Chapter 1: The Visit: Bluebell's POV:
I was looking in the bathroom mirror, staring at my face. I was going to visit my best friend, Julian. We hadn't seen each other for 50 years. I had to move to the North side of the Shadow World with my parents, while Julian had to stay on the South. We still kept in touch, despite the move. I realized I loved him last night. He was talking to me on the phone. It was how my body reacted to his voice. After I realized I loved him, I decided to visit him today and my dreams were filled with Julian all night long.
Now that I finished packing, I was fixing my hair and makeup. That brought us back to my examination of my face. My brown hair was in curls that cascaded down my waist. My pale eyes were blue; just like Julian's. And I had very, very pale skin. I got that from my mother.
My mother was a human and my father was a Shadow Man. They were madly in love. But it didn't end well. My mom divorced him when he changed into his 'true self' as the other Shadow Men put it. He was deformed. He had a horse's hoof for one hand and a pig's for the other. The same with the legs. He had no tail. Things just never last. But one thing that will always last is Julian and me. That will never dissipate like a snowflake on an ocean. I won't let it.
I decided I was ready to go travel to Julian's house. I went downstairs to tell my father goodbye before I left. Lucky for me, he was just sitting in a chair in front of the coffee table. When I came over, I saw he was staring at a picture of my mother and him at a fair on their second date. My mom had a big grin on her face as my dad was kissing her cheek. She was holding a big teddy bear he had won for her and she was blushing madly. Those looked like really good times, but I wouldn't know considering I never had a boyfriend and I'm not allowed to go on Earth at all. You would think that if I was 108 years old. I would be able to make my own decisions. Well, you would be wrong. I haven't transformed yet, making me one of the 'younger ones'. Julian is the youngest. He's 107. I'm always teasing him about how he's going to be the last one to transform but I'm actually sad that it's not me. I don't want to turn into a hideous, deformed creature but I can't stop it. Even if I wanted to. If my dad was able to stop it, he would have stopped his transformation for he could be with mom. After 200 years he still can't get over her. Even if she's dead. When we went to her funeral 100 years ago, I was sad. Sure she left me with my father when she divorced him without saying goodbye, but she was still my mother.
I tapped his shoulder when I heard him sobbing. He looked at me and tried to hide his face by turning the other way. I turned his face around by his chin. "I know it's hard to forget about her, but you will feel better soon, if I have anything to do about it." "But Bell, how can I get better if you're leaving for a whole week? I can't live without both of my girls. I already lost one, I don't want to lose another. So tell me, how will I feel better?" I had tears in my eyes when he finished his speech. I knew he loved me but I didn't know he loved me that much. I didn't think he would ever be able to love anything after mom. "You are going to get better by not always looking for a picture of Mom when you grow bored. And if it helps, just call me on my cell. It's not that hard to make a phone call." I smiled weakly at him, hoping he would smile back. My hopes were not wasted, he smiled at me with hope in his eyes. He thought he would be in this depression forever. It agonized me to see him like that. I will do everything in my power to make him happy again.
I suddenly remember why I came downstairs in the first place, looking in his eyes. "Dad, I came down here to say goodbye. I was about to leave to go to Julian's." His face twisted with annoyance when I said "Julian". "So your still going to visit him, are you? Why?" Dad didn't like Julian. He thought he was a bad influence for me. If he didn't like him now, wait until he found out I loved him. He's going to be so mad. Too bad, he can't stand in the way of my love. I glared at him. " Yes, I am still going to visit Julian. I am going to visit him because he is my best friend and I haven't seen him for 50 years. Any other questions?," I said icily. He looked at me with surrender in his eyes. We were always fighting about how I spend so much of my free time talking to Julian. He doesn't understand. If he did, he would know I loved Julian by how my voice wrapped around his name like a caress. "No," he finally answered. I thought so, I thought to myself. "Goodbye, Dad." "Bye, Bell" We both had tears in our eyes and we hugged. We hugged for 5 minutes then we let go of each other. "Call me when you get there,"he said, his voice thick with tears. He wasn't the only one. "Of course I'll call you when I get to Julian's. I'm not stupid, you know." He smiled at me. "That's my girl." I turned and walked to the door. I turned the knob and walked to the middle of the sidewalk. Before I transported to Julian's house, I allowed myself to get one more glance at my father. I looked at him and smiled, adding a wave to the process. He waved back from the window. I turned back around and transported to Julian's house. It was a strange feeling to transport. My whole body was tingling. I didn't like the sensation that much, but it was better than walking 1,999 miles. The tingly feeling stopped. I was at Julian's house. It was just like I remembered it. It was beige and had big windows. It was very big. It was very outlandish. It was so Julian. He lived by himself considering he was created like all other Shadow Men were. I was only born because my mother was human. I was the only exception. I walked in. There was a huge widescreen TV. There were three couches. All of them were beige. I swear beige was his favorite color. His whole house was beige. The only thing that was not beige was the TV. I walked into Julian's bedroom and he wasn't there. I walked into his guest room and no one was there. When I looked into his kitchen, I saw….
