"Sorry about that." The girl called Echo said, brushing her clothes off. She reached over and took the torch from the mysterious guy. Then Echo looked up and locked eyes with Luna. And she felt an understanding flicker between them, eyes of grey and green locked in an unbreakable hold.

Suddenly, Echo tossed the torch and reached up and grabbed an arrow, pulling it back into her bow. Luna did not have time to think, nor turn, nor run. She felt the whoosh of an arrow fly past her ear and then a sudden screaming of agony come from behind her.

Luna slowly turned around and faced nothingness. There was nothing there, just the arrow moving around on its own, as the invisible shadow shook and lurched to escape the pain. The sound started to gurgle in the thing's throat until it went silent.

"What was that thing?!" Luna said, breathless, she had only heard that type of scream one time before, and it was not a pretty memory for her. Her past was not all sunshine and rainbows. She was held prisoner to herself since she was young, her gifts killed and slaughtered those who dared to get too close. She did not want to, but an implant in her wrist caused her to change personalities completely. One time, she was doing her 'job' and killed a little boy's mother. The boy let out a heart-wrenching scream that haunted her to this day. Of course, at that moment, she did not care whatsoever for the boy, it just gave her more reason to destroy him. He did not live to share this with the rest of the world.

"Night stars." The man said, obvious signs of sadness shown on his face. He reached up and grabbed a crossbow from over his head, holding it out defensively in front of his body. His brown eyes shifted from side to side.
