All Souls Day

Mia: *singing to herself, unable to sleep* ... Through the storm we reach the shore, you give it all, but I want more and I'm waiting for you...
*there's an audible "creek" from the second floor*
Mia: *nervously* ... I can't live with or without you...
Rini: *in her sleep* ...Ooo...ER's on...Zzzzz...
*another "creek," louder this time*
Phibby: *rolls over in his sleep* ...Don't kill me, L-Sama...Don't kill me...I'm being good! Don't! *bolts up, wide awake* ...Mia? Mia, you awake?
Mia: I'm awake.
Phibby: *peering at her through the darkness* I had a bad dream...
Mia: C'mere.
*hug*
Phibby: *whispering* There's something upstairs, Mia.
Mia: I know, Phibby-Baby. But whatever it is, it can't hurt us.
Phibby: Yeah, it can...You left your staff at Rini's on Halloween, remember?
Mia: D'oh! I forgot about that...
Phibby: What if it attacks us?
Mia: Don't worry about it. Try to go back to sleep.
Phibby: But Mia...
Mia: *singing softly* ...I hope you never lose your sense of wonder; get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger...
Phibby: *snuggles up in her arms; yawns*
Mia: ...I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean; whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me that you'll give faith the fighting chance...
Phibby: *smiles as he drifts off to sleep* ...G'night...
Mia: *lays him back in his sleeping bag, brushes his hair from his forehead* Sleep well, Phibby. *glances up at the steps* Hmmm...
*as she lays back down, a third "creek" sounds from somewhere above*
Mia: *murmuring* God shine upon us...
(several hours later...)
*a shadowy figure creeps down the stairs*
Shadow: *to itself* Hmm...They're all asleep.
Rini: ...Mmm...subway...Zzzz...
Shadow: *retreats a little*
*silence*
Shadow: ...Perhaps they are still all asleep...
*the shadow tiptoes over to where Phibrizio lies curled up on his side*
Shadow: *smiles wickedly* Ahh...he is here...
*shadow bends over the Hellmaster, pulling a small enchanted dagger from it's cloak*
Phibby: *rolls over on his back, then begins to toss and turn* No...*mumbling*...Don't...DON'T!!
Shadow: *plunges dagger into the Hellmaster*
Phibby: *eyes snap open* AHHHHHH!!!
Mia: *sits up groggily* Phibby -OH MY GOD!!!!!
Shadow: *retreats again, going back into the recesses of darkness*
Mia: *groping blindly in the darkness for the small Mazoku* Phibby, wake up...Please, Phibby...Don't do this to me...
Shadow: *from somewhere in the blackness* You are the Demi-Mazoku Miryam?
Mia: My name is Mia. Who're you? *hand rests on Phibby's heart as she begins a healing spell*
Shadow: *laughs slightly*
*Mia can see Shadow through the faint light cast by her spell*
Shadow: Don't try and deny it. I don't think Lord Gaav would be pleased to know you are with his enemy, Miryam.
-----------------------------
AN: hmm...who is this Shadow? how do they know Gaav is Mia's father? and what significance does the name "Miryam" have?
i don't own the rights to either song "With or Without You" or "I Hope You Dance"
"Miryam," for the record, means "rebellious." my reasons for noting this fact should become clear...
