A literal shadow is inches away from my face. And it talked. It talked. The shadow talked. It takes my brain a few seconds to comprehend that the shadow just talked but what it did I jump up and back away. 'What the...' It kind of looked like Alastor, I think. It had his figure and smile, though the eyes and smile were a solid blue. Everything else was black, y'know, cause it was a shadow.
"Who are you?" I watch cautiously as it moves around my room.
"ꀤꎭ ꍏ꒒ꍏꌚ꓄ꂦꋪꌚ ꌚꀍꍏꀷꂦꅐ." It answers. "ꅐꀍꏂꋪꏂ ꀷꀤꀷ ꌩꂦꀎ ᖘꀎ꓄ ꀤ꓄?"
"Put what?"
"꓄ꀍꏂ ꌚ꓄ꍏꎇꎇ, ꀷꀎꎭꎭꌩ. ꅐꀍꏂꋪꏂ ꀷꀤꀷ ꌩꂦꀎ ᖘꀎ꓄ ꂦꀎꋪ ꌚ꓄ꍏꎇꎇ?"
Alastors staff? "Okay, first of all, I'm not a dummy. Second, I have no clue what your talking about." I don't know if I could trust this shadow. If I loose this staff Alastor could potentially actually kill me.
"ꌩꏂꌚ ꌩꂦꀎ ꀷꂦ. ꀍꏂ ꁅꍏ꒦ꏂ ꀤ꓄ ꓄ꂦ ꌩꂦꀎ ꓄ꀍꏂ ꂦ꓄ꀍꏂꋪ ꀷꍏꌩ." Okay. How did he know what?
"And how can I trust you?" I sass, if this shadow kills me it may never find that staff.
"ꌩꂦꀎ ꓄ꋪꀎꌚ꓄ ꀍꀤꎭ. ꌩꂦꀎ ꅐꂦꈤꀷꏂꋪ ꅐꀍꌩ ꌃꀎ꓄ ꌩꂦꀎ ꀷꂦ."
Okay. How the heck did he know that? "What's your name?"
"ꀤ ꀷꂦꈤ꓄ ꀍꍏ꒦ꏂ ꂦꈤꏂ."
"You don't have a name?"
"ꈤꂦ. ꍏ꒒ꍏꌚ꓄ꂦꋪ ꈤꏂ꒦ꏂꋪ ꌃꂦ꓄ꀍꏂꋪꏂꀷ ꓄ꂦ ꁅꀤ꒦ꏂ ꎭꏂ ꂦꈤꏂ."
"Oh...uh. Why don't we give you one? Also, why do you need his staff in the first place?" I question.
"ꅐꏂ꒒꒒. ꀤ ꓄ꀍꂦꀎꁅꀍ꓄ ꀤ'ꀷ ꁅꋪꍏꌃ ꀤ꓄ ꎇꂦꋪ ꀍꀤꎭ. ꌃꀎ꓄ ꀤ꓄ ꌚꏂꏂꎭꌚ ꌩꂦꀎ ꍏꋪꏂꈤ꓄ ꌚꂦ ꀘꏂꏂꈤ ꍏꈤꀷ ꀍꍏꈤꀷꀤꈤꁅ ꀤ꓄ ꂦ꒦ꏂꋪ ꓄ꂦ ꎭꏂ ꌩꏂ꓄. ꂦꈤ ꓄ꀍꏂ ꂦ꓄ꀍꏂꋪ ꀍꍏꈤꀷ, ꍏ ꈤꍏꎭꏂ ꅐᖘꀎ꒒ꀷ ꌃꏂ ꈤꀤꏳꏂ."
My eyes light up, "Yay! Okay so, I was thinking maybe a synonym or something close to shadow. Since you're a shadow. So there's umbra?" I think, "But I don't really know about that."
"꓄ꀍꍏ꓄ ꂦꈤꏂ ꌚꂦꀎꈤꀷꌚ ꍏ ꒒ꀤ꓄꓄꒒ꏂ..." It tries to find a word.
