Snippet #2379088

Keiran was walking a few steps behind Mrs. Brumfield and the other students, unfortunately neither his brother nor Melody were in his group. As Kiearan walked, Nox followed along, changing his shape in shadow form to emulate Kieran's shadow, keeping the humans from suspecting something strange from his lack of a shadow or it's weird shape. "I wonder what they're up to, and if they can get away, we're supposed to meet in the basement of the sweets shop. Maybe I should just go look for them." And with that thought Kieran's mind was made up. He waited for his opportunity and it arrived when Mrs. Brumfield abruptly stopped and stared at her hands. Kieran quickly glanced around making sure no one was looking at him and he joined Nox in shadow form.

"You ready buddy?" Kieran asked Nox, telepathically.

"If you are, although are you sure we should cross Mrs. Brumfield, your last detention wasn't a walk in the park." [i]

[i] "Detention in is a risk we take, I'm willing to risk it to get away from these bores." He thought and finally they left.

They moved on the ground and along walls, trying to keep to darker alley ways and other areas where strange shadows would not seem out of place. Although they were troublemakers they were smart troublemakers. They arrive at the sweets shop, but Kieran did not find his brother and friend. So he decided to look for them, he knew the approximate area they were supposed to be so he went there, still in shadow form. He found a small music shop and smiled, (well as close as an amorphous blob's shadow can smile) and went to enter the building. Before he got to the door he saw Melody leaving, then he saw Kirie pulling on Melody's hood and she proceeded to punch him, but he dodged it and proceeded to pull her back into the building.

Kirie gives Melody a speech about running off and stuff, Kieran wasn't listening. Kieran moved to the wall behind Kirie, he turned his shadow into the cartoon dragon he used the first time he and Melody really met. And began to dance just like then. He really hoped she saw him so that he didn't have to make himself known in a more substantial way.
