Shadows.

Jonathan snuck over to Luna's house and peered inside the window to see her parents were still awake.

He sighed and crept around the back of the house to the small window of the basement under the house.

He peered inside but it was impossible to see inside, all it was was darkness. No light what so ever.

Jonathan tapped on the glass gently and suddenly a pair of mismatched eyes came up to the window.

Jonathan smiled and waved and Luna waved back, but she did look slightly shocked to see him.

He motioned for her to open the window, but Luna shook her head and pointed at the lock with a frown.

Jonathan frowned too before he looked around the garden and spotted a spade.

Walking over to it he took it and motioned for Luna to get back.

With a heavy sigh he swung the spade and smashed the window.

"Luna come on!" he shouted and suddenly he was passed another little figure into his arms, but this one was a boy.

His eyes widened. There was two of them here?

Luna crawled up and out of the window just as he parents came running into the room.

"Get back here you fowl demons!" her father shouted.

Jonathan took her hand and led her back onto the street, he was still carrying her younger brother as they ran towards his bike.

"Luna get on, do you think you could hold your brother for me?"

She nodded and held her brother who clung to her and stared at Jonathan with wide frightened eyes.

Luna saw his look and smiled before she gently stroked his hair. "It's okay Lui. Jonathan is going to take care of us and keep us safe."

Jonathan nodded his head before he began to cycle down the road back to his house.

If he could just keep them until he found them somewhere safe to live then he would be fine and they would be safe from everyone else.

He turned a corner and hit the brake just as a car came around the corner. It was the police.

He watched as they shot down the street heading in the direction of the main part of Gotham.

Jonathan sighed and peddled faster, back to the old house far away from Gotham.

Once he was back he helped the brother and sister off the bike and wheeled the bike back to it's rightful place before taking Luna's hand and leading her and her brother to the back door.

He gently opened it and lead them back to his room before he closed the door and smiled at them both.

"You'll be safe here," he assured them as he pulled his jacket off and wrapped it around them both.

Luna smiled but her brother still looked scared.

Jonathan smiled at him and held out his hand. "I'm Jonathan," he said smiling. "What's your name?"

"L- Lucifer," he whispered before snuggling closer to his sister.

Jonathan blinked in surprise before he smiled and nodded. "Okay, well, you two can stay here for as long as it takes me to find you a place to live okay?"

"I want to live here with you," Luna protested.

Jonathan paled and fidgeted slightly. "I don't know if that's a good idea."

"Why, Jonnythan?"

Jonathan sighed before he heard a door slam open and then he was looking straight at his father, but his father was staring at Luna and Lucifer.

"Dad-."

"Jonathan, what are they doing here?!"

Jonathan stood in front of the brother and sister. "They needed help Dad, what was I supposed to do? Leave them?"

Jonathan's father glared before he sighed and shook his head in dismay. "Jonathan, I… why would you even bring them here? We have to finish the protocol and you know that. I… I haven't even got all of the things I need yet."

"Dad…" Jonathan sighed and ran his hands down his face. "Dad, please. We don't need to do this, you know that."

"Jonathan, I need to leave," his father sighed and walked to the front door, Jonathan followed swiftly behind him.

"Dad, please I have to keep them safe!"

"Why you, Jonathan?" his father questioned, turning on him. "Why do you feel this need to save them?"

"I…"

"Why?"

"I.. Dad, could you really just leave them-."

"Why?!"

"Because no one else would!" Jonathan shouted as he glared slightly. "Could you leave them there? Could you?"

His father sighed and shook his head, putting his hat on before he stormed towards the door.

"No Dad," Jonathan chased after him. "Dad, please don't go-."

"Jonathan, please," his father snapped at him, making Jonathan fall silent. "I will save us, I'll save both of us, I promise and maybe, if there is enough left, I'll save them two," he said pointing towards Luna and Lucifer who stood watching from the doorway.

Jonathan looked at the floor and turned back to Luna and Lucifer, just listening to the sound of the door opening and closing.

"Is everything okay, Jonnythan?" asked Luna as she held her brother closer to herself.

Jonathan looked over at them and gave them his best smile, but even he knew it was tight. He could feel it pulling at his lips. "Everything's fine, Luna," he smiled and walked over to her. "Do you think you and your brother could help me pick some food from the groceries in Gotham for you two?"

Luna shook her head, "I can, but Lui can't. He can't be around lots of people, it hurts his head."

"It hurts his head?" Jonathan questioned glancing at Lucifer who nodded his head and clung his coat tighter to himself.

"Luna can go," he whispered. "I'll be okay here. Don't worry."

Luna smiled and took Jonathan's hand. "Come on Jonnythan, lets go."

Jonathan nodded and grabbed his jacket before he and Luna left on the bike, Luna resting on his back as he peddled down to Gotham.

It was early morning, he wondered what his dad was doing. Why had he left so early?

