Silver Shadow (Complete)

6) High Above

I look down on the town and stare into the sunset. I un-transform and sit next to Kai.

He rubs his arm.

"You ok?" I ask.

"Yeah, just some cuts and bruises." He says.

I scoot closer to him.

"Can I check?" I ask.

"Sure." He says.

I look at his arm and see the cuts.

"You'll need to wash those when you get home." I say.

"Ok." He says.

I look back at the sunset and see only the silhouettes of buildings as the sun disappears.

I lean my head on his shoulder and just listen to the busy streets below us.

----------------------

"Listen you two are gonna not only be fighting small crimes so be prepared for bigger missions, ok?" Asks Mano.

"Yes, I'll be ready." I say.

"Me too." Says Kai.

Mano purrs.

"Great." He says.

He jumps off the counter and walks around the store. I look at Kai and he's watching Mano.

"You may go." Says Mano.

So me and Kai leave the shop and walk down the street.

"Wanna get something to drink?" Asks Kai.

"Sure." I say.

We walk over to a cafe and sit down inside. We both get something and drink it while we talk.

"So, I haven't seen Nathan around lately.... Has he bothered you at all?" Asks Kai.

"Nope, I haven't seen him either." I say.

I drink my soda.

"But I do hope he's ok." I say.

"But why would you care? He cheated on you." Kai says.

"Yeah but the ring made him bad he didn't choose to do all those things." I say.

"Well he was jealous." Kai says.

"I know." I say looking down.

Kai holds my hand.

"It's ok, don't worry." He says. "He won't bother you anymore now that I'm here."

I smile.

"Thanks Kai." I say. I give him a small kiss on the cheek. "You're so sweet."

He smiles.

"I know." He says.

We laugh. We finish and go back out on the sidewalk. We walk for a while and just keep walking. We stop at a cross walk.

I see a man following us. He stops behind us.

"Kai." I whisper.

"Yea?" He says.

"We are being followed." I whisper.

He looks on the window of the building next to us and sees the man. He looks at me and nods.

We cross the street and turn down an alley.

The man follows.

I quickly lift us up onto a roof and look down.

The man turns the corner and sees we are gone.

"Dang it." He says.

He pulls out his phone and calls someone but walks away before I can here him.

"What was that?" Says Kai confused.

"I don't know...." I say.

We look at each other and shrug.

We go back on the ground and part out ways.

I saw a bit of fear and worry in Kai's eye.

I walk home trying to think of what I should tell my mom for why I'm coming home so late.

"Young lady it's 11:47 where have you been." Says my mom from the couch.

"Sorry mom, I was out in town late with my boyfriend." I say.

"You and Nathan can't keep doing this." She says.

"Oh... Nathan isn't my boyfriend anymore...." I say.

I sit next to my mom.

"Well.... Who is?" She asks.

"Kai Grants." I say.

My mom looks at me, "Invite him over for dinner tomorrow night."

She walks to her room and I sigh. Good she isn't mad at me or him.

I walk to my room and sit on my bed. I let my dog lay on my lap. I grab a picture off my nightstand of my dad with me at the beach.

I tear up, "Goodnight dad, I love you..." I say.

I kiss the picture and set it down. I turn off my light and drift off into a deep sleep.

------------------------

I sit in my bed as I watch the TV.

"Today bad weather all over town and few have gone missing. People say they've seen the people disappear off the streets from a man dressed in pure black." Says the news women.

I hear my mom close the door and go to work. I run into my balcony and transform. I jump off my building into another. I stop and pull out my phone.

"Hellooooo." Kai says.

"Big trouble meet at the east building of the park." I say.

"Gotcha see ya there my Love." He says and hangs up the phone.

I laugh and wait for him to arrive in the pouring rain.
