The Shadows Move: Ninja Killer

The Shadows Move: Let the shadows hug you

        It's a nice warm not to hot evening, and you're out on a nice walk under the streetlights. You realize there is another shadow following yours, so you turn but see no one. A chill runs deep in your body making you walk faster. The same shadow follows you with ease, but now you realize you're running, sprinting to get home. You turn sweating and the shadow isn't there anymore, so you take deep breathes and walk. Faint whispers feel your head as the cool breeze blows through the street. The words repeat seeming to get louder "Let the shadows hug you." You turn around and no one is there. You shake it off thinking you're a little tired as you turn you head a figure stares just beyond the other side of the street.

        The lights on that side seem the flicker every time the figure walks under one. Your senses tell you the lights are just old and need replacement, but no that isn't it. The figure has a mask on wearing a black and red hoodie that seems tight on him barley showing his eyes. The more you stare at the eyes you realize the eyes or blood shot red with the green pupils. The figure walks matching your step with ease the pace is on point, even when the pace is picked up the figure hasn't had trouble keeping up. The police drive by and stop you the female officer asks "Hey kid why are you out so late?" You try and tell her someone is following you, but when you look the figure is gone, there are no alleys, no ladders or buildings open for the figure to run to. The officer tells you its just tricks on your mind, but before she drives off she has a faint smile and her eyes are cold blue and she tells you "Just let the shadows hug you" She drives off.

        You make it home nice and cool, but a little to cold. The halls seem longer, darker, scarier with each step the shadows loom over you and a hand grabs you, The lights cut on and it's just your parent asking where were you, so you explain everything and they tell you it was probably just a homeless man or some prankster. The lights cut back off, and you hear the faint whispers again "Let the shadows hug you," and you dash straight to your room and as you cut the light on it blows out. You quickly dress into your sleeping clothes and get in the bed. Nice and cozy as you hug your pillow or stuff animal. Right when you drift off you see a shadow stand over you tilting its head. 

        You shoot straight up and look around quickly, but nothing is in the room your door is still closed everything is in check. You hear screams coming from your parents' room, instinct tells you to check it out. You open the door and your stomach drops as the whispers return with words added at the end, "Let the shadows hug you and... gut you and steal your soul." Your mom's chest is split open her heart in her mouth intestines wrapped around the cieling fan dripping blood on her face and her limbs stabbed into the bed. Your dad's is even worse his head is up his ass, legs and arms are broke at a 90 degree angle, while the spine is on the pad sitting straight up. You then realize your brother and sister are still in their room.

        You open the door and the figure sits their rubbing both of their heads having a low male whisper saying "Let the shadows hug you kids and take you away." The figure stands and turns towards you and makes it way as the shadows engulf the kids. You flee to your room, close it and lock it. A sharp pain shoots through your back and you're pulled on to your bed. The figure appears from the shadows the exact figure on the streets. You ask "Who are you?!" as blood fills your mouth uncontrollably. The figure responds "I am what gives the boogeyman nightmares, I am what goes bum in the night." The figure reveals his name with a faint snicker and smile"My name is TaVian and I am just your average Teenager, should have let the shadows hug you." 

        The pain is unbareable the kunai slowly puncturing your eye and pulling it out and then the other. The katana slowly cuts through your flesh then with a quick swipe blood hits the cieling, the walls, and you as your arm falls off. The bed shakes, whispers turn into screams of males and females "LET THE SHADOWS HUG YOU!!" Before you know it your chest is split open and your organs are everywhere.

        I follow you and observe you with caution. I am your shadow I am all the shadows you see or the shadows that you think have moved, but never did. I aquire assistants in the shadows I may ask for you help in one point in time, if you believe in me and other pastas. Just so you know if you hear "Let the shadows hug you" that means I will be coming for you, and if you attempt to flee or tell others it makes your death and theirs worse. Let the shadows hug you.
