Strange

The Shadows in the Dark

????? P.O.V. -

I watched the girl quietly as she paced her room. Why is Damon so interested in this . . . girl?? It doesn't make any sense. She's not even one of us. And not only Damon, but Dante seemed interested on keeping her safe. Whats so special about this girl?!?!

I couldn't help but growl as she paced her room. A sort of twisting starting in my stomach as I thought of how Dante seemed so interested in keeping that mutt of a girl safe. 

I shuffle slightly as the wind blows my long, black hair back. The twisting grew as I felt a sort of . . . jealous feeling? Rise up in me as her hips swayed as she walked. Why the heck does she have to be prettier than me?!?!?! It's not fair!!!

I clench my eyes shut and take a deep breath. 'Stop being jealous of her, Beth! It helps no one to be jealous!!!' I mentally shouted at myself before opening my eyes and watching her with a calmer mind.

Hopefully I don't kill her by the end of this. . .

Wait . . . what was her name again?

Claire's P.O.V. -

I felt as if I was being watched but shrugged it off as I paced the room. Why am I pacing you ask? Well it may be because I'm not sure exactly what's happening with me. I've been feeling really weird lately and I'm not sure why.

As I paced I suddenly felt a cold presence in my room and quickly turned around. And you'll never guess what I saw. But I'll let you anyway. What do you think I saw that caused me to release a scream that, for some odd reason, seemed muffled?

. . .

. . . .

. . . . .

. . . . . .

Well what I saw was a shadow . . . the same shadow I saw before. The one that sent me into a silent panic for days before I calmed down. Why is he/she back now?!?!

I wanted to yell for Devin, but my throat seemed to clog up as it started to walk - well more like float - over to me as I stood there frozen. However I wasn't only frozen with fear . . . for some reason this shadow seemed more familiar than just that incident.

But where and when did I ever run into this shadow before??? I don't remember.

I wanted to desperately, but I was stuck where I was as it inched closer and closer. Soon enough it was standing in front of me. I shivered slightly as it stared at me silently.

He looked down at my hand and a weird laugh escaped from it. "I see you've been taken. Hopefully he won't be to angry." he said, whispering the last part, but I still heard it.

"Wh-who?" I asked with a shaky voice, in an almost inaudible, quiet voice. He seemed to glance up at me as another laugh escaped him.

"Nothing you need to worry about right now dear." he said as he started to fade out.

"W-wait! Who are you?!?!" I asked, only reseving another laugh for an answer before he vanished all the way.

I stood there, shaking quietly, the only thing on my mind being that shadow. 'who is he??' I thought as I stared at the place he once stood. I really hope this bad feeling I have isn't really as bad as it seems.

The picture is of the person in the tree, watching Claire. Just so you kinda get an idea of what the girl looks like.
