Out Of The Shadow

the shadow

It was completely unfair. Everything that dad was putting me and little sammy through.

This shadow, that's the only way to describe it, came to me and helped me out.

It would help me make food warn me of when dad was almost back even help me clean.soon enough I trusted this shadow that seemed to follow me

The shadow was of a boy around my age with short but scraggly hair. I was worried it was some monster that my dad was training me to hunt, but the rock salt guns did not work and neither did anything else. Once it started comforting me and the one time sammy I began to trust it.

As I would drift off to sleep I saw the shadow come and tuck me in and sit in the corner watching over us it comforted me just the slightest to know that they were watching over me and my brother.

One day I had got an into an argument with John this argument had me sitting in the alley by just another ratty motel the time was about three o'clock and the sun was falling through the sky nearing the nightfall of winter at 6.

The shadow came once again. It came from the sky and just sat there with me and for the first time in the year I have known it, the shadow spoke to me.

The shadow told me of a wonderful place. One full of fun and magic and monsters that just wanted to play and be your friend. With swashbuckling pirates and little fairy friends. It spoke of treasure and help. Other little boys that just didn't want to take the burden that life has given them and so they run away to this magical land.

The shadow offered to take me and I was so thrilled I asked when we could leave and nightfall was the answer. he told me to be ready to fly away and never say goodbye after tonight because you never grow up and you never die.

I was sent back inside and told to bring nothing but my favorite clothes and dreams. The dreams are what allow you to believe and when you believe you just might be able to fly. Like the story of the angel, but there was none watching over me. At least not for a while and in a way the shadow was my guardian and protector so what if Angels really were made of shadow, that'd be so cool.

I sat at the motel desk and wrote a note in my book to my father and sammy. As it was almost 6 I walked outside with a smile on my face. I would be free.

I just hope I could find a way to get sammy there too but hes excited to grow up and become an adult, a lawyer actually, and I can't crush his dreams like that.

As the sun set at 6 the shadow flew to me and offered its hand to take me away to Neverland. There were no laws that kept us at bay. No money to be paid. Just working together and helping anyway you can. All kinds of creatures working together. From sirens to fairy to vampires and djin. And on Neverland they dont need to hurt anyone they can stay there and seek their dreams just like me.

The shadow takes my hand tight as a smile Grace's my face and tells me to think of happy things. As I close my eyes tight I do as it says and soon I feel my feet lift off the ground.

Now the shadow starts to drag me along as the family car drives back in the lot my dad gets out of the car quickly and swift shooting at the shadow. Hes trying to ruin my happiness. I think of the gun flying back and hitting my father in the damn face and it does.

The shadow seems shocked but just keeps tugging me along. I'm flying high in the sky but I dont fear falling at all. Not like how I was on the plane.

But then I hear sammy call my name. It's loud and clear like the breaking of glass in a silent house. The shadow just turn and tells me it cant bring more than one child from the same family and asks if I still want to come. With a tight and confident voice I tell the figure yes.

We fly high into the clouds going to the second star to the right. As I was told the direction the shadow said it must go because it cant be seen in the morning light, but that we would meet again and it would be under the largest moon.

As a parting gift the shadow told me a tip that I should change my name because the winchester's weren't very well liked, even on Neverland.I hope I can change it round and hopefully get used to it.

Neverland is a place of new stories and adventure and I'm shure that mines really about to begin.
