I woke up with a small girl on my lap, I didn't know where I was, let alone who I was. I heard a groan from the girl, she woke up looking as confused as me. "Any idea where we are, or who we are?" I whispered to her, she shook her head, "You look like the older one." I nodded and looked around, I spotted a bow with a quiver full of arrows beside it. I went to get up and felt something jab into my side. I looked down and saw a sword tied to my waist.

"Looks like I might be your body guard." She looked at all the weapons and nodded, the color of the feathers on the arrows was the same color as the dress and cloak I was wearing. I slung the quiver over my shoulder and held the bow. "Let's find a way out of here." She nodded and we walked on, we walked for what felt like hours. The tree bed above us showed no signs of light. Just darkness, on and on, endless darkness and shadows.

I thought of all the shadows around me, about how scary they looked. Then I felt something in my gut click. I saw images and memories flash before my eyes. I stopped and dropped my bow, my jaw dropping.

I sighed as I slashed another attack dummy in half with my katana. It had a white blade with a black hilt, I didn't like to take to get to much attention that I didn't need, but coming to weapons I go all out. "Shadow, Penny!" I groaned and screamed back, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" I got a small giggle from my sister, "Dinner's ready!" Me and my sister grinned at each other, "COOOOOOOOOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!" I smiled at her as I picked her up, bridal style, and walked to our cabin.

We ate in silence, like always. I barely ate, but thanks to my sister I do. I feel like I was the reason our dad left, minutes after he gave me to to mom, then ten years later he came with Penelope. Yeah, we were adopted. I never got to see him face to face, but my mom gave me something he wanted me to have. A purple/black cloak. I cherished it

The second I finished eating I dashed outside to start practicing with my bow, I had a black arrow shafts and carved a broken heart into my bow. My cloak and dress flooded behind me as I ran deep into the forest. My dress matched the color of my cloak, it went in a wide upside down V to my waist.

I grabbed my bow from the small hole me and my sister made in the snow. If anyone was passing by they would mistake it as a bunny hole. I shot the hidden targets in the trees, I couldn't get lazy at any moment of any day. No matter what.

My mom had given me the sword from dad, the bow and arrows as well. He said I'll need it. All I wanted to do was protect my sister, for alI care my mom could die. Whatever that meant I needed to save Penny. Plus I was planning to save me and my sister from whatever this "threat" was.

I practiced until I felt like a hunch backed old woman, and my hands were raw. We were planning our escape plan tomorrow, if we had enough time. I went to my room, threw my cloak under my bed, the bed near the window as always, and slept. I was to tired to even change or put my cloak away. I listened to the soft snores of my sister in the bed beside me. It was like a lullaby, sending me into a deep sleep.

I woke up, bleary eyed and chest aching from yesterday. I was slowly working away from my comfort zone, which was good. Safety isn't about comfort, it's about survival. I woke up and quickly packed my black leggings, a black or a purple shirt, and a few more dresses identical to the one I wore in bed. I slung the sack over my shoulder and walked to where my mother and sister were dinning. "Shadow, I heard you were taking your sister camping?" I nodded slowly.

We headed out, towards my favorite spot in the woods. What we didn't know, was that there was something lurking in there, looking for us.

I gasped as I heard a low grumble from one of the bushes. I grabbed the girl and held her to my side tightly. I closed my eyes and muttered to myself, "Please wake up," Multiple times. But I knew if this really were a dream, I would have woken up a long time ago.
