Disclaimer Shadowy Nightmare does not own Cirque Du Freak.

Shadowy Nightmare: Sorry it has taken me so long to post. My computer decided to kill the internet. I was not able to reach anything involving it. It let me view (somewhat) but not post. And having my online college classes so close by, I freaked.

Please do not flame me on my spelling. I do not have spell check. So I am sorry if that is an inconvinence for anyone whom may stumble upon this.

But anyway, please enjoy chapter 4 of The Truth About the Lord of Shadows.

R&R!


I had never seen the Princes before. Never have I met them in my life before this very moment. Two men talked quietly amongst themselves. For a moment it seemed as if they would not notice our presence. That was fine by me. A slight feeling of uneasiness and concern played in the back of my mind. I feared the Princes would not believe me. I doubt Larten, who had placed full trust in my judgement, would believe - OR want to believe! - in the story I was about to tell.

Hidden fears tightly grasped my throat. How much longer would it be? I almost wanted to scream so as the void of noise would not mock me so. Odd urge to run. I wish to heed this urge, but just as I spin around...

Silence shatters. One Prince speaks. His voice is confused as he says, "Larten?" He does not want to believe. I see it in his eyes as he stares at the vampire next to me, his mouth agape.

"Aye," said Larten, "It is me, Vancha."

"But you, you are suppose to be dead," said Vancha his mouth agap. (You see he never returned for the big fight. Thus, he is dumb struck.)

"She saved me," said Larten as he pointed at myself who was looking at the great room that I was in.

"Who are you," asks the other Prince. I glanced up and opened my mouth to speak, but Larten Crepsley cut me off.

"Her name is Abigail Fortuna Lepoard. She is Steve Leopard's twin sister," said Larten, "And she is the being who rescued me from a almost certain death."

Confusion mixed with a shadow of fear and doubt showed in the eyes of the two men. Being the sister of the Vampaneze Lord, they grew edgy almost as if a traiter breeched inside their domain. They even glanced at each other in such a way that it was known, if I hadn't already guessed it.

Time seemed to slow as I took a deep breath. It was now or never. "I am also The Lord of Shadows. . ."


Shadowy Nightmare: Sorry that it is short, but I need more reviews. I will try getting the next chapter up a.s.a.p.

Hiei (From Yu Yu Hakusho): 'raises eyebrow' Hn. Sure you will, that is what you said about the fifty other stories that run through your mind.

Shadowy Nightmare: Err... hee hee ... there is a resonable explanation...
