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.
This is the Prolouge of ATA. Help make the story.FFFFFF

FFFFFF
Reuben walked mindlessly down Doil Street. It seemed like it was going for hours until his feet slipped at the edge of a long dark pit. He caught himself and slowly pushed himself up before looking at a circle of shadows around him. He was trapped. "Fuck me...." He unsheathed his sword, crossed his heart, and slashed at the front row when they all jumped him at once. His sword would pick out of the writhing pile to strike shadows, but he couldn't survive for long.

OOC: DADADADAAAAAAAAAAA
IC: A scythe sliced the air. Amethyst had cut through a few shadows when they were preoccupied. Her unusual silence came in handy. But she had caught the attention of some and the lunged at her dress, tearing at the bottom of it. Amethyst swung her scythe and it caught them in its wake. Amethyst hurried to get to Reuben.

"A-amethyst?" He called out, slashing outwards in desperation. He was being pulled into the pile, but it seemed to grow smaller and smaller with each swipe.

Amethyst smiled and slashed out at the shadows. Their claws dug into her arms but she didn't notice much.

He finally broke free and stabbed at the shadows clawing at his ankles. He slashed at all of the shadows jumping on him.

Amethyst sliced at the last of the shadows in front of her and went over to where Reuben was.

OOC: Are they all dead now?
IC: Reuben walked up to Amethyst. "Good thing you came." He said in his own form of "thank you."

OOC: I guess..? :D
IC: Amethyst nodded her "you're welcome" and turned to look at the mass of shadow bodies. Jesus... she thought.

Reuben grimaced at all of the bodies. One tried to reform before it was quickly put back down by a well aimed lunge.

Amethyst cocked her head at them all and looked down at her feet to see a like baby lesser shadow. Her heart jumped and she scooped it up in her arms.

Re: FFFFFF
Reuben looked at the shadow oddly but didn't move. Before the apocolypse he was able to tame animals, why not shadows? He kept his hand on the hilt just in case.
OOC: Baby Shadow :D

Amethyst smiled down at the baby shadow. It was cute. She'd never seen the baby's before. She looked over at Reuben.

Reuben looked on with affectionate eyes. He let go of his sword and outstretched his hand to the shadow.

Re: FFFFFF
The small shadow winced at Reuben's motions. Amethyst made a silent laugh and handed the small shadow over. She trusted Reuben not to kill it.

Reuben cradled the shadow like a kitten and started to slowly pet it. He smiled at the overwhelimg cuteness of the baby.

Amethyst looked down at the shadow. They weren't so bad when they were babies.

Re: FFFFFF
He handed the shadow back to Amethyst. He looked at the ground, to see where all the shadows were. Would it become a monster just like these? He couldn't find the heart to kill it, so he let the question drift off to the back of his mind.

Re: FFFFFF
Amethyst cuddled the small shadow. She decided she was going to keep it. Maybe she could train it to become less blood thirsty.

"Shall we?" He gestured down the road and cleared a path through all the dead bodies.

Amethyst nodded and followed him. The shadow stayed curled in her arms.

Soon they were near the Wal-Mart. He wondered how the other would react.

Re: FFFFFF
Loki was surprised when he walked outside to see Reuben holding a shadow. "Umm.....hi." he said, shocked.
Re: FFFFFF
OOC: Amethyst is holding it O_o
IC: Amethyst moved the shadow around so she could free one hand to wave.

"Hey Loki." He acted as if nothing was out of place.

Loki was silent, before adding. "What...exactly is that..?" he seemed pretty fearful, but hid it.
