News Reporter: "Today's breaking news. Scientists have found that the peoples who were mysteriously killed are beyond scientific explanation. It seems that it's an outer space invasion. Many people are injured which have claw like injury, the poision is unidentified but scientists may find cure for it. After analysing cases all over the world, scientists came up with speculations that there's a possibility of some mysterious being harming human lives. It might be a invasion or an apocalypse. It's a request for all citizens to be prepared for the catastrophe. Please collect supplies in bulk as we are going in Curfew. No one is allowed to go out after 7pm from tomorrow. Don't make a rush to markets, just add up to your stock in following days. Scientists are doing research over change in environments. We will update you with the news. As for now be safe and have weapons around you."
The survival instinct snapped in everyone's minds, people rushed out of their homes to collect supplies. Some were scared to go out in night, others took it lightly. The road was bustling with crowds. Markets were crammed. A loud shriek echoed through forest, stopping the crowd in their tracks. Everyone looked towards the direction.
*********
Black was driving the car. Humans were scattered on road. Panick, Anxiety, Fright was mixed in air. There were many cars aiming to reach out of city in ghastly speed. Others were struggling to run or ask for lift.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere quiet. Right now everyone are scared and panicked, this will attract the creatures. We need to go somewhere where there is no crowd." Luna said.
"Mhm... Can't we just go back to Black's villa?" Shawn asked.
"No brother Shawn. Human residence for tonight and tomorrow are harmless. There's a lot of human smell, energy over there. We can stay in abandoned houses later but we would need to move after sometime." Luna explained.
"Woah!!! Man!! How do you even know this? Are you oracle?? Can you predict future?? How do you know it??" Black's friend asked. He looked at me like I was some alien predicting future.
"Um.. well... I can't tell you. Um.. it's complicated." Luna said immediately.
"Are you in some secret organization?? Wait!!! I know! you are the deity sent by God to inform me since I am such a good person!!!! Or I suspect you are alien!!!" He said while narrowing his eyes.
"If you speak nonsense again, I will stitch your mouth." Black said.
"Huh!!! Inhumane. Huff!! I was just asking." He pouted.
Luna chuckled. Black looked at her and then glared at his friend.
"Anyways, I am Luna Everson. I am not a deity or alien." She said.
"Okay Miss. Alien. I am Kiro. I am very intelligent, smart, of course! super handsome, all girls die on me. I am cute too. I am a perfection." Kiro introduced himself.
Everyone laughed at his introduction. Black rolled eyes at his stupid antics. He focused on driving, as he was driving he saw that there were less people nearby. After 30 mins of driving, he saw an small abandoned house . Black stopped the car, everyone got out. Luna sensed something.
"Guys, weapons out, in circle."
Everyone formed a circle and took out their weapons. A horrifying shriek echoed and 5 big humanoid shadows stood infront of them.
*********
"Shadows. Try to hit on their head. Be careful they will melt into shadows once they sense danger. Search for accurate time." I informed them.
I took out my twin dagger and stepped forward.
The shadow started walking slowly towards me. Other shadows were walking towards other members. I looked straight in eyes of shadow and walked towards it. The shadow raised his claws and attacked me. I dodged the attack and threw one dagger at it but it immediately melted into shadows.
Black took out his dagger and ran towards one of the shadow. He threw the dagger like me,but the shadow melted. Black ran at the spot, picked up his dagger and waited for shadow to reappear.
Luna looked at her sides. The shadow reappeared from back and was about to hit her again. Luna sensed it and took her chance to threw her another dagger right at his head. Before shadow can melt, the dagger hit at centre of his forehead. It disintegrated into air. Luna turned to her friends. Black successfully killed the shadow.
Brother Shawn and Kiro were fighting together with one shadow. They were firing bullets at it's head. Shadow melted as soon as it sensed the danger. Brother Shawn and Kiro stood together facing opposite direction. The shadow reappeared from upper direction. Kiro hit the shadow on his hand. Brother Shawn swiftly held his gun up and shot at the shadow.
Ashley and Big bro handled two shadows by their own. Ashley ruthlessly killed the shadow. She looked at me and nodded.
"Coast clear. We need to be extra careful during night. The shadows can attack sneakily. Let's settle in this house for tonight. It looks like it's been abandoned for months. The human energy was less here so there were only 5 shadows." Luna said.
"Only 5?? Miss. Aliens, how can 5 shadowy thingy be less????" Kiro asked while moving his hands in air. He looked at me in disbelief.
"Kiro, right now you might think 5 shadows are lot, but after few days they will be few for you. Actually, shadows attack in group. Since their attacks can't kill a person, they can only poision a person, so they tend to attack in group. This helps them to survive for long time. This group's are huge. Almost 10-15 max."
"WHAT!!??? 10-15!! MISS. ALIEN ARE YOU SCARING ME? IF YOU ARE, THAT'S TOTALLY WORKING." Kiro shouted.
"Shh!! Don't make noise idiot. I will shut your mouth will cello tape." Black hit his head while scolding.
"They are difficult to tackle but when we get power, we can kill them easily. We can stop them from melting by our personal domain." I explained.
"Personal domain? What's that?" Brother Shawn asked gently. His eyes held warmth. How can he always be so gentle and warm?
"Miss. Alien, how will a domain help us? Isn't it intangible?? How would web URL help us? It's used for visibility of brand, mobility in internet, setting business online etc etc. I guess Miss. Alien you are mistaking!" Kiro continued blabbering.
"It's not internet domain. Are you computer engineer? By personal domain I mean an area with mystical field where the user of domain has absolute power. The powers of domain's owner are increased. But the domain lasts for few minutes as it takes huge amount of energy." I explained.
"Yeah I am computer engineer, software engineer and hacker." Kiro said proudly.
"That's fantastic. Can we increase the duration of personal domain if we practice?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah. We certainly can. Let's go in."
We all walked inside the small house after black scanned it. It had a kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms. There was white cloth on furniture. The paints were scrubbed off. I shut the door and closed all windows.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Kiro shouted from bedroom.
We all rushed towards the bedroom.
