False Utopia: Whispers in the Dark

Prologue: A lurking shadow
It was dark, and the area was still. That was about to change however. A rustling sound was heard. It was a pair hikers. They were babbling on about something of little importance, completely unaware of what was up ahead. Before either of them knew it, they had been tackled to the ground by a small figure. There was a chuckle.

"She's the most innocent one of us all, yet she's the quickest to move in for the kill." It was a male voice.

Another male emerged, though he was shadowed over by a large tree, he was carrying what appeared to be a body. "Yes, that's always been something strange about her."

The hikers were attempting to fight their assailant off, but it was to no avail. The girl bit down into one of their necks, and he was silenced. The second hiker was shocked at this, and couldn't move. She did however, let out a scream as the girl moved in on her. As the girl stepped away from the bodies, they rolled down the hill, and she placed a hand to her cheek, wiping something from it. She walked next to the second shadow, and he placed a hand on her head affectionately.

"Now that our feeding has been taken care of, you all know why we're here." He said, his voice soft and yet it carried.

A third voice spoke up. "We know why were here, Sesshōmaru." This one sounded young, about as young as the girl who had attacked the hikers. "Just get on with it."

The first male shadow spoke up again. "You're as impatient as always. Let Sesshōmaru finish speaking, and the you can complain as you please."

Another voice, a little girl, spoke up as her shadow jumped from a tree. "Why let him complain at all?" Her voice was spiked with an innocent, bell-like tone. "He needs to learn to hold his tongue."

Before anyone else could respond, the shadow that had been called Sesshōmaru cleared his throat as he threw the body he was carrying aside. "Now now. I don't mind interruptions, but as I was saying. You all know why were here and you know our long term objective. But first we need to spread out. Search for the silver-haired child." The moon came out from behind the clouds and shined down on Sesshōmary. His face was hidden behind a hood, but his smile radiated from him.

"Now go."

"Hai!" They all spoke in unison as they spread out.

"The time has come to put our plan into motion."

Winds of a new beginning blow
The sun crept through the window, and hit the face of a young, red-haired girl who was sleeping soundly. The moment the light hit her eyes, she began to stir. After a moment, she sat up, yawning.

"Mornin' already?" She said thickly. "I should have gone to bed earlier.." She got up out of her bed, and yawned again. She was not a morning person. Not immediately anyway. After getting into proper clothing and splashing cold water on her face, she jumped onto the stair rail and slid down.

"Ohayō!" She called out cheerfully as she landed neatly on the mat at the bottom of the stairs and walked into the kitchen.
