The darkness exploded and I found myself standing in front of a house I didn't recognize. I looked around, turning and found I was in some sort of neighborhood. I heard thunder and looked up to see a sky inked out with dark grey clouds.

"Katharine!?"

My head shot to the house in front of me. There was a women standing in the doorway, looking angry and worried. She had black hair with icy blue eyes that seemed to pierce anything they looked at. As I took a step forward, I felt the oddest sensation pass through me. Next thing I know, a good ran through me, running up to the house. My eyes went wide as I saw the long black hair that flowed behind the small kid.

"There you are! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

The women said as the small girl jumped up on the porch and ran into the mothers arms.

"Sorry mommy. I just wanted to see the lightning."

The girl said. The mother shook her head, looking worried.

"Come on. Dinners done."

They both went in the house, leaving me on the street. "Now isn't that cute?" I looked over and saw Atticus with his hands in his pockets, looking at the house. He then looked at me with a smile, his leather jacket waving in the upcoming storm's wind, showing me his pale and muscular torso. "What's going on?" I asked. He smiled more, his white hair waving and cold eyes looking through me.

He took a step forward, a predator like feel to his move. "You and your little loverboy seem to have underestimated me. Something I'm not to keen on." He said, narrowing his eyes. "What's going on? What is all of this? Where are we?" I asked. He smiled again, walking up to me and tapping his finger on my forehead. "We're in your mind." he then walked past me. "The shadow I attacked you with wasn't to harm you, but to allow me to have a connection with you. Once I have that, I can lurk in the shadows of you're mind." I just stared at him as he casually walked up the street.

"Shadows in my mind?" I asked. He stopped and turned to look at me. "Everyone has darkness in them. Some, most then others." He glanced at the house and so did I. "The question is, what shadows do you possess?" When I looked back he was gone.

I looked around, then at the house, his words running through my head. "What shadows do you possess?" I got on a straight face and walked up to the house.

* Atticus's POV*

I smiled as she walked into the house, knowing my plan could not fail. I closed my eyes and morphed out of her mind, returning in outside of the motel room they were in. I was about to leave when I felt a something move in the shadows behind me. "Out for a walk?" I asked, turning around to look at Sylar.

He stared at me, as if waiting for me to do something. I smiled, putting my hand up. "You forget I work with high people, so I know all about you and you're power. I don't intend for you to dissect it. Not just yet." He raised a eyebrow. "In that case." he raised his hand up, sending me flying, landing against the wall. He kept me pinned against the wall, walking up slowly.

"Do you intend to kill me?" I asked, smiling. He raised his other hand, pointing his finger out. "Yes." Was all he said. "I know that look in you're eye." He stopped, tilting his head. "That hunger. It's unbearable isn't it?" He clenched his jaw and I knew I had him. "You're not the only one who has it. The Hunger consumes a lot of us, and comes in different shapes and sizes." He lowered his arm a bit, taking in what I was saying. "With you're ability to understand how things work, your Hunger is to take power, to understand how it works. You just got psycho, like most with the hunger, and took it on a while other level." He smirked some, letting me know I got on his prideful side.

"With my power, My Hunger is for death, for blood. Hence the name Silent Blood." I said. "That's a hunger easily quenched. I'll deal with that, along with you're power." He said, raising his arm again. I felt the pain that came with cuts, the blood ran down my forehead.

"Now, take Jinx for instance." He stopped cold, staring at me. "Ah, yes. Your only weak spot." He swallowed some. "I can tell. When I said her name, the shadows left you're eyes." He just stared at me and I smiled, realizing something. "Interesting. It seems she actually makes you feel normal. The Hunger is suppressed and the vile is cleared from your mind. " I thought about it a minute, laughing. "How cute." He glared, clenching his hand tighter making the invisible grip around my throat tighten.

"Jinx has a Hunger as well." I said, looking him straight in the eye. His grip loosened some as so I could speak better. "That thing, that animal inside of her? It's living proof of the Hunger. It's the worst of them all. Pure. Uncontrollable." He stared at me, confused and angry. God this man was so fun to play with.

"She will be consumed by it in the end. But, being how smart she is, she will realize it's happening before it dose." I smirked as he tilted his head again. "And when she dose, what do you think will happen?" I asked. He just stared blankly, trying to hide the swirl of emotions I have brought him. "She'll leave you." I said, trying to connect to his mind now, seeing the shadows return in his eyes. "I can teach her. I've taught others." he said, looking away, as if convincing his self. I laughed, making him look back to me. "How do you expect her to stay with someone who can't even control his own Hunger?" he began breathing more shallowly. Time to finish this up.

"She'll leave you. Then, she'll come to me, begging for my help." I smiled, feeling the coolness of the shadows that were being casted from the sunset. "I'm already teaching her what I'm capable of. She'll soon come to realize who the stronger man is." He looked back at the door, then to me. "Goes to show how little you know about her." he smiled and raised his hand again. I smiled and closed my eyes, disappearing in the shadows, but not before getting a tiny connection to Sylar. "She'll never love you like she'll love me." I said in his mind, letting it echo.

I was now leaning against the back of the motel wall, smiling as I listened to him scream out in rage and smash something. I chuckled some and walked away, putting my sunglasses on and heading over to my bike.

"All is fair in love and war my friend."
