SHADOWERS: 'OF THE TWELVE REALMS'

Chapter Twenty nine

I could end all this by handing him to Albert, telling him I found what attacked Cosmon and Rose~ Anne, the other day. However, what if the little monster decided to go all Antman and murder Albert. Then what if I call animal control before all that happens. So maybe hoax it then hand it over to animal control. That would be like back stabbing, I gave it my word on safe keeping it. Would I do it? Maybe it was. . .

Just a thought.

I held the sides of my jacket and adjusted it, as I looked back at it, it was just about staring at me the entire time, at the dark corner, where light faintly loomed, it looked like a tiny shadow in the dark with it's glowing, violet eyes. What are the odds of it being a wraith, one of those shadower creatures it was going on about.

''Why you starin'?'' It asked. My locker thundered with it's deep bass voice, almost fell like it was in an empty tin.

I hadn't noticed, that I had been staring at it for that long, my eyes left it immediately and looked left down at the hallway, it was relatively quiet as students walked about, some with their heads dug in their own lockers, others getting to class, others just getting in, I had just ten minutes left before my first class commenced.

''I dunno know. You tell me.'' I started. ''I found you staring at me.''

''Hmph. When I was transported from you're dungeon, to here you skipped the part where you tell me where you were takin' me. ''

''I didn't think you wanted to know, you seemed like you just wanted to get out, I took a guess to anywhere I'd go. Not so bad being fastidious, eh?'' I said, leaning in pretending like I was grabbing something from my locker as I spoke lowly to it.

''How long are we here?'' It asked. Wading it's focus to my books slanting at it's opposite side.

I straightened my left arm, sideways, pushing back my jacket, looking at my watch.

''Seven more hours. Not forgetting I have fence practice after school, make that eight.'' I said swiftly.

It Leaned back, frazzledly, it had this flat bored look on it's face, now, it's ears hung low grimly, it folded it's arms to it's chest, and spread it's legs. My lips cut into a smirk, I got this feeling rolling up deep in my gut, lightly faint and tumultuous, great and amusing, this is what it felt like to annoy someone you utterly disliked to shreds and like every second of it.

I heard it make a gruff sound at the back of it's thought in irk. Which only made me want to continue, burdening it.

''My dungeon is starting to look alot more capacious, huh? I hope you're good with confine spaces cause you're going to be here for quite some time, believe I, you'll love the solitude. '' My smile only seemed to increase, watching it look this miserable only seemed to lighten my mood.

It breathed out, short loud breaths through it's nostrils, it gazed below, unnerved, I waried at it, strange how much I liked to see it all sad and quiet. But something quivered in it's gloom, something started to loom in, dim but becoming bright, like the uprising of dawn, it's expression fell, and I saw its lips cut into a smirk.

''You're right It is better here. All alone. No more seein' thar twisted pitchfork face of yours or havin' to listen to you utter any ofer stupid fings, you just can't seem to help yourself to ask. Brilliantly how the creators favor I, even in this Shit hole. '' It uttered, picking at it's nails now.

The gap in my mouth slowly shut as I gnashed my teeth and clinched my jawline, my fist clenched, just as I tightened my features, on my face, cold and hard, my darks eyes glowered at it.
