Shadow Encounter

Hendrix P.O.V

I was in my apartment the whole day and I didn't go to school.

I really don't know why, but I got lazy and I kind of feeling weak and stress right now. After meeting with Elle and a little argument with that extra ordinary girl, I felt tired and just wanted to sleep the entire damn day.

"What the hell is happening?" I said to myself, thinking like crazy.

Whenever there is something that I don't like, It keeps on coming and whenever there is something that I wanted to get away from, it keeps getting on my way.

I hated this..

"Grams, why didn't you tell me anything about this., you make me believe that were fine and normal." I'm so kind of irritated right now while talking to my grandmothers picture frame.

I want to help my brother Elle, but I don't know how. I wanted to find Marco but I also don't know how. I know I promise Elle that I'm going to find Marco but where do I start? I have no idea.

and this annoying girl, she told me her name that she is Aurora like I care, I didn't even ask her to tell me that. She is also asking for my help of something that I even have no clue about..

Damn whats going on..

As I bother myself with a lot of unanswered questions and confusing myself at the same time, something caught my eye and instantly diverted my discomfit.

A picture frame with missing picture..

I know for sure that it was on my bag, I printed a copy of it last week. That was a picture of me with Marco and Elle, it is very special to me because they're not just my best of friends, they're my brothers.

but I can't find it, I already got everything out of my bag and nothing. Then I pause a while, as I try to trail my memory from last week, thinking where I went after I had printed that photo.

Then I realized that I placed it inside the book that I just finished reading, but where is the book.

"Oh, great.," I said after I remember that I have returned it to the school library.

I was thinking of taking it back and I'm thinking I should do that by tomorrow coz its already 9pm and everything in that school must be already close by now.

But I can't sleep., I really want to know if that photo is still there. Well actually I can just print it again if I want to but I wrote something at the back of that photo and that's the reason why it must return to me.

So get out of my room and start driving towards school. I parked somewhere in the dark so that no one would notice. Then, I know I can't pass through the main gate and it is impossible for the security to just let me in with such an invalid reason.

It is a private school and the fence or concrete wall is so high but my mind knows that it is not impossible for me to jump that high.

Like Aurora told me, she saw me fly up to the 30 feet tree with just a single jump, but I never do that again since high school.

I close my eyes and concentrate, then I jump and fail. The wall is just 20 feet high compare with the 30 feet tree before but why?.

I close my eyes and I try again.

I can't believe it took me five tries to get in., maybe I need more practice.

Anyways I need to hurry up or else someone might caught me and sue me for trespassing.

As I slowly open the door, and yes it was locked a while ago and I assume it wasn't so its not anymore, and I don't want to stress my brain out by asking how I did it, cause for me its the new normal and I have to think positive right now.

The Lib is so cold and the windows are shut, no air condition and no anything that could possibly make the room colder than how it suppose to be, and yeah this is the new normal.

As I walk toward the shelves, I knew I'm not alone and something is right there waiting.

And the moment I found the book, something I didn't see coming blast me with some kind of energy and I was forcefully threw backwards and break the shelves as I hit it.

I became dizzy for a moment but I have to protect myself, I immediately went to a corner to hid myself from what it is. I took a little peek, and I saw something unimaginable.

A smoke, a black smoke without any firmed shape but it is moving like a thinking creature.

But I don't have time for supernatural and extraordinary incident like this. I need that book, cause I know the photo that I'm looking for is inside it. I need to get it cause I didn't come here for nothing.

What should I do now..

As I took a little pick again, the big black moving smoke is heading towards the main door and then suddenly it stops...

The main door suddenly blew up by someone who look familiar. Of course the annoying, arrogant, extraordinary lady.

I don't know how she did it but she is speaking in tongues or chanting like a witch or something. Maybe she knew that black smoke all along and its like she really know what shes doing.

She has this amazing golden glowing tiny thin chain that could unimaginably ties up a smoke which I think it is so impossible in my own opinion but extraordinarily speaking its the new normal now, I guess.

Lastly, I saw the black smoke transform into something like a tornado and all of the sudden it was sucked by the book. So hows the book turns into some kind of vacuum or something.. Should I ask Aurora? or should I pretend that I don't need to know.

I know that everything is complicated right now and all I have to do is ask, but I don't understand myself. I rather put everything aside than do something to clear it out.

The photo flew away from the book as it closes after it sucked the monster in. I stood up and walk towards it and pick it up.

"Hey.. are you alright?" she said and I heard her.

But I don't think its time to talk about anything because I really don't feel right about everything right at this very moment.

Then I walked away.,

and this time she got my respect cause she didn't try to stop me.
