Twilight nodded and smiled.
"Yes. Indeed." she said.

OOC: I STILL DONT HAVE MY KEDAAAAAH!!!

He looked at her warmly and shivered as he saw a blue jay

OOC: Lol.

Twilight cocked her head.
"You okay?" she said.

"Memories..." he said, stopping and staring at the bird. Instead of having black markings on it, the blue jay had yellow. It chirped happily.

Twilight shrugged. She stopped at Marik's side and looked up at where he was looking.
"Blue jay." she said.

He nodded
" Do you mind if I tell you my story, to make myself feel a bit better?" he asked as he examined it

Twilight shook her head.
"Don't mind at all. I could tell you mine if you want to know. It tells why I'm so jumpy and shy." she said.

"you go first...." he stated, sitting on a nearby log by a lake

Twilight nodded.
"Alright. At five years old, my mom and dad abandoned me and my brother Dark. Dark was only seven then, but he felt responsible for my safety. He constantly thieved, gambled, and got into fights with people older and bigger than him. He usually came back really beat up and bruised every night. One day I saw my brother in a fight. He got beat up to the point of where he could fight no longer. I came to his rescue, but not before getting beat up pretty bad myself. All the blood and scrapes and bruises scarred me because I was so young then so from there on I was forever shy and jumpy." she said, looking up at the sky with a sigh.

His eyes wandered
"Well, I was an orphan and found a family at the age of two. My dad hated me, my brother, and sister. He was out all day and night and we never knew how the outside looked like, since we were always trapped at home. When I was eight, Me and my sister, Ishizu, found a way to go outside. When father found that we were gone, he threatened to kill my brother....That day, I was assigned to get painful tattoos carved into my back while my brother was being tortured. The pain and upset I felt formed my other personality. When the tattoos were carved fully, he took over and murdered my father, and my mother, so me and my siblings were forced to live alone. But when Odion, my brother, found my other personality, he sealed him inside me, but it failed and took negative affect. Now, he takes over as he pleases...." He said as he shed a tear

"That bird reminded me of my brother's bird..." he added

Twilight gave Marik a reassuring hug.
"I feel bad for you. Your story is much much worse than mine." she said.

He smiled and kissed her quickly

"It was hard back then...." he stated

Twilight nodded, her face solemn.
"I bet."

"Stop it!" Shadow yelled.

The group of boys faced Shadow now.

The young boy ran to Shana, who was struggling to get up.
"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine, just help me up. I don't want them to hurt Shadow." muttered Shana in pain.

A girl stood atop a building.

Ada ran to Shadow's side.

"What are you going to do?" taunted the tall boy.

" I don't want to fight, unless I have to." Shadow said.

"Tch. Doesn't he know that in this town, you'll get beat up if you don't fight?" spat the girl.

"Ooh, I'm so scared." taunted the boy.

Shana had gotten to her feet with the help of the boy.
"Don't hurt him!" she yelled.

A few boys turned and grabbed Shana.

Shadow was losing his temper "Let go of her now!!!" He shouted.

"Why should I?" teased the boy.

The small boy was trembling with fright. He hadn't wanted to bring these nice people into his fight.
"If y-you don't let her go, I'll call my sister." he squeaked.

"Ooh, scary." taunted the boy.

Shadow was angry "I will give you ten seconds!" Shadow shouted.

The boy drew a dagger.
"One step, and she's dead." He said.

The boy shook his head.
"No. Matilda!!!!!!" He yelled.

"I was waiting!" Yelled the girl. She leapt off the building, doing a flip in the air and landing gracefully on her feet. She whipped out two daggers and knocked the boy's dagger out of his hand.
"Let her go, or you're the one who'll die." She spat.

"Whoa." Shadow muttered.

The boys, frightened let go of Shana, who ran to Shadow.

"Good. Now get movin." Spat Matilda.

The boys took off running.

Matilda swept her long navy hair over her shoulder and watched the boys run. She turned to Shana and the others.
"Are you guys okay?" She muttered.

Shadow looked at Shana.

Shana was covered in cuts and bruises. She looked at Shadow.
"I'm fine." She said unconvincingly.

The small boy walked to Matilda's side.
"Thank you sis." He said.

"Are you sure?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah." Shana lied.

"I'm Matilda. I'm a criminal catcher. This is my brother Lucio. He constantly gets bullied by groups like those." Said the girl.

Shadow looked at Shana one more time, then looked at Matilda "Nice to meet you, I'm Shadow."

Matilda nods.
"Odd name." She says.

Lucio gently elbows his sister for her hostility.
"I'm very sorry. My sister had such a horrible backstory that it led her to be quite cold and hostile now." He said quietly.

"And it's not like I don't have one." Shadow rolling his eyes.

Now it was Shana's turn to elbow Shadow.
"Geez. You're both hostile." She muttered.

Matilda sniffed.
"Lucio, stick with them. I must be off." She said.

Lucio nodded.

Shadow suddenly had a flashback of his younger years " I'm going to look around ." Shadow said as he quickly walked away.

Shana cocked her head, but nodded.
"Alright."

Lucio walked to Shana and Ada.

Matilda took off into the darkness.

A tear rolled down Shadow's face as he rembered his childhood.

He stared at the sunset lit sky and looked at the reflection in the water and sighed
"Well, the most part is over now....but with after effects...." he mumbled

Shadow took a pencil and a piece of paper. He started to write, and when he finished he exited the city.

Matilda sighed. She hated her childhood so why did Lucio have to go talking about it. Although that boy had seemed to have a backstory like hers.
"Maybe I could relate to him." She thought.

Shana sat down and Lucio sat down beside her.
"You sure your truly fine?" He asked.

"No, but I couldn't tell Shadow that." Said Shana.

Shadow walked into the forest.

"So what are you exactly?" he asked, thinking of her cat form

Twilight nodded.

Ada walked the way Shadow had gone.
"Shadow, where are you going?" She called.

Shadow dropped the letter hoping Shana would find it.

He looked back at her and smiled. He did not know what to say when alone with his secret crush.

"Somewhere." Shadow said.

Twilight looked at him.
"A kind of cat Pegasus mix." She said.

Ada picked up the letter and brought it back to Shana.

Shana took the letter and opened it.

OOC: and it says?

OOC: He's leaving....for the second time.

"Cool...I guess im a normal human, he only one of those around here..." he said smiling then giggling

OOC: oh goodness not again.

"He's leaving again. I have a feeling that he's doesn't want to travel with me." Said Shana, shaking her head.

Ada sighed.

Matilda noticed Shadow. She caught up with him.
"Where you going? I didn't think you'd leave that girl behind. She seemed to mean a lot to you." She said, walking with him.

"Yes, She means a lot to me, But it's to dangerous for her." Shadow still walking.

"Too dangerous huh? Guess that's how I feel all the time when my brother wants to travel with me. He so young you know?" Said Matilda.

" Yeah." Shadow said.