It didn't matter Jonathan didn't want to think about the reason, the obvious reason. Instead he cycled as fast as he could to the grocers and then he and Luna went around picking things for them.

"Luna!"

They span around and Luna quickly hid herself behind Jonathan as her parents came charging towards them both.

Jonathan grabbed Luna's hand and they raced out of the shop, taking the food with them.

Jonathan knew they wouldn't have time to get his bike they would just have to run and circle back to get it.

As they ran through the streets, Luna was crying her eyes out, obviously she was scared.

Jonathan couldn't blame her.

"Luna, come on we need to hurry," he called to her desperately as they ran through the streets, eventually hiding in the graveyard where they had first met.

"I… I can't be with you," Luna cried as she got to her feet and began to walk away.

"Luna, what are you talking about?" asked Jonathan as he followed her. "You're safe with me."

"But you're not safe with me," Luna whispered as she stared at Jonathan with wide eyes. "I can hurt you and I will get you hurt, I can't let them get Lucifer again."

"And they're not going to," Jonathan insisted as he took a step towards her. "Luna, I promise you they're not going to get either you or Lui."

"But I'll get you hurt!" Luna cried as she took a few steps backwards, the shadows twitched with her movements.

"No you won't," Jonathan assured her. "You won't get me hurt."

"No… I… I will I…" Luna grabbed her head and cried softly as she turned away from him. "I'll hurt you."

"Luna-."

"No!" she shouted and flew her hand back at him, sending a shadow towards Jonathan, smacking him against one of the gravestones before he slumped to the floor and groaned.

Luna stared at him and then at her hand in horror.

Jonathan slowly looked up at her with wide eyes. What had just happened? Had… had she just used the shadows?

She took a few steps away from him.

"I… I'm so sorry," she whispered before she ran towards one of the nearby shadows that lay against the church.

"Luna… no, wait!" Jonathan cried and tried to chase after her, only to watch her run through a shadow and disappear.

Jonathan stood in the graveyard staring at the shadow, but she never came back. Had that really just happened? Maybe Luna's condition had changed and mutated even further to grant her powers… maybe that was why her blood was black.

Jonathan turned and left the graveyard heading towards the grocers again, still holding the bags, as he got on his bike and began to cycle.

Maybe Luna had gone back to get Lucifer?

He cycled faster as that thought crossed his mind. Plus, what would his father do to him if he found out he'd been outside without his permission?

Jonathan didn't want to know.

He hit the brakes as a police car came shooting past. He hoped they weren't heading to his father he, hoped his dad wasn't caught, he really did.

But maybe if he was caught then he'd stop this madness.

He ran up into the house and sprinted through the house towards his room and there he was, Lucifer sitting on the floor with his eyes closed before he opened them and stared at him.

"Where's Luna?"

Jonathan shook his head and frowned. "I have no idea… she… she ran through a shadow and disappeared."

Lucifer took this in before he frowned and turned away. "She… left me?"

"I think she's trying to protect you," Jonathan answered honestly. "I think she's scared of her power… speaking of… do you have the same?"

Lucifer looked up at him and blinked. "What?"

"Can you control shadows?"

He shook his head before tapping his head. "I hear people."

"You hear people?"

He nodded and frowned before he clutched his head a little in pain. "I hear their thoughts… they whisper sometimes and other times they shout and.. it's so loud and then I hear thoughts I don't want to hear and… and some thoughts are bad, very bad and… and they scare me but I can still hear their voices in my head…" the boy sobbed as he wiped the tears from his eyes staring up at Jonathan. "You don't believe me, do you?"

"No, I believe you," Jonathan assured. "It's just… it explains why you don't like to be around people, but you can't stay hidden away forever."

"Yes I can," Lucifer whispered. "Luna goes out I stay home, that was our plan when he grew up and got away from Mummy and Daddy."

Jonathan nodded before he heard the sound of a door opening and slamming shut.

"Jonathan!"

"In here Dad."

His father came in and looked him up and down. "I need you to come with me, I have to get someone, the last one failed."

Jonathan shook his head. "I've lost Luna, Dad. I need to find her. If we could just skip today and look for her-."

"We do not have time to go searching for her," his father hissed before he calmed down and passed Jonathan his coat. "We have to go now, I have an idea on who I think we should get next."

"But, Dad-."

"No buts. Now come on. I'm sure he'll be alright, now lets go, come on," his father grabbed him and dragged him out of the room towards the van before he drove off down the road.

Jonathan looked back at the old house, part of it still burnt from the fire… he shook his head so he wouldn't think about it.

He needed to find Luna, it was getting dark and she wouldn't last long on the streets, even if she did have powers…

"Don't worry, son," his father muttered. "It's going to be alright, I promise you, you won't get hurt and this will all be over, I promise."

Jonathan nodded dumbly before he stared out at the streets, keeping an eye out for any mismatched eyes he just might see.
