Vorwort: Der Oneshot spielt einige Zeit nach dem ende von Band drei, in dem der Schattige von Red in den Zoo gelassen wird. Ihr braucht die Bücher nicht gelesen haben um den Oneshot zu verstehen. 

As Solana opens her eyes, theres nothing around her but darkness. Deep, heavy darkness that seems to crush her. Takes a breath and pain exlodes in her chest. Pretty sure, one of her ribs is broken. Why was she even here? What happened? She turns, until she lies on her back. Nothing but darkness above her. No stars, no light, just darkness. 

Well, well waht do we have here?  I can't believe it. Are you scared? Is the mighty Solana, one of the best descenders of the magic Zoo scared of the darkness?  

The Voice, his Voice is sending shivers down her spine, even though its just a faded memory. The Voice is one of the only things she remembers. The Voice, along with the shadows growing larger and larger, screams in the distance and her not beeing able to move, her brain trying to realise wahts happening. And then there's nothing. 

Solana tries to listen, but theres just silence. Silence and darkness. The only thing that gives her a slight hint of where she is, is the asphalt, that she feels, as she slides fingern above the ground. That excludes the most scary option, the dark lands. But that still isn't a big reliev. Wich place could be so dark, so silent? 

She has no Idea of how much time passed, while she was staring at the black void over her. "Imma go mad in here if I dont do something" she tells her herselve and ignoring the fear and pain slowly gets up. She feels dizzy and out of breath, like not breathing air. Very slowly, she does on step. The sound seems to get swallowed by the darkness immediately. Seh does another step. And another. And another. 

After a time, that feels like eternity, her food hits something. Somehting soft and stable at the same time, like a human body. Solana screams in schock, but her scream dissapears in the darkness. Here hands are shaking and her breath goes fast and hectic, but she concentrates and tries to shift. She doesnt really beliv it will work, but after some time, she feels the well known heat, at the parts were the velvet is seewed onto her clothes. Sharp, thin spikes shoot through the tiny holes in her clothes. The longest ones are on her Hands, almost at the hight of her knee, when she relaxes her arm. Using her Magic Powers never really consumed Energy from her. But this time it feels, like something is fighting them, trying to force the spikes back to were they came from. After a second, Solana realizes why. Her Spikes are glowing. They were driving away the darkness, not much but it was enough to finally see the thing in front of her. 

Soft, dark brown hair, tan skin,  a black leather Jacket. But the weirdest thing: Wings, connected to muscular Arms. The Feathers used to be silver and shiny, but now theyre dark grey, as if their light went out. Theres no doubt, the person that lies in front of Solana, hopefully just unconscious, is Sam. One of her friends. If he's here, than the others must be too, Solana thinks, as she bends down to check his pulse. Its there. Steady and strong. 

Solana lets out a sigh of reliev and gently shakes his shoulder, trying to wake him up. 

His eyelids flutter and his wings start to glow weakly. Then he opens his eyes. 

AN: Wenn ich Lust krieg schrieb ich mal hieran weiter, im Moment belass ich es einfach dabei. Warum ist das ganze auf Englisch? Kein Plan, hatte Bock drauf.
