Veter

Raion quickly wakes up in a sweat and yells "Fourth watch out behind you!"

Baskia then begins to awake from his deep sleep "Raion will you shut the fuck up I'm trying to sleep here and so is everyone else on this island. You'll wake up the whole place with your big mouth."

Raion " I just saw fourth he was with this weird fish-like creature"

Baskia "It was just a dream you're still in shock of what happened."

Raion "It felt so real though. Like I could touch him"

Baskia "Lets just head down and meet their now. Discuss more this later. Now come."

Raion and baskia walked out of their rooms and towards the main hall where they meet Theo, who was talking to another younger boy.

Theo "They were sailing and a storm hit them and they're friend got dragged into the water."

Raion "They're talking about fourth!"

Baskia grabs raion and pulls him back behind him "Shh I'm trying to listen"

Better "Grabbed in by what?"

Theo "That's what we don't know"

Veter "It's the same thing as before. Isn't it?"

Theo "We don't know that. It could be different"

Veter "It isn't', he's back and he wants more."

Theo "He agreed to not come back."

Raion tries to get closer and ends up knocking down a lamp.

Veter "What was that noise?"

Baskia kicks raion and scornfully looks at him. "It is just I and raion."

Veter stares in disbelief at Raion. He starts to speak but something tells him otherwise.

"How is it that Theo is okay with this!? Does the whole island know he's a shadow?! Or is there something more to this. I must find out" thinks Veter

Theo "Ahh Raion, Baskia I was waiting for you" Theo sees Raion looking suspiciously at Veter. He turns his head slightly towards Veter and nods for him to come forth. "Baskia and Raion let me introduce you to Veter."

Veter "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance" and holds out his hand

Baskia "It's nice to meet you Veter" and firmly shakes Veters hand

Veter looks down at Raion, makes direct eye contact with him and smirks.

Raion timidly looks at Veter and thinks to himself "This guy seems different from the others on this island. Just can't figure out why."

Veter then extends his hand out to Raion "You must be Raion?"

Raion "Ahh yeah that's um me"

Baskia whispers to Raion "Are you nervous right now" and beings to giggle

Raion looks angrily at Baskia and breaks eye contact with Veter

Veter "Did I say something to offend you?"

Raion "Oh no um I was just ah.."

Theo "Its best we get going to the dining hall breakfast is prepared. Follow me this way."

Theo and Veter walk up ahead of Raion and Baskia

Raion "Who do you think that veter guy is? I got the feeling he's not from here. Like he's only here on special occasions"

Baskia "Like the odd disappearance of Fourth." Baskia mumbles to himself. "They mentioned this happening before. Could they mean with Theo friend?"

Baskia "Let's just go, we might get some information out of them during breakfast let me do the talking though."

Raion knew what Baskia was getting at during this point. He knew all too well.

Veter "Raion may I have a word. Alone."

Raion looks over at Baskia.

Baskia "Its fine Raion you can go."

Raion "Um sure."

Veter "This way."

Raion follows Veter down the hall and into the next room.

Raion "What is this about? I'm starving haha could we make it quick?"

Veter "I know what you are."

Raion eyes went wide open. "How could he have known I thought Baskia made sure the island didn't find out!"

Veter "You're a shadow. What I don't know is why and how you've managed to stay like this for longer than ten minutes."

Raion "I ahh it was an accident I don't know how or why."

Veter "How is it that no one here realizes what you actually are. It's like they're under a spell."

Raion "I can't say. It's a secret, please do make me say!"

Veter "Just tell me. Are you going get this fixed?"

Raion "Fourth, Baskia and I, we're heading to all sight. Fourth said she'd be able to help. Before.. everything happened with him."

Veter "I see."

Raion "You won't tell anyone will you?! That you know!"

Veter "I won't. But.. will you let me come?"

Raion "Come? To all sight?"

Veter "Yes please."

Raion "What do you need to see her for?"

Veter "I would mind if I kept that between me."

Raion " I'm sorry, I can do that."

Veter "Thank you. We should go before they worry."

Raion "Yeah."
