    About this ebook

    Two months after his epic battle with The Prophecy Destroyer, Umbra continues to wait for the citizens of his town to return. Feeling lonelier than ever, it only gets worse as a strange magical occurrence called The Dark Sun rises, cutting off contact between Umbra and his Shadow all while an evil Shadow Hunter is after the necklace. Umbra must survive the next eighteen hours until the The Dark Sun sets.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Old Memories

      ...The past is something that everyone carries around with them. No matter where you are, or who you are, the haunting memories and emotions follow you. Letting go is hard, but reliving these nightmares are even harder. Each second spent on a bad memory is a knock on the door to an uneasy mind.

      Darkness was all around him. No walls. No floor. Nothing at all. Floating in the vast darkness, he drifted to the left, searching for anything that might be present. He reaching in front of him, grabbing at nothing. It was cold.

      Hello? He whispered out. It echoed all around him. He looked around, seeing where his echo travels. Where am I? When silent, he thought he could hear his own heart beating.

      A slight hissing sound echoed around. He flipped around, not knowing what made the eerie sound. A confused look slapped on his face.

      Pen? He questioned. Is that you? Have you come to warn me about something? He awaited an answer.

      The hissing continued. It started to hurt his head. He covered his ears, the sound piercing through his head. Shutting his eyes, he only hoped that the noise would stop and that he would leave where he was. The hissing grew louder. Him covering his ears did nothing to prevent the hissing from slithering into his head.

      Ahhh! He screamed. Ahhh! Make it stop! As soon as he yelled that out, the hissing halted. He slowly unblocked his ears. Looking around, he wondered what made it stop. Was someone listening to him? Whoever's here with me, show yourself.

      Hello Umbra, a calm and familiar voice echoed out. He frantically looked around as he didn't think anything would happen.

      Who's there? Umbra hollered out. He was trying to pinpoint where he had heard that voice before. For him, it has been so long since he had made any contact with familiar faces. I said show yourself!

      How do you not recognize my voice? The familiar feminine voice said. It was very calming to Umbra.

      Umbra continued to look around, hoping that whoever it was would show themselves. Come out from dark! Face me in the light!

      It's me. She appeared right in front of him. The dark mass pulled back, revealing her. Remember? The tense feeling that he had suddenly changed to a much softer tone.

      The first thing that he noticed was her long blonde hair. He slowly muttered her name. Katy. He reached out his hand, and so did she. It seemed like she was making the same movements as him. As they grabbed each other's hands, they pulled themselves together. Wha...what are you doing here?

      Do you not want me here? She asked. Her face went from gentle and happy, to frustrated and confused.

      No, no, it's just... Umbra started. It's just, I haven't seen you in a while. That's all. They pulled closer to each other. He could feel her breath hitting him. Placing his hand on her cheek, he moved it up and down, feeling her smooth skin. He knew that this moment had to be real. As their lips were inches away from one another's, Umbra suddenly remembered something. The diary, he whispered. He gave Katy a forceful shove. The diary!

      What was that for? Katy said. She faced both her palms up at she gave Umbra a disgusted look. What diary?

      You damn well know what diary I'm talking about! Umbra yelled. His face starting turning red. That night our town was evacuated. I didn't leave with everybody else. I stayed behind. There was a brief moment of silence before he started up again. Once everyone was gone, I went to your house. I went to your room. And I found your diary. I read what you really think about me. He started to float closer to her. She started floating back.

      Umbra, just wait a second, Katy said. An ashamed look fell upon her face. She knew exactly what Umbra meant, but wouldn't admit it. I'm still confused about what your talking about. I like you. A lot.

      Stop with the lies! He shouted. You think I'm weak. You think I'm a wimp. But let me tell you, I'm the complete opposite. A purple mist started forming around Umbra's hands. It traveled up to his elbows. His red necklace started to glow. That night everyone left, I fought something that shouldn't be real. Something that is found in myths and movies.

      Katy was still very confused on the whole situation. Umbra, what are you talking about?

      I fought a monster! He yelled out. I fought a monster and you know what. I won! I fought a monster and I won! And the best part was, I didn't need anyone's help. Not even from your boyfriend.

      That's a lie! A voice that was not Katy's yelled out. Umbra was shocked
