Shadow sadly nods his head yes, and sighed. “There are those from the medieval times that feel they are above the Servant, and a few from modern times that let their new life status go to their head.” Rae could hear the sadness in his voice.
Rae told him in a firm yet shaky voice, one that Shadow would soon relate to anger. “I don’t care what anyone says, that behavior will not happen in this household. You can tell your Master that I will not put up with that type of conduct to anyone I care for.”
She started shaking her finger at the door across the …show more content…
Rae thought it was his eyes; they were light green similar to sea glass. His hair was baby white, and cut short he used gel to spike it up. Unlike River’s white skin Shadow had an olive color to his skin as if he worked out in the sun.

Rae admitted it was creepy having someone staring at her when she first woke up. She could feel his presence. Without opening her eyes, she already knew Shadow was standing at the foot of her enormous four poster queen size bed, with its deep dark red velvet cover and it’s down filled mattress topper, it was comparable to sleeping on a
