The transformation room was still dark even with the light on. No windows had ever been planned for this room because a Vampire had to be with his Mate during the transformation. The dark rock walls lent even more darkness to the room, and a somewhat eerie feeling. In the center of the room was a bed of stone about four feet high. Shadow had placed a down-feather

The joy was short lived however as The Shadow began to speak with a thunderous voice and said, “you have become the embodiment of the crass blob like creature that tried to kill you once. You are now a creature of the night as your heart is foul and forever wretched.” And just as The Shadow said his final word he melted into the shadows and back into the shadowy dominion in which he reigned. The man apparently took no heed to The Shadow’s

    Carl Jung proposes the idea of a ‘shadow’, a reflection of our own, unconscious, personal demon that is always there. Although I am not sure I have fully grasped what his idea is, I would describe my ‘shadow’ as the doubt I have for myself. I always constantly doubt my abilities to do anything, whether it is something I have done a hundred times or am trying for the first time. Anytime I go to do something here is this shadow lurking behind me, saying I am not smart or able enough to do whatever

My voice whispers in the depths of a crawling river, in the racing wind and the breeze through ferns and branches. My shadow flickers on the
