Madness: Shadows Tales

the boy and his shadow part4

6
Rory spent two days in the empty well getting to know his shadow. The shadow had told him," you know im not bad. Im just like you. I came from your existence. We're two sides of the same coin. Flip us heads or tails. The outcomes the same."
Rory asked him" if we're both on the same side. Then what did you do when you left that day?"
  The shadow answered in its low pitch hum," those two boys. I ate there shade. They'll feel the pain of our brotherhood. They mess with you they mess with me. I didnt kill them. I took an essence from them. A small part of them. The part that holds sanity. Left the soul crushing for you. Lets say if someone's in a coma. Is there body still alive? Yes! When technically their mind is dead or sleeping? Still yes"
Rory replied in a pitiful stuck in a well voice,"your cryptic but i understand. I still think its bad tho. You can't go around doing that to people."
   Rory sent a feeling to the shadow that said we gotta be good but didnt think this thing knew what good was. A child still in some aspects of life trying to understand life itself like rory himself but rory had an amazing support system. His father herald. The shadow seemed as tho it had no one but rory. The feeling he sent was a wholesome feeling the kind you get when you wake up in the middle of night sweating from a nightmare and your mother hugs you telling you everythings gonna be ok.
The shadow felt this answering" i got mad. I dont know. I just flew off the handle. I know what type of person you are. I can be that too. We are one. It must stay that way for us to survive. Your mom and brother want to release the monsters of eden.
Rory replied"how do we stop them" the shadow replied," i dont know."

When rory had been heaved into the well. he had bumped his head,twisted his arm behind his back clipping it onto the wall hearing it pop. He didnt feel any pain. As a matter of fact after an hour of being down there. it had seemed to pop back into place and everything about him seemed healthy.
    That first night he was hungry and after talking to his shadow. The top of the well had opened. Rory couldnt see who it was. as it was the middle of the night. All rory had seen was darkness the whole time he was down there. He heard his brothers voice"hey bud you ready to help the cause or do you want to sit in paradise a lil longer? Later the show starts. Trust me you'd rather say yes now. Its your last chance."
  Rory knowing whatever he wanted was not good relied,"no im never helping you"
Robert laughed throwing a bag down as rory moved thinking he'd get hit in the head but his shadow had stopped it in mid air telling rory its infront of us.
Rory opened the beg to find a flashlight,sandwich,chips and a jug of water. He heard robert hollar his annoying laugh saying" your in for a treat have fun fucker"

Rory turned on the flashlight. He looked all over. as the well was 6 ft around in every direction. There were grey rocks everywhere. the eye could see. Until he came to one spot. There where hieroglyphics, silver glowing ghosts drawn into the rock. The ghosts where more of demons with long claws shadow bodies and deep maroon eyes that seemed to glow right into your eyes.
  Rory's shadow spoke up," Only you can open it!"
Rory replied anxiously not wanting to actually know but he thought"im deep in shit! I might as well go all the way down" but said "how" the shadow in its hum heard in rory's head replied "your purity! Use your power. You have power like they do. Your is stronger tho. Trust in it. You gotta make the transformation or we're fucked"
  Rory stared back into the deep maroon eyes of those creepy looking things on the wall. He concentrated till he heard a noice in his head that seemed to pop. as his eyes then grew foggy. His mind was clear but everything around him was in a fog a silvery haze. Rory felt as tho he was 100 ft tall. Invinsible his shadows eyes had changed to silver too.
  Then the maroon eyes lit up and rory and the things exchanged glances. The wall started to tremble an earthquake sensation that seemed to grow as the marroon smoke came out the eyes of the things. The two different smokes filled up the whole well.
  A boom sound happened next. as the top wooden hatch had been blown out by a tornado. an invisible one and all the smoke dissipated out of the wall.
  Rory turned his flashlight on. He seen the wall had been blown open. No silver demon creatures with scary red eyes. Just a clearing that led down a long stone passage that branched into 5 different direction. Each with reddish grey tinted glowing veins that ran there course throughout the whole place intersecting connecting. They where small but there where 100s of lines running a course but to where?
So many choices. Rory didnt need his flashlight. for it was lit up like a christmas tree. They'd flash black or grey every couple of seconds.
