Defeating the Darkness within

[Frisk E. Coyote]

Still wary of the other people around him, Jack walked close to the ones he perceived as less threatening. The boy named Luke seemed somewhat aggressive and hot tempered, so Jack stayed away from him. The boy named Kyle had some sort of shadow following him around, and it reminded him a lot of Peter Pan. The shadow didn't seem threatening at all, and Kyle looked equally shaken, so he didn't think of him as much of a threat. The girl named Lizzy seemed rather friendly, if not a little clueless, and he thought she was okay to approach, but feared her directness.

There was of course, Michael, their guide. The wolf cub trusted him for now, and he had already convinced him that his father did not need to be told he was gone, as he had tried to run away from home many times before, and rather than call the police, Sam had hunted him down himself and punished him severely.

"Uhm, L-Lizzy?" He found himself speaking meekly. "We're not exactly at school anymore." He couldn't help but chuckle a little. He had already started speaking, even though he had wanted to stay silent until he was the only one left who hasn't introduced themselves. He sighed and spoke up. "I'm Jackson Colt... Call me Jack." The young wolf introduced himself, keeping his eyes on everyone's feet. He produced the shield-shaped crystal from his pocket and held it up. "I found my crystal not too long ago... a book that came with it says its element is earth."
