Shadow Wagner The Slayer - Do I Belong? (Book 1)

>Chapter Seven<

~Chapter Seven - Locked Up~

Scott's POV

Shadow was out doing what it is that she does right now, Travis is still sleeping, Aaren is watching the gates, Loyd is watching the plaza, Lord Sylvie and Margaret are making new potions to use against enemies. And I... I have a break. I'm in the guard tower to the east of the village. I pop my head up from my book when I heard the door start opening. "Scott, you here?" I hear Travis call out. "No, I've gone to go meet with the all mighty God. OF COURSE IM HERE!" I said sarcastically. "Alright, yeah, that was dumb. Hey, but for all I know, you could've gone out training on the training grounds." He states, walking in. I grunt and then get back to reading my book. Travis heads over to grab his armor and sword. A loud scream echoes through the village. We look at each other a nod, He sprints out the door and I pick up my sword and run after him.

When we make it to the gates, Shadow is leaning against the wall, exhausted. "What... What happened?!" I asked, out of breath myself. She sits straight up and scoffs at us, walking away. Whats her deal?

Shadow's POV

I'm being controlled... I let my guard down and a stupid imp got to me... How idiotic can I be? UGH! "What... What happened?!" Scott asks. I just scoff... Let me re-phrase that, IT scoffs and makes me walk away. I hate this so much. "So... How does it feel to be controlled?" He asks. "It sucks, thank you very much," I respond with a growl. "I'm going to get you locked up, or caught." He says sternly. I smile, knowing how to try and get this stupid possession out of his hands. Where did that imp get me again? I look at my right arm and see a small tattoo resembling an imp. Just make a small stab on the imp's chest in the tattoo... I pull out one of my daggers and stab the tattoo. I don't feel the pain because all pain goes to the imp. The mark disappears and he gets out of my head. I'll pass out soon, I know the deal, whatever, whatever.

I passed out and felt like being moved, I didn't bother to open my eyes because I didn't sleep last night, just hunted for food. I get set down and then whoever was here walked out.

 I hear someone shout nearby, the words inaudible. I jump out of my skin from fright.  I look in front of me and see bars. "Where in the divine..." I question myself slightly. "She's not up, eh? Finally caught her though." I hear a voice say. "She had her guard down, easy catch." Another says. "H-Hello?" I stutter. Two people walk in. "Hello, Slayer..." I growl. I remember him... "Luka..." He laughs while the other looks confused. "She knows ya' mate?" Luka stops laughing, leaving his face with a stupid smirk. "Out hunting at the same time once, didn't see each other after she found out who I worked for." My growling slows, making it seem a bit darker. Don't transform... DONT transform... DONT TRANSFORM! I haven't used my NightWalkers form in ages, and I'm not about to use it now... "Aww... Little puppy mad?" Luka teases. I can't stand him! "Get. Your. UGLY. Face. Out." I command calmly. "Tch, we have no reason to be here. We only came to see if you were awake." The two walk away. Curse this thieves guild. Luka is part of all this. When I found out he worked for Swift and Reckless, I left him and his petty heart alone.

I'm bored out of my mind, just sitting here... I hear something make a small ding. My ears perk up, so I can listen closer. Ding! I look to my cloak, and there a small amulet hangs out. Right! My communication amulet! I pull it out of its spot in my cloak and hang it before my face. "Shadow! Are you there?!" I don't respond, I heard someone coming. I quickly put the amulet back where it was before. "Shadow~" Luka calls in a sing-song voice. "What in the name of Nicole the Guardian do you want Luka?" He stands in front of my cell. "I'm gonna need you to empty your pockets that's what." I groan in anger. I knew this was coming! "I ain't giving you any-" I get cut off by an arrow flying past Luka's head, just barely missing. "DANG IT! IT MISSED!" I shout. "Why you little..." He gets knocked out before he can say more. I see an angry looking Victor behind where Luka stood. "Um... Hi?" I chuckle nervously. Victor sighs and looks at me sternly. "You almost gave us heart attacks." I look at him puzzled. " 'Us?' What do you mean by 'us'?"
