The Darkness

Slowly…silently…the lightness of the sun disappeared, vanished into thin air. The autumn leaves were scattered around the floor. The crunch I could hear as my foot stepped apron the crispy leaves. The stars gleamed like heavenly diamonds. The owls screeched and the hooted. Fear had conquered my body. Why was I here? That question filled my head as quickly as the tears filled my eyes.

The mist came as fast as horses. I silently walked until I hit my knee on a hard cold wall. There in the darkness stood a strange figure. I couldn't tell if it was human through al the mist. He seemed young and depressed. Like a ghost. Was he a ghost? His skin was as pale as snow and he walked over…slowly. I felt hypnotised. Was I dreaming? Suddenly I stopped daydreaming and there stood the pale boy. I gulped loudly I was petrified.

Who was this boy? Was he alive? So many questions left unanswered. He just stood there…quietly. I then broke the silence by asking him

"Um…not to be rude but, who are you?"

He smiled politely and replied, " I am…"

He silenced "You are?" I said puzzled " I have no name, they didn't give me one." He answered. "They?" I thought. Before I could reply he asked me my name. "Ashley" I replied. I was so puzzled, many questions roamed around my head. He smiled and said, "We will meet again, Ashley and then he vanished into thin air.

The following day I received a letter. It read:

Dear Ashley

It is I, the boy with no name. I wanted to tell you my past yesterday but… they were coming. My true past is just a blur really. You seem kind, Ashley and you seem to have a strong will. Therefore, I can trust you with my secret. I am not human nor ghost. I am a Nothing. A creature whose hearts was taken from by the dreaded Heartless Imperials. We Nothings don't have any feelings. Our bodies are consumed by darkness. I wish to meet you again. Please reply. I want to be normal, I want to be whole. Like you.

Best Wishes

The Boy

My heart was pounding. A Nothing?!?! I was so sorry for him. I decided to write back. But how, there was no address! I will see if he's in the graveyard again tonight.
