Silas leaned back, wincing slightly as the movement pulled at his wounds. “Shadow Weaving,” he said, the term hanging heavy in the air between them. “It’s an ancient vampire art—a way of manipulating darkness itself.” A chill ran down her spine—goosebumps prickling along her arms. “Manipulating darkness?” she echoed, her voice barely above a whisper.

I shouted with the last strength I had left. I could feel the pain tearing through my body, and what little strength I had left slowly drained away. My knees went soft and my eyes blurred.

She napped herself out of her fantasy She took off her shoes and snuck quietly into the living room careful not to bang the door, But when she turned around and her eyes met with three other pairs, two of them shinning with anticipation while the other scowled with spurn, her plan of making a quiet entrance went up in smoke. “Hello everyone,” Amanda grimaced “It smells like a walk of shame in here,” Barack sniffed the air dramatically, while Angela and Mercy broke into peals of laughter. “Tit tat,” Barack clucked his tongue contemptuously “I knew you had a concealed schema, I revoke your sainthood,” he chimed in as he took the flip flops from her.

They were growing closer, their shouts echoing ominously through the trees. Just as they were on the brink of capturing me, my foot slipped over the edge of a hidden crevasse. Panic enveloped me as I tried to regain my balance, but it was too late. Darkness swallowed me as I tumbled into the depths, my consciousness slipping away.

I step over the bridge that connects us to the human world, It feels like in wading through water. The current pushing me back. The air becomes thick making it difficult to breath. I keep pushing forward, the more I push the harder it becomes. Just when I think I cannot cross over, a bright light shines out through a crack in the void. Continuing forward finally reaching the source of the light and squeeze myself through. I fall forward and land on my hands and knees with loud thud.

Working out six hours a day, every day, and working on an eight-hour shift every night, took it's toll on him very quickly. Ever since a colleague of his suggested enhancers to boost his energy, he was able to add more hours at the gym and more hours on his shifts, and could still hang out at bars afterward.

"That’s not a shadow. That’s a Negative-Resonance Leak.

Not feared. But collaborative. Beautiful.
