Darkness
Characters: Rika, V, Saeran
There is a darkness that sits in everyone's mind. Sometimes it takes over entirely, sometimes it doesn't.
In her case, it slipped into every crevice of her very being. The darkness polluted her better judgement, it trapped the once innocent girl she used to be inside. Once it had invaded, that's when the voices of unreason started.
She willingly quit going to therapy. The dark voices whispered ideas of a paradise where nothing would be wrong. Her weakened mental state agreed with everything, drinking in the ideas like it was dying of thirst.
The only thing that could break through the darkness surrounding her was him. He was her sun, the only thing that could combat it.
Until it infected him too.
They were both broken people, he was willing to sacrifice everything for her. The voices whispered that he was lying to her, so she made him prove it. He offered his very being, he said that she could take his eye and he would still love her.
The darkness still wasn't satisfied with his answer. It silenced her true self by shutting it out completely. Like a candle being blown out by a harsh wind.
She took his sight, but the darkness was still not satisfied. So, she built her paradise. The vision she had was warped, the world would never be like how she wanted.
The voices influenced her to drug and condition a young boy to be devoted to her entire being. Her darkness spread to him and everyone who followed her. It would not stop until she was seen as a god.
They were all tainted by this warped vision of a paradise.
One incident broke her entire vision, however. The boy she had manipulated shot the man who gave his everything to her, relighting her true self that had been snuffed out for so long.
Her mentality broke, it was a war between darkness and truth.
At his funeral, the darkness faded. She wouldn't speak a word to anyone. She uttered one word when she saw his picture sitting on the grave, just one word to engrave his memory into her mind.
