tropes. ​"Nora," Elia rasped, her voice sounding like sandpaper on a gravestone. "The... the 'Bloom' is gone. I can't feel the trees. I just feel... The Case." ​The Man in the Red Shadow ​The figure in the trench coat stepped fully out of the red-ink shadow. He didn't have the symmetrical, airbrushed face of Director Vane. His skin was a map of "Deleted Scenes"—pockmarked with cigarette burns and a scar that ran from his ear to his chin, shaped like a question mark.

He is well dressed, and his presence radiates dominance, power, and respect. He's all the things I crave to be. My eyes are full of admiration until I remember the sudden horror I had just witnessed, and my gaze falls back to the ground. After what I just seen I'm sure he's going to kill me for it. Any sane person who's ruthless enough to kill would kill me. Someone as ruthless as the man before me. A man from the shadows suddenly appeared that I was not aware of. He is just as tall and slender as the one in front of me. He has a full black beard and short black hair, with a small grey patch in the front.

" The word cops sent Jennifer into a tailspin, her words tumbling out in a nervous jumble. "No, this isn't on me. I didn't write this report!" The professor's anger was palpable. "The experiment was top secret. Only you and I were involved in it. If it wasn't you, then who? Your signature is right there!" "It wasn't me. I'm not Jennifer! That was Jennifer's doing. I'm Ella!" The professor's frown deepened. "Ella? Jennifer? I only know one graduate student, and that's Jennifer!" "Jennifer's my twin sister. She's the one responsible!

It was quiet for a few minutes and he finally said, “Tilly and I have absolutely no secrets. People like you and me … we can’t be with just anyone. It’s either one night stands, fake short term relationships or nothing. You don’t just find a Tilly on every corner. A woman that will accept you, that if you are totally honest with her … won’t be afraid of you. I never had someone to … to help me. To direct me, and it damn near killed me. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I call it my dark shadow … it’s a part of me, but it’s a part of me I can mostly keep hidden, that I can control.

And then, silence. A scream shattered the dusk. Not Ridge. Not Luna. Something inhuman. They came from the trees—figures cloaked in rot and shadows, twisted armor etched with claws and blood-writ glyphs. Hollow pack. Their stench struck first—metal turned sour, flesh long spoiled. Trisha moved before command was called. Her axe unslung in one motion, she veered left into the shadows where screams grew sharper. Serin roared, “West line! Fall to the crest!” even as Ridge archers loosed arrows overhead.

It worked on a few of the younger Toten, but not for Anders. The Schatten were able to pick off about ten of the Toten as they backed away from the castle heading towards the river. They took one into custody and placed him in a circle of containment, where he could not shift into his shadow form. The Toten didn't have real Schatten forms; their shadows were weaker and more visible to the human eye. The fighting continued for hours, as each side gained some ground. Daan cast that one of the security guards went down; lost his head. Literally!

My smile dropped at the woman who stood frozen with her eyes wide in shock, she was staring at nothing in particular with a mixture of sadness, fear, confusion but most prominently anger in her grey eyes. Her expression caused everyone’s smiles to drop; I took a step closer to her and placed my hands on her shoulders. I looked into her wide eyes and felt Shadow stir restlessly. ‘What is the Shadow? Shadow’s agitation was affecting me. ‘Mate!’ I was taken aback by her reaction; ‘Shadow, this is Tatiana not D-’ I cut myself off and swung around to look at Devin. I looked into his confused eyes and was met with grey eyes strikingly identical to those I stared into just seconds ago.

It’s recognition. I feel it again. That presence. Watching me from the corner that shouldn’t be there. From the shadow that crawls just outside the edge of sense. You’re a return. Those words weren’t in my ears. They were in my bones. “Who are you?” I whisper. The shadows shift, and in the hush that follows, I don’t hear a voice—but I see something. A flicker of a memory. Not mine.

I asked, looking at three who stood across from us. “We thought the Shadow of death was a man, never thought it could be a woman.” Luciano said. Why, because they just assumed only men could be doing something like this and no woman could be capable of inflicting so much fear on the world. Having them look over their shoulders scared for their lifes, owndering who it was becasue the Shadow of death could be walking next to them or be around them very where and don't even know who it was.

Lucas. Lily. Eva. Noah. Daniel. Elias. Charles. Jonathan. Mara. Marcus. Adam. Mother Zero. The creator. The Silence. All present. Then Lucas slowly looked toward the floor. A shadow stood beneath Elena. But it did not match her body. Elena stopped breathing. The shadow moved while she remained still. It stepped away from her feet. Rose against the wall. Then detached completely. A woman-shaped darkness stood before them. Mara whispered:
