The Shadow's Child

Mercury

Fire. People say it's inside of you. It's a lie. It's inside me.
Why? Because I was given the power of fire.

It's hell.

Ever since my sisters died, life has been shit. It's haunted me. Dark things.

I know I have to protect the earth, but everyone has crap days.

Days when pain sears through your chest, the fire pulsing inside you, shadows talking to you.

I'm pretty sure humans don't suffer from that.

I was sitting on the rooftop of a restaurant. I ran my hands through my blazing red, curled hair. I pulled my hood over my head. I had to leave before the owner yelled at me.

I had no where to stay for the night. I decided to stay in an alleyway. It may of stunk, but I was hidden.
Humans. They think they are smart. They aren't really. The only time they're useful in dangerous situations.

Though they may evolve from chimpanzees, they can be pretty amazing.

I watched the stars, for a little bit. So far away.

My eyes were beginning to get heavy. I tried to keep my eyes open, but it did no use.

I woke up. I felt a pain run down my spine. It wasn't the usual pain, I mean it was extremely painful. But it did run through my body, mainly at the back of my head, but it was hard to explain.

I tried to shake it off by going for a run. I ran through a park. In my wolf form, of course.
My wolf was a medium size, built for speed, to take damage, and to give it.
I had a red and cream coat. It was truly beautiful.

As my paws hit the ground everyone's head turned.
People in awe, confusion and some looked like cretins.

I felt better. But I was now hungry, so I decided to stay in wolf in wolf form.
I walked about a little.

There was nothing to interesting. But I can across this pizza place 'Reetos' but before I could get in side, a sixteen year old girl ran out of the shop with a massive book.

I paused for a little bit. Magic leapt off that girl. I knew what she was.
I smiled.(It is very hard for a wolf to smile, they don't have the correct bone cheeks.) I wondered if was going to see her again.

I entered the shop. It smelt like soda water and old pizzas. I frowned. "I guess it works with dogs, the same way it does with Dragonites." The man sighed. "What can I do for you?"
