Chapter 32
Wolf
This was absolutely perfect. Star was asleep and I was alone in the middle of a forest with Shadow.
'Why don't we land here for a sec Shadow?' I asked.
'Ugg, fine.' she thought back.
We landed and sat down for a second. I felt Shadow's nervousness and smiled.
She stood up hearing my thoughts, trying to get away before I could do anything. But I grabbed her hand before she was able to take of.
'Let go of me!' she thought, trying to pull away. She knew I wouldn't, and I knew she wouldn't fight back too hard. I had learned some things about Shadow during these last few days that completely surprised me. One, she hated violence and will avoid a fight unless completely necessary. Two, she gets completely sick with anything that has to do with the inside of your body even if you're just talking about it. (I don't blame her, after all, she was raised in a laboratory) Three, she actually sortof liked me back, but she'd never admit it to herself.
'Nova, I swear if you don't let go of me right now I'll-' she started as I pulled her into a bear hug. She stopped mid-thought because she sensed something coming.
'Shadow? What is it?' I asked her as she stared into the tree's.
'Crap, crap, crap! Take off. Now!' she mentally screamed at me as something big approached us at full speed.
I wasn't sure what to do. I knew she wasn't lying about the approaching threat, but I wasn't sure when I'd get a chance like this again…
"Nova!" she yelled out loud.
I saw in her head what was coming before it came into view, an eraser who had been sent to find us but had a personal goal to kill Shadow. I knew I was probably being an idiot by not taking off and escaping while I could, but I decided to stay and see what this threat was.
Pulling Shadow behind me I searched the surrounding trees for the eraser who was apparently named Two by Shadow as a way to provoke him.
'Nova, what are you doing?' Shadow asked.
I didn't answer, but my thoughts probably gave me away.
Two stepped out of the Shadow's and what I saw probably should have startled me, but Shadow's thoughts gave me a fair warning.
He was a exact copy of a different eraser named Ari. At first I thought he was a clone, but Shadow tipped me off that he was actually his twin. She would explain more later.
The massive figure (he was taller than his twin) crept slowly towards us. I could tell he was preparing for attack. Backing away slowly I hugged Shadow closer to me. I knew now that I probably should have left while I could. Unfortunately, now was too late.
Two was slowly gaining on us. He was now in a position where he could probably attack us whenever he wanted to. A sick smile came to his lips as he looked at Shadow. I hated it.
Suddenly he started shaking, his hole body blurred. Me and Shadow both gasped in surprise when he suddenly morphed into a giant wolf, bigger than a bear. Obviously, he wasn't an eraser.
The massive beast made a laughing type noise when he saw our reaction. He started circling us again a low growl rising from his throat. I was taken by surprise when the creature sprung into an attack. He lept to where we stood, slashing my arm with it's claws as it tried to get Shadow, and lept back.
Everything happened so quick after that. Shadow leapt away from me growling at the wolf menacingly. She lept in the air towards it and mid-jump she morphed into a jet-black wolf.
