"Hello Shadow Girl." the hairs on the back of my neck rose and I cursed. No weapon. I heard heavy boots getting closer, and at the last moment, I kicked out backwards. My foot came in contact with his chest, causing him to stumble back. Damn tall bastard. I jumped back, giving myself some space. He was no longer wearing his stealth suit, but dark jeans and a simple red shirt. He had a scar that stretched from the corner of his mouth and down his neck. He was tall and lean like my brothers though he definatly had some muscles beneath his shirt.

I mentally slapped myself, focus! "What in the hell are you doing here?" I shouted at him. He held up his hands,"Im not here to fight you Shadow." He said. "Well why the hell not? You tried to barbecue me last night!" He frowned a little. "I did not set this place on fire. I was passing through when I saw you jump from the window." I frowned. "But you shot me last night too." Again he frowned. "Ok so that I did do."What family do you belong to? That job wasn't sent to anyone else." He grinned and my heart sped up a little. "Can't I steal a pretty jewel for myself?" I frowned. So he's just a regular cat burglar?

"You never answered my question. What are you doing here?" He was still grinning. "I wanted to make sure you were alright." "Liar, you were here for the diamond." He frowned and shrugged. "You got me." I growled a little and glanced around. There! I dove for a pile of ruble and grabbed the silver gun. I spun and fired, the silver haired man dropped to the ground to dodge. He rolled and lept out the window. I ran to the window and looked down. He was gone. Damn.

I went back to looking around my apartment. The silver eyed man had distracted me but now I could see a large mark on my wall. It was painted in black and the shape spiraled slightly. I took out my phone and snapped a picture of it. I dug through my things, hoping to find anything that wasn't ruined. The only thing I found was my bow. I left, heading back for the manor. I sat at the bar alongside a boy with pale blonde hair. He was Sorren Dreyer. I thought he was quiet handsome, very tall and muscular like his dad, Laxus. He was my best friend.

"Sup shorty," he mumbled around a fork full of food. "Oh the usual, thieving, getting shot and trying not to get burned alive." "Rough night." He mumbled. I nodded as Mira, also Sorrens mom, came up with a plate of food. "Hey Aunt Mira," "Hmm?" I held up my phone with the picture. "Do you know what this is?" I could see her pale as she looked at the picture. "This was in your apartment?" she asked quietly and I nodded. "What is it?" But she didn't answer, just rushed to the other side of the bar, pulling out her phone.

"That was weird. Mon doesn't usually act like that." I nodded before digging into my food. My phone started ringing before I could get my third fork full, it was my sister. "Hey K-chan what's up?" "Sky-nii I'm scared."she whispered. My heart stopped. My sister may be a sweetheart and non violent, but it took a lot to scare her. She was a Redfox after all. "Kyleigh where are you?" I asked in a serious tone. It got Sorrens attention and he looked worriedly at me.

"I'm at home, hiding in my closet... There are men with guns in here..." My blood boiled. She was young but she had gotten her own small house a few blocks away from her school. "I want you to stay as quiet as possible. Im coming to get you." "Okay." she hung up and I jumped to my feet. I had no weapons but my bow, and with no arrows it did me no good. I ran to the weaponry with Sorren hot on my heels.

"Sky what is going on?!" "My sisters in trouble!" I yelled at him before bursting through the doors. Erza was there, putting away guns and looked at me startled. Her scarlet hair was lightly streaked in gray and that was the only indication to her age. I didn't answer her questions as I grabbed a sword as well as two guns. I turned and ran, people quickly getting out of my way. My sisters house was ten minutes away by foot. As I ran I called my dad.

"This is Gajeel," he said gruffly. Damn man doesn't look at his caller id. "Dad its Sky. K-chans in trouble, I'm on my way to her house right now." He hung up without a word and I put my phone away as I approached her house. My stomach turned as I saw the door hanging off it's hinges. I circled the house first, making sure no one was outside. When I made it back to the front a motorcycle squeeled to a halt in front off the house and my dad hopped off, katana in hand. I inched inside, my own sword drawn. The inside of the house nearly made me sick.

Furniture was tipped over, picture frames were broken, every door was kicked in and dishes were scattered in the kitchen. I quickly made it to her bedroom and it was also torn to shreds, the closet door hanging off it's hinges. "Damn it!" I punched the door frame of the closet. "I'm sorry dad... I wasn't fast enough..." I tried not to sob. He put a hand on my shoulder. "We will find her. Lets go back to the manor and set up a search party." he said gruffly. I nodded a little and turned.

On the wall by her door was the same spiral painted onto the wall. I gritted my teeth as I walked into the living room, and there he was. I ran at the silver haired man, slamming him into the wall and holding my blade to his throat. "I am getting sick and tired of seeing you. I swear if you did anything to my sister-" "I didn't take your sister." he sighed a little. "I'm actually hunting down the ones who took her." "Who are they?" I growled.

"They are called Phantom Lord."
