14-year old Seth runs away, after a heated argument with his family. Not accepted in it anymore, because of his Shadow Charmer ability, everyone feels releaved he's gone. But when a demon breaks into Fablehaven searching for him, telling it would stop at nothing to kill the boy, they start realizing their mistake. Will they let the hatered between faries and dark creatures stop them, or will they try to save Seth, who's nowhere to be found?

"... not fair!" Seth shouted, anger growing inside him. They had been arguing for fifteen minutes, and Seth's voice was getting hoarse, but he didn't stop. " You never let me go on missions with the other Knights! You never let me hear anything special or important!"

" Seth Michael Sorenson! You do not speak to us like that!" Mr. Sorenson practicly screamed at his son.

" Why? Because it's not fair? So pushing me out of the family is fair then?"

That's when Warren stood up from the couch, and faces the family.

" I think we should just calm down, and-"

" He's a danger to the creatures, Warren! " Grandpa blurted. " He's a danger to US! To Kendra!"

" You think I would harm my own sister?" Seth askel, not believing what he was hearing. Kendra and Bracken were officially dating, and were eating at a fancy restaurant today.

" Its only a matter of time before you do! Seth you are a Shadow Charmer! No matter what you say or do, you are evil! All Shadow Charmer are!"

Seth was shocked. He couldn't believe it was his grandfather saying this. But what hurt him more, was that he saw his parents' nodding in agreement.

" You too? My own parents?" He asked from them.

" We didn't ask for you, as a son! We wanted someone like Kendra! Good and caring... Not someone like you!"

The only person in the room, who looked suprised, was Warren. The young man was staring at the Sorensons, his mouth hanging open. But the last comment had had hit Seth so hard, he didn't even notice.

He was noddind slowly, his eyes on the people sitting in the living room.

" Well, I'm sorry I caused you such a pain." And with that he stormed up the stairs into the attic, banging the door closed after him.

Tears were running down his eyes, as he started pulling clothes out of the closet, and shoving them into a black backpack. How could his family say that? After all he had done?

Sure, being a Shadow Charmer was cool, but... if this was what came from it...

He heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and quickly locked the door.

" Seth? Are you in there?" It was Warren. The doorknob turned, but woulden't open. " Seth, please open the door."

His cousin's voice was soft and patient. But Seth couldn't bring himself to open the door. The closed the backpack, now full of blankets and clothes, and threw it onto his back. Then he quickly opened the drawer next to his bed and pulled out a paper and a pencil.

After ignoring Warren's many calls, he finished the note, and hid it underneath his pillow. Then he silently opened the window, and climbed outside.

The evening air was cold, but refreshing. Wiping away the salty drops, Seth climbed onto the roof, and started making his way down. He grabbed the vines, that were zig-zagging across the white walls of the house, and used them to get himself down.

Once his legs touched the wet earth, he started running away from the house, his family's words aching in his heart. Without even turning to look back, he ran to the gates of Fablehaven, pushed them open and ran into the darkness.
