Me And My Shadows Cast Novels & Stories

The moon… It's part of this, too. A sudden memory, sharp and clear, appeared in my thoughts. Was it a dream? A vision? A shadowy figure, fully cloaked, using a power that felt strangely, deeply familiar to me. A power that bent and obeyed their quiet command. The whispers grew louder, a deep hum. Who could that be? Shadows. They weren’t just the absence of light, the void where nothing existed. They were a real force, a weapon, a shield. My force. A clear, cold understanding cut through my lingering fear. I can make them do what I want.

It roiled and swirled then spluttered and finally gave out. I sank to the floor in exhaustion. All my bones and muscles hurt like I had just worked out and lifted a ton of weight, even though the shadows had felt weightless. “Is that all you plan to do?” Margery sneered as she hit the branch hard on the floor again. “UP! You go again!” I groaned but listened to the grouchy bitch. “Again!” “Again!” “Again!” I spent hours practising to summon my shadows and take them back in until I could bring them out at will and dissipate them.

Heads turned. Every eye landed on me and my two lethal shadows.

He wasn’t touching me, but his presence anchored me, his steady heartbeat somehow syncing with mine despite the chaos around me. I forced myself to breathe. “I’m not afraid of you,” I told the shadows, voice trembling but firm. They flickered. “You hide truths,” one hissed, voice like wind through broken glass. “You deny yourself.” “I acknowledge them,” I said, stepping forward. “But I do not let them control me.” The shadows surged, spinning faster, pressing inward, folding the space around me. The walls bent, colors flaring and twisting. The light beneath my feet pulsed violently, threatening to throw me off balance.

I finally got indisputable evidence - MY SHADOW. Everyone else's shadow was visible on the ground but no matter how much I looked, I couldn't find mine. I ran into my chambers and met Stella re-organizing my already organized room. "Stella! I told you I was strange but you'd never believe me." I exclaimed. "What do you mean by that?" Stella asked worriedly. "My shadow. It's invi…" My voice trailed off as I looked down to find my shadow staring back at me. "What shadow are you talking about?" Stella asked curiously.

He stood firm, every muscle coiled, every movement calculated, every instinct aligned with the safety of the group. And I… I faced the shadow of myself, distorted, twisted into a reflection of my fears and weaknesses. It whispered, taunted, and tried to manipulate me into betraying the others. But I refused. I clutched the flash drive, focusing on Elliot’s unwavering gaze, Marcus’s precision, Liam’s protective presence. Step by step, strike by strike, we fought the shadows, not just physically but emotionally. Each blow, each choice reinforced our trust, our unity, and our resilience. The chamber shook violently as the shadows screeched and twisted, then finally dissipated into harmless mist

Aren't you afraid of me? When he asked, my heart disintegrated, then erupted with shattered pieces, sending a loud, thunderous explosion into my chest, sending chills down my spine. His eyes were blood red, and when I briefly caught a peek at them, all I could make out was emptiness. I was standing next to such a sterile individual who was devoid of any emotions and incapable of feeling anything. His soothing voice kind of lured you in while also sending chills down your spine. He had rosy lips. His voice could have easily put someone into an unbreakable trance, but here I was in his presence holding onto my sanity.

The reason my heart beats, the reason I can breathe, the only thing that keeps the darkness from swallowing me whole. The only force strong enough to keep me from becoming the monster the world has made me.

Ben said his entire body shaking. “It’s simple Ben, we set you up, and Lucy told you what we needed you to know. We also told everyone you have to do your bidding about the way you do things. You don’t care about anyone, not even your own family. Everything you do is tainted by your greed and lust for more money than you can spend. MP stands for Maddison Peter, that’s me.” Maddy spoke softly. “Look bitch…” Ben started.

Obstacles that could be overcome, but how? Matthias stood still and watched as she continued down the path and noticed that she turned around again, seeking one last glance at him before she disappeared from view. He knew right then and there that he needed to win her over and quickly. He needed a plan to win her over. Immediately! There was no time to waste! Time was of the essence. But how? Pure and simple, manipulation. Manipulation. Reader Notes: Welcome to the world of Das Schatten, aka, the Shadows. The Schatten can turn into shadows and travel through walls and objects, unless they are bound with silver chains.
