Shadow POV

I shook my hair out sending water flying around me. Shivering I draped a towel around my shoulders. I grabbed another towel off the table and threw it over Zack's head drying out his hair. He giggled and squirmed under the towel trying to get it off. I pulled it away and wrapped it around his shoulders, kissing his forehead.

"I want to go back in the pool" Leo complained, "its warmer" I rolled my eyes draping a towel around Zack's shoulders drying out his hair.

"Oh shush, you like the cold"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Ian! Leo! Please for the love of all things good and sane, Shut up!" I nearly shouted at them. God those two can be quite childish at times. And they want to be leader. Ha! We would be dead in a week.

We got back to our rooms and switched out of our swim suits and gathered in my room.

"I've made a decision" Silent announced, "I want to find my parents"

"That's great! You get to be the first person to find your parents! Your real home" Bright exclaimed tears welling up in her eyes.

"That's great" Zack mumbled, not meeting his eyes. I pursed my lips and scooted over wrapping my arms around my little 5 year old.

"Shh it's ok. You're ok" I cooed rocking him against me. He turned burying his head in my shirt letting out soundless tears. I rubbed his back as Silent asked the others to give us a second. I mouth "thanks" and continued calming down Zack.

"I don't want you to leave" Zack said sniffling as he looked at Silent

"It's not going to be forever" Silent said sitting down by us rubbing Zack's back between his wings. Instinctively they opened slightly so they were poking out from under his shirt.

"But what if you never come back?" Zack twisted around in my lap, closing his wings, to look at his dad.

Right now I could see the resemblance between the two. They had the same dark hair, or well did since Silents hair was now blonde. They had the same midnight blue eyes and pale skin. It was a miracle I hadn't figured it out before now.

"It wont be forever I promise" Zack held out one hand, his pinky outwards. Silent locked his pink around Zack's. "I Pinky promise I will come back" Zack smiled softly at his father even though I knew he was on the verge of tears again.

"Now why don't you let your dad and I talk ok?" I kissed his forehead and watched as he climbed from my lap and went into the other room.

"Is this really what you want?"
