The Coldblooded Girl
The first Encounter
It was a normal morning like always...
butler:
Lady Shadow, please go down to eat breakfast with master.
Shadow Night
Wait for a second, would you?!
Shadow Night
I'm getting dressed!
butler:
You can't go down wearing this, my lady!
Shadow left the room and walked down the stairs into the dining room.
Luca Night (dad)
There you are, finally!
Luca Night was a rich man in the parlement. He was known as heartless and often fired people.
Luca Night (dad)
Your sister was here half an hour ago!
The Night family adopted Shadow when she was young, and now they obviously regret it.
Ryli Night (sister)
Father, don't care about this b*tch, soon we will get rid of her.
Ryli Night was a lot like her father. She didn't care about others feelings and would take over his place in the parlament when he retires.
Shadow Night
How did this dog get in here?
Ryli Night (sister)
You....
Veronica Night (mom)
Shadow, you will go with us to a party tonight. Wear cloths please, not this garbage, and behave. If not, you're grounded for two years.
Veronica Night loves her money more than anything. She gets angry fast and hates it when she isn't on the front page of VOGUE. She is a model after all.
Ryli Night (sister)
But mother! Before you said it would be four years!
Veronica Night (mom)
Oh, sorry honey. Let me correct myself, you will be grounded four years.
Shadow Night
Tsk, tsk, tsk....
Shadow Night
Are you trying to marry me off again? Well I have to go into the city and meet Nina.
Shadow Night
Bye! And could someone throw the dog out please?!
Ryli Night (sister)
YOU B*TCH! I HATE YOU!
Shadow quickly left the room, she would just eat breakfast in the city.
While she was looking for Nina, someone knocked into her und she fell to the ground.
Leng Shizhen is a rich and powerful CEO. He's also friends with basically all underground bosses.
Leng Shizhen
Pay attention, would you?!
Shadow Night
You pushed me to the ground assh*le.
Leng Shizhen
I'm Leng Shizhen, how dare you insult me!
Shadow Night
Well, then I will take my leave first. Bye.
Leng Shizhen
Hey! Someone catch that girl!
They didn't know Shadow had a black belt in Karate and that she knew how to escape from people.
Soon she didn't see anyone following her anymore and slowed down. Then she saw Nina.
Shadow Night
Nina! Finally I found you!
Nina Fu
I saw you had a fight with Leng Shizhen.
Nina Fu also belongs to a rich and mighty family but other than the Night family. They aren't snobbish. Shadow and Nina met at a party three years ago.
Shadow Night
Yeah, he pushed me to the ground.
Nina Fu
And you insulted him then!
Nina Fu
Girl, you are the most searched person in XXX right now!
Nina Fu
Did you forget that he's friends with the underground bosses everywhere here!
Shadow Night
I'll go home until it calms down.
Nina Fu
Call me when you arrive!
Shadow Night
Ok, bye! Sorry it didn't work out today!
Shadow Night
And I thought normally my life was wierd, but this day is crazy and its still morning.
She entered the house and wanted to immediatly go in her room, but Veronica stopped her.
Veronica Night (mom)
You can stay here. We are going shopping, you can pick a dress for tonight.
Veronica Night (mom)
Ryli and Kiki are coming too.
Kiki Shizhen is the sister of Leng Shizhen, she's Ryli's best friend, but she is actually nice to Shadow.
Shadow Night
I'll just hope they don't find me.
Veronica Night (mom)
What did you say?
Shadow Night
Nothing for you to hear or I would have said it aloud.
Veronica Night (mom)
Hmfph!
Then Ryli and Kiki walk towards through the room.
Ryli Night (sister)
Can we go then?
Shopping with the Enemy
Shadow hated shopping. Even more than she hated roses.
Roses reminded her of her mothers grave. She had accidentally found it while lost at a graveyard. A lot of people had put roses there.
Shadow Night
Do we have to be here Veronica?
Veronica Night (mom)
Don't call me by my first name! Call me mother, or you will bring shame among our family!
No one knew that Shadow wasn't their real daughter, only Kiki and Nina.
Shadow Night
All right, "mother".
Veronica Night (mom)
Hmfph.
Kiki Shizhen
I think I found the right dress for tonight!
Ryli Night (sister)
You look wonderful, I'm taking this one, what do you think?
Ryli Night (sister)
Or should I take this one:
Veronica Night (mom)
You look like a princess in both my dear.
