Casting a Shadow over Love (Part 1)

Black Shadow's (POV)

I started to wake up hearing all the sound of feet moving around, I figured class was over so I got up and stretched. I could feel my back pop numerous times. I grabbed all my stuff and made my way through the hallways and avoided all the loud, annoying, hyperactive, over friendly people that seemed to be every in this school. I had noticed expect for a few people these people were overly peppy. Hopefully with me here now I could change that even if it was a little. You know the old saying 'Too much of something is bad for you' and this place was to bright. I smiled knowing who my first target is, Rainbow. She seemed like the kind to go to the extremes on anything she did so if crashed and thought all is lost then she would have it bad.

My first step to corrupt her is get her to she how bad her friends are. This was a huge hurdle to overcome given the fact that she wouldn't fall for it so easily. I would have to make her respect and fear me, so that it would give me more leverage to work with. I could make a fake rumor spread about myself something that would make me seem like a was abused and neglected and that I had many fights with other kids. If I have a good enough hold on her then she would start picking fights with them and stay closer to me, this would let me win her over by showing her affection. I may have to go so far as to date her, but the end result should be the same. Still I have to get the rumor mill going and everyone knows it only takes one little note left on someone desk and I had the perfect opportunity because I was the first one in my agricultural class. I went over to one od desk in the middle and grabbed a piece of paper and started writing my little letter.

Hey, I heard that the new guy was some kind of freak at his old school and got in tons of fights. I heard it was because they had picked on him so much that he finally snapped and since then he would hurt anyone. I had a friend that went to his school and he told me to steer clear and if you made eye contact run. I smirked thinking that showed be enough material for them to exaggerate and twist till it filled this school completely. Feeling confident in my handy work I folded the paper a couple times and hide it in the inside corner of the desk where someone would see it. Then I walked to the back of the classroom and laid my head down.

I could hear the first few people come in and to my announce it was the hyperactive pink one and she was talking to her sister I guess. I should say she was speaking and her sister was listening with a bored expression on her face. I could almost feel sorry for the person if I generally didn't care about people. After five more minutes the class was pretty well full and the teacher finally decided to show up. He was a muscled out and have red hair with a piece of straw in his mouth. When I first heard him speak something told me that he was related to the country girl that I had in my plans.

I have to say he may have looked dumber than I bag of bricks, but he know a lot about farming and all the ends and outs. He did have this weird thing about wanting to do everything by hand and not machines. I guess that explained his muscle mass, since he apparently did most stuff by hand. I took notes on how he acted and decided that they would be useful in getting my hands on the country girl, if she was anything like him. He apparently valued honest and hard work and family and anyone who did was alright in his books. Also found out that I was right, he was the country girl's brother and even more interestingly he mentioned they needed help on their family farm. I don't mind sweating if it for a naughty cause like getting my fangs into her. If it worked then I could work on both of them at the same time and advance my plans along so much quicker.

Once the bell rang, I waited a minute till everyone was gone except for the teacher. I walked up to him, "I would like to work on your farm, is that alright sir." I said looking down slightly at him, I could see him looking over my body trying to see if I was strong enough. Once he was finished he gave a nod and said,

"It would be my pleasure, we could always use some more young blood around especially one as tough looking as yourself. Come by Sweet Apple Acers today around after school and we will see if ya can work hard enough." I gave a fake smile and nodded and turned around left. As I made my way to through the hallway, I could hear people whispering about me. I could see fear and sadness in some of their eyes. It seems that even this school isn't immune to gossiping. That means my plan should work, especially given that I can see Rainbow talking angrily to a male student that looks like a pipsqueak. I hoped it was over me and my hope was well placed because once she saw me she ran over and grabbed my hand. I didn't resist and let her led me down the hallway all the while I could hear people whisper and knew this stunt was going to help. By the time she stopped we were in an empty hall way she had this look on her face that looked like she wanted to rip someone's head off and comfort me all at the same time. I got to say it was kind of cute, I looked at her and said,

"What do you want, I thought you didn't like me?" I said lacing my words with a bit of hurt and sadness. I could see her flinch a little and her face got a little red and she looked down for a second before looking back at me. I could she was confused from all her emotion that where running through her. I knew that I had to seal the deal "I know the looks they gave me, I don't mind them I am used to it. After all I am a monster." I made sure that it sounded like a was depressed and turns my head slightly away with a small frown on my face. Then I heard her say.

"You're not a monster, I heard they picked  on you first and I heard from Flutters that you saved her. That doesn't sound like a monster to me." Right then I knew I had her and now the only thing a had to do was be careful and not mess up.
