"He is battling with his shadow, although he doesn't realise it. His shadow is very black and I fear if he doesn't acknowledge it's existence, it will destroy him."

Suddenly the page of the book turn. I sighed in defeat.

"Oh come on James, your not even reading this book. You're just holding it so you don't get kicked out by the librarian." I growled in frustration.

I knew he couldn't hear me but if I don't keep myself entertained in my stay in this purgatory-like state, I will probably go insane.

It's been two days since the 'oni' incident and Void won't acknowledge my existence. I can't hold physical items in my hands or fell anything but on the bright side I also don't get hungry or thirsty but this means I can't eat curly fries.

Suddenly James walked straight through me. I sighed and walked through one of the library walls into my math classroom. I have been following the pack many. To be honest I am scared of Void. I mean he did this to me and is currently in my body while I am out here in the open like a ghost. The part that gets to me the most is the fact none of the pack or even my family can tell that I am not me. No one from the pack is in my math class it's just me, a heap of random kids and ..Greenberg.

I watched as Mr Asshole... I mean Mr Asonlock rumbled on about x equals negative ten. To be honest, I was not listening, I was to business starring at the back of Void's head. Silently praying that if I did this long enough, I would suddenly be back inside my own body without that cocky motherfucker known as Void.

Suddenly I heard nothing. I couldn't hear the girls in the corner gossiping about Scott and how great his hair was. I couldn't hear Mr Asonlock rumbling on about his pen collection. I couldn't hear Greenberg constant paretic attempts of asking me out... Actually now that I think about it, the last one might be a blessing.

I watched as the second hand on the clock stopped. The clock stopped exactly 11:12 am. I looked around the classroom. Everything was still. It was like someone pressed the paused button.

"You know Stiles, I have always liked you." Void said as he faced me

"The boy who brings a bat to a fang fight."

"The boy who runs with wolves."

"The boy who hides many secretes."

"Tell me stiles did you ever really tell anyone what really happened to your mother?" Void asked me as a sickening smirk pulled across his lips? My lips? This not being in my body thing is very confusing.

Panic drowns my facial features,

"How did you get into my body?" I asked Void as I ignore his question.

"Answer a question with a question... Don't worry you don't have to tell me anything I can see it in your eyes." Void said with an evil chuckle

"We have always been joined... ever since what happened to you mother...when you scarified yourself to the Nemeton, you unlocked a door in your mind which allowed me to take control."

"Why me? Out of the millions of people on the Earth why are we joined?" I asked void putting on a brave face but deep down I truly feared the person in front of me.

A crackling laugh leaves his lips.

"The fates had a rather twisted sense of humour."

"You see stiles about 1000 years ago, I looked exactly like you right down to the most miNute detail, what is that show you like to watch call people who look like carbon copies of themselves?" Void asked Stiles

"Doppelgangers," I answered Void looking at him in disbelieve

Void was my Doppelganger.

"That's right Stiles but I am not human like you... I am something much older and much more dangerous." Void said with an evil smirk

"Please tell me you're not a Vampire."

"No Stiles I am not a Vampire... they are not real... I am a nogitsuna, an evil fox spirit if you will." Void said sitting down on top of his desk.

"What do you want?"

"I have been locked away for a very long time stiles and I am very hungry, you see as a nogitsuna I feed of pain, chaos and strife." Void said as I hear a growl come from his throat.

"If I so happen to get revenge as well... then that is just the icing on top of the cake isn't it?"

"Who do you want to get revenge on?" I asked as Void got up and put his finger in front of my face an waved it side to side.

"Sorry Stiles but you have used up your four questions for now."

"But I bet your curious to why no one else can hear you, aren't you Stiles?" said Void as a smile pulled on his lips

"Are you going to give me an answer or play more mind games?"

"I don't play games with you Stiles... that's what your friends are for." Said Void as he sat back down on his chair.

"You see Stiles... you're like the Boogie man... everyone knows who you are but no one believes in you." Void whispered in my ear causing me to freeze in fear.

Void turned back to face Mr Asonlock and I watch as suddenly the clock hands begin to move again. It's 11:13 am and the sounds of the classroom return as well as the movement of the people but I am still like a Ghost to them all. I walked through the wall of the math class back into the library where I found a corner and hide as the Void's said echo in my mind.

You're like the Boogie man... everyone knows who you are but no one believes in you.

I felt as a silent tear casketed down my pale cheek.