Kiki Shizhen
Yes, why don't buy both? For tonight I would say you wear the second one, it makes you stand out more!
Ryli Night (sister)
Good! What are you taking, mother?
Veronica Night (mom)
Me? Well I think this one is quite beatiful...
Ryli Night (sister)
Nice choice!
Veronica Night (mom)
Shadow what were you thinking?
Shadow Night
Well I like these three, they aren't too... you know.
Veronica Night (mom)
But... they are all black!
Veronica Night (mom)
You look like you are attending a funeral!
Shadow Night
Hmmm, I really don't which one to take...
Veronica Night (mom)
But Shadow! What will they think of you?!
Ryli Night (sister)
Mom! Wait a second!
Ryli Night (sister)
"whispers"
Veronica Night (mom)
Oh... yes! Ok you may have them!
Veronica Night (mom)
Yes, yes! They are... actally really... nice.
Shadow Night
Well, thank you...
Veronica Night (mom)
Shall we look for accessories?
Ryli nods and pulls Kiki into a jewelry store while Veronica commands her assisstant to pack all the dresses and bring them to the car.
Shadow follows Ryli and Kiki, maybe she can find something that will really frak out any guy to stay away from her.
Then she finds something really spooky and totally her thing.
Veronica Night (mom)
Shadow! Did you find something yet?
Shadow Night
Can I have this?
Veronica Night (mom)
Oh... uhhh... yes, you can have it. What does it cost?
Shadow Night
It's 9.000 $.
Veronica Night (mom)
Okay.
Shadow Night
Wait sorry, it was 99.000.
Veronica Night (mom)
O...okay...
Veronica Night (mom)
Thats fine...
Shadow Night
Ok, thanks mother.
Soon after, they left the mall and took the limousine back to the Night Mansion. Kiki and Ryli talked about the jewelry.
Ryli Night (sister)
Do you think the "Silver Moon" is more pretty than the "Gold Swan"?
Kiki Shizhen
It's definetly more expensive, even though the "Gold Swan" isn't the cheapest either...
Kiki Shizhen
Shadow I heard you bought the "Jade Scorpion" today.
Kiki Shizhen
Yes, its number 10 in the rank of the most unique rings in the world.
Kiki Shizhen
They say there are only 5 of its kind.
Ryli Night (sister)
Yes, really, you idiot. This is common knowledge.
Shadow Night
Whatever you say Ry-ry.
Ryli Night (sister)
Don't call me that!
Then they reached the mansion. It took a while until all the dresses were brought to the rooms, Shadow wanted to at least take the ring up, but the maids gasped and almost ripped it out of her hands.
maid:
You are going to break it, my lady! Let us do it.
Shadow Night
It's not that easy to break!
maid:
My lady, everything is easy to break. My mother used to say that...
Shadow Night
Fine, take it up.
The maid held the ring as if it were priceless and marched to the room. Shadow followed her silently, trying not too laugh.
Kiki decided with Ryli that they would have a sleep-over after the party, and Veronica happily "cooked" the best foods for them. "So that they wouldn't eat that much at the party, that's inappropriate." She had said.
Veronica Night (mom)
Maids! I want the roast turkey with lemon finished in an hour!
Veronica Night (mom)
You! Start making the dessert!
Ryli Night (sister)
Thank you mother for your concern.
Veronica Night (mom)
Anthing for my beloved daughter.
Ryli Night (sister)
Aren't you a little tired from all this work? Go and take a nap.
Veronica Night (mom)
Thank you for caring for me.
Shadow Night
I could throw up from so much fake love.
Ryli Night (sister)
Dare to repeat that?!
Shadow Night
Oh dear?! You must have become deaf! You poor thing!
Ryli Night (sister)
You...
Kiki Shizhen
Ryli?! I finshed the call to my brother! Ard you coming back upstairs?!
Ryli Night (sister)
Yes! The party starts at 5 o'clock doesn't it?!
Ryli Night (sister)
Than we must hurry and get ready! It's already 2 o'clock!
Dancing with the Devil
Ryli and Kiki let maids make them beautiful hairstyles for the party. They ate during the progress.
maid:
Lady Shadow... Could we please make you a hairstyle? We'll be quick, we can also only braid your hair or...
Shadow Night
No. I already combed my hair, thats enough.
maid:
But what will the other guests think of you?! They will think low of you!
