The Shadows

by Danielle Pitter

Drabble form. Mass attacks are made around Seattle by these dark creatures called Shadows. They feed off of light, happiness, and joy and suck them out of their victims, leaving them emotionless. And now they're after Bella. But she doesn't know why or how. Because she doesn't know how powerful she is. Can the Cullens help her discover her true power while protecting their city?

Previously…

But why me? Why now? I was nothing special. I didn't know how to control any of this.

~oOo~

I put my head between my knees and tried to breathe. This didn't make any sense.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and I lifted my head to see 2 other vampires.

My eyes laid on the reddish-brown haired one, whose frown deepened as he stared at me. I looked down into my knees again.

"Is she ok?" one of the voices asked.

"She's just suffered a Shadow attack. But she saved herself with her new powers." Esme said.

"How is that possible if she didn't know she had them?"

"She's gifted, Edward. She's special."

"Casters of Light know that they have their powers, or at least know they will have them eventually. She shouldn't be here."

I looked up at that, wishing I didn't.
