pain and wish ing he could make it go away. “ It ’ s too late to think about what ’ s already been done. Just concentrate on what needs to get done. You know we are on your side , no matter what it takes. ”
    I know. I’ve asked too much .
    “ You would do the same for us . That ’ s what friends are for . ”
    Thanks .
    “ You can give me a hug next time. ” Davin laughed out loud. “ Before I forget, what are the dark shadows? ”
    Before our time, the first group of Earth angels massively procreated with the humans to create an army. Their intentions were to bring down the Twelve and take over Crossroads. Though these Earth angels are not as powerful, they had help. Somehow , they summoned one of God ’ s first angels that had fallen. When the Royal Council found out, the Earth Angels ’ s ouls were stripped , along with those of their children. T heir physical entities were turned into shadows, cast away into the Abyss. They are harmless to angels because they can ’ t take our souls, but they can take human souls and inject themselves into their bodies. If that happens then we have a problem. This also means the dark shadows were summoned by a powerful angel.
    “ So…you knew all that time the shadows would not harm Austin. ”
    Y eah…I was playing him.
    Davin laughed out loud. “ You do have a sense of humor…sometimes. That was way cool what you did to Austin, making him think he was in danger. Come back and visit soon. I miss bothering you. ”
    Michael chuckle d . You know I will. Peace out dude!

Chapter 6

    My heart thumps faster and I feel tingles down my spine, the kind of tingle that tells you that you’re in love, or that you have a crush. I can’t see his face, only a figure, like an illuminated shadow. My instinct tells me that I know him , but I haven’t the slightest clue who he is, or why he is here. Who is this person that has me completely enthralled? I want to know so I move closer, but the closer I get the further he is away from me, and the light around him dims.
    “I’m here,” he says. “I’ll always be here.” He starts to fade, leaving my world.
    “No. Come back. Who are you?” It was too late. He was gone.
    Now it’s pitch black and darkness engulfs me. I feel a sense of tranquility, but the feeling disappears when I hear another voice. “I’m coming for you,” it says with a low wicked whisper.
     
    The tone not only disturbed my sleep, it freaked me out , sending icy chills down my spine , because I knew from the depth s of my soul it was something malic ious . I tossed and turned, tangled inside the sheets, trying to calm my nerve s and trying to wake up from the nightmare. Who was calling me? I couldn ’ t recognize the voice.

    It was getting closer to my chest by the second and terror emanated from every inch of me. Scared out of my wits, I screamed from the top of my lungs, but my voice wouldn ’ t carry. Now I was covered from head to toe and I felt short of air , h eaving , p anting. I knew I was dreaming, but I couldn ’ t make myself wake up. In complete darkness, unable to move and unable to breathe, I
