[Dawn] The dark, for years haunted me. It left me chilly and scared, and finally it caught up with me. It swallowed me up like I was a tasty treat. Hands would reach out to me and pull on my hair and scream my name. When I woke, I was laying on the ground, covered in leaves. I was so hungry I could barley walk. Slowly I raised onto my hands and dragged myself toward my old house.
[Shadow] The dark always had me, and when I died it released me. I walked into light. There I saw it, my old life, my friends, my family, my love. "Dawn," I cried, but never once did she hear me. I wanted to go to her so bad, that I broke free of the light. Falling is what I did for days, landing near the mall. I decided to lay there for awhile.

[Sorina] Almost half a year had passed since I had lost my sister and left the house we used to share; and yet so often, I still found myself wandering there, exploring all the memories I wouldn't allow myself to forget - Dawn and Shadow, two of the closest people to me, two of the deaths that had always hit me the hardest, affected me the most... the sun was setting now, a risky time to be outside in Amenia, but I didn't care; I was in just the right mood to kick the ass of any random vampire who tried to mess with me. In the low light, I could just make out the form of someone, dragging themselves towards my old house. I couldn't see a face, though I was fairly sure it was a vampire - female and, I thought, blonde. "Hey," I called, as I moved closer. "You okay?"
[Luna] By now, the area around the mall was empty of all but the stupid prey types - well, and me. I was neither stupid nor prey, so why I was here I had no idea, but I was - watching humans, vamps, wolves and witches alike fleeing before the approaching darkness. By the time twilight had passed into the beginning of sunset, all but a few had gone; those few either lingered around, leaning on walls or trees and looking casually threatening, or - in the case of one - lay helplessly on the ground. Wait... what the hell? Okay, so I should have just left the guy to his inevitable fate, especially given that he was clearly a bloodsucker - and I nearly did, honestly. Except the sun was slipping down at an alarming rate, and the creepy predators still lingering around were now focusing on him and... oh, what the hell, I might as well admit that I still somewhat of a conscience. I sighed and padded forward until I was directly above him, then knelt, lightly and casually. "Yo," I said calmly. "Great time for a nap, really, but you may want to do it somewhere that isn't, I dunno... suicidal?"

[Dawn] Once she look forward to everything, but the helplessness I I felt was a pain in the ass. I looked up a saw a shadow, standing a little off to the side. I reached for it and blacked out.
[Shadow] "Please, I'm to weak to move. Help me, he called sickeningly. Never before had he asked for help like this. "Please, or find Lucian. Tell him Shadow needs him."

"Crap..." I sighed, and knelt beside her. I pressed two fingers to her neck to check her pulse - as a vampire, it was light, but it did exist, and I could feel it steadily enough. My eyes drifted up to her face - and, automatically, I froze. It had to be a coincidence - didn't it? I'd seen my sister dead... I'd felt her corpse... and yet, the resemblance couldn't be faked. "D-dawn?" I barely whispered - then the approaching night brought me to my senses. With vampire strength, I lifted her into my arms, starting back towards the house in which I now lived.
"Sure thing - wait - did you say Shadow?" My eyes narrowed as I looked down on his face, and his appearance suddenly clicked in my mind. "Shadow as in Shadow Collins? Lucian's -" and my - "little brother?" I whispered incredulously.

[Dawn] Fading in and out of consciousness, she realizes who the shadow was. Her sister. "Sor...," Dawn managed to say before she passed out again.
[Shadow] "Help me, I need blood. I'm so weak." Shadow tried to stand, but failed. "Dawn...? Where is she..?"

Oh God... oh God... "Jake!" I shouted as I made my way into the safehouse. Crystal's brother appeared at the top of the stairs, and raised an eyebrow when he caught sight of me, carrying the strange girl - I didn't want to refer to her as Dawn, in case she wasn't; no use in getting my hopes up... and yet, when he took her from my arms and asked, "Do you know who she is?" my automatic response was "My sister." When that got me two raised eyebrows, I added quickly. "A-at least she looks just like my sister. Only, my sister is dead. I - I think." Jake offered no response to that, but carried the girl into the living room and laid her out on the couch. "I think she just banged her head somehow," he said. "Best thing is to wait for her to wake up." I nodded and promptly settled down by the couch.
I snorted. "Whoever Dawn is, I would wait on finding her until you're out of the near-death zone. And here." I slit my wrist with a sharp nail. "Drink. I know wolf blood tastes disgusting, but get over it."

[Dawn] What feels like years later, she finally comes to. "Where am I," She asks.
[Shadow} I take her wrist, and put it to my parched lips, and drank greedily. Finally, when I was finished I could stand up. "We have to find Lucian, or Sorina. Dawn Her sister is here some where and we have to find her," He cried wildly.

"It's a long story," I replied, and then automatically: "Are you Dawn?"
"Okay, okay. Dude, calm down. And by the way, remembering your dear slightly older adopted sis would be appreciated," I said, smirking.

[Dawn] She looks up and sees her sister. Feeling hurt she sarcastically says, "Do I look like Dawn, Do I smell like Dawn, Do I sound like Dawn? Because I would like to know if I am not myself."
[Shadow] "I...uh...missed you. Lets catch up later," he calls questionably. He stands and starts walking toward the park, where he saw Dawn fall.

"B-but... but you died," I whispered.
I snorted. "No appreciation," I muttered, and followed him. "So, do you want me to call my other brother, or what?"

[Dawn] Looked deeply at her confused sister, "No I was murdered by magic. Angel was really the one who killed us, but she didnt really kill us, she used a trick spell."
[Shadow] "Yes, that would be lovely," Shadow calls over his shoulder.

My head was spinning. "Why would she do that? And why wouldn't you tell me?"
I rolled my eyes and dialed Lucian's number - I couldn't bring myself to add him as a contact, yet I knew his number by heart. Go figure. "What, Luna?" was how he picked up, because he loved me that much. "Hey, big bro. Shadow's alive." I was not one who tended to beat around the bush. "He wanted me to call you, so I'm calling you, kay? My unrequited good deed of the day." I didn't even give him a chance to respond before I hung up the phone, and smirked at Shadow. "He's coming."

[Dawn] "I didn't have time, me and shadow were being followed by a ton of evil shit, and Angel just happend to be leaving her grandmas. She saw what was going down, and cast the spell."
[Shadow] Smirking he said, "Well that'll get him here quicker than anything."

"Gotcha." She tilted her head to one side, frowning slightly. "On the subject of Shadow... where is he?"
I shrugged. "He would come anyway. Big bro's changed, majorly. Not that I like him any better, but you might."

[Dawn] Sadly, she shakes her head and replies, "I have no clue, I guess he's really dead."
[Shadow] Nods sarcastically. "Impossible," he says amused.
