Hidden Secrets

I kept running as I gave no sign that I was there. I stopped in an alleyway, breathing heavily. I looked for any sign of life and saw nothing, but a Wanted paper on the ground. I picked it up and looked at it. It had a picture of Nancy and I. (file:///C:/Users/shell/OneDrive/Pictures/Story%20Pics/Dream-Reality/Wanted.jpg)

I crumpled it up, tossed it down and walked down the alleyway. I started running again until I got to the one place I knew there was some information that I needed.

I smiled wickedly when I found the Police Station. I found papers in the police station and read them from top to bottom. I was trying to figure out why I was in the town of Salerdaroo, Wanted for a Crime committed. The Papers read:

Date: 12/4/60048 A.D.

Interrigation of Drake Greera

Suspect sat there in a chair in an unfamiliar place. He looked around frantically. Something dark took him over and played it cool. The Interviewer, Officer Meeks, walked in and he stood up. She closed the door and walked to the chair.

Officer Meeks: (Sits down) Hello, Drake Greera. Sit down so we can talk.

Shadow Drake Greera: Nah, Officer Weakling. I shall stand while you talk or shall I say ask stupid questions.

Officer Meeks: (sighs) sit down, sir. This is serious.

He started laughing and laughing. He walked up to the table, still laughing and slammed his hands onto the table.

Shadow Drake Greera: Look at me in the eyes and tell me, how this is serious.

Officer Meeks: This is serious because you and your 3 friends went out and killed a few people. (Slides a Photo that was burnt on the edges toward him) Is this you and your friends?

(file:///C:/Users/shell/OneDrive/Pictures/Story%20Pics/Murder%20Spree,%20Looking%20Human.jpg)

Shadow Drake: (Walks toward table and looks at the photo) Yep. So, what if we killed a few? They attacked us first so we killed three of ten of them. We helped you guys by getting three of them off the street. Maybe, by killing them, but 3 of 10 are off the street now.

Officer Meeks: How can you be so stupid?!?! THEY WILL WANT REVENGE!!!

Shadow Drake: If they want revenge, then let them come at me and my friends. We can take them on.

Officer Meeks: Anyways, where is the bodies?

Shadow Drake: What? What do you mean by bodies?

Officer Meeks: Where are the bodies of the 3 you killed? Also, why did you have this? (Grabs the bag with the bottle in it and sets it on the table)

The dark thing in his body left, for a while as he stood there scared that he wasn’t at home with his family. Officer Meeks looked at him expecting an answer.

Drake Greera: What are you talking about, ma’am?

Officer Meeks: This bottle of Hydroslavine!! Why do you have it?

Drake Greera: My doctor gave it to me for my bad nightmares. It is to help me sleep without the terrible nightmares, ma’am.

Officer Meeks: Who is your doctor?

Drake Greera: My father, ma’am. He is my town’s doctor. He is the best.

Officer Meeks: Who is your father? What is his name and where does he live?

Drake Greera: I cannot say his name and I cannot say where he lives. That is classified information that I with hold in me.

Officer Meeks: I don’t have time for this! Tell me who your father is and you can go!

The dark thing came back and “possessed” him again. He started laughing and walked to the table. He slammed his hands down, breaking the table in half. Officer Meeks got up and walked backwards. She grabbed her radio and took a breath.

Shadow Drake: Nope!! I cannot have you calling for back up!!

He grabbed Officer Meeks by the throat and she squealled. She started crying and he heard footsteps behind him as the doors flung open.

Officer Ghoul: Let go of her, Drake Greera!!

Shadow Drake: (Still holding onto Officer Meeks throat) Or what? Are you going to shoot me?

End of Conversation...

‘Hm. This was about 100 years ago when they interrogated me and my 3 friends. That isn’t good since it ended like it did. Did they get attacked or something?’ I thought as someone walked in with a knife.

“Hello, dear. Shall I possess you again?” A female asked as I looked at the door.

“No. I shall not be possessed again.” I said as I looked at her shadowy figure.

