Sandry

My siblings and I jumped, or, well, made an attempt to. (it's pretty hard when a boy not much older than you, is somehow controlling you through your shadow) When we saw this man dressed in all black with black lip color and a white mask.

What is he supposed to be dressed as? I heard Briar ask in my mind.

Do you think we should tell them the truth? Tris asked, as usual ignoring Briar's comment.

I'm not so sure, these people look like kaqs to me. Daja voiced.

Let's just play it by ear, and see whether these people are suspicious or not. I said. I glanced at the man in the mask, Although, I'm getting a bad feeling about that man.

Whatever gave you that idea? Briar snorted.

The mask for one. I responded

That was a rhetorical question. Briar said, as if I were an idiot.

I'm surprised you even know what 'rhetorical' means thief boy. Daja said.

Shut up. I could feel Briar's eyes roll.

"Where are you taking us?" I turned to find Daja addressing the boy with the ruby red eyes. He glanced her way but made no move to answer her question.

"You should be a little more hospitable to your future classmates Neko-chan." The man in the mask said. I had no idea what 'neko-chan' meant, but the boy with the red eyes glared at him with pure hatred, the other boy held in a chuckle.

Neko-chan responded, "What makes you think they'll get in?" The man in the mask only smiled, it was a cold and sarcastic smile. I involuntarily shivered. The boy rolled his eyes, "Shadow," he said, glancing at the other boy who was holding us captive. "Let's go." He was already heading to what Tris said was south when the boy, Shadow glanced at Persona who gave a slight nod and followed Neko-chan, taking us with him, much to our dislike.

I wonder how he's able to control us with just using our shadows. Tris thought.

Gee, Coppercurls, even when we might be in danger, that still doesn't stop you from trying to find out the mysteries of the world does it? Briar asked.

Their's a difference between you and I thief boy, my brain can still think and process information when their's danger, while yours only has enough capacity to use basic instinct in times of stress. I smiled at the comment, as Briar tried to retain his remaining pride.

Briar was about to make another response when a girl shouting 'Natsume-kuuun!' came running at high speed towards us. Who's Natsume-kun? Briar wondered. We all were confused, especially when Shadow started doubling over laughing. Neko-chan glared at him with a look that could kill. I would know, Tris has given similar looks to a band of Pirates that came not too long ago.

Would you stop thinking of those thugs? Tris asked.

Sorry! I had forgotten to close my mind link when I thought of the pirates, Tris may have the ability to kill but, that does not mean she likes to or even would want to.

Sigh. Didn't I just ask you to stop thinking about them? Tris asked, exasperated.

Sorry! I flinched. I turned towards the strange man in black clothing and found that he was staring intently at my foster siblings and I. I shivered, not knowing what he was thinking behind those black eyes. Be careful of the man in black. I warned the others.

Yeah, we've kinda figured that out countess. Briar retorted.

"Who's she?" Daja asked, turning our attention back to the brunnette girl hanging over Neko-chan.

"None of your bussiness." Neko-chan snarled.

"You don't have to be so rude you know, Neko-chan" Tris responded, equally fierce. As soon as she said Neko-chan the boy named Shadow and the brunette haired girl froze then all of a sudden burst out laughing.
