That Shadow (PHAN)

Part two

Dan P.O.V

I opened my eyes to awake to darkness and coldness. Phil had left sometime in the night and it was still the middle of the night. I heard shuffling in the lounge and the slight scream from the kettle. I could do for some tea. I dragged myself out of bed changing from boxers to my sweats. I rummaged through the wardrobe looking for a sweatshirt, but no luck. I just then walked to Phil's room and found his yellow Jake the Dog sweatshirt on the desk so I just threw that on.

I walked into the kitchen to see Phil pouring two cups of tea, he must of heard me.

"You felling better?" He said without even turning to look at me, already preoccupied with the tea. I tried to remember what had happened.

" I think," I was trying to think what had happened, why did I feel frightened inside. "Phil, all I remember was me collapsing when we got home and the party, what happened?" Phil turned and handed me the warm mug filled with tea. His face turned red and he looked almost sorry for me. Oh God What Did I Do?!?

"Well umm," that's not a good start. " we started to walk home from the party, and on the the way home someone scared us, a bad person." I started to piece together everything while Phil was talking. " we left and I was making sure you got home cause you were, you know, tipsy. And, well" he gulped " you wondered about three meters ahead and you screamed and fell to the floor. I ran up and checked to see what had happened and there was a guy in the near by bush. He, um, he jumped down and looked like he had brass knuckles. You backed up to my leg and didn't move and he came towards us, and then since a couple other people were leaving the ran up and the guy ran off. Everyone asked what happened and you were all white we all thought you were in shock."

I turned away I didn't need to hear the rest, I remembered that part. We got home and I was hyperventilating and I calmed down and slept until I woke and the collapsed and such.

London was a scary place, we didn't hear too much about this sort of stuff, but it happens. I was thinking back to my dreams, I kept seeing the shadow. I couldn't think of what he looked like, just the shadow. I walked to the table and sat in the grey chair, and Phil sat in the blue one. The other chairs were only sat on when we had company.

Phil P.O.V

I was horrified from last night. I didn't think I was ever going to fall asleep again until Dan was with me. I was the weaker one here. Dan protects me most the time, and every now and then I take care of him. I sipped my tea, it burned my mouth, but I didn't care. I looked up and saw Dan, the color completely washed out of him. The only other time I saw him like this was when we were walking out at night.

Dan was the strong one, I didn't think he really had fears, I know he hates those imaginary creates that define nature, but that's normal. Was he afraid of the dark? I wanted to test this without it being obvious. I knew a storm would be coming in, so we would get a lot of wind and rain. The weather lady said their would probably be a blackout. Did I want to test him then? We will stay at home and I'll just see what happens.
