SHADOWS ADVOCATE (The Heiress Trilogy)

"I want to become a Shadow of the night

 Moving at a speed of the wind

 Fly like a left fell from trees

Run under the dripping rain." -------- Klauss Kleinford

Tonight is a bit dark. There is no sign of any stars shining in the sky. The moon was hiding behind the dark clouds beneath the universe.

A wolf howls tirelessly far in northern woods. It's getting late and the town already sleeps soundlessly. Nothing I could hear but the sound of night birds and insects.

All the pets of every household have seemed silent tonight, even our neighbor's stupid dog. I could feel no wrong about the night but it's oddly too quite.

The moon glances shyly behind a vast cloud above. Shadows distressingly vanish from the street when the moon has its surprise peek.

Our front door opens then closes without a sound. I sneakily get out in my bedroom to have a peep in our living room and nothing I could see but shadows.

One of them looks up where I am hiding, seems to feel my presence. I quickly move away from the railings and press my body into the floor.

I heard footsteps walking towards the library... nothing I could hear but only my father's steps.

Only a door closing I caught when I peep back.

I silently crawl the staircase and carefully stepping down to create no sound.

I press my ear into the Library but only whispers I could hear from the darkroom behind this close door.

I pressed my ear evenly when I hear a click and the knob turn-round... I faint when the door open and saw a shadow standing in front of me.

"Hello young man,"  the Shadow man greeted me. "Still playing a spy, eh?"
