Word By: Lostlit; Shadows
Imagine if you will, a shadow. A living, breathing, shadow, so attuned with it's surroundings, that it seems to have no real shape. Almost as if it existed in another world. Now if you please, imagine seven of those shadows. Dancing across the fair street walls, evaporating into the rest of the void. The darkness eats shadows like these, swallows them whole, so that the little flicker you saw out of the corner of your eye, you will simply think was a trick of the light. However, to the minds disbelief, beings live within these shadows. They have names, personality's, and even fears.
One such living shadow was experiencing quite a bit of fear at this very moment in time. His shallow, harsh breathing only masked by the occasional car passing by on the street. What would a shadow have to hide from you may ask? Why, other shadows of course. Dark creatures with blood lust staining there throats, hunting down there pray to exhaustion. As long as they've been chasing, they were sure to catch up soon.
This was not the first time they had caught a trail and hunted it down. However, it was the first time they had encountered the beast alone. Usually it traveled in a group, but tonight it happened that the shadow was solo. The perfect time to hunt it down it seemed. Yet, with the great likely hood that it might call for reinforcements from its group, they could not give it one second of piece. No, they must continue pursuit, otherwise all of there hard-work would be for not. They had already managed to wound it, staining it's skin deeply in there first surprise onslaught, before it managed to flee from there clutches.
This had been several hours ago. They had been relentless in there assault since, and as no others had arrived since then, and they spent more time on it's tail rather then on its trail, they felt confident they would complete there task tonight and bring home a carapace for there master.
I've felt bad for the lackluster quality to these fics. So here's a nice long drabble
