He swears he's heard a gun shot ring out but he's unsure now as the sound disappeared as fast as he heard it. he considers his options.
He could go check up on his neighbor but then again it was the girl the landlord warned of.
Then again if she was in trouble it was his moral right and due diligence to check up on her.
Yet he still somewhat fears her and her sense of familiarity that he still can't put his finger on. Maybe it was her cold demeanor, maybe it reminded him of someone else that he knew of. Never the less he wasn't going to pry to much on it.
So in the end he will leave the idea alone. He'd know if she was alive or not by tomorrow.
Besides there was no sound of a struggle and the sound didn't ring long enough like a gunshot would. It was something close to a quick drop of something that was dense and small but then again how could he be sure he had one headphone in when he heard it. Maybe she had just dropped something on the floor.
He sends the thoughts away and focuses on his computer which he had been previously using to look at his classes. They were all general education classes, political science, history, english, statistic, biology. You wouldn't know his major just by looking at his class schedule but it was marine biology with a minor in ecology hence going to college by the sea.
It wasn't his first choice, originally it was business which was his father's choice but his mother advised otherwise. Even though business would have been ideal for taking over his families business his mother had convinced him to study something he liked which he may never pursue so he chose marine biology due to possibly never doing it in his post graduate life.
He closes the labtop and takes out the earbud. His father was a strange man, a bit quiet yet very stoic he had barley intrest in Henry's life as a child and even less as an adult yet somehow he still gave enough care for Henry to consider him a bare minimum father. Not to mention he didn't even know how his father had aquired so much money for his media company. He heard it was investments, his mother said an angel investor whatever the matter the money his father aquired solved any problems which would have occured from his emotional negligence to Henry.
Now Henry knew why the girl named Elina was familiar. She had the same sharp disgusted look his father always had.
What if everything you saw was different from everyone else...
Elina never had a very normal life. As a child she could see shadows that followed her and clung to her. As an adult she could see beings that controlled these shadows.
Henry always had a normal life. he never had to worry about shadows or beings that controlled them. That was until he met Elina, a girl who lived in the same apartment complex as him. Now all he sees is shadows and Elina's friend who goes by the name of Neto.
Now the two must uncover the truth of just who they are and where they got these strange powers from.
