When A Shadow Disappears
Jax's POV
I lay in my bed, thinking of my late friends. The curtains are open, so that the sun can light up my room. Most of my friends are dead, because of me. If I just didn't become friends with them then they wouldn't be dead. I sigh. Unknown has been acting strange again by ignoring me. There is a knock at my bedroom door. I stand up and walk over to the door. I place my hand onto the cold shinny doorknob.
"Don't," someone tells me, "whatever you do do not open that door. That thing is on the other side." I stare at the door. It could just be my dad, plus Unknown could just be lying to me. I twist the doorknob and pull the door open. My eyes go wide at the sight of a shadowy figure. It's tall and its skin is grey. The hair on this creature is black and the eyes are black as well. It is wearing black to match its hair and eyes. The creature starts to walk toward me. With every step it takes its speed increases. I walk backwards until I hit the wall. I start panicking. Someone appears in front of me. It's Unknown. "I told you not to open the door!"
"I know, but, I, um," I try to tell him, but I can't find the right words. He grabs me and steps backward. Quickly he jumps out of one of my windows. We land on the ground outside. He puts me down on the ground. I was uncut by the glass, but he did have a few cuts on him. He stands up and goes into a battle position. The monstrous creature jumps out of the window we broke and runs at Unknown. Unknown quickly runs at the monster. Unknown puts his knife in front of him as he charges for the creature. The shadow creature that has followed me for most of my life had something in one of its hands, but I can't make out what it is. They meet up with each other. They stop. Unknown falls to his knees while the shadow creature turns disappears. I can see him clutching his stomach. I stand up and run over to him. He is shaking not with fear, but with pain. He falls backwards and I catch him. I lat him onto my lap. A sharp piece of metal has been lodged into his stomach. "Unknown?"
"H-he poisoned it," he tells me. He chuckles. "I guess my time is up then." I shake my head.
"It's not your time," I tell him. He smiles weakly at me. How did this metal effect him so quickly? I unzip his jacket and lift up his shirt to see that the piece of metal wasn't just lodged into his skin, but that it was also sliced down. Blood poured from the gash that the stupid metal made. I put his shirt back down and I stare at him. "I can call 911." He shakes his head. He is a murderer, so calling an ambulance wouldn't be an option. "You really are going to die?" He nods weakly and slowly. I can see the life draining out of him. "Can I at least see your face?" He nods weakly and slowly, again. I gently pull his hood off. My eyes widen at the sight. "Dani!"
"Y-yup, it's m-me," he forces out. The kid I've had a crush on for ages has been with me the entire time. The kid I had a crush on is a murderer. The kid I had a crush on is dying.
"Don't speak, please save your energy," I tell him. He laughs softly. Hot tears well up in my eyes. He closes his eyes.
"I p-put my f-friend's house's address in y-your ph-phone, please go th-there. It's all I ask of y-you," he weakly tells me. I nod at what he said. "Goodbye Jax Rose River."
"Goodbye Dani," I reply to him. I wait until I can no longer feel his heart beating. I pick him up and move him to under a tree. I walk inside and write a note. The note said that I was running away. I grab my phone and start to head to the location of Dani's friend's house. A new journey is about to begin.
Christopher's POV
It's been a year since Jax ran away. Sometimes I walk behind her house. There is blood stained on one tree with "I will be back" carved into it. It can literally be from anyone, so I don't care. I know Jax is still alive. I've tried texting her, but I never get an answer. It does say that she read it though. I'll just have to wait for her to return home. I hope that will be soon.
(A/n) That is the end of this story. It was cringe and very trashy, but it's okay. I hope you enjoyed this book. Have a great day. Till we meet again. ~Tiny
