A 10 year old girl with pitch black hair, grey eyes, and pale skin was sitting on her front porch awaiting her mother's arrival. You see, her mother has been on a three month business trip and the girl only could rarely talk to her on the phone. This girls name, was Joan. Aside from her rich family she was bullied at school because of what she was like. Her personality was sweet and kind, but there was a darker twist to her. She would often talk to her "friend" but everyone claims that it isn't there and that she is just a creepy, insane, weirdo. But that didn't stop Joan from talking to it! She had already named her friend shadow because her description of it was quite unsettling. She claims that it has white glowing eyes and a black shadowy body. Joan has been sent to a counselor many times because her parents where concerned about her. But she ignored that fact and kept being herself. As she waited for her mother she looked at the crimson, cloud filled sky. She eventually saw a car pull up and she stood up in excitement. But the car wasn't her mother's...it was white with a red flame on the side. Joan thought that maybe her mother had gotten a new car, but once Joan was about to run up to greet her beloved mother,two men with black ski masks opened the car door, holding guns in there hands. Once they saw Joan they grabbed her arm, pulling her inside of her home while kicking the door down. Her father was sitting down until he saw the men holding a gun at him acting as if they were about to shoot him. One of the men yelled, "Alright! Hand over everything you got! The car, the money, everything!! Now!!" Her father stood up without hesitation and nodded. He was about to get everything they had asked for but all of a sudden the door opened and Joans mother had burst through with happiness, "Joan! I'm ho-" One of the men pointed a gun at her and yelled with great force, "Who the hell is this?! You know what I don't care! Get the money!!" Joans father nodded but one of the men had tripped him making her father fall on his face. The man put his foot on his back forcefully, saying, "let's just get it our selves. Killing them would make it a lot easier. And besides they'll call the cops if we keep them alive."

The other man nodded, "okay. Let's save the kid for last." With that he shot two bullets into Joans mother, making blood splatter all over joans plain white shirt. She screamed, "MOMMY!!" Tears streamed down her face as she tried to run over to her but the man pulled her back, "kill the dad. Now!" The other man rolled his eyes and held a gun at her father's head. Her father screamed, "Joan!! Run!!" Before he could say anything else the man shot him in the head leaving just the three of them, and two dead bodies. Joan looked at the both of the men and shook her head over and over she screamed, "SHADOW! HELP ME!" The men laughed and held both there guns at her. With that, something with great force had pushed the men against a wall, nearly breaking it. Joan stepped back and quickly ran out as she whispered to herself, wiping the tears away from her eyes "thank you shadow..."

A few years had past and Joan is now 14. She lives in a crummy old orphanage with terrible people. The Matron or what they have to call her, "Mother", was very cruel to them. She beat Joan if she had done something wrong and just leave her bruised,bloody body on the ground until she had learned her lesson. Joan was often depressed and the other orphans would make fun of her for the same reason her peers at school did. It was because of shadow. But there was one girl there who really stood out. Her name was Hailey. She had long blonde beautiful hair and crystal blue eyes. Hailey was nice to her and stayed with her during those long tearful nights. One evening, Joan had accidentally ran into one of girls who bullied her. The girl stared at Joan and then started to glare, "Whats your problem, Creep?!" Joan stepped back a bit and apologized, "i-im sorry Latis...." Latis grabbed Joan by the arm, pushing her to the ground, "sorry won't cut it this time, witch!!" Joan had tried to get up but Latis stepped on her hand forcefully,leaving her on the ground, helpless. Another one of the bullies named Josy had walked out from behind Latis and said, "and you know what we do to witches?" She laughed as she looked at latis. Latis looked down at Joan and said, "we burn them." They both laughed and Joans eyes widened as fear wiped across her face, "n-no.." Josy and Latis both laughed as they each grabbed one of Joans hands, pulling her down the stairs to the basement where there was a huge oven. Without saying anything Latis turned the oven on and tried to put Joan inside of it. Joan tried to resist, "LET ME GO! SOMEONE HELP!! HAILEY!! ANYONE!!" Hailey had heard her sound of distress and quickly got up from reading her book, setting it down quickly, "joan??" As Hailey was following the source of joans screaming voice, Latis and Josy had finally been able to throw Joan into the oven, shutting it and locking it tightly, setting the key on top of it. Joan was pounding on the window of the oven and screaming, "SOMEONE! PLEASE!!" Latis and Josy where laughing hysterically as Joan was coughing and hacking loudly from the smoke and the small space. Hailey had finally made it down stairs and once she saw Joan inside of the oven, Josy and latis both ran up stairs like nothing happened. Hailey ran to the oven, grabbing the keys from the top of it and opened it forcefully. Joan scurried out, still coughing. There was burn marks all over her skin and blood on her fists from pounding on the window so hard. Hailey gave Joan a quick hug and said, "come on. Let's get you fixed up." Joan nodded as Hailey wiped away her tears.

A few hours later, Joan went to the bathroom. It was dark out and everyone was sleeping. She looked in the mirror at her burn marks. She said, "ill kill them....ill rip out their throats..and watch them suffer." She rolled up the sleeve of her sweat shirt and looked at her wrist. There was fresh cuts up and down her skin. She then rolled down her sleeve and said to herself, "they want a witch? Ill give them a witch.." with that Joan grabbed a sharp razor from the cabinet and pressed it up against her face, right under her eyes. She started to cut under her eye, making a large triangle. She did this to both of her eyes. As blood poured down her face, she tried not to scream from the pain so she held it in. She then started to peel the skin making two bloody triangles placed right under her eyes she then started to laugh, "I can't wait to rip out their throats!" She then cut the sides of her mouth, making thin lines straight to her ear. She kept laughing and grabbed a needle and thread from the cabinet. She started to stitch the sides of her mouth. "HAHAHA!!" She laughed insanely as blood poured down to her neck and onto her sweater. She looked into the mirror and said, "I'm going to call you light. Ha! I like that name!! After all, a shadow needs it's light..." She turned around, "today's the day shadow. I'm finally going to kill my enemies. Just like you said!" She then ran out of the bathroom excitingly and shut off the power to the whole orphanage. She then lost all of her sanity. Joan was no more. She grabbed a flash light, a knife,and some matches. then ran to The room which everyone was asleep in. She said loudly, "wakey...wakey...." Latis sat up and rubbed her eyes, "wha..." light had shined her flashlight on Latis's face and yelled, "let's burn the witch! HAHAHA!" Latis just sat there, quivering in fear. What used to be a sweet young girl, lit a match and threw it on Latis's bed causing it to instantly catch on fire. Latis's screams woke up everyone else. The fire quickly spread through out the room. As the girls screamed in panic, Hailey wasn't frightened. She looked at her once best friend and said, "Joan.....?" Before she could say anything else, the whole room caught fire, causing Hailey to burn up and die as well as the other girls. Light just stood there smiling from ear to ear, "this'll be fun....haha!!" She ran out of the orphanage and looked back. Everything was burning and she could still hear screams. The black haired, grey eyed, pale killer laughed insanely and ran out into the woods
