Chapter 20 LeeAca's POV The next day I spend like any other. After dinner I get ready for my mission. I sneak out of my room and start tracking my way towards my old pack. After about 5 minutes of walking in the forest I run into somebody. "Who's there?" I hear a voice shout from nearby. Nobody is supposed to be out here patrolling. They didn't change the schedule did they? No, the chances of them doing this is slim. I looked out to see the young guard from the school the other night standing in front of me. "Luna. What are you doing out here? It is not safe." He says as he approaches me. I just stare at him. "How did you find me?" I ask him skeptically. "I felt your emotions in the distance and tracked them till they got stronger and found you. Luna, we really need to get you back to the castle. It is not safe out here." He says looking at me worriedly. Fen perks up in my head. "Keep going. Tell him he can come with us or leave us." Fen says which surprises me, normally she would suggest killing the person, not inviting them to tag along. "Come with us.. Fen, we don't know the situation." I argue "He will be okay. Hopefully. If not, I don't think people would really miss him." She says. "Fen!" I scolded her. "I'm joking. I'm joking. They will totally notice if they are down a guard for the closed school." She says sarcastically. "Listen Lucas right? You can either come with me or try to alert somebody. But by the time you alert somebody I will be gone and how will that look on you for losing the Luna?" I finally say. "I beg your pardon Luna?" He asks with wide eyes, as I start walking again. "Luna, what are you doing? Where are you going?" He asks. "You have to come with me to find out." I can feel his inner turmoil and smirk because I know what his decision will be. He follows me and after an hour of walking he finally pipes up. "Luna, where are we going?" "You will see. You know I am surprised you were able to find me out there being a heartie and all." He looks down and doesnt answer me at first, making me feel a little bad. "I am good at tracking but not much else." He answers me sadly. "So I have been told." I reply and keep walking as he stops looking at me dumbly. When he notices that I keep walking he starts again. We stop after another 15 minutes and Lucas looks at me in confusion. "Why did we stop Luna?" "Would you stop calling me Luna?" I whisper yell. "We stopped because we are almost there. Can you feel their emotions?" I ask, still whispering. I see him stiffen and focus. "Yes. Who are they? They are filled with so much hatred it is scary." He says innocently. "Can you climb trees quietly?" I ask, almost afraid of the answer. "I don't know. I've never tried to climb a tree quietly. We need to get you out of here. It is too dangerous." I only look at him with furrowed eyes. "I feel like he is dumb." Fen says. "It was your bright idea to make him tag along Fen so shut it." She huffs but doesn't say another word. "Look Lucas, I need you to climb that tree over there and be as quiet as possible about it. When you get into the tree do not make a sound and stay put, no matter what happens. Do you understand me?" I say strictly. "Luna I can't willingly make the promise, what if you are hurt. The king will kill me." He says guiltily. "If you don't do it you will be killed either way do you understand?" I say as Fen pushes forward and releases a slight arora that will make him do as he is told. "Yes Luna." He says as he looks down then at the tree about a quarter of a mile away. I walk behind him, as we walk closer to the tree the pungent smell of rogues start to enter our nostrils. We are getting closer. I find a tree close to the tree I told Lucas to go to. I wait until he is up to climb mine. He was surprisingly quiet. I could barely hear him and it was only because I was focusing on him. After I climb my tree I perch on a branch that extends out and over the Rouge camp and wait. There are 9 rouges in the camp. Some are sitting while others are pacing. "They're planning something." Fen says in a minical voice. She knows when people are up to no good, but per our agreement we wait to hear or see something that will give us cause to intervene. "Where are they?" I hear one rogue ask. "They will be back any minute now." I hear another answer. After 4 minutes of waiting two people came running from the direction of the lunar eclipse pack. "We set off the alarms. All of the children and women are in one cellar. All of the warriors are heading north as planned. There are only a few left guarding the women and children. They look easy to defeat. If all goes well boys, we will destroy this pack and everything it stands for. Starting first with the women and children, once all of them are dead the men will be weakened and we will be able to kill that dreaded alpha and beta easily. Let's go!" They all start to grab their gear. While they are distracted, I hop down from the tree and kill the biggest guy with one of my daggers. They all turn around and gasp seeing me. "Who the hell do you think you are?" That ignites Fen so she replies. "So you think you can hurt innocents? Huh?" When Fen wishes to terrorize she gets the job done. Our eyes glow neon green while her voice becomes dark and gruff. All of this combined with her accent has made people piss themselves in the past. Before they even had a chance to comprehend that they are no match for me I have daggers appear in my hands and throw them. I kill two more within the time it takes for the last eight to realize what is happening. After the two hit the ground they all rushed toward me. They are sloppy and do not know how to work together to defeat their opponent. Instantly I have two swords in my hands and I start going to town. They were all so close to me that they all got hit. I managed to kill two more, leaving 6 men. They look scared and confused. Fen starts laughing like a psycho she loves killing terrible people. If you ask her, it is her favorite sport. I see a dagger coming towards me out of the corner of my eye. I turn quickly and grab it mid air and throw it back toward the person who threw it. Killed instantly. 5 more. I look around to see 4 men. One must have ran off. That means I have to kill the rest quickly. This last one just ruined my fun. I hate chasing cowards. I quickly imagine four daggers and they appear. I threw them and hit 3 of my targets. One surprisingly dogged it. He races toward me and punches me in the jaw. Well this is not what I expected. "Can we please play with him? We will have plenty of time to reach the other one and kill him." Fen begs. I oblige. We start throwing punches and kicks while this rogue does the same. He is bigger than me but that is about it. He is weaker than me but still packs a punch. By his moves it is obvious that he used to be a warrior. He finds one of my daggers that I dropped and grabs it. "Sh*t well that was fun while it lasted." Before he could attack me with it I materialized another dagger and threw it at him, killing him instantly. I looked around to see that most of my weapons had already disintegrated. Lovely perk. My weapons after being summoned disappear after about 5 minutes of leaving my hand. I start to run towards the last rogue.I catch them within 3 minutes of chasing. I run faster than the average wolf. I stand in front of him and he runs into me. All I feel is his fear radiating off of him. Fen smirks knowing we have this effect and grabs him by his throat. "Good bye." Is all she says then snaps his neck. I drop the rouge and start walking back home, feeling happy and satisfied. After walking a couple of minutes I hear running towards me. I sniff the air and instantly I pause. Sh*t. I forgot about Lucas. "Luna! Luna!" I hear Lucas yelling and he comes into view. He stops in front of me and I feel his uneasiness to come closer. I just turn around and keep heading back to the castle. We have 2 hours before shift change and I need to be in my room and cleaned up before then. We continue walking and about 30 minutes later Lucas starts talking. "You are the shadow. She states. The shadow. You are him. Well, her. What the hell." I stop. He finally had time to register it and now he is about to break. I can feel his confusion, amazement, fear, and curiosity. "How? Why? When? Who?" Is all he kept asking. I stared at him not really knowing what to do. We have never been in this situation before. "Lucas. You will not tell anybody. Do you understand me?" I say with authority. He just looks at me. "What if I am asked?" "You will not be asked. Who actually goes around asking people if they know who the shadow is?" I ask him. "Ture. How did it happen? You know, you becoming the shadow? Why would you tell me your secret? When did it happen? How do you have 2 gifts?" Fen and I start to get annoyed. "Look, I will allow you ONE question. Choose wisely." I state and start walking. He is silent for five minutes before he pipes up. "Will you train me?" He asks me and I stop. Out of all the questions he could have asked he asks that one.
