Xenysis's POV- my house

When I came out of the portal, I caught my sister, Krissi, trying to foolishly open my desk drawer. I stopped her before my shadow escaped. When I looked around the room, I noticed that she had all my stuff packed. She even managed to get Equitar, my dark-purple parrot, to go into his cage.

Xenysis: "Why is my stuff packed?!"

Krissi: "Simple, really. We're moving."

Xenysis: "What do you mean, we're moving?!"

Krissi: "I mean that our parents decided to move from Terabithia to a place called Arendalle."

Xenysis: "Arendalle?!"

Krissi, confused: "Do you know it, bro?"

Xenysis: "Yeah. Liongates High went up against-" (And lost to) "-Diworks High over there, earlier today."

Krissi: "How convenient, that's the closest high school to where we're moving to."

Oh no! Diworks High has been Liongates High's rival since, well, forever. My friends would think that I've entered the 'belly of the beast.' However, there is a bright side to all this: I'll be able to keep watch on Elsa and Ymke.

I reluctantly start moving box after box to a van outside. When all the boxes, dressers, desks, and furniture has been moved to the van, it started getting late. I carefully picked up Equitar's cage, and got in the van.

I took about an hour to reach my new home. Krissi had fallen asleep, and is snoring. As Mom and Dad carefully carry her inside, I began moving everything inside.

When I went to pick up Equitar's cage, he pecked at me. When I first got Equitar, he was a plain dark-purple with a tan underside. Now, after about a million peck, (while pruning afterward) the back edges of his wing and tail feathers were stained red. Not to mention that he and my shadow got into a lot of fights, and he has the scars to prove it. With the scars and blood-stained feathers, Equitar looks like a battle-worn veteran.

Xenysis, laughing: "Useless bird."

I began heading toward the house with Equitar, knowing he's as spooked as me. I looked to the left, and saw (in my opinion) the most beautiful girl ever. Her curly, autumn-red hair was left in a bushy state, making her hair look like a raging fire. Her fair face has a slight hint of freckles, with sky-blue eyes. She's wearing light-blue jeans, a white tee shirt, and has a checkered teal shirt tied around her waist. She looks about my age.

While staring at her, I accidently ran into a pole. Equitar got the brunt of the hit, and pecked at my fingers to get me to pay attention to where I was going. 'Who is that girl? She's so beautiful. For once, I hope she goes to Diworks High.'

I head inside. Everything that belongs to my room is already there, and I couldn't help but notice a trapdoor leading down. 'I'll have to check that out later.' I move my furniture into the basic spots that they will be in, and I jump onto my bed, (after setting Equitar down) falling asleep instantly.

-Dream-

I am falling into darkness. When I land, light instantly appears. I am on a small island, with palm trees scattered about. A shadow rises in front of me. It slowly takes my form.

?: "You have the power to control shadows?"

Xenysis: "Yeah? What's it to you?"

?: "You must know what happens if you use your power too much?"

Xenysis: "Yeah, I know it. I lose them, and I turn bad."

?: "What if I were to tell you that only counts to big tasks, like portals."

Xenysis: "Well, I'd say you're crazy!"

?: "I didn't believe it either. I kept my power completely hidden from others as well. Only using them in emergencies. However, whether you believe it or not, it's true."

The figure began disappearing into the darkness. The island also started disappearing as well.

?: "It's your choice whether to believe it or not, and I hope you will believe it."

The last part of the dream was darkness, with the shadow repeating the last two words it said. "believe it."
