So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
A/N: Yes, this will be in someone's point of view, but not an adult's. After school starts back up, I might not post as often, but I'll find time.
Bryce's POV
Peeking around the corner, I saw dad twitching. The moon's pretty tonight, so why is dad on the ground? Pulling myself on the bed, I nudged mom until she sat up, asking, "What's wrong, Bryce?"
"Dad's twitching." I answered, pointing out of the room to the living room.
Following her down the hall, I noticed how warm it had gotten, it's nice. Bumping into her, I looked over her back and saw dad with wings much like a bird's and two points sticking from his head next to his ears. Looking at him a bit longer, I noticed he was smiling. It didn't look too friendly, but I've never seen him smile.
"Son, come here." He commanded with that same smile on his face. I went over to him swallowing the lump beginning to grow in my throat, letting out a small gasp at him hugging me I stayed still.
'Why isn't Maria up? Dad's smiling and really warm.' I wondered, watching him outstretch his hand towards mom.
She hesitated, before touching the points on his head and later his wings, asking, "What are you?"
He let out a chuckle, answering, "A monster, an abomination." Looking down at me he continued, "Go back to bed, son."
I nodded as he let me go, and went back into their room. Is dad really a monster? Not that I know of, monsters have claws and growl all the time. Dad doesn't do any of that, and he isn't all that scary. After sitting in the middle for a while, mom came back she looked scared.
"Where's dad?" I questioned, looking at the door as his steps grew quieter.
Pulling me towards me, she answered, "He'll be back, kiddo."
"But…"
"Please, go to sleep. We wouldn't want him to worry about us, right?"
I nodded and drifted off to sleep before a flash of orange and green. Is dad actually a monster?
A/N: I think I handled this well, even the conversation. Also Bryce and Maria are still seven, and I enjoyed writing about Shadow's transformation. Anyway, review please.
