Chapter 6
Shadowed By Love
" ? May I use the bathroom?" i ask as by phone buzzes.
"Fine, but DON'T take your time." He replied annoyed because he isn't allowed to say no.
"Thx." I say as I walk out of the room holding me phone. I don't go to the bathroom of course. No. that wasn't why I left. I walked outside and shook out my wings and flew onto the roof. It was a message from my creators. They wanted me to report my progress on my mission. My heart dropped when he saw the time that he would report. 5 hours and he had literally NO progress to report. "UGG!" I yell in frustration.
"You know you could have at least pretended to be interested in what had to say." I heard shadow say in an irritated voice behind me. Maybe I had a chance after all. "He was so pissed off he let the whole class out muttering something about teenagers being unworthy of knowledge. Just because you have these privileges doesn't mean you have to abuse them."
"I had a good reason!" I say defensively.
"Oh really? I'd like to hear it!" She scoffs.
"I- I can't. But I promise you it was important!"
"Whatever. Anyways that wasn't why I came up here. I was wondering if you'd seen that Star kid that's always following us around. She's never missed a day of school, and I don't think she'd ever have a reason to. She'd come to school even if she was run over by a truck!"
"Yea, I noticed she was gone to. Not like her to miss a day of school, let alone a week!"
"Yea, well i'm off to go look for her. Tell me if you see her and Nightmare."
"Hey Shadow wait! I'll help you look. It'll be easier with 2. How about we meet each other back here at 1 ok? That'll give us 2 hours. Wait Nightmare to?" I wasn't about to just let her leave! He needed to make some progress and fast! Of course it would be easy once he got the second part of his mission done.
"What second part?" Shadow asked suspiciously. Oh crap! I thought, I forgot Shadow can mimic other people's abilities, and one of her friends can read minds! "What second part?!" she urged.
"I'll tell you about it later." I lied, "Right now we need to find Star."
"Ok. " She said as she took of into the sky.
"That was close." I sighed. The reason I was so uptight was because the second part was to kill her boyfriend, Iggy. that was something he know she wouldn't like. "Well better get looking. I know she'd like it if I came back with some knews. As I flew around looking for signs of the 2 girls I noticed a few feathers on the ground in the middle of the forest by some cliffs. He also saw many foot print and signs of struggle.
"Crap." I said to myself. "They've got Star and Nightmare, Shadow isn't gunna like this. Wait, Who's feather is this?" I ask myself. Nightmare doesn't have wings, Star doesn't, does she? It was almost 1;00 so I started heading back.
(Back at the school)
"Didn't find anything, did you?" shadow asked.
"Umm, yes… Maybe, does Star have wings?" I ask nervously.
"I don't know maybe. Why?"
"I think Nightmare and Star were taken by the Whitecoats."
"WHAT!" she yelled.
"I found traces of them and then some Erasers, and then struggle, and then, well, they took them." I explained vaguely, and she culapsed to the ground putting her hands in her face. Wait no. putting her face in her hands, not the other way around. Anyways, this was my chance.
"It's ok Shadow, we'll get them back." I say and she looks up, perfect! And I lean down and kiss her.
