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?

I sat down slowly next to him and squeezed his hand.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered.

He bowed his head in sorrow. His hands left mine to grab his hair.

"I was supposed to watch her. We were playing in the yard. One minute, she was running into the forest to catch her ball, the next I heard her scream, and before I could do anything, a Shadow was hovering over her dead body."

Tears filled my eyes as I rubbed his back. His muscles smoothed out a bit, but I could tell he was still upset.

"I tried using my powers to bring her back, but she was gone. And it was my fault."
