Black as the darkest night hair against a crisp linen pillow, brown skin against a blindingly white sheet, and tiger’s eyes burning with deliberate cruelty and triumph into hers. In horrified rejection of the imagery that had sprung into her mind, Lara Anderson shuddered violently, dimly aware that she was still in the grip of severe shock. Abruptly, she was dredged from her turmoil by the insistent shrill of the telephone in the hall. Reluctantly she answered the summons, carefully shutting the lounge door behind her so that her father was not disturbed.

I simply watched her perform, my lips pressed firmly in a tight line. The room tensed up for a beat. Dad–Nash Smith–knitted his brows, his mind obviously racing through the odds. I braced myself for a repeat of the past, but then Calvin Porter's icy voice cut through the quiet. He moved closer, his eyes briefly softening as they passed over Rebecca, then turned icy again when they landed on me. "Mr. Smith, I didn't come here to talk about weddings." Rebecca let out a relieved breath.

"And now, here I am. Just trying to live my best undead life." Freda’s mouth hung open. Pru dropped her book. Rita burst out laughing. "That’s the wildest backstory I’ve ever heard." Deidre smirked. "What can I say? I’m a treasure." That night, Rita stood by the window, watching the werewolves below. They played soccer under the moonlight, their movements fluid, effortless.

His dark eyes burned even from this distance, his chest rising and falling like he’d caught a scent.

I have to focus on the light within me, to push back against the darkness. Umbra raises his hand, and a wave of dark energy surges towards me. I brace myself, preparing for the impact. But then, I feel a surge of power within me. I channel my own darkness, focusing it into a powerful beam. I fire the beam at Umbra, and it collides with his dark energy. There's a blinding flash of light, and then silence. When my vision clears, I see Umbra standing a few feet away from me. I can’t make out his expression but I can sense that he’s in shock and disbelief.

I said I then look at Tokoyami “Amicitia is going to fight him but Dark Shadow is stronger when the place is night or dark and its alot more powerful past 3am aka devil’s hour” said Lunaria “look I know you’re worried about Tokoyami’s quirk but don’t worry I have a sentient being of my own and it’s similar to his quirk but this one is more friendly, caring and kind” I said, I look at Tokoyami closed my eyes and my aura began to glow white “Amicitia’s body is glowing white similar to light but why?” Solision asked himself “DARK SHADOW!!!” Tokoyami shouted then Dark Shadow hurtled towards me at breakneck speeds but before Dark Shadow attacked.

Nozomi was equally surprised by Hikaru's move, which gave Hikaru time to shout, “NOZOMI! It’s okay now! Come back!” Hina saw the opportunity to encase Nozomi in a cocoon and turned back to cast her spell. Nozomi recovered after Hikaru’s shout and smirked. “You’re gutsy. I’ll give you that.” BOOM.
