Chapter 2

KID'S P.O.V.

I ran after her but her speed was to great. When I got outside she was gone.

"Hey kid!" said a voice next to me.

I looked over and there stood Liz and Patty they walked over to me and asked "what's wrong?"

I glanced at the stairs and said "nothing. Let's go home."

I was lost in thought the whole way home. Liz was watching me the whole way home with concern but I didn't notice.

When we got home I walked in and went to my bedroom I closed the door and laid down on my bed thinking about Shadow mesmerized at the images in my head the way her eye lashes formed shadows down her cheeks and her sparkling black teeth. Her beauty was more than just symmetry. It was value and personality, proportions and shape, light and dark, balance. Perfect balance.

"Kid can I come in?" said a voice at the door.

"Yes, Liz, come in."

Liz entered my bedroom and sat on my bed.

"Something is up, now tell me, what is it?"

"Really? Nothing. Father called a girl to the death room while I was there and I was thinking about how…. different she is. I mean she had bright purple eyes and she had the same skin tone as mine. It was… weird."

"that is weird… she was that pale it wasn't makeup or anything like that was it?"

"No, it was too even and shiny to be makeup. Not powdery."

"The eyes however, are not to weird after meeting soul, no eyes can compare."

"Hers can."

Liz just stared at me.

SHADOW'S P.O.V.

The cat had long since transformed and we were just staring at each other warily. Finally I just walked off.

She stared after me. Then ran up and put her witch hat on my head and then just ran off. I pulled it off and smiled at it.

"thanks Blair." I twirled it around in my fingers and set it on my head. then I walked over to a run down motel and made sure no one was there then twisted the door knob on room 666 and walked in side. My heart skipped a beat it was the exact same as when I left 4 weeks before. Black clothes were folded in to neat piles and a black bedazzled phone sat on the night stand. I picked it up and scrolled through the calls nothing. No one loves me. I have no contacts and no friends. I closed it and set it down. When it beeped. I picked it up and there was a call from the school. I memorized it's number so could put it on my phone but always forgot. I answered it with a "heellloo?" what I got was suprising though. On the other end waslord death asking me a question I can't wait to answer.
