S.Y. 634, Seto 2 1: 46 L.Q. - Twilight residence
"Hello, is anyone home?"
[Strange Voice 1]
[Knocking continues]
"Anyone there?"
[Strange Voice 2]
"See, told you they wouldn't open up."
[Strange Voice 4]
"Are you sure you saw them enter?"
[Strange Voice 3, annoyed]
"It was a pretty weird looking creature, I'm pretty sure."
[Strange Voice 5]
"I'll try again then."
[Strange Voice 1]
"If no one answers this time I say we just break it down."
[Strange Voice 4]
[Knocking on door]
"Please open up, we know you're in there."
[Strange Voice 2]
"All we want is that thing you found."
[Strange Voice 3]
"Hush they don't need to know it's important."
[Strange Voice 1]
"Get your stuff son, now."
[Whispers Mom]
"Who's out there mom?"
[Twilight]
"I'm not sure but I'll handle it, I need you to be ready to head to the woods if something goes wrong okay."
[Mom, with a smile]
"Okay."
[Twilight, a little scared]
[Twilight grabs Temti and heads towards the back to grab some supplies]
"Well we tried it the simple way, guess it's your turn."
[Strange Voice 1]
"Finally!!!!"
[Strange Voice 4]
[Door breaks down]
Once that door hit the ground, Mom hid both me and Temti behind her, and we waited silently. These five masked children appeared in the living room, walking over the door they just knocked over. I only knew they were children because even though they had on masks they didn't seem to look much older than me. They slowly began searching around the house. I wasn't sure what to do but just stood there shocked. They started getting closer to the corridor where we were hiding, so Mom stepped into a more visible area.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
[Mom]
"Oh, so that's where you were hiding."
[Masked Kid 2, a little surprised]
"We're looking for the boy, where is he?"
[Masked Kid 3]
"And why would I tell you that?"
[Mom]
"Well, you see he has something that belongs to us."
[Masked Kid 5]
"And don't tell us he's not here either. We saw him come in with it."
[Masked Kid 4, annoyed]
"Well, he's not here so you're just wasting your time."
[Mom, trying to stay calm]
[Masked Kid 1, taking a deep breath & a step forward]
"You see, there aren't many things that piss me off, lady. But lying is one of them. So we'll ask you one more time, where's the Kid & the creature."
[Masked Kid 1, annoyed]
"Run Twilight."
[Mom, scared]
[Twilight grabs Temti, proceeding to run out the back]
"So he is here, after him. The rest of you stay here with me, it seems we've got to have a little talk with this lady."
[Masked Kid 1, addressing the others]
"You've got it. This is going to be fun."
[Masked Kid 4, excitedly chasing after Twilight & Temti]
I didn't wait long after mom told me to run. So I'm not sure at all what happened but I heard someone chasing after me. I hope Mom's okay, she has to be, she wouldn't let herself be taken down by a bunch of kids.
I can't stop running though, I've got to get to safety, I can worry later. As I'm turning towards the hill above the cave where I found Temit, I tried my best not to let go of him since it's him they're after. That's what I think I heard one of them say, that they saw him and I and so I guess, here we are. It's all my fault this is happening.
[Twilight trips over a rock]
Shit I need to pay attention, whoever's chasing me hasn't stopped, they're going to get me if I don't move.
[Twilight arrives at the edge of the mountain]
"I haven't been out this far in so long and with everything going on I forgot. We're on a mountain and there's no way safe off from here. What do we do now?"
[Twilight, thinking]
"What now?"
[Temti]
"I'm not sure what we should do. We can't go back."
[Twilight ]
"Can't go back."
[Temti]
"Maybe we can..."
[Twilight]
"Dammit, kid let me catch my breath. You're pretty fast."
[Masked Kid 4, catching his breath]
"I won't let you have him!!!"
[Twilight]
"Have what, oh that, whatever it is, yeah about that."
[Masked Kid 4, catching his breath]
"You're going to have to give me that no matter what."
[Masked Kid 4, aggressively]
I wasn't expecting what happened next but the kid attacked me. He was holding a sword on his back this whole time. But I dodged it, he then lunged himself at me again with the sword. Lucky for me Mom has been training me for years for this type of situation so I dodged and brought my knee straight into his face. He dropped his sword but it seems the mask cracked just slightly and he was perfectly fine. Underneath though was forsure a kid, maybe a year older than me at most. I could only see his eyes but they looked like Temti's. He began to rush me again, we exchanged blow for blow.
"Wow, you're pretty good kid."
[Masked Kid 4]
"Ye...yeah, I guess I am."
[Twilight, heavily breathing]
"Man if Mom hadn't forced me to train with her I'd be dead right now."
[Twilight, thinks]
"Well, I guess I'll stop playing around as well."
[Masked Kid 4]
I'm not sure what happened next, I just knew I was about to die. I remember a sudden flash, I think there was a woman who saved me. Was it mom? It must have been and that means she's okay. Other than that there's not much else I remember from that day. I remember falling off that cliff. And the only reason I remember that is because it left a slight scar across my face. When I woke up I was in a lot of pain. Temti was passed out near me so at least I knew he made it too. We explored for a while trying to find our way back, but we never did. I never saw Mom's body anywhere either so I'm not sure, but knowing mom she's alive somewhere and will find me one day.
S.Y. 634, Seto 11 5: 27 L.Q. - Somewhere in the Forest
So Temti and I wandered around after a few days of rest. We eventually found a small cave. I figure staying here for a while wouldn't hurt right. At least while Mom is still out there looking. I figure from our way here I'm somewhat near a body of water, a bunch of animals, and very fruitful plants. So there should be plenty of training here I can do as well.
S.Y. 634, Nesa 33 3: 22 S.Q. - Twilight's Cave
A few months passed, I was starting to realize maybe I wouldn't see Mom again. Maybe we'll never find each other. Temti also stopped growing a while back and seems he's finally "settled", as Mom would say. He's maybe about 2 now, in the nightwalker age. He slowly stopped changing after the attack. He's white now with blue hair, my total opposite. And since he learns pretty quickly I made him my training partner. We make a very good combo on the field. So at least if Mom doesn't find me anytime soon or at all, I'll have him.
