sticking out from under his hood glow silver. He surveyed the sleeping city from his perch in one of the trees edging the dense cluster of stone buildings. It seemed like ages since he'd been here, it brought back memories.

He found it strange that he'd find himself here once again, even more strange to find a lone demon travelling such a long distance to such a peaceful place. There was definitely something important here but what he could only guess.

He didn't feel the presence of any innocence and there were no phenomena to indicate otherwise. Still he would stay until he knew what the Akuma was planning. There was no point in destroying the Akuma now only for another one to take its place, no, he would wait until he knew its purpose or until it attacked.

Today seemed to stretch on and on the more I thought about tomorrow and what needed to be done. It would be my first time back to the house in 10 years; Jed wouldn't allow us to go near it after the incident. He went there himself but only once, he need to get our clothes and belongings.

He said he didn't touch anything that was our parents, I would be the one to go through it. I'd be clearing out the house of all the things Jed left behind and selling the property to anyone who wanted to buy it. I hadn't told Nathan yet, I was nervous he would get upset over the house being sold.

It felt like I had lain awake for hours before I got up to check the time, it was 1:30 in the morning and I was supposed to head out at 7:00. Tonight was one of those nights where you wished you lived in the arctic because you thought you would melt from the heat. I went over to the window and pushed the glass all the way up relishing in the fresh air that swept in. I stood there for a few minutes, elbows resting on the ledge, looking out at the sleeping houses.

I've always loved this neighbourhood, the houses were nice, the people nicer and if you looked to the roof tops you could see the towering spires of the towns most important buildings. To the left I could see the pointed roof of the mayor's mansion, straight across was the stone tree statues of the park and just to the right was-

My mind went blank when I turned to look at the hulking body of the church. My eyes were glued to the black silhouette of a man standing atop the head of a church gargoyle. He seemed to fade in and out of my vision like a mirage the longer I stared, till after about a minute he disappeared completely.

The city was silent and the lights of the people were out, all except one. The girl was illuminated by her bedside table lamp, dressed in loose white tank-top and black baggy shorts. Her wavy brown hair was tied up in a clumsy ponytail. She was looking out over the tops of the buildings, seemingly lost in thought.

Almost as if feeling my gaze she turned to look at the church and froze as her eyes feel upon me. He had the feeling he knew her from somewhere but he couldn't place it. They stared at each other for a few moments more before he melted into the shadows.

When I finally fell asleep my dreams were plagued with images of cloaked haunting figures and twisted shadow faces. The scariest part was that I couldn't tell if the faces were human or not, there was no depth or distinguishing features just endless broken smiles.

The next morning utterly exhausted I got ready in near silence hoping to sneak past my brother without alerting him, though this thoroughly failed when I opened my bedroom door to find him standing there looking quite unimpressed.

"H-Hey Nathan, you're up earlier than usual…" I said with an awkward smile.

He rolled his eyes at me, "Reina really, you honestly think Jed wouldn't tell me?

"I was hoping he wouldn't-

"Seriously I have every right to come with you, I'm 16 and it was my house too. It's not like were going to get attacked this place is the epitome of boring."

Of that last part I wasn't so sure, not after the strange thing I saw last night. Though I couldn't even be sure I did see something last night, it could have been the lighting or the heat making me see things. Maybe I wasn't even awake and dreamed the whole thing. Besides he had a point nothing ever happened here, we were lucky, our city is known for its low crime rates.

I looked to the ceiling and sighed. It didn't matter what I did he would find a way to come along, might as well be able to keep an eye on him.

"Fi~ne, but you can't go running around doing what ever you want. Our job today is to go through the house and pack stuff up. Got it?"

"Got it!" He chimed with a grin.

I pinched my nose between thumb and middle finger as he took the stairs two at time when Jed called from the kitchen for breakfast. I followed a bit more slowly. Breakfast didn't last long for I wasn't all that hungry and Nathan seemed to want to leave as fast as possible so he vacuumed his food like a black hole.

"I left boxes in the barn last time I was there, so you can use those for packing. Anything you don't want to keep leave in the house and they can be sold with the property if they're still intact. The things you want to bring home put in labelled boxes and I'll pick them up with the cart tomorrow." Jed said, worry plain in his eyes.

I gave Jed a hug and turned to Nathan, "You ready to go or what?"
