Casting Shadows (a Creepypasta book)

Stolen in the Dream World

I looked out the window, Katrina was out on a killing just as most everyone else, I looked down at the bottom of the window seal, the paint under it was starting to peel I picked off a long strip not being able to help it. I threw it away in a trash can before walking back through the hallways, BEN had basically forced Spyro to kill someone with him so I was the only person in the house I heard something behind me as I quickly turned around I felt something breath on my neck. I started to transform but before I could a hand was over my mouth and the breathing was in my ear.

"If you want to transform, you will die." The thing responsible for the breathing talked. I nodded slowly, my body was still tense, by the grip and voice I could tell it was a female. I felt something rise around me as I clenched my eyes shut. "You can open your eyes, I have a surprise." The voice said slyly. I opened my eyes slowly to see a familiar dungeon.

"Here again?" I asked, sighing, "great." I felt a sharp smack on my
Wrist as it started burning.

"Don't act like your hot, I could kill you on the spot." The female hissed, I turned around to see a girl with light blue hair and black clothes on.

"So you must be Black Uni." I said as I looked her up and down, she nodded as turned away. "You know they're coming for me. They'll save me." I said to her, she turned around smirking.

"You can think that, but it the chances are fat." A hand was suddenly around my waist and my hands were held together, the shackles falling off to the ground.

"Your going to get to see Zalgo." The voice said, I nodded slowly and let them walk me to Zalgo's throne room.

"Ah Shadow. Should of killed you earlier." Zalgo snarled, I attempted to transform, till I heard a crack of a whip and a stinging on my back. I did not want to go through this again. I whimpered as I stopped struggling and I looked up.

"Why can't we be peaceful?" I asked him, he laughed.

"Not till I win."

"Why do you have to win?" I asked him.

"If I lose this no one will fear me." He responded, he reminded me of Icy.

"Please just let me go, what do you want?" I asked him, he looked at my hand.

"Give me the ring." He commanded, I shook my head, probably not my best desision because soon after the whip cracked again and I fell to the ground in pain, "shadow, we can do this by force, or you can simply hand it over, simple." I raised my head from its fallen position, shaking it. Someone grabbed my hand and pulled the ring from my finger followed by a slap and three more hits. I whimpered in pain, it ripped my clothing reveling the cuts to the toxic putrid air, burning them intensely. I heard someone yell something else before I blacked out.

I opened my eyes slowly, I was laying in the hallway, had it all been a dream. I turned onto my back, as it touched the carpet it started burning, I groaned in pain as I rolled back onto my side. On my hand the ring was gone, I mumbled things under my breath, converting strength to stand up. At one point I gave up, laying on my side I listen, hoping someone would come help me, preferably Slender, to my luck BEN opened the door.

"Shadow?" Spyro said as she entered, I grabbed my cloak that laid next to me and wrapped it around myself, cringing as it touched my back.

"Will you help me up, I, uh, fell." I said, BEN laughed.

"Pare you getting old Shadow?" BEN asked. Spyro looked at me.

"You're hurt." Spyro told me, I shook my head.

"I'm fine."

"What happened?"

"I don't know, just help me up." BEN walked over and lifted me up, he set me on my feet, I fell from my weakened legs and gripped onto his shirt before I fell.

"Help her." Spyro ordered BEN, he looked at her.

"Why?"

"Oh my god BEN you're so oblivious, just do as I say." She looked at me, "help her stay standing or carry her." He nodded and helped me stay up, the door opened and closed again. Please be Slender.

"Shadow what happened?" Katrina asked when she saw me. I shook my head.

"Not important, where's Slender?"

"Shadow, your ring!" Spyro said looking at my hand, I nodded.

"I know, I know, it's gone, where's Slender?" Everyone shrugged, "you all are useless." I mumbled as I grabbed onto the door handle to support my wait and walked over to my room, I got into bed and laid on my stomach so not to irritate my hurt back. I stared at the ceiling thinking before closing my eyes and going to sleep.

I was shook awake by Slender who stood over me. "They said something was wrong." He told me, I nodded and started telling him everything that happened, as I got to the end he started pulling of my cloak, he looked at the cuts and lightly touched my back, clenching my teeth I sucked in air as it stung, he pulled back his hand so not to hurt me. Someone knocked on the door quietly, Slender let him in, it was Spyro.

"I made a potion, it'll heal your cuts." Spyro told me softly, I nodded as she started dabbing it into my cuts I slowly felt them began to heal. I finely sat up.

"Never mind that. They took my ring." I looked at their faces, blank expressions on both of them.