We lunged at each other and I woke with a start again. I sat up and looked around the room. Nothing out of the ordinary in my home. I looked at the clock on my night stand and it said it was 3:45 AM. I breathed in and out multiple times before looking at my night stand again. I looked at it again and it had a bottle with white medicine and a silvery swirl in it along with a needle and syringe beside it. Next to those, was a note that said, “10 cc of Hydroslavine once a day at night to sleep.”

I got up and stretched. I walked to the window and opened the curtain. I smiled when the sun hasn’t come up, yet. I took a deep breath and changed my clothes for a meeting I had to go to. I dressed myself in all white and grabbed my big white hat. I stepped out of my home and locked the door. It was -5 F (-21 C) outside. I walked around wearing no coat, gloves, or even a jacket. I was warm while the humans were cold. This was the final test to see if I will get into the best Elven University known as Harlford University.

I smiled and ran toward a coffee shop called, Beyond the Stars. It fit since I was beyond the stars, same with the other 4 that I was meeting today.

‘Should I tell them or no? Would Father mind if I told them?’ I thought to myself as I saw the other 3 sitting at a table.

“Hey, Lemon, Strawberry and Blueberry.” I said with a smile.

“You know we don’t like those names, Raspberry.” Said the golden haired man, we call him Lemon.

“Do you guys want something to eat or drink while we are in our meeting?” A red headed women asked with a smile, we call her Strawberry.

“Raspberry, do mind ordering the food and drinks for us? Also, paying for it?” The blue haired man asked, we call him Blueberry.

“Sure. Let me see, Strawberry wants a Hot Chocolate with extra whipped cream and 3 strawberry pancakes with powdered sugar on all 3. Blueberry wants a Chocolate Parfait with a few blackberries on the side and an Iced Chocolate Coffee. Lemon doesn’t want anything to eat so, he wants a Lemon Water with extra lemons and some Fresh berries on the side.” I said with a smile.

“Man, you know us so well.” Lemon said with a smile.

I walked over to the counter and ordered our food and drinks. I grabbed the 4 drinks and took them to the table. I set the Iced Coffee in front of Blueberry, The Hot Chocolate with Extra Whipped Cream in front of Strawberry, the Lemon water in front of Lemon and I sat down in front of my water.

“What do you guys call yourselves in this world? I am known as Drake Greera.” I asked curious to see what they came up with for names.

“Well, I named myself Huyeng Joosung.” Blueberry replied with a smile.

“I named myself, Melody Strings.” Strawberry said as she sipped her hot chocolate.

“I haven’t given that much thought, lately.” Lemon said as he looked straight at me.

“Drake Greera, Drake Greera, your food is ready!” Someone said over a P/A system.

I got up and walked away to get the food. I came back and Lemon was gone. I shrugged and set the tray of food down on the table. Lemon came back and sat down as I finished passing the food out. We talked about what we were gonna do and when we were going to meet again.

We walked out of Beyond the Stars and split our separate ways. I sighed and sprinted back to my place.

I walked in and there was a dark shadow that closed the door behind and stood there. Same with the corner in the Dining Room and the Living Room. They all lunged at me, but I grabbed the one behind me and threw them against the other two and ran to the top of the roof, where I saw father standing there. I stood there shocked to see him and he smiled at my progress. He nodded and disappeared, leaving a note behind. I picked it up and it opened up. It read:

“Dear ********* ******** of the Shadow Knights in Training,

You have passed the Leadership Test with ease and must try to find someone to help you with the next few tests. Whether it is your sister or a human.

Fare thee Well dear student,

Professor *************”

‘Awesome. I hope the other 3 didn’t get notified about this.’ I thought to myself.

Then, I headed back down to my room and looked out the window. The sun was going down. I now had to debate between taking the medicine or not. He grabbed the syringe and the bottle. I got 10 cc of the medicine and I looked at the label and sighed. Then, I stuck the needle in my arm and pushed the medicine into my veins. This was necessary to sleep, but it really wasn't helping anymore. I set the bottle on my night stand and threw the needle and syringe onto the ground. I started twitching and there was no way for me to get out of it. After about 30 minutes, I was perfectly fine and I laid down. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I fell asleep and dreamt the same dream.
