Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 58: Intruders

Some of you guessed partly right. . .

---------------------------------------------------------

Letting out an annoyed sigh, I reached out with my powers, Swinging my bedroom door open as I struck out towards the walls and center of the room.

Excluding my slowly twisting and turning shadow tendrils, The room was also empty.

What the hell?

 Slowly, I backed out of my room, Frowning as I checked over my entire apartment yet again, My dragons slowly coming out of their hiding spot.

Again, Nothing.

No one was in the apartment. . .But now the window was open as well.

The sun had finished setting by now, Leaving me with the advantage thanks to the darkness.

'We should leave. This doesn't seem safe.' Eige pointed out as he and the other two dragons flew over to me, Clinging to my body.

I continued to stand there dumbly, Looking around my apartment yet again with my shadows as Cali burrowed down into my hoodie's hood.

Once again, Nothing.

That couldn't be possible though, My window opens from the inside, Meaning someone had to be in my house. . .But where?

'I say we evacuate our neighbors and burn this place to the ground, We'll be able to find the intruder very easily then' Tene advised before Eige let out a long suffering sigh.

'Tene. This is our home and the home of a bunch of innocent people, Where the fuck will everyone live if we burn this apartment complex down?' Eige questioned as I turned my attention to Cali, The other two continuing to quietly argue.

''Cali? You for some reason always seem to know something the rest of us don't, You got any clue where this person is hiding?'' I questioned quietly, My voice barely above a whisper as I remained on guard.

 Cali poked his head out of my hood, Slowly slithering around my neck so he could peer up at me, Most of his body coiled around my throat.

'Neither of them are hiding' Cali said, Sounding confused as he spoke.

''. . .What? What do you mean 'Neither of them'? There's more than one?'' I demanded, My voice raising slightly in my nervous dread.

There was a quiet chuckle from the now suddenly open front door before someone slowly started to clap their hands as my gaze snapped up to. . .

''Oh for fucks sake not again'' I whispered as Poisoned thought slowly and calmly stepped into my apartment, One of his smoky shadows closing the door behind him.

My dragons instantly took flight, Hiding in the random corner tunnels I had built into my apartment for a similar reason to this.

I continued to glare at Poisoned as he smiled faintly, A thin lipped smile as he watched my dragons hide with what I assumed to be amusement.

He still was all dressed up like he was planning on going to a gala or some shit.

''Hello again, I see you've got your powers back. . .I do hope those sapient shadows aren't one of the side effects of the little test'' He said vaguely with the same velvety soft voice he had used last time we unfortunately met.

I could feel pressure starting to form on my mind, Just like last time, But this time, This time I tuned out the pressure, Raising my guard further.

Surprisingly enough, The pressure let up.

Reaching out towards my shadows, I raised my head, A small frown on my face.

''Well, It's getting quite late, Let's get you back to the lab'' He said calmly, Brushing non existent dust off his suit jacket as he spoke before starting to approach me.

Narrowing my eyes, I lashed out at him with my shadows, Fully prepared to break my 'no killing people' rule for this single man.

Instead, My shadows stopped inches away from him, Shaking slightly as if they had hit an invisible wall.

The man before me hummed slightly, His closed lipped smile growing at that as he stopped in his approach.

''You can't harm me, Do you know why?'' He questioned, His voice gentling at his question.

''What the fuck. . .'' I whispered, Horrified as my heart sunk as fast as it could.

''It's alright to not know, I can very well explain it to you'' He continued, Taking my horrified response as a sign that I didn't know what was happening.

''I know what that means. I don't need an explanation.'' I hissed out, Taking two large steps away from him as I lowered my shadows, Coiling them around the window and front door.

Guess there's no point in trying to fight him with my powers. . .It's not going to work anyways. . .

He hummed thoughtfully again as there was suddenly a brief gust of wind into my apartment before suddenly, A familiar asshole of a boy stepped into my apartment.

Gust had a dazed expression on what I could see of his face when I turned to face him.

He, Oddly enough, Just like Poisoned, Was wearing a complex suit with a waistcoat instead of a suit jacket.

'What the hell? What's going on here?' Eige hissed out as Tene slowly swam out of his hiding spot, Gliding down to land on my shoulder.

'I'm still all for setting this place on fire, The stupid destiny thing won't stop him from burning in the flames' Tene whispered in my ear as the villain across from me frowned slightly.

''I do hope you're just goofing around with your shadows to make those lizard things for fun'' The villain sighed out tiredly as I gently grabbed onto Tene, Moving to hide him from sight.

''Why would it matter either way?'' I questioned, Slowly backing away from both of the men. . .Who were sadly blocking both nearby exits. . .

Poisoned shook his head slowly before he gestured towards the door.

''Why don't we walk and talk, It's quite nice out tonight and I rather not remain in here in such a dark place'' The other villain said, The tone of his voice leaving no room for argument.

. . .Why. Just why. Why does this happen to me. . .
