love and shadows

two

sitting through the most boring class ever... math just the word makes me cringe. while I wait for the bell to ring I noticed a few shadows passing by nothing out of the ordinary, until I felt this heavy weight press down on me looking around I don't see anything at first but then something moved in the corner of the room. looking at it out of the corner of my eye, I swear I've seen this thing before I can't tell what it is I don't know if it was human or a demon,

its long fingers reached out and pointed at me I look around hoping it's pointing at someone else, but I didn't see anyone else the seat behind me was empty. not wanting this thing to know I could see it I turn my attention back to the front of the class.

about thirty minutes pass by and that thing is still standing in the corner by the door, finally realizing that the bell is ringing and that people are putting their books away and leaving the room,

packing up my stuff in my bag. I hate the fact that I have to walk by this thing, knowing its there, with a sigh I get up out of my seat and walk up to the front of the room, just as I'm walking through the door I feel a hand glide down my arm to my hand I feel it wrap it's hand around mine, not being able to control the shiver that run's down my spine, letting out a gasp I stop dead in my tracks and look at the shadow man...why does it feel like I know this thing, looking closely at the shadow I can make out facial features just as I'm about to try and talk to it I'm interrupted

" lex are you coming we have class in like five minutes "

looking back out the door I see skylar standing there with a confused look on his face. looking back to the shadow man I see that he's no longer there and no sign that he ever was, letting out a sigh of disappointment, there was something about this shadow that I cant explain, in a weird way I kind of felt safe and relaxed, I don't know what's wrong with me I shouldn't feel like that I never felt like that with other shadows.

" lex seriously we have to go we're almost late for class and you cant be late again"

" yeah,yeah I know lets go "

running a little ahead of him trying to shake the weird feeling of still being watched.

" so what were you looking at back there, was it another one of the shadows"

he asks in a slightly mocking tone " you know I don't like talking about them out in public "

I whisper to him " yeah I know, sorry"

" so do you want to come over tonight mom has to work late and I don't want to be home alone "

" can't got practice and then me and some of the guys are going to go grab a bite to eat your more than welcome to tag along i'll even buy you your fries"

" no it okay i'll just stay home maybe make tacos or something "

" are you sure I don't mind picking you up " " yeah I'm sure. I'll see you later I got to run or i'll be even more late then I already am

~fore hours later~

i haven't been able to shake the feeling of being watch and it has me wondering if the shadow that touched me, is still around and just out of sight or if I'm going crazy. deciding to just drop it and go home. school is finally over so I walk to the back doors of the school and walk out it takes you right out towards the football field. waving good bye to skylar while I turned around the side of the building.

the two mile walk home was hell its like a hundred degrees out and I'm dying, it's so hot!!

finally making it to my house I run up to the door unlocking it. pushing it open I rush inside slaming it shut and leaning against it letting the cold air from the air conditioner fan over my body.

throwing my back pack in the corner of the living room I go over to the kitchen looking in the fridge for something to eat, seeing my favorite food I grab the jar of pickles and set them on the counter along with everything I will need to make a sandwich, after making my sandwich I go back into the living room planning to start homework and maybe watch some Netflix. setting my food down on

the coffee table, realizing that I forgot something to drink I run back to the kitchen and fill up a glass with some ice water and go back to my sandwich. when I enter the living room I drop my glass and it shatters everywhere. there is some guy sitting on my couch eating my sandwich! screaming and running out of the room hiding behind a wall, looking around for a weapon hearing footsteps coming towards me I look to my right hoping there would be something there that I could hit him with, coming up empty.

the footsteps stop right next to me. slowly my looking to my left, I see him squatted down looking at me with a smirk on his shockingly handsome face.

" hi." he says ....." h-hi" I whisper " is there a reason why your hiding?"

" yeah " " do you want to tell me that reason?" he asks with a raised brow " can you umm get out of my house I don't know you, and to be honest you are scaring me...can you p-please back up "

with a slight nod to his head he stands up and takes a few steps back.

" see that's the thing cupcake you do know me and I know you I've been looking for you for the last seventeen years. but you might know me better like this"

he says. the next thing I know a dark shadow starts spinning around him incasing his body as the shadows stop spinning he takes a step forwards and out steps the same shadow man thing that touched my hand at school. gasping no it cant be I have to be losing my mind.

he snaps his fingers together, witch I think was more for effect than anything else. and now he's back to the handsome man with black shaggy hair dark green eyes, nice straight nose and full kiss able lips.

"how, how can that be possible are you a demon or are you human?" he chuckles " well I'm kind of both, you see I can be a shadow that only some people can see or I can be a human that every one can see. just like you."

" what. no not like me I cant do that I'm just a human " " you can do it you just don't know how but I will teach you " " you say you've been looking for me for seventeen years. but how you cant be any older than nineteen." "wrong but close, I'm over a hundred and nineteen years old and "

" that's not possible." "it is and I will show you every thing you will need to know to work with me "

" work with you! but I cant do anything like you can I'm just a human " " no your not but like I said I will show you everything you need to know."

there's a long silence before he finally says something again

" well I guess since I know your name you should probably should know you mine... I'm Damon or as some people like to call me, death..."
