A whistling whine pierced the air thickly. From behind a metal crate, one of his boys hoisted it, and two controlled it from their ends.

Then I saw them. The Shadowborn. Their formation stretched through the forest, precise and silent. Their armor was not forged, but grown, metal fused with flesh, their veins glowing faint red beneath the skin. The split wolf sigil burned across their chests like an open wound. And at their center, walking with deliberate calm, was Emory. My son. His hair was longer now, streaked with soot and silver. His face sharper, colder, shaped by something that had forgotten humanity. One eye glowed gold, the other black, swirling faintly like smoke behind glass.

he called at Emily. “Are you crazy man what if it kills her” Kiran called. “I remember I read something about it so trust me I know what am doing,” he said and I watched as Emily walked toward the shadow. I could hear her heart beating fast. She was scared, she walked slowly and the rustling of the dead leaves as she moved closer made me anxious about what would happen. She moved towards it and touched the shadow and immediately white light came from within her and the shadow turned from deep black to grey and it bowed down to her.

It was quiet for a few minutes and he finally said, “Tilly and I have absolutely no secrets. People like you and me … we can’t be with just anyone. It’s either one night stands, fake short term relationships or nothing. You don’t just find a Tilly on every corner. A woman that will accept you, that if you are totally honest with her … won’t be afraid of you. I never had someone to … to help me. To direct me, and it damn near killed me. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I call it my dark shadow … it’s a part of me, but it’s a part of me I can mostly keep hidden, that I can control.

Therefore, all she saw was the refraction of the shadow. Emilia grabbed a vase to protect her. She felt slightly more confident dealing with whatever was before her. She was trying to see inside the living room while stepping slowly. Then Emilia stopped in the middle of the room. Nothing happened there. Emilia then walked to a wall to find switch lights. Before her hand was able to reach it, Emilia gasped shockingly. Someone closed her mouth with a palm. "Stay quiet!" a whisper blew to Emilia's earlobe. ***

She takes my hand in hers and squeezes it gently. "We are werewolves, not monsters," she says softly. "Our pack is called the Shadows and is led by Gabriel Valley. He became our leader after his father's death some months ago." I sigh and turn to look at her. Her blue eyes look sad as she stares at me. "I promise you my child, you are not a monster. Being different is your greatest power," she whispers, grazing her fingers across my eyebrows. "You'll see," she adds with a faint smile. I stare at her drowning in my thoughts. I think about everything. Me. Them. The pack. I'd have sworn last night was just a dream but I know what I saw and felt. It was all too real. "Your father and I are going

Its eyes were as red as blood and its presence gives a chilling and horrifying feel. “The two witch kids...have you heard about the prophecy?” The twins looked at each other being puzzled. “Oh, I see, I would be glad that I will be the one to tell your fate...” The evil of shadows made them confused. “...if one of you succeeds to become the ruler of the separate worlds, it will be the end of everything.” As Falla moved her pace to her brother trying to hide at her twin's back, Talon eventually vanished and was nowhere to be found. The evil of shadows moved closer in her direction. She feels heaviness and high tension as the evil comes closer and closer to her.

Emilia asked, her heart racing with fear. Ryder hesitated before answering. "It's a shadow within you, Emilia. A dark presence that's been awakened by your powers. We need to get rid of it before it consumes you completely." Emilia felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that she had to face this shadow, but she was afraid of what she might find. Ryder led Emilia to a secret chamber deep within the Blackwood estate, a room that seemed to exist outside of time and space. The air was thick with the scent of incense, and the walls were adorned with ancient symbols that seemed to pulse with a mysterious energy.

“You’d run from your own shadow. She’s watching. Waiting. I can feel her claws tightening. Soon… none of you will be safe.” Luca stepped forward, his voice quiet but lethal. “Then start talking, Emilio. All of it. Now. Before you bleed out more than just your wrist.” I saw Emilio’s fingers twitch again. A silent hesitation. A crack in the mask. The air felt electric. The end of the lie was near. And this house… this family… would never be the same again.
