"There is no need to be in that pathetic dog form of yours," Shadow snarled, she looked down at him, "We all know who you are, and what you wish to rid of."
Jack didn't speak, he just watched the girl walk ahead of him, beaming with pride. What was she so pleased about? There was nothing really to be pleased for. Great, a superhero he meets hates his power.
"What powers do you have? Turning into a shadow?" He jokingly scoffed, thinking of how pleased he was of talking back to her. She turned, those silver eyes made him feel uneasy.
"I live in your nightmares kid, let's just leave it at that," Whoever she was, he didn't want to know. The rain made his fur uncomfortably wet, this day seemed to get even worse.
"Where are you taking me?" He asked, aware that people were around, but it didn't matter to him. There was no reply, silence was what lay between them like mist. "You know, I don't really want to do this."
Turning away from her he looked up to see she was glaring down at him, "If you don't listen to me I will take action." What did she mean? The last thing he needed was a stalker, even a villain.
"I just, don't believe that you're…a, superhero," Jack smiled playfully, " I don't really think you're all that incredible either." Shadow's face twisted in rage, kicking icy water at his face.
"Well little Jack-Jack I have some great news to tell you…"
The hairs on his back pricked, he could feel something was wrong…but what?

"Come on Dash," Violet shot out another force field at her brother, barely grazing him. "We need to find Jack, not play a game," closing her eyes she focused on where Dash was, a surge of power went straight through her. Great, Dash was caught, his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Come on Viooolet! No force fields!" He hit the orb with his fist just to feel a cold surge of power rush up his arm. "Alright, alright! Let's go on mom's little rescue search…" He sighed, feeling his feet meet the ground once again.
"Good, now come on, it's getting dark," Dash listened to his sister's words, it was getting dark, but how could she tell in a gray sky like this? His pants were soaking wet by the time they got to the school. Violet told him not to speed walk, but no, he did.
"Jack!" He cried, cupping his hands around his mouth. There was no reply, just the chirping of the wet birds in the trees. "Jack!" Dash looked up the tree to see a robin puffing its chest at him. "I'm sorry okay? Just come down!"
"Uh…Dash?"
"One moment sis- -"
"No Dash, you really have to see this…."
"What?!" He turned to see Violet kneeling next to his pack, nothing else was left but a track of dog footprints.
"D-Do you think he would really… leave us like that." Violet's voice shook slightly, her dark brown eyes just staring at the ground.
"I don't know Violet, but we have to- -"
"We don't have to do anything, alright? We're going home…" She picked up his backpack and stepped carelessly over the tracks in the mud. "Come on!"
Dash had never really seen his sister like this before, it upset him how depressed she was. "We can't just go Violet! Those tracks must have meant something!" He saw her look over her shoulder at the ground.
"Even if we tried…his tracks would be gone now on the sidewalks. Think about it, nobody would see them and think someone was looking for their dog…"
He sighed, there was no way getting through to his sister now. She was in a place where even he couldn't reach her. A blur went past him, "Violet- -" A horrible pain shot through him and he fell to the ground.
"Dash…DASH!" Violet threw off the heavy weight on her shoulders, the only evidence she had that he left…would soon be gone. What she didn't know was that someone was above them, waiting to attack.
"Speak to me come on…" Violet slapped his cheek to get a response, her brother winced but his eyes didn't open. "Come on… no more games! Please don't do this now!"
- - -
"Hello there," A voice whispered coolly, whipping around she saw nothing but the empty sidewalk.
"Where are you?" She cried, seeing that not a soul was anywhere in sight. The person just laughed, thinking this was some sort of game.
"Have you ever though of looking up??" There above her, was a boy, his white hair fell to his shoulders, and he had two colored eyes. One was golden, the other a misty hazel. "Hello Violet, I never thought when coming after you, that you would be so…" She saw a flash of white and the next moment someone's arms were around her. "Cute."
"Get your hands off me!" Violet cried, pushing him away, he just smiled looking at her. At that moment Dash got to his feet, rubbing his eyes in an infuriated manner.
"Dash! We have trouble!" He could hear a voice, was that Violet? All he could see was white, rubbing harder he could only see two shadowed figures.
"Violet I can't see anything! Where are you?!"
She gasped, seeing her brother close his eyes, then opening them with that lost look on his face. "I'm here beside you Dash! Can't you see me?!"
"The fastest of them all and he is blind? When did that happen?" The man smirked seeing the shock in Violet's eyes…
"You did this!" She cried, pointing to where the menace once stood. "What…? Where are you?!" Her voice yelled in agony, getting to her feet she embraced her brother tightly.
"I know you can't see me Dash, but I promise you…that you will see again." Violet bit her lip, that creep took her brother's sight. He held her…whoever he was and worked for, this wasn't good…

Helen waited at her door, looking out at the streets she felt tears well in her eyes. It was a long, dreary day, and they hadn't returned with Jack.
"Hey mom," A voice said behind her, whirling around she saw Jack standing there smiling. She felt so much happiness swell inside her, but, how did he get inside? 'I should know this by now, he probably turned into some sort of insect.' She laughed at her thoughts and of his return, embracing her son in her arms.
"Mom- -" Violet began, walking in the open door to see Jack embracing her. She didn't believe it, it couldn't be him. "That isn't Jack mom! I.."
He looked at her and Helen turned around, "Violet you're back…" she said in a non-ecstatic tone.
"We've got to get help now! Dash lost his sight, it's a long story but- -"
"Lost his sight?!" She went over to him and touched his cheek, "Look at me in the eyes Dash," he did look at her, but there was no emotion on his face or eyes. "We need to get help now- -" The door slammed shut, locking them in.
"Violet what game are you- -" But her daughter was beside her, than who possibly…Jack!! Slowly looking behind her she saw her son, smiling.
"Jack!? But why are you doing this?"
He formed slowly before them, his stature became tall and slim, and his hair grew into shoulder length white, and his eyes, changed into gold and hazel.
"Well isn't this lovely? All of us are together now!"
Violet angrily snapped at him, "I don't know who you are but stop messing with us!" He just glared at her, smirking, she saw a glint in his eyes.
"The fight has just begun dear Violet, and I wouldn't think about talking in that tone!" He waved a finger at her, acting as if she was some…some child!!
"Where's Jack-Jack? I know you have something to do with him vanishing!"
"Violet, Violet…when will you ever learn to keep your mouth 'shut'?" She couldn't stand his mocking, she was to speak but nothing came…what was happening?!
"Now be a good little group of superheroes and listen…alright?" He laughed seeing the three shaken, looking at him as if he were fear himself.
"Let the horrors begin!" He cried joyously.
- End of Chapter two…strange where this story is going. But the fun is just getting started! Well I sound like that creep now… Please R&R Thanks I appreciate it!-
