Shadow Walkers

OK. To get farther past my writers block I will make myself write a story:

I stood there. Silent. Listening. I'm not sure what I was listening for. I knew when I heard it I would know. An owl flew by hooting. Then all was silent again. I stood there in the darkness for a few more moments. Then I heard it. It was barley a sound, just a slight vibration in my ear. I turned my head slowly, scanning the forest. A small flicker of light showed to my left. I dropped into a crouch and made my way over there. The light was just a match, dropped on the ground. I looked up. A shadow was perched on the lowest branch of a nearby tree. It jumped down and walked into a ray of moonlight. It was a girl, about my age her features looked icy under the full moon. "I am X. I will teach you." she stated.
"X?" I asked surprised. It was an odd name. X glared at me. I decided not to question her any farther. All of a sudden I felt tiny in the forest, a small nobody. I knew nothing. The only instructions I got were to wait and listen. Clearly X was a somebody, the way she stood, the way she talked. Everything about her seemed superior. I felt as though I ought to bow down to her but I didn't want to make a fool of myself.
"Come." X ordered and walked into the darkness. I followed her quietly. Not daring to ask where we're going. After walking for what seemed for hours we stopped. The spot looked the same as the rest of this forest. X clearly didn't think so. She lit another match and held it up. I saw a few figures emerge from the shadows. In a way, they were like X. They had the same walk and all looked very superior. They all lit matches and lifted them up into the sky. More people appeared. They looked like me. Inexperienced. More matches were lit. After standing there for a few minutes silent. The matches went out. At that moment it was completely dark. A cloud had blocked the moon. I looked around, I could just make out the people and hear their breathing. all of a sudden X started to speak "Welcome to the Shadow Walkers. We live in these forests. You have been chosen to join us. Now you have two choices Zack. Stay and become one of us. Or go." I stood silent, hoping it was all a dream. I pinched myself. Ow. I considered my options. X and all the others had a look in their eyes. One that nobody in the city has. I wanted to be like them. Proud, superior and respected.
"I'll stay." I said "But, my parents.."
"I guess they never told you." Said X clearly disappointed "Well the truth is your parents died. We agreed that if you were able to find me you would become a Shadow Walker."
I processed the information. I thought about crying. But I wanna keep my cool, 15 year old guys who are starting a new life in the wild don't cry.
