Shadow Walkers Read Online Free PDF

one person looked to be around his age. She was a pretty girl with smooth brown skin and dark black hair. Most of the people sitting near her were much older. One person had to be in their seventies, while the other two adults looked to be about in their thirties.
    A young boy- not even in his teens- sits to the left of the pretty girl, playing on a cell phone. Nick comes to the conclusion that, given her age, the young woman was the only recruit among them. The rest of them were probably family who came to support the girl. Nick feels a slight pinch in his chest at the thought of his own mother. He wished that she could be there as well, but for now they were just going to have to stay in the two different worlds. With the way he was now, with no powers or knowledge of this other world, it was the best way for Nick to keep his mother safe.
    After about what seemed like twenty minutes, the woman at the podium coughs to get everyone’s attention. She looks over the seven people at the table and then speaks. “Greetings to you all. It seems that we have one recruit missing, but unfortunately we can’t wait all day for one slacker to show up.” She looks at Nick, then at the man to her side. “George, please give this young boy the Walker registration papers, then we can begin orientation.”
    The man at her side makes his way over to Nick. He doesn’t say a word as he hands over some papers and a pen. He returns to the woman’s side before Nick even uncaps the pen.
    Isaac moves the papers around, placing them in between the two. “These papers are just so we can put you in the database of verified Walkers. Hurry and fill it all out.”
    Nick winces at the sudden urgency, but he complies. He picks up the pen and looks at the first line, which of course asks for his name. Nicholas Calum Winters , he unwillingly writes. His middle name wasn’t something that he liked saying out loud, let alone telling anyone. To him, it was like a personal gift from his father.
    He continues filling the papers out, giving basic information about him and his mother. About halfway through the papers, there’s a knock on the door. The doors slide open, and a single guy walks in. Nick feels relieved to see that it’s another teenager.
    The new guy moves his curly bangs out of his face, and looks at everybody with a grin on his face. “Am I late?”
    The woman at the podium stands up straight and eyes the new arrival like a hawk. “Yes, but luckily for you, Hector, we haven’t started Guardian orientation and registration yet, so you may still take a seat. However, in the future, try not to make a habit out of late arrivals.”
    Hector smiles wider. “Yeah, I’m so very sorry.” He walks to the table, taking a seat to Nick’s right. He slouches down, stretching his arms across the table and resting his head on them. Nick can’t help but wonder where this kids parents were from. Could his relaxed attitude and lack of a companion mean that he was from earth?
    The woman in the business suit narrows her eyes in contempt as she shuffles some papers in her hand. She motions her hand towards Nick, and her guard- George- comes to retrieve the papers. Once she has them she does a quick scan over the room, then smiles. Nick almost cringes at how forced the expression was.
    “To start off, you may refer to me as dvisor Amanda. I’m excited to be the one standing here, ready to recruit three new young Walkers into the Guard.” She looks at a paper in her hand and then side glances at Nick, “It seems that one of you here is a full fledged rookie- a half blood who has just today realized his Shadow Walker lineage. Because of this, I’ll explain things a bit more in depth in order to make our newcomer feel more at home.”
    Isaac fake coughs and raises a hand. “Advisor Amanda, I’d like to add something.”
    Amanda nods as she narrows her eyes again. If he was going to be honest, Nick didn’t like Amanda. She was too sure of herself, and
