"I don't understand... I can go back to my friend... Right?" The shadow only looked at Sariah once she said that. "Look, listen... Jay is waiting for me and if I don't go, he's gonna get very lonely. I don't want him to feel lonely, so I'll get going now." She turned to leave but the shadow stood in front of her and shook it's head. "Why not?!" Sariah asked. "Listen, I'm going to go visit Jay and you can't stop me!" The shadow grabbed her. "Hey! Let me go!" It carried her and walked off to the side and grabbed a stick and doodled. It showed her and Jay. Something had apparently got Jay's scent and was trying to hunt him down. "So.. Jay is in danger?" The shadow nods. It whispered in her ear and told her what to do. She battled her feelings and her thoughts and was trying to think of a way around it, but if Jay was in danger, she had to protect him. He was her friend after all. "All right.. A week shouldn't hurt... What could go wrong?" She smiled nervously.
