Late at Night

Annie had been sitting on the roof for a long time. Bob was curled up on her lap, and she had her notebook propped up on him. She had a flashlight propped against that.

She wrote quickly, writing down her newest plots. "This is like, my best idea yet, B.B." She told her pet bunny.

When it started to rain, she groaned and put her note book in her messenger bag, but she stayed on the roof. The wind blew her red hair in her eyes. She tucked it behind her ears.

Only then did she see the other girl sitting there.

Shade stood on the edge of the rooftop and looked at the sky. It was lit up in a million shades of beautiful colors. He looked at the moon and stars until his eyes began to water. He pulled on his hood to cover his soft eyes.
He sighed and just continued to stand perfectly still, listening as the two other strangers went about their buisness.
He had to concentrate to keep the buzzing of his sixth sense to a minimum. He continued to look out at the forest. He could see several animals moving slowly.

Shade watched as small falkes of snow began to fall. Suddenly he realized that someone on the roof must've been able to control the weather.

Annie picked up Bob and stood up. "Wheee!!! Snow!" But just then, it stopped. "Darn." Anne side and walked over to the girl, but she noticed the boy too. "Wow...popular place this time of night." She said.

Shade just listened as he watched the treeline. He silently thought about jumping off the building and running to join the animals. But that would just get him killed.

"Shade," he replied simply.
