Chapter 19
Leo POV
"When Shadow First came to the school she wasn't alone." I explained, "She had an older brother named Venom. She wouldn't talk to anyone but him. Every time they let us outside she wouldn't go near anyone but him. She never left him side at all. He'd always refer to as his 'Little Shadow' and the name stuck"
"So where is her brother? I mean wouldn't he be here with us?" I winced and continued explaining.
"No. Venom was killed by the school. When Venom died Shadow vowed to avenge his death. She took on the nickname he gave her as her real name."
"That's…Wow" Sound looked shocked. What I had told him was true. Every last word.
"Speak of the devil" Ian muttered a good two feet from my right. Of course he had been listening.
Shadow dove below the surface not bothering to wait for anyone else. She always loved swimming and was by far the best swimmer in the group. Silent sat on the edge of the pool and slid in not making a sound of course. Well that's why we call him Silent. Zack slid in as well copying his dad. He always thought of Silent as a father figure but now I guess he's his real father.
"Breathe deeply" Shadow hollered in my ear next thing I knew I was pushed under the water. I can't breathe under water but I can hold my breath for at least 8 minutes.
"Shadow let him up!" I heard Ian holler. I had closed my eyes at the 4 minute mark acting like I had passed out. Shadow knew better then to believe that but let me up anyways.
"No! Brother!" Ian pulled me from Shadow's arm dragging me across the pool pretending to be grieving about my death. I opened one eye.
"They gone?" I whispered, he nodded, "Awesome" I stood up shaking the water out of my black hair. I never got tired of it looking like this. I always hated being blonde. All the blonde jokes from everyone, well now Silent knows how it feels.
"Little full of yourself don't you think Leo?" My face flushed and I turned red.
"Stay out of my head Shadow!" I hollered, she smirked and plugged her nose diving under the water.
"I worry about her some days" Ian said sighing and shaking his head.
"As do I, why is she our leader again?"
"Because if she wasn't this group would have Jello for brains"
"Thought you already did?"
