A flight from murder
Night woke up to see someone sitting next to him. It was Luna Mousy!
"Luna?! What are you doing here?" he whispered.
"Night, you have to leave this place."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Your father is a murderer who hides inside his own Shadow. If you don't pass the initiation, he'll kill you!"
"Where can I go? Even if I do run, they'll find me!"
"Try to make it to the Niwa house. Tell Dark that you know what happened to Tras and have something that belongs to him. But watch out for Shadow! He looks very similar to Dark!"
"Thanks for the tip. When should I leave?"
"It's better to get a head start. Go now and get as far away as you can! If they catch you, they'll probably do the same thing they did to Tras!"
"Okay. Thank you Luna…"
Thirty minutes later, Night fled into the night. Shadow, his father, sensed that something was amiss in his son's room and went to check. He was gone, the window left wide open.
"So you thought that you could escape me…how naïve of you."
Near a hidden cave, close to the city…
"I hope I got far enough. Sunrise is coming fast!" muttered Night. He had been running longer than he ever dreamt possible, and was out of breath.
"Smart thinking, Night…"
"Ack! Luna, are you trying to kill me?!"
"I've been with you this whole time, you baka! Did you really think I'd leave you alone?"
"Actually…"
"You cared more about Tras than the rest of them combined. That's the main reason I warned you!"
"So my concern for my little sister saved me…go figure! But one thing still bothers me."
"Yes?"
"What did you mean when you said I had something that belongs to Dark?"
"The best place to hide something is usually right under that person's nose!"
"Aw crap. You mean to say that I have that thing dad wanted?!"
"…"
Night would have said something, but he heard an all-too-familiar car driving up. He shut up and laid still, until he heard it pass right by. He didn't get up until it was gone for an hour.
Good thing I can stay still for so long…thought Night.
Yeah, really.
What the…Luna is that you?!
Close. I'm Argentine.
Nani?! Argentine, how come I've never heard you before?
Because you weren't ready. With the initiation coming up, I couldn't help but be restless.
Now Night was confused. He had heard of an art piece named Argentine, but they said it had been destroyed!
Crap, it's Shadow!! Don't move or he'll find us!
Night was very tempted to say, "Well Duh."
Ten minutes later, Shadow's shadow went away. Night/Argentine was relieved. Now it was time for some answers…
Argentine, why haven't I heard of you in the records?
The initiation prevented me from appearing.
How did it stop you?
If you kill someone on the day I'm supposed to come out, you become Shadow!
Why? Wait…do you feel that?!
That's impressive. You felt the presence before me…
Who could it be? It feels familiar, but it isn't…
