Death By Demons Chapter 21 Shadow fell to her knees, her face in her hands. I watched, aghast and also afraid. Shadow had not cried since well... Forever, yet hear she was, her head bent so low her horns were almost touching the ground and her black wings closed tight to her body. Then she spoke, her voice slightly muffled for she still had her hands clasped to her face, she said, "I'm sorry you had to see me like this," I put my hand on her shoulder and said, "you were amazing out there, you have all the right to cry." She looked up at me, her eyes slightly bloodshot, and smiled. "Thanks Arrow," and then she hugged me and a lot of things were said through that hug, and suddenly, I was glad she was my sister, and I was happy to be her brother. Suddenly she started to weep on my shoulder. "It's okay..." I said. "How could this happen?!" She wept, "we were all together, were could the others have gone? They couldn't have... You know" She looked at me, fear etched in her face. I held her at arms length and said, "the others will be fine, I promise." She looked at me and said "I hope you're right." Then she lay down on the cave floor and fell asleep.I looked outside of our cave, and I prayed that Star, Crystal and Bow were alright then I sat down beside Shadow and fell asleep too.
