Quinn nudged her shoulder, lightly. They sat in silence as Oshey gathered her courage. "I have seen a dark place, where the sky is almost purple. I saw a warehouse, and I saw green and red lights. I remember something about white light or the color white. I don't know. I also saw you and me. We weren't here, we were in the mountains. I remember I was upset about something. It’s all jumbled in my head and I can’t distinguish what is real and what is dreams.” "Can you be any more cryptic?" Quinn chuckled and pulled Oshey into a hug.

"Is anyone here? Please, someone help me," I croaked instinctively as my eyes fluttered open. The strangest thing about darkness is that you never know what lurks in the corners. Is it safe to step forward or backward? What could be waiting on the left or right? Darkness breeds the kind of fear that sinks deep, a fear that leaves you alone with nothing but your racing heart. It's accompanied by an eerie silence, amplifying the tormenting sound of your own pulse throbbing in your ears.

The words echo, a brief vibration in the air that shimmers and fades to a taut silence. "Come on then. Make up your mind. I'm here. I'm playing your game. What do you want?" Still, there's no reply, but... ... there... ... in the darkness, something moves... ... something clicks... ... and lights blaze.

I'm so sorry, I regret it, I shouldn't have agree to this. I fucked up again. I could feel it. That wasn't an apology. ‘’Listen rowan, I don’t give a fuck about you or your stupid relationship situation or what so ever. Don't drag me into your shit and certainly don't carry me to your bed. Don't even come near this room when you are drunk or out of your mind. So Rowan, you and your bullshit can go to hell. The door is over there and open, you can certainly make your way , I’m sure you can.’’

He could almost feel every moment again, like it is currently happening. Chris is being embraced by the demon or at least, that’s how Chris perceives it. He was being enveloped by the demon’s darkness. He doesn’t feel any physical pain, only the utter silence and coldness which he unusually feels refuge. He thinks it was ridiculous, he really thought that the demon would bite him or anything similar to feed on him.

It was the first girl we saw, the brown-haired one where her picture was taken in a field. The girl let out a silent tear, her tiny, shaken hands around his arm as she tried to free herself. “Him? Her? Or me?” Dominic questioned, his gun pointing directly to his head. The room was completely empty, the only thing there was the tiny lamp on the ceiling that barely illuminated itself There were no windows, no sign of the outside life. Not even a single ray of the sun. It was completely dark and cold that goosebumps started to form on my skin.

CARLY WOODS POV Silence. Deafening silence. And... Darkness. A heavy darkness that wouldn't go away. My current state isn't what could be labeled as normal or healthy to anyone. Darkness and silence have never been the best match for anyone who wanted to keep their sanity intact. But that was all I had this past hour or so. I had no idea how long I'd been stuck running in the darkness with an occasional moment of silence, where I'd wander around aimlessly.

the dark said. Mira stood in the dark. "The roots showed me this place. They wanted me to see." The dark was warm, patient, older than anything she had ever known. "I have been here since before the beginning. I will be here after the end." Mira looked into the dark. "What are you?" "I am the silence that holds the song. I am the dark that holds the light. I am the stillness that holds the staying." Mira felt tears prick at her eyes. "I am afraid."

By the time Benjamin finished giving his statement at the police station and returned home, it was already past midnight. The moment he stepped into the house, he sensed something was wrong. It was too quiet. The massive mansion was shrouded in darkness. Not a single light was on. The occasional chirping of insects and whisper of wind in the courtyard suddenly felt jarring, eerily loud in the stillness. Benjamin frowned instinctively. No matter what time he came home, Nissa always left a light on for him. She once said that was what made it feel like home.
