I rush in action, oblivious of thee reaction, the tier4 shadowwho noticed my presence springed into action, counter attacking my advances, the shadow was strong as the clock has strikes twelve midnight already.
Every twelve midnight to 3 in the morning, all shadows will be in their best and fights efficiently, with their mirroring and mimics, plus with their inhumane abilities, it was a hard fight, I had no choice but to use some of my ability
A shadow scark like tentacles came out of me as part of my clothes, my attire which was made of shadow itself, it helps me use it as it's best and manipulate it's movement which helps me catch shadows.
The tentacle shadow helped me bind the tier 4 shadow and pin him to the wall, the tentacles spread on its body slowly curling the tier 4 shadow into a ball, but with its last struggle and last resort, the shadow screams in a sharp vocal snapping shout.
My heightened senses, especially my hearing was harmed in the process, my ears bled blackness and the bind loosens which made the tier 4 shadow escapes the tentacle.
More shadows arrived in the perimeter, from the lowest1 to the higher level 5 shadows emerged, it's gonna be an intense fight and I need to use many of my abilities but... I need to knock the boy.
I run towards the boy and hit the back of its neck while the tier 5 shadow hits my head, the boy got knocked out but so is my mask, the mask fell off my face revealing my color drained face and my glowing purple eyes.
The boy is already knocked which means that there will be no witnesses.
The boy is asleep, I can now play.
And just like that, I turned towards the shadows who came by, all of them seemed terrified and starts scrambling away but I don't let that happen.
Smoke slowly falls down my clothes slowly covering the ground with black smoke, binding tentacles then came out of the smoke and cathed all the 24 shadows who came to hunt me, some are pinned to the wall, slammed to the ground, and teared apart.
My pale snowy build loomed over the tier 4 shadow who called over his friends, my hand, "devour" and with a single command the green glow on his face fade and he turns into smoke and consumed.
The other shadows starts struggling and crawling attempting to escape their perish but all of them failed miserably and got consumed by me, after consuming each of those shadow and my abilities back to me, my eyes darted towards the unconscious boy who was sleeping under the broken light post.
I carried the boy back to my house and put him to my deceased brother's bed, he fitted perfectly, as my hands leave the boys body I noticed the heat radiating from him, he was very hot.
This kid is burning with fever, what ever..
I used my limited supply of medecines and tended to the boy, guilty of his fever that getting exposed of my shadow caused him, the boy's small frame was a little smaller than my brother but despite the differences, he still has the same happiness that only my brother can bring me.
I stayed up all night tending to him with a little dissatisfaction of not being able to use the young night to hunt more shadows and get stronger.
