ch 4

During the night Jace woke up and started training his inner strength.

IT took him 11 years to complete the first layer witch made it so only 17 years old and up could compete with him in speed and strength. While training in inner strength was long and boring his 2nd gift was fun as can be. at first he thought it was just blending with the shadows but one day he was being chaced by a stray dog and while he was in the shadows he tripped when he thought the dog was going to get him he saw the dog walk right pass him like he wsnt there.

From then on through lots of trials and error he discovered not only can he literally become one with the shadow he can teleport with shadows or if people are watching make the shadows drag him foward making it look like he was running really fast. His favorite trick was throwing something and teleporting it with the shadows. He found his limitation was he had to be in contact with the item he wanted to move and cover it with shadow then he can throw it at will but controlling the shadows like that was made him very tired 3 times a day was his maxim he can also bring other living things into the shadows but only once a day for 3 minutes he discovered this when some kne tried to bully him and he gave them an attitude adjustment as the matrong kept on walking by.

Before he knew it he heard some one coming down stairs and into the kitchen. It was Janine she came down and started cooking pancakes. Jace slowly walked over and started washing the dishes she was done with. This made Janine smile and tell him that he could have left that for the maid and butler coming back today that sunday morning was the only day she personally cooked a meal for the family and that the maid and butler have off friday night till sunday night but are coming in early to get his room set up.

Soon as she finished speaking the door bell rang Steve yelled from upstairs that he would get it. A few minute later a middle aged man and woman came in and greeted Janine then Jace. Steve walked in behind them and introduced them as Aaron and Sylvia telling Jace that they are the maid and butler.

Jace gave both a friendly smile and thanked them in advance for cleaning and setting up his room. Aaron told him that it wasnt a problem and not to worry that he used to be an orphan him self and he was sent from home to home so he doesn't mind helping do this for him. Janine phone rang she quickly answered since it was Theo. He had accidentally pushed his wheelchair away when he tried to get into it and needed help.

Jace volunteered and went up to help him. Jace helped Theo get dressed and easily lifted Theo into his chair. Theo got embarrassed and friend explaining that he forgot to lock the wheels last night when he got out of it last night. Jace just smiled at him and told him it was no big deal Theo realizing Jace was still in his old clothes and probably didnt shower last night pointed at a all black shirt that his grandmother bought him a few weeks ago but was still to big for him and an all black pair of cargo shorts that he hardly wore and told Jace he could shower and change into those if he wanted witch he quickly agreed to.

Theo wheels himself down stairs as Jace after opening a few wrong doors find the bathroom and cleans him self then changes into his new clothes.
