All Chapters of Shadow Dweller: The Coming of The Light: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

             Grabbing her books off the table, Ivy headed to her locker. It was Friday, she had three papers to write and some math homework. Grabbing the books, she needed from her locker, she headed out to the parking lot, where she spotted Drake Greenwood, her longtime crush, and his evil girlfriend Ashley.            Shivers ran down her back, Ashley looked in her direction, Ivy quickly looked away.            “Loser!” Ashley yelled in Ivy's direction.            She quickly ran across the street, her heart slowed down. Walking through the park to get to her house, she knew her parents wouldn't be home for a few hours, so she had some time to relax before her mother nagged on her about doing her homework, or dishes.             Halloween was two days away, one of Ivy’s favorite holi

              Ivy couldn’t sit up anymore. It was like she was paralyzed from the waist down. “Just let me see if my dad is okay, please?” she begged.            “Sorry, honey, he’s going to die whether you get him some help or not. I've injected him with a deadly poison, he WILL die.” He said walking towards her. “Let me help you.” He said pulling her to her feet and helping her to her father’s side.            “Dad?” Ivy whispered in his ear.            He opened his eyes and met her for a moment. “Baby, I'm so sorry about this. Your mother and I thought this day would never come. We were retired for many years. I was approached at work about them maybe coming for us. I didn’t think it would happen,” he managed to say.            Ivy kissed him on the forehead. “Dad, it’s okay, just tell m

           Stacy walked into the cafeteria, “Oh, look, the murderer has come to lunch. People, she threatened to kill me when she first got here this morning. Anyone who kicks her ass will be a part of my family.” She looked at Ivy. “Well, little invisible roach, yours is coming. Someone will kill you and then you, little murderer, won’t be feared anymore.” She flicked her hair at her and then walked to her table. Her friends laughed and stared at Ivy.            Ivy glanced around the lunchroom, everyone was staring and pointing at her. She knew Stacy did that to get more attention, brushing off the feeling of hate she felt from everyone, she opened her bag and grabbed some of her homework. A shiver went down her back, she glanced up and saw a mysterious boy walking towards her.            “Hey,” an unfamiliar voice said.            

             Stacy walked up, taking the note out of Ivy’s hand, she giggled. “Ohhh, what are you for Halloween? Yourself?” Stacy spouted off.            Ivy turned to face her, she needed to put this girl in her place. Or at least scare her, so she’d leave her alone for one day, “Yes, in fact, I am. And, oh, guess what? You are the first one on my list to die. So, BEWARE! RAWR!” she growled, pushing past Miss Popular.            Walking into class, she plopped herself down in the chair. Closing her eyes, she just wanted to be invisible. “Hey, gorgeous,” Nick said sitting next to her. “What do you want?” Ivy growled. “You want on the list too.” She said looking at him annoyed.            “You, if you're willing to put me on that list of yours, hopefully first.” He said winking at her.

             Ivy wasn’t sure what he was going on about, something made her sick to her stomach. “Um, Nick, no offense or anything, but I think you are crazy. Please take me home, I don’t want to you again after tonight. You are a freak and you are scary!” she said, pushing past him and to his car.            Nick knew he blew his chance to get Ivy to understand what was happening, and soon she would see it before she would believe it. He closed his eyes for a long moment, “alright I’ll take you home. I’m sorry I scared you.” He said sighing as he started the car.         “It’s just the first time I saw you in the hallway when that popular dude ignored you, and Stacy gave you that look, I wanted you. Something about you draws me into you,” he said. “I want you, damn it.” He spoke. “I feel like we have something more than both of us could understand at this moment.” &n
