IT WAS A TIE

SO IM DOING THIS ONE

Edd sighed in relief. It seemed only one shadow was here today.

And it was the least destructive shadow.

The shadow in question was sitting on the kitchen counter, kicking its feet back and forth. Edd was still brewing his coffee when the shadow jumped down and walked over to him, with its usual odd sliding floating gait.

The shadow waved. THE was the first time a shadow had done such a thing. Edd waved back, confused. The shadow clapped its hands happily.

A breeze flew threw out the house.

The shadow stopped moving, ass seeing it was causing disruptions to the house.

Damn Edd wished he'd never moved here.

The shadow looked at Edd's coffee. It tapped its foot, as if saying 'Who the hell drinks coffee?'

"I like it."

Edd replied to the shadow. The shadow nodded. The first ever conversation with a shadow which was not Edd screaming at the devil haired one to stop breaking his stuff.

The only one with facial features was the spiked haired ones. It had empty void eyes that creeped Edd out.

This one though, this shadow he was talking to now, never dares to do so much as touch any of Edd's belongings.

Edd liked this shadow.

This shadow was also the tallest. And It hated mirrors. Edd didn't know why it hated mirrors, but it did.

"So uh- where are eyes and devil hair?"

The shadow shrugged. (I just thought of something, SHADOW PENIS- ok back to the story) It turned its head toward Edd's now finish cup of coffee, reminding him it was done.

"Oh. Thanks."

It made a nodding, shrugging, weird movement that Edd was pretty sure meant 'No problem.'

Edd smiled at it. It gave a thumbs up. Edd decided to be curious for a second.

"Hey- what's your name?"

He asked. It's body language suggested a moment of surprise.

It held its hand to its cheek like you would if you were blushing. (I DO IT OK) Edd was pretty sure it was blushing.

It looked down, as if thinking if a way of telling Edd its name. It looked up to where one of the mirrors used to be.

"Do you need a mirror?"

It nodded. Wow. He was getting along quite well with this shadow. Edd walked up to the bathroom, the shadow fallowing quickly in toe. He opened the door and the shadow flinched. This had been the first time it had seen a mirror since Edd moved in.

Edd almost screamed.

In the mirror was a bloody, bruised and injury covered man. He seemed to be about Edd's age, with ginger hair, freckles, and a small smile. The shadow was the man in the mirror.

The shadow walked up to the mirror and traced something.

Since the shadows reflections hand was covered in blood, it wrote something.

'M A T T'

"O-oh my god-"

The shadows reflection frowned. It's began to cry. The shadow itself had he body language of a crying person.

"I'm sorry! I-I was just surprised!"

The shadow continued crying.

"Did-did someone do this to you?"

No response.

"Are you ok?"

No response.

Edd stepped closer to the shadow called Matt.

For the first time ever, he touched a shadow.

He laid a hand on its shoulder.

It was as cold as ice.

It's head snapped around and looked at Edd.

It wrapped its arms around Edd.

And the freezing cold turned into a pleasant warmth.

"Thank you."

It whispered.

It disappeared.

Next time Edd saw it it was trying to get devil hair to stop tearing up the couch.
