I stared down at the paper, a pencil in my mouth. I took the next four measurements on 20 scale and jotted them down. I smiled, spitting the pencil out and danced over to the 18x24 graph paper. I turned up my stereo some as I danced by when 'In the shadows' by the Rasmus came on. The sun shone in through the open window wit ha nice fall breeze coming in. As I began drawing the measurements, I sang the chorus. " 'I've been watching, I've been waiting, in the shadows for my time. I've been searching, I've been living, for tomorrow all my life. In the shadows." I finished the measurements and turned around to go and get the next measurements.
"I didn't know you could sing." I jumped some, looking over at the window. I heaved a sighed, putting my pencil behind my ear. "What the hell are you doing here Sylar?" I asked. He sat on my window sill, eating a apple. He looked around my room, taking a bite of the apple. "Wow, you have a big room. Aren't teenagers suppose to be messy?" He asked, looking at me with raised eyebrows. I shook my head some. It's been awhile since I've seen him. I noticed his long, pulled back hair and nice suit he wore. . . Weird. "Whatcha working on?" I blinked some, seeing he wasn't on the sill anymore, but looking at the drawing I was doing. I walked over, pushing him away from it. "It's for landscape and design. No leave before-"
"No ones home. No one is ever home." He said seriously, looking down at me. I froze at that, my eye twitched some. He smirked, his dark eyes shining. "Stop pretending to be normal. You are anything but." He stepped close to me, putting his hand on my cheek. "I know you hate being alone. Come with me. I've changed." I closed my eyes enjoying his touch, then opened them and pushed him back. "I'm sure." he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I've found out I'm adopted. I'm a petreile." My eyes went wide at that. "You mean Peter is you're brother?" I asked. He nodded. "Mother wants me to get better, to stop being a killer. I'm working with the company now. I'm Bennett's partner." I gave him a look,thinking of something in my mind.
"You need to stay away from them Sylar." He gave me a curioes look. "I'm serioues. I know who you speak of and she is only going to use you." He froze, then glared at me. "You're just jelouse I get to see my mom." Now it was my turn to freeze. I clenched my jaw and tighted my fists.
He sighed, taking a step to me. "I'm sorry, I'm just touchy on the parents subject." I turned around and shut the stereo off, keeping my back to him. "She is manipulating you because of that issue. But don't believe me. You'll just get hurt in the end." I trained my hearing and heard him sigh, then walk to the window and stop. "You don't have to be alone just because you think you deserve it." Then he left.
I sighed some walking over to a chair and sitting down in it. Why is it that that man could affect me so much?

"Wow. You're really good." I shot around seeing Bennett in my doorway with a gun pointed at me. I growled, letting my eyes go yellow. "I'm not afraid of you or the cat." I laughed. "Wow, you guys really did miss a lot. My animal isn't a cat." I smiled, showing him my sharp loaded his gun. "Doesn't matter what you are. Sylar lead me right to you." I growled again. My eyes dashed to the window, then back to him. "Don't even thin-" It was too late. I jumped and transformed into my animal. I was just able to get through the window as so I could transform all of the way.
Gun shots rang around me and I twirled, flapping my large, black wings. I dove down to the ground, eyes going wide as I saw a chick. She smirked, holding her hand out and shooting lightning at me. A lot of it. I roared, falling to the ground and sliding some, 'causing dirt to go everywhere. I whimpered some, then turned back int oa human, my clothes being excessively baggy.
"Hm. I'm surprised you got her." Bennett said. I was fading out quickly. "Well she wasn't exactly easy to miss." The chicka said. I went to get up but she zapped my back 'causing me to go back to the ground. "I must say, out of all the animals I never expected hers to be a Dragon." I fadded out after that.
