Secrets in the Shadows

~♤Chapter 11♤~

A/N: (Continues from the last chapter but is in Max's POV)

I walk into to the kitchen and start making a sandwich for Y/N, when I feel a presence behind me. I turn around and see Ana and I immediately smile, a genuine one not the fake ones I usually give my customers or the grin I give Y/N.

"Hello Max, how have you been these past couple years?" She questions me, as I nod while replying "They have been good Ana, how have yours been?"

She answers with a sad smile and looks down at the floor "Not very good Max, but I've been better now that I 'met' Y/N, I knew as soon as I saw them that they were apart of my prophecy. My powers have come back a little ever since they started their journey."

"That's good but once you complete your prophecy that means..." I trail off sadly, already knowing what happens. She looks up at me and tries to give me a comforting smile "It means I'll be finally be able to rest in peace Max, no more pain."

I nod and turn back around, finishing the sandwich and when I turn back around Ana was gone. "Maybe she won't have to leave, maybe she can join me.." I think hopefully as I walk through the kitchen door stopping immediately at what I see.

Y/N reading the one of my many books they do seem like a bookworm kinda like Dwayne, I smile as I see what book They are reading. It's my favorite book out of all of them, it's how I found Ana. I see Y/N's eyebrows furrow, they sigh and close the book, they must've gotten to the the ripped page. I tore it out myself, that specific page had important information I didn't want stolen I also scribbled out some words.

I then see them walk over to the paint, canvasses, and paintbrushes. They turn around and I hide in the shadows to where they can't see me. I see their eyebrows furrow, probably wondering where I am.

They pick up a paintbrush and start painting, after a couple of hours they finish their painting. My eyebrows raise in surprise at how good they are then I smile realizing who they painted. "They might get along a lot with Marko." I think to myself.

I silently laugh when I see them look at what they painted and blush. "I read from the torn page and it looks like the effect is already working on them. There's a lot to learn..."

I then see them calm down, their face going back to normal. They walk to my boombox I keep for Paul here when the boys "visit"

They search for some music and find some, putting it in the boombox. I hear Twisted sister start playing and see them start dancing wildly.

After a couple minutes of dancing they stop, the music still playing.

They walk down one of the hallways in my house, after a couple of minutes they come out of the hallway. I then decided to make myself seen.

"Hello Y/N, I apologize if I took so long." I say apologetically giving them their sandwich. "It's fine Max, also I have a question." Y/N brushes off my apology as they eat the sandwich I gave them.

"Of course, go ahead and ask!" I exclaim with a grin, I walk away from the kitchen door frame and lean against a wall that's near them.

"Well I was wondering if these gloves were left here or if they were yours?" They ask me as they show me the fingerless leather gloves on their hands, their eyes flash a dark red making my face light up. "Another supernatural being, I need to read that book again but I might need to see if anything else happens."
