Chapter 3 - Sylver

Sorry if this chapter is a bit confusing, it tells you a bit more about the crow though :)

"How do you know I-"

"I see everything you do Jessica."

I frowned.

Everything?

"How?"

The bird sighed and flew towards my bed. He was slightly larger than all the other crows I've seen and his eyes were definitely more human-like. His wings flapped twice before he landed on one of the soft pillows.

"How?" I repeated, sitting down next to him.

"That's non of your business."

I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at the big bird, "I think I deserve to know how a freaking crow is invading my privacy."

He gave his head a slight turn as he spoke, "I'm a bird, I have wings. Do the math." He flapped his wings for emphasis.

I laughed and shook my head.

"Pinch me, or bite me or something." I held out my arm towards him.

"What? Why?" He backed up.

"Just do it."

"No! Why?!" He backed up even more.

"Because this has to be a dream or something. This can't be real. I can't really be talking to a big ass bird in my room that apparently wants to keep me safe from whatever the hell this ring does or wh- I- see, I don't even know what you're trying to keep me safe from and wha-"

"Will you just shut the hell up?!"

I quickly shut my mouth.

"Stop with the rambling and stop with all the questions dammit!"

I looked down in embarrassment and played with my fingers, "Sorry..." The words came out almost inaudible.

There was a silence between us for a good two minutes before he decided to speak up.

"Listen, what do you want to know? What's going through your mind right now, so I can explain what all this fuss is about?" He stepped closer.

I thought for a moment.

"What are you? I mean, I know you're a crow and all, but you're obviously not a normal crow. You're much bigger...and your eyes and..."

He sighed and looked up at me. "I'm a shapeshifter."

My eyes widened, "a What?"

"Shapeshifter, you know those creatures that can change themselves into anyone or anything? Yeah that." He nodded to himself.

I kept staring at him with wide eyes.

a Shapeshifter? Do those thing even exist?

Well, obviously, there's one sitting in front of you right now. But is he telling the truth?

"Helooo, earth to Jessica?" I saw a large, black wing being waved in front of my face and snapped out of my daze.

"a Shapeshifter?" I frowned.

He nodded, "Yes my dear human, a shapeshifter!" He stretched out both his wings and made... jazz hands?

"Prove it."

With those words, he lowered his wings and gave me a flat stare.

"You can't be serious."

I nodded, "l am, prove it."
