The next day I was staring at Sniffles , Mrs. Walkers cat who was staring back at me. I think we do that often. Any she wins every time. I saw Ben rushing towards me.

" Hey Dani did you see the news?"

" What news?"

Ben dragged me closer and showed his phone.

" This has gone viral, this girl , I don't know who, saved so many people yesterday . Isn't she cool?"

"She's cool? thanks man"

" What?"

" What I meant was she'd be so thankful when people appreciate her"

" Thankful? she? No Dani , we should be thankful to her , damn she's awesome!"

Well it was me in the video and I couldn't possibly tell Ben about that. And I had no idea why I was blushing.

"Wanna go for a walk?"

We were back at the lake. Ben was looking at me giving his sharp look. But I ignored him I dragged him into a conversation.

" So what do you think about that superhero girl"

" She's a terror"

" What?"

" Yeah, she's a terror. A girl who is a terror to the bad guys at night , just like a night terror, I don't think anyone out there will face any danger at night when she's around "

Night Terror? Now that's a cool name.

" Dani I wanna tell you something, I think I have this crush on a girl "

" Woah man , who is that?"

" It's Jane , our classmate "

WTF !!!

" Wow I'm really happy for you, just work on that and if you need any help you can ask me"

I smiled at him and went away without speaking a word. To be frank I was shaken by what he said. He is my best friend but I felt somewhat jealous of him loving another girl.

But anyways now that I'm a "superhero" I had a duty. To keep the city safe and I need to find who those backstreet boys were and what they are up to. Before all those things I needed a suit. A supercool one. The only suit that popped in to my head was the red and black suit I always day dreamed about.

I went home searched the entire house and found my moms red dress which she wore last Christmas and black fabric which in a cupboard. I worked hard for hours and finally I finished my suit.

A red and black suit which has a big golden star on my chest. Let the terror of night keep the city safe.

I went back to the creepy mansion by the lake and found out it was empty.

Hmmm now this is weird!!

I searched the area and found their lab. It was filled with colourful beakers and scribbled papers everywhere. Then I saw a pocket note book. I read it and found out that they've planned to ship this formula to Antartica.

I walked around and couldn't find anything important. Suddenly the floor was shaking and a man glowing in red light was in front of me. Before I could do anything, he hit me with all his might and I was thrown away . Even before I got up to my feet , the red glowing guy grabbed me by my collar and threw me down .

Ugh , I feel like I'm seeing flying cows around me.

Then he grabbed me by my neck and looked into my blazing brown eyes.

" Hey little girl! remember me?"

I looked at the man and it was one of those backstreet boys.

" Oh hey there, longtime huh?"

" Do you wanna know what happened to me?"

" Yeah can you please tell me why you stink so much , cause I'm taking a big risk in holding my breath "

" Shut the fuck up !!!! , I thought I lost my years of work, because you took it away from me, and then I rebuild it . Guess what it's better than the first one . And now let me finish you"

Now this guy is nuts !

" You injected your own formula into your own body? That's crazy man"

" Enough talking, time to die"

The new red glowing guy threw me towards the wall. Blood game gushing from my forehead.

Sorry old man but now it's my turn.

I stood up and before he could do anything I blasted off
my blue energy towards him. This time he hit the wall. I punched him in his face, I guess two or three times. Then he caught me by my leg and threw me again. I fell in a passage area. The red villain flew towards me . He blasted his red energy towards me and this time he missed.

I managed to get up and blast my blue energy at him. Then I flew towards the end of the passage which lead in to the tunnel I arrived the first day. My red friend was following me .

I entered the tunnel and then dived in to the lake . To my luck there was a fishing boat which was filled with fish guts.

Let's have a fish smoothie bath shall we?

When the red fire guy blasted at me I dodged his blast and I blasted out my energy with all my might . He flew up in the air and landed on the smelly fish guts.

Yuck !!!

I flew out of the lake and vanished into the sky.
