Shade

I'm a shade, sad right. But wait, you don't know what that is. Well I had better explain. My mum is a shadow walker and my dad well I'm not sure but he must have been a shade otherwise how did I get here.
In two months I will be 18 and that's not a good thing, I mean yes I can finally get my driver’s license that's great but I have to make it through the exam. I know what you’re thinking, it’s just an exam right, wrong I have to pass the normal exams at school but these are different. The shadow exams. Odd name considering I'm a shade. They have three parts the strength exam, the willpower exam, and the hardest part the side exam. By side I mean good or bad, hero or villain.
I'm assuming my father didn't pass the side exam because my mother never talked about him and I know nothing about him. I'm assuming that if you don't pass the exams you are killed but then how did I get here was my dad an escape. I had read stories about people that had failed the exams and then run and hid they called them Kur. Maybe my father was out there somewhere looking for me. That made me worried and a little excited but I pushed that down like I had been doing with anything to do with my parents for the last year.
My mother had died in a car crash. Another driver had swerved out onto the other side of the road and ran straight into our car. She had told me that I was a shade and to get out of the car and get home before the police or anyone else saw me in the car. She also said you will get enough money in the will to pay for your food and other bills stay in our house and don't let anyone except you closest friends in.
You will pretend to be 18 and attend a new school on the other side of the world. You will live in the holiday house I own there. And then she died after handing me an envelope with my name scrawled across the front. I still haven't opened it I wanted to but I couldn't, I had to wait I'm not sure what for I just know I have to wait.
