shadow's war vol. 1 The Beginning (on hold)

Chapter 5: Flames

I woke up screaming, grabbing my chest in pain, but as soon it started; the pain seemed to end. Just then my aunt alongside my cousin ran into the room. "Whats wrong?!" My aunt asked, worried. I looked up, drenched in sweat, "I-it was nothing, mom. Just a-a bad dream..." I answered, my heart racing that it felt as if it would burst.

What the fuck was that? Why did it feel so real?!

My mother and sister walked out, with a sigh. What was up with them...? "Hey there..." i heard a voice beside me. "Speaking of the devil... Shadow... What... What was that?" i asked. "You, my friend, have been given specail gifts from the big man himself up there." Shadow answered. "Specail gifts..." i asked. He nodded, "Yep, think of lighting a match and snap your fingers." i snapped my fingers and starred in astonishment at my hand. In my hand, or more specifically, all over my hand was fire. "Close your hand and think of smoke, it'll exstinguish the flames." He instructed. I did so and looked at him.

"Your second gift, and i know your going to like this. is the ability to control shadows. Transform them, bend them to your will." He held a light bulb in the air and it lit, my shadow expanding below me. "You can even make creatures out of them, for instance, take your shadow and turn it into a fox." i did so, looking at my shadow thinking of a fox and raising my hand up and it turned three dimensional. It sat down, looking like a black statue. "Give it a command, something small." Shadow instructed. "Get me my black journal over there." i pointed at my black journal on my computer table across the room. It went to retrieve it and brought to me. i petted it softly and thanked it, then it vanished. I turned to Shadow. "THIS IS AWESOME!!!" I yelled.
