The following story is based on a series of fanfiction stories written by a friend (Strange1 on fanfiction.net and fictionpress.com). She is currently posting her first one, entitle THE POWER OF ONE. This story takes place after the fourth story in her series and serves as a prequel to my "original" THE PULL, which "episodes" 1 and 2 are already posted on here. If you haven't read those, then please do. PULLING SHADOWS, the story you are about to read, is eleven chapters long, with a prologue and an epilogue. It introduces several characters and aspects that are important to THE PULL. I hope you enjoy it.
