“Then he looked at me and I jumped back a little. In the moonlight I could see his eyes were that red brown color but they were kind of glowing this time!! He finished his sentence. Were not entirely human. I now looked at the rest of them. Their eyes too! it was a strong glow but it was there! I was fighting the urge to freak out. I took in a breath and reminded myself Stark said to trust him. I cleared my throat. So what are you then. He stepped closer to me. with all my might I stood there not stepping back.

How can I believe you?? Prove it? That last one came out as a question more then a demand. He sat there and stared at me his eyes doing that thing. Then his voice was in my head. Can you hear me? My eyes went wide. He wasn't lying! There is no way I could have imagined that!”
