Continued off from last chapter.
Past Shadow's POV:
I ran until I couldn't run no more and looked at where I ended up. Not very far. San Antonio, Texas. Far to you, but when you ride on train cargo then it's fairly quick. I even managed to pick-pocket twenty bucks out of someone's wallet. Doubt he would even notice like the snakes that are on his phone. (Hermes.) Anyway, I grabbed a meal from McDonald's on the go because I needed to find an orphanage quick as well as an escape route incase my ego kills someone. Or worst, people.
I took a break and took a stroll in a park because I needed to clear my head. I took a look at my reflection in the fountain to know how I look. I had black hair and pale blue eyes with silver pupils. I then realized why no one adopted me. I don't even have normal eyes. They just give nightmares to anyone who see me, and my clothes add to the affect. I looked like one of those kids without a home, which is basically what I am.
I ended up huddling up into a ball and dozed off in an alley. Just then a girl asked, "Why are you here? You will catch a cold." I looked up, but not all the way due to my eyes. The clothes she picked were weird. However, I didn't look any higher since she would receive nightmares from them. But to protect her from nightmares, I brushed my hair slightly over my eyes so she couldn't see them.
She asked, "What's your name?" I remained silent. She asked, "Do you even have a name?" I shook my head. "Can you talk?" I nodded. "So you can talk, but you just don't feel like it, and you don't have a name." I shrugged and replied, "Just avoid eye contact with me cause if you do, you will probably run away from me. And yes, at the moment I don't have a name." I took a deep breath and explained, "Look. I'm an orphan. I don't even stay in the same place twice. So I strongly recommend you to forget about me and just leave me alone." She just took off her boy jacket, not a girl jacket, and shoved it towards me as she said, "At least put this on so you won't get a cold." I took it from her and as I put it on, some wind blown it out of my eyes causing them to show. Only one word ran through me when she saw my eyes. Shit.
But when I saw her eyes, I knew she wasn't normal ether. Heck, she looked a year younger than me. She just asked me one question, "Who are you?" I just backed away and said before running, "Easy, the prince of Hell. That makes you the princess of Heaven." I just ran away after that, not caring if she was even tailing me. She doesn't know my name and I don't know hers, it's better that way. And at the time, I knew it best to hide in the shadows so no one could see me.
The girl was Brenna, Jacksonluver101's OC in the Revenge of a General. Check it out! Oh, and please review.
P.S. The next few chapters take place before older Brenna and older Shadow even meet in the Revenge of a General chapter 21. Chapter 18.