Shadow Night
It's not like I want to become BFFs with all of them. Please, go do skmething that you would like to do, I am fine right now.
maid:
Thank you, my lady! Please overthink it though! You can always find me in the garden!
The maid wuickly left the room and silently closed the door behind herself. Shadow looked at herself in the mirror.
Shadow Night
I look fine, there is no need to fancy up for a party.
Then Kiki opened the door and stuck her head inside.
Kiki Shizhen
Shadow? How do I look?
Shadow Night
Looks good! I like the necklace, it matches to your dress.
Shadow Night
But why did you put in a fake blue contact lense?
Kiki Shizhen
I thought it makes me look fancier. I don't know.
Kiki Shizhen
The maids keep telling me to not move too much. They would stick me too a chair if they could.
Kiki Shizhen
"It could ruin my hair. Oh no, my life depends on my hair!"
She sarcastically acted frightend and then laughed. Shadow grinned.
Shadow Night
Yeah, it's....
Ryli Night (sister)
KIKI! Does my hair look good?!
Kiki Shizhen
Duty calls, see you later!
Kiki Shizhen
And, wear the third dress, it fits you!
Kiki Shizhen
Uh, yes! Bye!
Her head disappeared and Shadow heard her hurrying down the hallway with her high heals.
Shadow smirked, she liked Kiki, but she should get an own life, she was always running after Ryli, saving her from every embarressing thing in her life. Once she even took her own dress off because Rylis had ripped, so that Ryli could wear it.
Shadow Night
Well then, I have to get dressed...
maid:
Guys! We are allowed to help Lady Shadow!
Shadow Night
Sh*t, they are so annoying.
When they were finally finished, Shadow didn't even recognize herself. The person in the mirror looked like a snobbish, mean and rich Daughter.
Shadow Night
I look like Ryli.
maid:
Yes, you are so right. You are so alike!
Shadow Night
Horrible. I think I have to throw up.
Shadow Night
Thanks for caring for me, but...
maid:
You are going to ruin the dress!
Shadow Night
I knew it. It was too good to be true.
Veronica Night (mom)
Girls! We have to go!
Shadow Night
Yeah, I'll be down in a sec.
Ryli Night (sister)
Coming dear mother, they shouldn't have to wait for us.
They took the most expensive limosine. Obviously, something important was going to happen. Veronica didn't even mention that Shadow was wearing the skorpion and the dress with the most black.
When they got there, the party had already started. Veronica sent someone to tell the people inside that they were there.
Ryli Night (sister)
Mother, let's go in.
Veronica Night (mom)
Yes, yes. Come on.
They entered, Ryli, Kiki and Veronica waved and smiled. Shadow just walked past and glared at the people that greeted her.
But then she bumped jnto someone. Sh*t, it was that guy from this morning.
Leng Shizhen
I didn't think we would meet again so soon.
Shadow Night
Oh no, not this a**hole again.
Leng Shizhen
You look as if you were going to a funeral.
Shadow Night
Of course, a few dogs died this morning.
Veronica Night (mom)
Mr Shizhen! I see you have already met my daughter Shadow!
Ryli Night (sister)
Hi... Mr Shizhen...
Leng Shizhen
Your name matches you.
Shadow Night
Of course, I'm actually a murderer that has come back to life. Bye!
Veronica Night (mom)
Sorry, my daughter is a little psychopath.
Ryli Night (sister)
Mother, she is my sister!
Shadow Night
Oh, they are playing the good guy, bad guy game. Well I can play this game too.
Leng Shizhen
You and your sister are like an angel and a devil. Your hair also states thd fact.
Ryli Night (sister)
Oh, Mr Shizhen, you're too kind to me.
Shadow Night
Sister, can I use your hair dye tommorrow? I just remembered, you can continue talking in a moment.
Ryli Night (sister)
Sure... Sister...
Ryli clenched her teeth together and forced herself to a smile.
Leng Shizhen
Excuse me, may I have this dance?
Ryli Night (sister)
Sure...
Shadow Night
Oh no. Why me?
Veronica Night (mom)
Shadow! Be polite!
Shadow Night
You aren't my mother, you have nothing to say to me.
Veronica Night (mom)
Shadow...
Shadow Night
Fine I'll dance.
Shadow Night
But I want a million.
Veronica Night (mom)
Fine.
Leng pulled Shadow into the middle of the room and gave someone sign. All of a sudden he grabbed Shadows waist and before she could react, he kisssed her.
