When Duo awoke, it was dark in the tomb. He realized that not only had their flashlights gone out, but it was night outside. He moved to sit up, touching soft, cold flesh. He was startled for a minute, then realized it was Starr, still out from earlier. The next thing he noticed was his hunger. His stomach growled noisily, echoing though the tomb. He moaned, sitting up and stretching. He looked down at Starr, her skin was now even paler then before, making her thin frame glow brightly. That can't be good. he thought to himself. Her lips seemed to stand out more, tempting him to kiss her. Alright, Sleeping Beauty, as you wish. Duo smiled and bent down to kiss her. A few seconds into the kiss, Starr's eyes fluttered open. After she realized what was going on, she kissed Duo back, putting her arms around his neck. Duo pulled her closer by her waist. The kiss was then ended, Starr smiling shyly, her ice-blue eyes gleaming like a child's up at Duo's face. A smirk spread across his face as she burst into giggles.

"Come on, night stalker. Let's go home." Duo said. His voice echoed hollowly through the darkness. He got up off the stone, and helped her to her feet. As she brushed the dust off, she turned, looking at the stone. She gasped as she read the inscription on the stone, 'Whomever shall touch the night stone, shall forever be cursed to walk the night.' Starr let out a soft squeak, trying not to startle Duo. The night stone? she thought, I'll look that up when we get back. her breath calmed as she left the tomb, into the dark desert to call the boys.
