Shadows

Chapter Five: Home Alone

"So what are you four going to not do?" Mother asked.

"We aren't going to fight with each other, leaving the house, answer the door, or have people over." All four of them said.

"Okay. I love you babies. Be safe. I'll be back tomorrow. Go to bed on time." Mother said and left.

All three of those rules were broken that night and it was all Mystery's fault. She yelled at her brothers for not doing what she wanted so she got mad. She opened the door and walked out. Then someone walked up. It was a man. He was wearing all black and mystery smiled. Mystery used her shadows to hurt him badly. Her smile got wider at the thought and sight of hurting him. 'This is fun.' She thought to herself and continued doing it. She stayed outside until midnight that night. She doesn't remember going inside but when she woke up, she was sleeping on her bed in the clothes from yesterday still on. Her mom came home a couple hours later and none of them mentioned a thing that they did wrong.

"Hello?" Mother asked on the phone.

"You child will pay!" Someone yelled through the phone. Mystery and her brothers looked up from the table when they heard it.

"Why? Which one?"

"The girl! It's all her dumb fault! She's going to pay big time!" The person yelled then hung up.

"Mystery what did you do?"

"I don't know mère. I don't know anyone other then you guys." Mystery said quietly.

"Stop lying."

"I'm not lying." Mystery said and glared at her.

"I said stop lying! Go to your room NOW!"

Mystery stood up from the table without eating anything and went to her room. She slammed the door shut and entertained herself by making shadows dance around the room. She smiled to herself. She stopped and looked out the window at the full moon. She climbed out her window and climbed up the roof. She sat at the top and looked up at the night sky. She smiled wider and took a deep breath. "This is the best." She whispered to herself. Then she heard noises. She looked towards the forest by her house and saw some hunters. Mystery glared but watched as they killed an animal. She watched curiously as they skinned it then took the meat. They then headed back into the forest with meat in their packs and blood on their hands.

"That's discussing!" Mystery whispered loudly.

But she had one thought. 'Could I make my shadows kill?'
