ATA-How it Happened
It was 2017. The Moon suddenly left it's orbit, and the Earth was a dark cold place. Millions caught disease from the cold and darkness, many became crazy and committed suicide, and many were killed by other things. Shadows. Shadows were wiped out when the Moon first appeared, after a meteor struck Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon kept them away. Though, as the moon suddenly disappeared from the orbit, the shadows once again appeared, and killed off most of the disease survivors. Now, only about 8,000 people live in the world, and there is a popular group of rebel survivors in New York City. These survivors are the closest in the world to the Shadow Fortress, and are the only ones that can save the human race from becoming completely extinct.

Feeling Reckless
The light had already gone from the sky, twilight past. Shadows were beginning to awaken and wander, although most avoided the old cemetery. In the center sat a girl with blonde hair, her green eyes closed, her legs crossed, sitting on the cold, hard ground. It was nearly pitch-black, except for a streetlight that stood at least a hundred yards away, flickering feebly.
Tears slid down Melody's cheeks as she mumbled under her breath. She sat in front of a sad, makeshift tombstone. This was the grave of Sorren.

Hurriedly, she stopped muttering and whiped her eyes dry, although they kept getting watery.
"Yes?" she whispered back, not looking up from her hands in her lap.

"Just. . you know, remembering," Melody muttered, still not looking up. She hiccuped.

"Old times," she breathed, hardly daring to move. Tears leaked again, but stubborn as ever, Melody wiped them away again.

Ari stared at her silently, before sighing. "Do you still hate me?" he whispered.
Re: Feeling Reckless
Melody glanced over at him.
"Hate is a strong word," she said evasively, avoiding the question.

The breath escaped her body. As she tried to get it back, Melody thought.
"I don't know," she muttered finally.

"Alright then. Hate it is." Ari sighed. His hood clouded half of his face, even as he layed down.
Re: Feeling Reckless
"No, it's not hate!" Melody argued. "I'm just. . hurt, and confused, okay? This happened so shortly after. . you know." More tears came out. It started to sprinkle lightly. Her blonde hair, still swept into a ponytail, started getting wavy from the wet.

"After what?" Ari asked. "You will never feel better unless you let out the anger inside of you."
Re: Feeling Reckless
"After Sorren died!" Melody cried, louder than she had meant it to be. She drew her knees up again, as she so often did, so she was hugging them to her chest. "It's just not fair." Once she had said it, she wondered why she had.

Looking down at him, Melody took in a shaky breath.
"Well, he was pretty reckless," she started, a small smile coming to her face. "He was handsome. And he had a lot of life left."

Melody nodded, wiping away more tears.
"He was the only person I could really talk to," she said. The rain started coming down harder.

"Oh?" Ari sat up. "You don't feel you can talk to me? Just because this all happened doesn't mean we can't be friends."
Re: Feeling Reckless
Melody turned to look at him, her eyes narrowed. However, her expression softened at his words.
"I'm not mad at you so much as Annabelle," she admitted, digging in the dirt with a small stick she had found.

"She and Cloud had something," Melody said. She stabbed the stick into the ground viciously. "He lost a good friend because of their love. He died. And what does she do?" She snorted, shaking her head.

"She broke up with him a week before his death." Ari argued. "She ended up hating him. He died about a week ago. Basically, that gave her two weeks. More than enough time to completely move on."
Re: Feeling Reckless
Melody turned away from Ari.
"Fine," she snapped. "Then I'll just. . hate you." She nearly had to choke out the words, and she knew she never could.
