Narrator's POV... (And by that I mean mine :P)

The night had gone pretty well, everyone seemed to have a good time and ate until they could eat no more. The forest was calm but dark, causing some uneasiness to surround the group of individuals. The tree only had limited shelter so most of the superheroes had to make do with what they had. All was silent and all were asleep. Well, other than Violet and the other 'person' none seemed to know about. The unknown stranger kept a keen eye on all of them, but particularly Violet as she was closest to her out of all of them and yes... the villain to this story is female.

Ever since she was a kid Penelope hid in the shadows. All day every day. She was like that one background character in a TV show that everyone payed no attention to and if they did, they most certainly didn't like her. She was neglected at the age of one and had to fend for herself, learning the hard way on what to do and what not to do. She survived though, never giving up. Well, apart from that one day...

A mysterious man with nothing better to do found her in the forest one day, hiding in a bush. To the naked eye no one would even notice she was there, but to him it was a bit too obvious. He walked up to her knowing full well she was only a child. Kneeling down he touched her shoulder gently making her jump slightly. She couldn't see his face since it was covered but somehow she knew that he was smiling. They talked for hours on end and honestly, little Penelope had never felt better. She was no longer that one character everybody ignored.

When the time had come for the strange man to leave she instantly felt a pain in her heart. She felt neglected and weak. She beckoned for him to come back and offered to let him stay for a little longer but he harshly neglected her offer. Yet... He did help her with one thing.

Days later Penelope was suffering. Not from loss but from pain. Her muscles felt like they were non existent and her eyes seemed to change darker shades depending on where she was. After a while people actually didn't know where she was. Not that they wanted to anyway. She could camouflage into any place, anywhere, any time. And not just camouflage. Oh no, not just that. She could actually disappear. Hide in the shadows. Become one with the shadows. Become a shadow.

Without knowing it, that strange man had actually granted her powers. Powers she didn't understand but ones that she accepted. For the next few years she found herself to be almost invincible. People couldn't hurt her. Cause damage to her. She was practically immortal. Day b dad she grew stronger. But with that her powers became more and more uncontrollable. But, she didn't mind.

She started causing havoc knowing full well the consequences of her actions. Soon enough all knew who she was. But she didn't like it. Poor Penelope was never satisfied. So... She went to the forest where no one knew who she was. Nobody. Well, until a group of teenagers set foot in there anyway.
