Familiar wars

Alex's darkness

It was already in the evening when we got to my old house, no one was home, but I was obvious that somone lives there. " I'm sorry they weren't here." Claire had said offering a hug to try to help me feel better, but I couldn't just leave from here now, I had to know. I made my way to the yard, " what do you think your doing," " they aren't home so I'm going to look inside real quick," " that's to risky what if they come back, you'd get
Caught,"  "look I know I can't just be here, but I atleast want to see my room, somthing from my old life, I just need somthing to make this all feel real," I hadn't realized I was crying as I said it, but it apparently was enough for Claire to let me go in, though Niya looked as though she knew what I ment.   I had expected my room to be cleared out, for everything to be dark and sad, but it looked like I hadn't left, it was still alittle messy but things were still used and even looked new some of it did.

The front door clicked as it opened, Niya grabbed on to us and shadow phased us through the wall, as everything spun and moved in a blur, I landed on the ground with a thud and nearly threw up," that was not fun." Claire and Niya laughed about the comment but went back to see who had went into my house. I got up and peeked through the window, it was me, the person looked like me, or atleast how I used to look before living in the spirit forest. There was somthing about him that felt wronge, it was confirmed when we saw him open the vanity drawer, small cages with familiars in them," is he a-,"  " a reaper, yeah," Claire was focused on him, " he's got some kind of energy field running along his skin, it explains how he looks like you, but why,"   Niya and me looked at each other for answers, knowing that neither had them.

"We can't let it stay it could hurt my family or worse, Niya move him out here" Niya latched on to his shadow and phased him outside to us, and Claire teleported us to a more private location .   "You took my looks, you took my family, and I bet your the reason I got sent to another world, I don't know who you are but it ends here!!"   

Niya's   Pov...................................

    I wasn't sure what the problem was with Alex, from how he talked I didn't think he liked it here, seemed to like the spirit forest a lot better,  but he sure is making a big deal about no longer living with his family.     Claire couldn't calm him down, and Alex powered up, only this time it wasn't the form from before, this one was less fluffy and more monstrous, he was dark, with spines all over instead of hair, with dark red eyes, he didn't even give the reaper time to react, Claire nearly lost her lunch to the violent display before us, I simply worried if we could settle him back down.    My fears were set aside after he slowly went back to normal, though with the reapers remains spread across the ground, I'd say he has some dark power in him, although it could be useful, he doesn't seem to be able to control it.
