Fear seems to evolve, to change, and then people ask, is this fear?

They say stars only shine in darkness. So are the stars bits of light trying to defeat the evil darkness?

Darkness lives inside of everyone, some people are stronger than it, others aren't. Instinct comes before reality. So is darkness truly evil?

If a person changes is the darkness eliminated? If one says something is it true? Who knows....

Is fear darkness or is darkness fear?

2 Years Later

??? POV

The sky seemed so far away, as I ran along the beach. There in the darkness stood someome, but I couldn't make them out.

"You must be the one who called me here?"

The person turned and nodded.

"I need you to take care of someone for me. She is a pain in my side."

I nodded.

"Just look for someone with a crossbow."

The person turned and left. Crossbow? Who carries one of those around all day?

DX'S POV

I walked down the street and up to my house. I reached for the door noon when I felt something up against my back. I slowly turned to face a crossbow held by a hooded person.

"Real funny. Do you know who I am? If your attempting to scare me, well, it's not working."

I laughed at the person trying to act like Moonlight.

"Funny ye say? After all those years. Ye all thinking I was dead. Funny indead. I wonder, DX, if you know who I am?"

The person turned and fled into the alley.

"Well then."

I turned to see Moonlight looking down the alley.

"That was odd."

We laughed it off and went inside. That was funny as all hell.

Next Day

Moonlight's POV

I went up to the forest on a side of this huge bay. The place was something to say it simply. People didn't go into the forest because of tales about a place where they would turn you hybrid.

Ain't that something? Hell, I used to work at one of those places.

"There!"

I heard the yell and tried to see where it came from.

A bolt was sent into my shoulder. I tried to yank it out but everything was starting to blur. I tried to move but collapsed instead.

??? POV

This woman didn't carry a crossbow. I had shot a random person.

I walked towards her, only to regret it. She jumped up and swung hard, knocking me down. I pulled my crossbow and tried to aim, but was pinned.

I sound crazy but I was pinned by a wolf that had a metal arm. One eye was plated by metal that ran down its neck and spine.

I lost my grip and dropped my crossbow. I expected death so I closed my eyes. Then the weight vanished. I looked around but there was no sign of the wolf. My head spun in confusion. The only things ever built like that were AT hunters. But that was no AT. That definitely had belonged to the government at one time......

I picked my stuff up and left. I wanted to find it, but didn't want to die at the same time. I'll look for that woman, and then I'll make her show herself....
