The Shadow Hunter

Chapter Seven

When class ended I stand up and walk towards the door when I see a girl walk towards me. I see the girl that I've been observing stand up and grab her backpack, she starts walking away when I see her shake her arm like something burned her. I see her lift up her long sleeve to see something on her wrist. Was that the mark? She clutches her wrist fast. "Ugh, it burns!" I hear her say to herself. She starts to walk away when I walk to her and grab her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" I ask, she turns around to find me looking at her worried. She clutches her wrist behind her back.

"Yeah, I'm fine, it's nothing really. Um...thanks for asking." She says rather quickly and starts to walk away.

"I think I found her" I say quietly so no one could hear. I wonder if she's the lost princes because of her odd aura, I can't wait to find out if she is, I have so many questions, I really hope so, especially after what happened years ago... I should report this, although it's like she's half... Someone interrupts my thinking. It was that girl that was walking towards me.

"Hi, you new here aren't you?! My name is Marisa." She looks at me and bites the corner of her lip as she twists her hair around her finger. "Well if you need any help around the school just ask me okay." She said to me in a very flirting way as she slides her hand on my chest as she starts to walk away slowly. I put a fake smile Such an improper girl...

"Thanks for the offer." I say and walk away as I head for my Spanish class. I hate how they act like sluts would or they are Sluts. I walk in and stand at the door, the teacher looks at me and tells the students something in Spanish that I understood because I've been in Spanish classes for assignments as well as french and a few others...

"¡¿Puedo agarrar tu atención por favor?! Tenemos un nuevo estudiante." ("Can I get your attention please?! We have a new student.") She mentions me to enter.

All the girls start talking to their friends or just stare at me. I see the girl and our eyes meet. She looks away again. I look at her confused and worried. Why doesn't she look at me like the rest do, did I say something to offend her?

"Can you speak Spanish or do you want to speak English?" My teacher asks me.

"Um...I'll try speaking Spanish. Though it's been a long time since I have." I look at the class. "Hola, me llamo Pitch Night, y voy estar en tu clase." ("Hello, my name is Pitch Night, and I'm going to be in your class.")

The teacher claps and so do some of the students but mostly it was the girls clapping. The teacher starts speaking.

"Now Pitch there are three seats left, you may choose one and that will be your spot for the rest of the quarter. There's the one next to Shady, Shady can you raise your hand please." The teacher points at the girl that I've been looking at. So that's her name. Shady, what a nice name, it sounds familiar... She raises her hand and when she looks at me that I noticed her she puts her arm down. "Then there's a seat next to Shayla, Shayla can you raise your hand please." Shayla raises her hand but I don't pay attention to the rest. A girl named Carla also raised her hand but yet again the only thing I could think of was Shady. I have to find out if she's a shadow person.

I look at Shady and notice her searching in her backpack. I walk to the seat next to her and sit down. She looked surprised that I picked that seat. We look at each other, and she looked like she is trying to suppress her blushing but it was kind of failing. I hold out my hand to her.

"Hi, I hope to be good friends." I say. She grabs my hand slowly and nods.

"Yeah, same here." I smile and look at the board. When class ended Shady looked at me surprised that I new so much Spanish. She stands up and starts walking away when I grab her shoulder. She turns around and I look at her with a worried expression but then smirk as I notice the 'S' on her wrist. I grab her right wrist and looks at the swirly 'S'. So she is a shadow person, but something seems off.

"You have a tattoo?" I ask. She yanks away her arm back and holds her wrist.

"...It's none of your business." She says. I frown at her and look away.

"Sorry about that. I was...just wondering." I say and start walking away.

"Aagh!" I hear Shady yell. I turn around and notice her clutching her wrist with the shadow people tattoo. She looks like she was going to walk away but she didn't move. I sprint towards her sensing something was off about her by the way she's acting. I run to her and she looks up to me.

"Are you okay?!" I ask worried. She shake her head at last admitting that she wasn't okay. She looks like she's about to pass out and that's when she starts to fall back when I catch her. "I'm going to take you to the nurse." I say.

"Your new how...can you...possibly...find it." I smirk.

"I have my ways." I pick her up and starts carrying her to the nurses office.When we arrive I lay her down in one of the beds they have there. The nurse walks in and looks at me.

"Whats wrong? Can you tell me what happened?" I start to explain what happened to Shady to the nurse.
