You would not believe how happy it made me to make this 8D I had total writer's block for a long time, but now I'm back :}

[ oo, yeh, just thought I should tell you, the POV switches from Lavi, to Allen, Allen again, then Lavi.

You fear the night, crave for anyone's company, and though you won't say it, you're horrified of what the nightfall brings.

And so I'll be here, right next to you, ready to wake you up before things turn too ugly.

I can never tell whether it's a dream or reality. More than anything, not being able to know the difference is what horrifies me the most.

It's always the same.

I'm always, always alone in this world of complete darkness.

Discarded weapons lay broken on the ground, long forgotten about.

And their owners are found in the same exact manner.

The lingering presence of death is always current, though it's certainly not welcome.

And all around me, there are dying, desperate screams and screams and screams.

That is the only noise in this world.

And it's music to my ears.

There's someone there.

[ Not a someone. / A shadow / My shadow . ]

And he's always and always there.

[ Threatening to take over my entire being. / To turn me into something I loathe . ]

And in this world, he always wins.

I don't have any control of myself [ Him / ]

I can feel him writhing inside me, my body slowly becomes his.

And so, with my own hands, I kill the ones I love.

[It's all his fault / ]

I never wanted it to be this way.

This isn't me.

I'm not doing this!

Someone, anyone, stop me!

But no one does.

No one ever will.

And all that's left is a bloody, messy heap of corpses, all of whom died cause of me.

I hear another scream, and wondering who's it is, I remember that I'm the only one left in this world.

The hand that's held in mine is now trembling.

Fingers frantically begin to dig their way into my palm and the boy lying just beside me thrashes in his place, unable to stop a whimper from escaping his lips.

I grab his shoulders and roughly shake him until his eyes quickly flutter open and he stares at me in disbelief.

"L-lavi…?"

"Yeah, it's me. You're okay now."

He nodded and shut his eyes as a few choked sobs shook his body violently. I pulled him closer to me and wrapped him in my arms, softly whispering words of comforts, all which weren't true, but neither of us wanted to admit that. And we stayed like that for the rest of the night, silently praying for the sun to rise soon and to leave this all behind.

I really don't like the end :_: I tried to write it as nicely as I could, but it still ended up failing 8| booo.

I'll start on the next chapter in a few days when I come back from vacation xD
