Chapter 6: A Shadow of a Doubt
"Dang, Jadeite, your stupid plants hurt," exclaimed Sayo sensitively touching her arm where his plant took a crack at.
"Yeah, well your ice attack was a walk in the park either," he replied looking at his toes that became frosted bitten by the attack but luckily for him that Violet was hurt that bad and will be able to heal all of their wounds.
"So, who has the most damages?" asked Violet looking at the tired bunch.
Slowly a hand rose up. All heads turn towards the source.
"Of course, who else would it be?" joked Ruby.
"That's not funny, Ruby," replied Violet as she helped Danielle to the bed to get healed.
"Raven, shadows," a voice said behind them all causing everyone to jump, okay the only ones who jumped were Kii, Danielle, Sayo, and Sakia. Everyone else was used to that.
"Does she have to do that every time?" Kii asked getting up.
"Yeah? Hey what did she mean anyways?" Sayo asked Raven.
"Oh, she wanted me to see your shadow."
"Why would she care about our shadow?" questioned Sakia confused.
"Because she wants to know who you really are," explained Raven like it was nothing.
"You don't trust us?" asked Kii getting a bit worried.
"It's not that. It just that she wants to know where your powers come from, and they can also tell us about your personality," Raven said in a more clearer terms.
"Yeah, it's actually pretty cool," stated Jade. "Mine is a squirrel. My brother's a coyote."
"Mine's a dolphin," said Cyan.
"Let's see, umm… Ruby's a dragon. Violet has a humming bird. Amber's a wolf. And mine is a crow," Raven listed just cause she wanted to get on with finding out the others.
"Cool, what about Ivory?" asked Danielle as the last of her wounds were being healed.
"That's the weird part. You see I can look at anybody's shadow, but Ivory is unique. I can't see hers."
"It's been a mystery to us too, but we don't mind we all love her anyways just like we love each other," stated Cyan placing an arm on Ruby's shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah, that's what you think," Ruby said back shrugging the hand off her shoulder.
"Any who, Danielle, I'll see yours first. Just relax. This might feel funny," explained Raven.
She pinched an edged of Danielle's shadow and closed her eyes. She then pulled the shadow off the bed. The shadow began to move and shift its form.
When all was done, Ruby started to burst out laughing.
"Your power if from a donkey?" she said trying hard not to cry from laughing too hard. (Sorry, Kii, I know that you wanted it to be a goat but just how you explained her to me I just couldn't resist.)
"That explains why you're so clumsy," stated Kii.
"Okay, enough making fun of her shadow. Raven would you try someone else now," explained Violet trying to help Danielle.
"Fine, Sakia, I'll do yours next."
Raven did the same thing to Sakia as she did Danielle, but this time Sakia's shadow was a hawk.
"Aww, it's so cute," Jade said trying to pet it but every time she tried it would just move away.
"That's cool. I didn't know I was a hawk."
"What is mine?" jumped Sayo.
"Well, let me look," stated Raven concentrating and starting the process all over.
"Wow, it's a phoenix," Sayo said shocked.
"That's unexpected. I would have thought that yours would be more hyper," explained Kii. "So, do you think that we can join yet?"
"Nope, we still have to see what yours is then we will think about it," answered Jadeite.
Without a word Raven had finished Kii's shadow.
"What a real shocker? It's a fox. I could have told you that one," Kii said getting a bit annoyed of all of this just to join this stupid group, as she called it, but she had to.
"We just had to make sure," replied Cyan plopping down next to Danielle.
I don't like her shadow. She seems to be hiding something from us all of them, but what can it be? A shadow never lies but this is odd to me. What do you want us to do? Raven telepathically asked Ivory. There was not a reply back. Okay, I'll see what I can find out about their shadows in my books. I guess we'll have to trust you until then, Raven answered the silence like she knew what Ivory was think/say without her actually thinking/saying anything.
"So, Ivory, what do you think about them?" asked Amber turning around expecting to see Ivory standing there but she saw nothing but the door.
"I guess that's a yes," Violet answered Amber's question a bit unsure.
"Yes! Does that mean that we are part of the Lost Colors?"
"Yeappers Sayo, welcome to the gang!" cheered Jade.
