Light's streaks through the window as the young 16 year old boy was laying on his bed with crimson sheets. Alex opens his eyes seeing a white ceiling.

"I guess I should get up" he whispers to himself. He slowly gets off the bed and walks to the bathroom. As he strips his clothes off he looks behind him and looks in the mirror that was hanging on the wall and sees his pale white skin covered in scars covering his back.

He quickly gets in the bath cleaning any to all the invisible filth he thought... no felt he had on himself that he had. He rinsed his hair out feeling clean again.

When he gets out of the bath he turns the water off then grabs a towel and begins drying himself off. "Are you done bathing Alex? " Ty asks.

"I'll be out soon" Alex says in his usual calm voice. When he's sure he hears Ty walk away he walks back to the mirror.

"You want to talk to me... Shadow" he thinks. Just then the room gets dark. Nine blue flames surrounded him

"I just want to see how your doing, we haven't talked to each other as much as we use to" shadow says appearing behind Alex.

He turns around seeing a tall man with long silver hair wearing a long black robe. "I'm sorry Shadow it's been really chaotic with everyone moving closer to us" Alex says bowing to show respect.

Shadow rubs Alex's head with one of his tails. "You dont hace to bow i was only lonely, please raise your head little one" Shadow says.

"I promise to talk to you more often, I need to go" Alex says. The room turns back to the way it was before leaving him alone.

He quickly changed into black pants and a white button down shirt then looks at himself in the mirror and fixes his raven black hair.

He walks down the stairs seeing Jeremy cooking dinner while Ty was sitting at the table drinking coffee.

"There you are, we were beginning to worry about you" Ty says.

"Sorry I was relaxing and I sorta lost track of time" Alex says giving them a fake smile.

"Still you had us worried,  I almost burst in there you know" Jeremy says.

"Alright" Alex says.  They sit down and started eating occasionally talking about whatever came to mind.

"Tonight's the full moon, don't forget Alex" shadow says using his actual name.

"I know, I would never forget something like that"  Alex thinks making sure to act perfectly natural.
