Bond of Shadow (2).

"Let me become your shadow..."

"Pardon?"

Cain almost couldn't believe his ears. How could he? After all, these were the last words he would have expected to hear from anyone, especially Evangeline...

"I have put some thought into it. Seeing how we both fight, I have realized that it would do us both immeasurable good if we worked together from now on. I will be the shadow, controlling you from the darkness. If we do this, then we might just be able to rule the world one day."

Cain was convinced...

'Yeah. She had done insane for sure.'

There was no other way to explain it. Why else would she be saying such things?

"Did you fall and hit your head recently?" Cain asked cautiously.

Evangeline shook her head full of white hair and continued, still staring at him completely serious.

"I am being serious. You need me, and I need you. Think of it as a mutually beneficial relationship."
