'The Darkness is known to always do two things - take a life...and spare one.' 1871 The young girl woke in the dead of the night. It was unusual. She was always awakened by the first rays of morning. She could not see anything as she lied face up in her bed, and for a moment, she forgot where she was.

"This is what we are," he said, his voice sounding hollow and faintly echoey, "and what you will be, soon." It sent another shiver through her, seeming to connect with cells of darkness within her, and she felt its truth, "You'll be one of us, and mine, bound to me for eternity," he continued as she trembled more violently, feeling his darkness penetrating every fragment of her existence, entwining with her own, encouraging it to grow. "And darkness. never. dies." he said roughly, before he slowly began to appear h

he smirked. "Akenos half brother Kha. Now I see why you are the destructor." Lesi said. "Why is that?" he was fascinated at this point. "Kha the God of darkness, creatures of the night, the sky.

“It's not like that. It's not something you can get rid of. It's part of me; it's my other half. It's who and what I am. Don’t you see, I am the darkness! To get rid of it would be to get rid of me.

I am the evil from the depths of hell and will only snuff out your light, little angel. You and I can never be together!” He said with a deep and rough voice.

She had run out of tears, breath and prayers many minutes earlier. She no longer believed that Red was going to tear through the surrounding blackness on a magnificent steed adorned with shining armor and rescue Jane. There was no light . . . only the Dark One. The Dark One was almost intoxicated. The girl was on the edge and beginning to fall slowly into the abyss.

I curled into myself on my side of bed, my fingers fluttering over my stomach. After the dark, comes the light. Fabiano could do anything he wanted but I wouldn’t let him snatch my light away this time. I won’t let him spread his darkness in my light. After the dark, comes the light. ***
