It was a bright and cheery morning when Zane awoke in the castle. It had been two years since he had said goodbye to Josselyn to save her, yet he was still no where close to returning to her. He can only imagine how furious and worried she must be. Zane still does not know why he possesses the same magical abilities as the shadow men. The shadow men had been training him and testing his abilities, but nothing had come of it. They talked in hushed tones just low enough that he couldn’t hear and left the room every time he entered. His frustration was starting to drive him crazy. He just wants answers, but no one will give him any; they don’t even talk to him.

She looked at R like she could see his soul. He fell in love with her at that moment and knew he could not leave her. Her name was even more magical, Evangeline.

Zane dropped the book. He stared open mouthed at the wall with one thought running through his head. It’s his mother and R has to be his father! It repeated over and over in his head. The door opened and a shadow man appeared. He beckoned for Zane to come. Zane refused and attempted to pick the book up, but before he could reach it the book flew into the shadow man’s hands. Zane screamed in rage. He wanted to keep reading and find out more about his father. Two more shadow men appeared, dragging Zane out of the room screaming.
