The Adventures of Shadow and Mikey

Ghost House

In the little town of Animetia, there was a young boy named Shadow, he was quite tall, especially for his age, and he had blue eyes and dark brown hair, many people mistook it as black. Shadow had short hair on the sides and back but a longer fringe which swept across his right eye. He was wearing dark blue jeans, almost black, with a short sleeved shirt which had a mustache on it with speech underneath which said 'I mustache you a question, but I'll shave it for later', he had a lot of shirts with funny quotes on. He didn't have many friends, mainly because there were only a few residents in his town, and not many of them had kids and the other reason is because the kids that are there believe that he is strange so they avoided talking to him.

Shadow loves to cook; he is also into ghosts and spiritual stuff. A few houses away from Shadows is an old abandoned mansion, no-one knows when someone lived there last but he believed it was haunted; haunted by all the owners who were slaughtered there. Well that's what the rumours say that happened.

The young boy grew bored and lonely, he really wanted to go and explore the house, but he was too scared to go alone

"What if there really is a ghost?" He mumbled to himself and paced back and forth outside his house. A loud noise blasted from around the corner on the main road leading in and out of Animetia. Shadow ran as fast as he could to the end of the road to see what was heading his way. As he looked around the corner he saw a large moving van hobbling along the broken and cracked road, the van slowly turned and passed the sign welcoming all into this peaceful town. As the vehicle stop outside the recently emptied house opposite Shadow's, a tall lady stepped out from the passenger's side, shortly followed by a boy, quite a bit shorter than Shadow, he seemed about the same age though. Shadow smiled brightly as he thought he could maybe have a new friend. The newly arrived family entered the house and look around, the mother got the driver to unpack for them. Shadow looked around to see if another car would come, one containing the boy's father, but nothing followed, he stepped back and ran home to tell his parents the great news.

The next day Shadow sat in his chair, which he placed by the window so he could see the whole town, and looked around as he did every morning and noticed the new kid leave his house, he left alone and seem confused and lonely. The boy scanned his new hometown and had his right hand cupped over his eyes to stop the beaming sunlight from blinding him. He was of middle height and really skinny just like Shadow, he had a more blondy brown hair colour also longer at the front. He had green eyes which shinned like emeralds and he was wearing white skinny jeans and a light blue top with some anime characters on it. Shadow allowed a smile to appear on his face

"This is my chance, my chance to meet him" He whispered to himself, as he did so he hopped of his chair, ran downstairs and grabbed his shoes from by the door and his coat of the rack. Shadow rapidly put them on before storming out, his mother noticed and was just about to call him, but he was already gone

"Heya! Yeah, you!" He shouted and quickly ran to the new boy, he tried to smile but went all nervous and couldn't speak, the new kid laughed slightly and stepped a little closer, he stuck out his hand

"I'm Michael...but call me Mikey please" The boy explained, Shadow smiled in return and shook the boys hand

"I'm Shadow, nice to meet you" The kid replied and Mikey returned the smile and nodded back as if he was saying 'likewise' or 'same here'. The clouds started to form together and it slowly got darker and darker; Mikey tugged on Shadows sleeve and pulled him into his house

"It's going to rain, real bad! We don't want to get caught up in that now do we" He asked rhetorically, Shadow just shook his head and followed. Mikey's mom entered the house a few minutes later and smiled brightly at them both, she was reasonably tall for a lady and had smooth brunette hair which flowed freely down the left side of her face, she had one green eye and one blue. She was wearing a neat white blouse with a black jacket on top, she was also wearing a black, knee length skirt with some black high-heels
