After finishing our artwork we took a step back to admire it. A white rose with color splashed onto it from somebody's wound. Then the warning bell rang, it was time for class. I sighed and said my goodbyes to Leon, walking into the school with my hands tucked into my pockets. Music flowed into my ears from the earbuds firmly plugged into my ears. As I walked through I ignored the calls of "freak" and focused on the sound of "A Little Faster" by There For Tomorrow. To be completely honest I don't think my heart would still be beating if not for music.
Backtracking until I reached my destination, I'd passed it, I walked into my classroom. I'll spare you the boring details of school.

As soon as I was inside the door I collapsed on the couch and checked my phone. Ten missed calls from my sister. Shrugging I tossed my phone onto the coffee table. It was pointless trying to reason with her. Same thing goes for my parents who are never home anyway. Something cold brushed against my leg. I groaned and kicked it away. "Why can't you just stay in your regular form?" I mumbled in annoyance.
"Ciar, why must you be so cruel?" it whispered in my ear in an enchanting, villainously smooth voice that sent shivers down my spine and torturous images reeling through my mind. "You know you love me."
"If I loved you why would I be telling you to leave me alone? Why would I confess to you my loathing hatred daily?" I said the edge in my voice deadly.
I felt her sharp fingernails walking up my back. "Because, you don't want to admit to what you are or what you are destined to do. Come on," there were hands on my shoulders, her head was resting between my shoulder blades, "give in, it is only a matter of time."
I elbowed her in the face sending her flying back. I turned around to face the shadow. "No Keres, I will not! I refuse to believe it is my destiny. And it is not a matter of time because I will prevent it."
She smirked as I stormed past her slamming the door closed and flinging myself onto my bed. I curled up under the covers and blasted my music. Questions I never knew and likely never will know race through my mind as they often do. Why me? Why do I get this destiny? Why can't I have a normal life? Or a normal shadow? Why? Why? Why? Whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy?
After a while of contemplating these things I fell asleep. Unconsiousness pulling me away from this nightmare into a new one.
