Conley Brothers

Star smiled, not fully understanding the significance but he did appreciate it "yes..I think..maybe visiting sometimes will help him to get more used to people and help give him courage" he said
 
He smiled "that is good yes!" He agreed "but we start slow and always wait to see of he is ok for visits"
 
Star shrugged "maybe sleep for a little....too loud all day for me to sleep" he explained "and Vlad said we can work on my little sleep wagon tonight too. You want to help with it?"
 
"Okay! We can do that," the twins agreed and started skipping away. "Lets go fix a wagon!"

Vlad had rid himself of Kazimir for a time and had already gone ahead to look over the wagon.
 
Star smiled and happily went along with them, watching how they skipped, he tried to mimic them but ended up tripping over his feet that were a bit too big for him, not unlike a puppy
 
The twins giggled and caught his arms to help him before he fell then each held a hand as they walked the rest of the way.
 
Star smiled when the continued to hold his hands, made him feel even more special as he walked with them, his tail swayed happily
 
When they arrived, Vlad had already removed the old pieces and was comparing new pieces to see what was the closest fit.

"We are here!" the twins chirped.
 
All seemed quiet and well as the group happily worked together and others mingled and laughed, same drank. Others retired early... it was a calm night after a long day.

It was the dead of night when Star started shaking Vlads shoulder "Vlad Vlad! Wake!" His voice was scared and frantic
 
"Star? What's wrong? What's the matter?" Vlad demanded as he sat up, trying to wake himself. His brain was thoroughly addled.
 
Star pointed outside "dunkle Leute!" He said urgently, forgetting to translate for himself "dunkle Menschen tun weh!" He tugged on Vlads arm, clearly scared by something
 
Vlad's lips moved as he tried to dig through dusty memories to his very basic German knowledge. And completely failed. "Hurt?" he asked, vaguely recognizing one word. He slid out of bed, trying not to wake the twins. "Who is hurt? Where?"
 
Star pointed out tue window again "dark people hurt" he said, tugging him into some shadows with him before he stepped through them with Vlad, not giving much warning.

The next moment they were outside behind Adanyas wagon.

She was laying on the ground, breathing? But blood trickled from her ears and nose, Chib was a few feet away in a similar state, a sword made of ice held loose in his unconscious hand, blood tipped tje blade though neither of them were cut
 
Vlad falered a little, caught off guard by Star's sudden usage of the shadows. Then he caught sight of Adanya and Chib and stiffened. "Starnacht, hide," he said shortly. He dug into his pocket until he found a small pouch. He pulled it out, opened it, and pulled out a small amount of gold powder. He flung it into the air, and it lit up like a brilliant glitter storm that illuminated every shadow behind the wagon.

Star quickly scrambled under a wagon to watch from there.

As he lit up the darkness, there was a shadowy figure briefly visible before it fled into the safety of night, abandoning the two victims but leaving a trail of blood. Before he lit up the area, there was no sign of a third person there
 
Vlad caught a glimse of the shadowy figure but did not chase it. He waited a moment to ensure everything was safe then stepped forward. "Starnacht, I need you to go as quick as you can. First go and wake up Kazimir and tell him where find me. Then go to Camilla and wake her up. Be very careful and move fast. Take care of the shadows. Whatever did this hides in them."

Vlad knelt between Adanya and Chib and tried to see which was more damaged. He wanted to chase after the shadow, but this was more important. And where was Keith when he was actually needed for once??
 
Star nodded qnd quickly stepped through back into shadows and came back to Kaz and shook him "Kaz! Kaz must wake!" He was still scared but wanted to help
