Full of Surprises

Chapter 10: Away For A While

Third Person

When Silver arrived at Ino, there indeed was a group of Day Walkers waiting for her as what the officer has told her. "Thank you for escorting me all the way here." She thanked the guard and went to the group of people.

"What's taking that Night Dweller so long?" A pale blonde girl with charcoal black eyes, complained. She wore a bright yellow tube that only covered her breasts and exposed the rest of her upper body. She wore a cream colored puffy loose pants and yellow sneakers, she also had light brown gloves on, a red handkerchief around her neck like a cowgirl, and a thick belt around her waist. "What do you expect from those arrogant beings? They're no different from each other." An orange-headed guy behind the female Day Walker replied.

'The conflict between them- I mean us is more complicating than I thought.' Silver gulped and gathered enough courage and confidence to walk up to them.

The young mismatch-eyed girl gave them a nervous smile before saying, "Hi, I-I'm Silver Twilight." She awkwardly waved at them. She still isn't used to meeting new persons after all.

They remained oblivious to the thought that Silver actually overheard what they said about her—and her race. But the Night Dweller kept it to herself for she didn't want anymore problems like the one she forced herself to forget.

"Finally!" The blonde rolled her eyes and raised her hand up in the air as if praising the skies. "Uh... You're a female Night Dweller?" The orange-headed guy from earlier asked. From up close, Silver could see his features more clearly. His hair wasn't exactly orange, it was yellow orange, and his eyes were midnight blue. He wore a noble's clothes which were mostly different shades of green. But his face was covered by a shimmering green masquerade mask

and Silver can't make out what he really looks like.

"Yeah..." Silver scratched her cheek. "Its obvious, isn't it?"Another Day Walker revealed himself. He had a cream colored hair that seems to be tinted with sky blue when reflected by the sun. His eyes were similar to Eron's but only a darker shade of green.He wore a purple suit that's for battle and a dark blue coat to cover it. "Oh shut up you two." The same blonde female commanded, and you can tell she was already irritated.

'I thought they would send us a male Night Dweller. It might be a bit hard for me.' The yellow orange-headed Day Walker thought to himself.

"By the way, I'm Autumn Rays, nice to meet you." The Day Walker dressed as a noble, introduced himself, extending his hand. Silver gladly took it and flashed a smile. "Nice to meet you too." The other male stepped up. "Sky Evergreen." He gestured his hand, acknowledging Silver's presence. She nodded at him, taking note of the name in case she would forget. Autumn and Sky waited for their female friend to introduce herself. She just scowled at them. "Its only a one-time mission. Its not like we'll stick with her forever." She spat out with venom lacing her every word as she pointed at Silver. What she did is insulting and offensive but Silver didn't take it to the heart. "We're not forcing you to do it anyway." Sky replied without much care and it ticked the blonde off. "Fine!

Fall.... Fall Lantern." Silver just continued smiling.

***Meanwhile***

Shawn said he would be a messenger for the day, but that wasn't it. The higher ups gave him a task to track down a butterfly sprite that has been bothering the Neutrals, Day Walkers, and Night Dwellers. Right now, his only lead was in a Night Dweller Territory called, 'In Circles'. That place is filled with mages and what makes it dangerous is that on the way there, there are unknown beasts, sprites and other creatures that are yet to be discovered. His other task was to take note of all the unfamiliar creatures he crosses paths with.

The mischievous red head didn't do his task like he was supposed to of course. Sometimes he would fool around before finishing it or before reporting back to the palace. But he always finishes his tasks and missions no matter what. The only thing is that he doesn't take it too seriously.

On the way there, he spotted a sprite that tried to lure him into her trap. "Please.... Help me." She chose the form of a female that's injured. Shawn took his pen and pretended to list this creature down while saying, "An attention seeker sprite." The sprite gave a look of defeat and whined. "Fine. You got me again. Genius. " She returned to her original form. Shawn chuckled at this. "You actually tried to seduce me?" He pulled his lips into a smirk. "I tried a lot of things actually. But none of them worked on you." She honestly replied. "That's because I know you already and..." He went close to her, and whispered in her ear, "you're not my type." The sprite thought he finally accepted her but in the end, her hopes got crushed and she got rejected instead. Shawn lets out a playful snicker while the sprite muttered something under her breathe. "Oi, water-type sprite, just go do your thing." She stood up and dusted herself, "I have a name and its Mira!" Mira exclaimed, obviously annoyed. But when she looked around, Shawn already went off. 'Tsk. Not again.' She thought.

Silver Twilight

We started to head out of Ino for the mission but we needed a place to stay at first. "I'm sure as hell that I wouldn't share a room with a Night Dweller." Fall insisted and I looked down. This group of people are already treating me and stuff and I can't even do something for them. "You're making her feel bad, Fall." Autumn tried to convince Fall but she didn't change her mind. "Sky, would you?" Sky agreed for me to stay in his room without hesitation nor care. "Then that means we'll be roommates and that settles it." For a moment, Autumn seemed to be lost in his thoughts but he snapped out of it before anyone else could notice.

Even tho I'm with a group of Day Walkers and the relationship between our races is bad, I still feel.. "Welcomed." I said the last part too loud and Sky heard it. "Huh?" I looked at him and said, "Its no-nothing." He shrugged it off and we prepared ourselves, went to our room and fixed our things before going out to search for this 'Shallow Lock'.
