It has gotten to the point that I worry that the old Maddox will never come back.

At first he tried to act like his old self, he tried to hug me, tried to smile but his hugs were cold and his smile was fake. I could see right through them. The way his eyes are empty but at the same time filled with ire.

At first I thought it was me, I thought he blamed me for what happened. For what the evil man did to me but then after the days passed I figured out that the hate he felt wasn't towards me. It was towards himself and towards the evil man.

He blamed himself for what happened. He thought it was his fault but I know it wasn't.

After a few days he stopped trying to make me think that the old him was still there. He completely closed off, he didn't hug me, he didn't smile.

And it hurt because even though Kyle and I are twins, Maddox and I had a stronger connection. Kyle was always flying around the world. But Maddox was always here with me and losing him felt like losing a part of myself.

"Can you go to your own room Kyle? I want to sleep alone tonight" I lie.

Kyle looks at me worriedly "What about the nightmares?

"I won't have them" I promise.

He reluctantly nods "Okay, I love you sis"

"Love you too Kyle" I say and watch as he leaves.

I quickly stand up and see him close his bedroom door. When he does I grab a jacket and put it, and then some sneakers.

I tip toe out of the house and look around. It was dark out and I couldn't see anyone.

"What are you doing out?" I let out a scream at turn around to see Maddox standing there with jeans and a black hoodie.

"I-uh, um what are you doing out?" i ask instead.

"I am an adult, you are a kid. Go back inside" He orders.

I shake my head defiantly "No"

Maddox clenches his jaw "Go back inside. I was on my way to the-. Somewhere and your fucking loud footsteps interrupted me so get back inside and go to sleep"

I sigh, my eyes watering slightly. It hurt that he was talking to me like that.

Maddox's face soften and he whispers "Just go back inside" And with that he starts walking away. I walk back into the house and look at the window.

When I see where Maddox walks into my heart speeds up.

I quickly open and close the door not really worried about Kyle hearing since he like me hasn't shifted yet and won't hear anything.

I run towards the cellar, my dad had shown me it a long time ago. He had told me to stay away there is no way I am doing that.

I slowly put my hand on the handle of the metal door and wince as it creaks while it opens.
