In the morning, in an alleyway of Shinjuku, Rayan, Vincent, Tamara, Hana, Shadow and Entity were hiding in a large, green plastic garbage bin with a black cover. The shadows, luckily, could manipulate their bodies' shape and form so that there would be enough space for all of them.
"Why do we have to hide exactly?" Hana asked as she was sitting on the garbage while holding Tamara between her legs and arms. Her legs weren't attached to the other shadows, having actually taken a normal shape and form as they looked as if she was wearing high heels. Tamara was sleeping peacefully as her sister's body elicited in her a feeling of protection and cuddling, which she often needed to feel.
"Because humans would freak out if they saw three materialised shadows," Shadow explained while holding the garbage bin's cover slightly up to watch through it and enlighten the place for the poor children. Lana was holding onto Rayan's arm as she was trying to sleep, but was too anxious of getting found and caught by Dr. Bob. Rayan stroked her hair gently, clearly trying to reassure his poor friend while they both laid their heads on each other's shoulders. Vincent was playing chinese morra with Entity, beating him each time while he raged for the frustration of getting beaten by a mere child.
"You little brat…" Entity snapped while his eye was flickering. Vincent was snickering as he was having fun because of Entity's frustration. Shadow would then close the cover of the garbage bin as the three shadows enlightened the shady place with their shiny white eyes.
"How long will we have to hide?" Rayan asked while still stroking Lara's hair. Shadow stared at Rayan; he wanted to laugh at the sight of the two children that looked like a couple, but decided to hold his laughter.
"I– (He puffed.) I don't know," Shadow answered before puffing again as his smiling mouth appeared, revealing his million sharp and long teeth to everyone. They weren't surprised at his smile anymore; it was not rare to see it now since with those children, his brother and sister, he was quite happy. Rayan blushed slightly as he knew what hid in Shadow's twisted mind.
"Such an asshole…" Rayan said as he held Lara tighter. She blushed at this as she started to relax and fell asleep.
"Aww, don't use such harsh words; we are like brothers after all~" Shadow replied teasingly as Rayan's blood boiled before he stared at Lara's sleepy face and tried to sleep too.
Kids… Shadow thought while his smile disappeared in his shady body.
"Aren't they older than us?" Entity asked, to which Shadow froze for some seconds before staring at him.
"OUT OF MY MIND!" Shadow yelled at him furiously.
"Shhhh! Be quiet…" Hana snapped while stroking Tamara's hair and using her own shady body to go down Rayan and Lara and transport them right next to her.
"You are acting like a mother right now," Shadow snapped. Hana snorted and pouted at him cutely.
"Because I love them," Hana replied while squeezing Tamara in a tight hug.
"Anyways, how will we find enough food for them?" Entity asked, now looking serious. Shadow shrugged and opened the cover of the garbage bin again to see if someone was around. Tamara then slowly woke up in her sister's arms.
"I miss home…" Tamara said. Hana then squeezed her, which caused Tamara to squeak cutely. Shadow came out from the bin as there was no one around anymore. However, in that right moment, a man, dead, fell on Shadow's head, smashing it and turning it like a pancake.
"What the heck?!" Shadow asked, enraged. When he stood up, the man fell from Shadow's head and back he smashed, the man's blood turning into a puddle that laid across the floor and reached Shadow's feet, who stepped back in disgust. Shadow then stared at the body of the man: it was all covered in blood and his hair were cut off, irritating him; but more strikingly, his face was opened with his brain and skull coming out from it, his body was opened with all his organs being visible, crossed and tied with each other around his heart, and his arms and legs were missing. Shadow realised this and looked around while fearing it slightly. He then entered the bin again and covered every possible way to open the cover with his solidified darkness.
"Cover the kids' eyes," Shadow ordered the two other shadows who executed his orders with their hands.
"Now, I will open the bin and NONE of you will let them see what's outside this bin until I tell you, ok?" he explained while Entity and Hana nodded. The children didn't complain but they were worried. Shadow removed the darkness and opened the bin while looking around. He covered the body of the man with darkness and then stepped out of the bin.
"What was that?" Entity asked while Hana remained silent but disturbed, covering the kids' eyes. Shadow stared around, watching each corner and inch of the place.
I wonder who did that… and where they are… Shadow pondered with a look of worry as he stepped out the alleyway. Many humans saw him and stood still, shocked.
"Shadow, what the fuck are you doing?!" Entity enraged at the sight of his brother revealing himself in public. Hana stepped back while holding Tamara and Lara.
"Listen, we are not safe here, nor will we ever be until we put the kids in a church or something… We have to let them go to a safer place, and the only way is getting the humans' attention on us," Shadow explained while walking towards Entity and placing a hand on his shoulder.
"But…" Entity began while holding Rayan and Vincent closer to him.
"Entity, I love them too. We've spent many years as brothers, but they are not safe in these alleyways," Shadow replied with a concerned and understanding look. Hana would shake her head violently.
"No! I will not let those humans take them away from me!" Hana shouted with teary eyes as her heart was being torn in pieces. Shadow stared at her for a while, conflicted but decided.
"You can stop covering their eyes… I made my decision," Shadow coldly said as his mouth full of sharp teeth appeared and he came out of the alleyway. A man and a woman started to scream in terror while calling the police, which arrived after some minutes. Police officers pointed guns at Shadow, who raised his hands. However, his attempts to try to show them he was pacifist didn't work as the police shot him, but it didn't affect him the slightest due to his liquid-like body, the bullets going through him and simply leaving holes that filled themselves in seconds due to liquid properties. Hana and Entity stopped covering the children's eyes and tried to step backwards with them.
"Is he dumb or something?!" Rayan shouted in anger as he tried to reach Shadow, but only to get pulled away by Entity.
"Don't act like an idiot!" Entity snapped while holding Rayan's arm.
"But… Shadow…" Rayan replied while looking at the floor.
"He will be fine; he is just trying to bring attention to you.
Not like I will let him take you all away from us… We can take care of you correctly too!" Hana reassured as she hugged Rayan's head, landing it on her belly and stroking his hair gently.
"But why is he getting shot?" Vincent asked, not understanding the police's actions.
"Because we are monsters, abominations…" Entity answered while staring at Shadow that was still getting shot. Entity was getting mad, so mad that he grabbed Shadow by his head and pinned him on a wall while getting shot by the police.
"Listen well to me you fucking excuse of a shadow… stop with this, stop it right… (His fingers turned sharp and grabbed Shadow's neck.) NOW!" he yelled in rage. He then stared at the police and let Shadow go as he started to walk towards them.
"Entity… what are you planning to do?" Hana asked, worried about what Entity planned. Suddenly, Entity summoned tentacles from his back as they reached the police and broke their guns, before they then ripped out the organs of the policemen. Shadow and Hana stared at him, shocked, as Entity was now purely and simply enraged. He started killing everyone and all policemen around him for entire hours until he calmed down. Tamara, Lara, Vincent and Rayan were shocked and traumatised more than what they already were.
"Fuck this world, I go back to that shitty laboratory," Shadow snapped while walking away.
"W–wait!" Hana shouted as she picked Tamara and Lara up and followed him, with Rayan and Vincent following them later on. Entity simply ignored them and hid in the shadows.
I will show them that they are wrong… once I will save them, I will ask for apologies! Entity thought while moving in the shadows, leaving the place where he caused such havoc.
