4 Shadow

Dean looked at the key that sat in his hand. It was a small golden key. The circular part of the key had four holes in it.

"This kinda looks like a button"

Dean said. He continued to examine the key. It seemed to be a normal key. Dean put the key in his pocket. Dean headed towards the door when he heard something fall behind him. 

"Ugh what now"

Dean said as he turned slowly to see what fell. Dean turned to see someone standing on John's bed. Dean started to inch closer to the bed to see who it was. The figure then jumped down from the bed and started walking slowly towards Dean.

"Stop right there that's fair enough"

    Dean said but the figure kept walking towards him. Dean tried to find something to defend himself but he couldn't find anything. Dean turned back to the figure. It was closer to him so Dean put his hands into fists and started swinging at the figure. The figure dodged them gracefully and he kept walking towards Dean. 

    "You don't need to be afraid of me Dean I'm here to help"

    Said the figure. Dean tried to run but the figure grabbed him and led Dean over to the lamp. The figure lit the firewood inside of it. When the fire grew to a flame Dean could see that the figure was actually a person. The man was in a yellow jacket and he had a white mask on and blue pants and brown boots. Dean couldn't see the man's eyes but his mask was filthy. It had mud all over it and his jacket had mud not only mud but blood. The man fell to his knees. Dean ran over to the man.

    "No no I'm fine"

    Said the man. He stood up and tried to take his mask on. Dean just looked at him. When the man took his mask off he had blue hair, he had bluebell eyes, and what got Dean creeped out most was his horns he had dark blue horns. The man looked at him and then he almost fell again but he caught himself at the bedside.

    "You don't need to be afraid I'm here to help"

    He said Dean wasn't scared, he was just a little nervous.

    "My name is Shadow I came from a time way after this time"

    Shadow said.

    "What are you talking about"

     Dean asked. Dean was now even more confused.

    "I'm not from this time. I'm a demon from this country but way into the future, I have the ability to go back in time. I came back because what's haunting this town whatever IT is it killed one of my best friends and I want to kill him"

    Shadow said. Shadow stood up and walked over to Dean.

    "You are the only one so far that has experienced It and you know where to find It"

    "So you mean to tell me you are a demon from the future that has the ability to go back in time and you came back in time to kill whatever is terrorizing this town just because it killed your friend"

    "Yeah, and I brought some friends with me. They are all looking for him but none have found him."

    "Wait who else is here"

    Dean asked. Shadow looked at Dean for a minute.

    "What I'm about to tell you, you can't tell anyone"

    "Okay, I won't tell anyone"

    "There are four other people here. Their names are JJ the Killer, Eyeless Oliver, Grinny Dog, and Smile Cat."

    Dean looked at Shadow. Dean didn't feel afraid of Shadow he just felt sadness he felt sorry for what Shadow has gone through. Dean could have never guessed how it would feel to lose a friend. Dean only felt sadness in his heart. He totally forgot about what he had seen earlier. 

    "JJ is psycho so he might kill some people in this town"

    Dean didn't hear him. He was lost in thought he was off in a far off land where none of this was happening. He was with John and they were all right. Dean was brought back to Earth when Shadow shook him.

    "What"

    Dean said when he came back from his thoughts.

    "Bloodshed is closer than you think"

    Dean froze and he tried to speak but all that came out was a wheezing noise. Fear rose in Dean's body and it started to consume his sadness. It spread from his head to the tips of his toes. Dean couldn't move, he just sat there on his knees looking at Shadow. Dean finally made out a few words,

    "How much"

    Shadow didn't respond. He put his head down and lifted his knee up and he put his elbow on it and put his fist against his forehead.

    "It's hard to say"

    After Shadow said that they both heard some screams. Coming from a house across the dirt road.
