Meeting (Chapter 1)

Double

S

  I start picking up the papers on the floor.

  They were everywhere.  Under the couch, spilled all over the coffee table.

  I stack them neatly, grabbing my inkwell and quill.

  I don't know where to start.  Usually I just get into it, but I can't.

  All I can think about is her.

  Is she okay?  When will she be in her prime?

  I just get to work, ignoring everything.

  Week later

  I got more and more distant with everyone.

  My shadows noticed this.

  "Hey, you alright?"  One of them asked just as they were walking to thier assigned door.

  I shake my head.  "Im still worried about her."

  "Then go visit her. You have plenty of time while we are all away."

  He was right.  "Thanks."

  He smiled, walking through his door.

  I waited till everyone was at thier assigned human before I left.

  I walked to the door, but it was locked.

  Trying to go somewhere?

  That was my voice. But I didn't say anything.

  "Who said that?"  I say, looking all around.

  Oh, wouldn't you like to know?

  "Kind of why I asked."

  I heard snarling, then I was thrown back into a wall.

  My hands were pinned.

  I couldn't move.

  I try reaching for her blade.

  "Don't try anything."

  I look up, and it's me.

  "Who are you?"  I snarl, feeling my fangs grow.

  He chuckles. "Just someone who wants some payback."

  Payback?  Payback?!?!?!

  "What do you want from me?"

  He smiles, showing my snow-white teeth.

  "You to watch as I take the thing you care about most."

  Moon.

  "Ah, he gets it!"  My double laughs, grabbing my neck.

  "Don't touch her...." I wheeze, most air escaping me.

  "That's kind of the point, isn't it?" He smiles wider, cocking his head to the side.