"Weird?"
"ꌩꏂꍏꀍ."
"Hmmm, what about-" I take a second to think of more ideas, "Lurk? It's a unique name and doesn't quite mean shadow but shadows do always seem to lurk around. Well, if you want to go for a name similar to shadow." I ramble to myself.
"꒒ꀎꋪꀘ ꀤꌚ ꍏ ꈤꀤꏳꏂ ꈤꍏꎭꏂ. ꀤ ꒒ꀤꀘꏂ ꓄ꀍꍏ꓄ ꂦꈤꏂ."
"Lurk it is then!" I exclaim, clapping my hands together, smiling.
Lurk glides across the room, soon landing right next to me on the bed as he snuggles into my back, hugging me from behind. I get up off the bed, Lurk still lurking behind me I waddle to the closet, opening it up and scanning my eyes for a somewhat familiar red stick. Grabbing it, I hand it to Lurk. "Here." I smile.
"꓄ꀍꍏꈤꀘꌚ. ꀤ'꒒꒒ ꎭꍏꀘꏂ ꌚꀎꋪꏂ ꀍꏂ ꁅꏂ꓄ꌚ ꀤ꓄. ꀤ ꌚꀍꂦꀎ꒒ꀷ ᖘꋪꂦꌃꍏꌃ꒒ꌩ ꁅꂦ ꌃꏂꎇꂦꋪꏂ ꀍꏂ ꋪꏂꍏ꒒ꀤꁴꏂꌚ ꀤ'ꎭ ꁅꂦꈤꏂ." Lurk releases me and grabs the stick gently from my hands. He then disappears into thin air.

// Alastor POV //
"Where have you been?" I tilt my head, arms crossed as I stand in the middle of my room. My shadows been gone for who knows how long and just now comes back. With my staff.
"ꀤ ꅐꍏꌚ ꁅꋪꍏꌃꌃꀤꈤꁅ ꌩꂦꀎꋪ ꌚ꓄ꍏꎇꎇ ꎇꂦꋪ ꌩꂦꀎ. ꌩꂦꀎ'ꋪꏂ ꅐꏂ꒒ꏳꂦꎭꏂ."
"And how did you grab it?" I keep my composure. It had to have visited the girl to have gotten my staff for me.
"...ꀤ ꁅꂦ꓄ ꀤ꓄ ꎇꋪꂦꎭ ꌩ/ꈤ."
I sigh, "So you, without my permission, went to see Y/N and get my staff back?" I squint my eyes.
"ꌩꏂꌚ. ꌃꀎ꓄ ꌚꀍꏂ'ꌚ ꎇꀤꈤꏂ! ꅐꏂ ꓄ꍏ꒒ꀘꏂꀷ ꎇꂦꋪ ꍏ ꒒ꀤ꓄꓄꒒ꏂ! ꌚꀍꏂ ꀷꀤꀷꈤ'꓄ ꓄ꋪꀎꌚ꓄ ꎭꏂ ꍏ꓄ ꎇꀤꋪꌚ꓄ ꌚꂦ ꌚꀍꏂ ꋪꏂꎇꀎꌚꏂꀷ ꓄ꂦ ꓄ꏂ꒒꒒ ꎭꏂ ꅐꀍꏂꋪꏂ ꀤ꓄ ꅐꍏꌚ ꍏ꓄. ꌚꀍꏂ ꁅꍏ꒦ꏂ ꎭꏂ ꍏ ꈤꍏꎭꏂ." The shadow looks away.
"She w̶h̶a̶t̶?"
"ꌚꀍꏂ ꁅꍏ꒦ꏂ ꎭꏂ ꍏ ꈤꍏꎭꏂ."
I take a deep breath and wave my hand, making him disappear. 'She gave my shadow a name?'
Snapping my fingers I disappear. Planning an unexpected visit.
