Sorry for the long wait...I was plagued with writer's block...well, not
really...I just didn't feel like writing! Oh well...here's chappie 12!
Chapter 12
"Lecta," the harsh voice said in a jagged whisper. It had started out as light as a summer breeze, gently caressing my tortured mind, but the message grew ever more distressful and urgent. "Lecta."
"Please, stop," I begged. "I don't understand!"
I struggled in vain against the invisible bonds that kept me chained in one position. Impenetrable darkness pressed in on me from all sides; I could not see anything.
"Filae nox noctis..."
In a sudden bust of rage and energy, I screamed, "I don't speak Latin! English! I speak English!"
"Chosen One....a daughter of the night..." the voice had lost its harsh tones and was now speaking slowly, hesitantly.
"Yes," I whispered back, filled with anticipation.
The voice began to chant in a hauntingly lilting tone.
"Born with the blazing sun
In the dead of the night
Distant from the dark
But further from the light
Faces the dark
Hands in a fist
Unable to escape
Death's final kiss
Obeying, defying
They'll catch her this time
Living, dying
For the race sublime
Slipping closer
Run though she might
She can't escape
Powerless to fight
Drowning in life
Sacrificing breath
Plagued with darkness
Doomed to Eternal Death."
It paused, seemingly awaiting my reaction. I didn't move a muscle, hoping for a better explanation as to what this recitation meant; but I wasn't so lucky as to receive one.
"The puzzle is nearly complete, but the key is missing...strayed from its path...yet so close to its final destination...the key shall soon be found...and then..." I strained to hear the voice, fading fast, seeping into the darkness from whence it came.
"And then?" I prompted, listening with bated breath. There was silence, thicker than the air before a storm. Finally, when I had almost lost hope of hearing it again, the faint whisper brushed across the room on a light breeze
"And then...the Realm of the Night shall overpower the Realm of the Human Race and it will result in the Darkest Realm that will last for all eternity!" The voice rose to a scream; wind whistled and howled around me, stealing the breath from my lips and lashing my hair painfully against my skin. Thunder crashed and lightning tore the sky in half, the world ripping at its seams, letting all hell break loose.
*cough* *cough* don't mind the terrible poetry...lol, idk y I even put it in there cuz it's so bad! But w/e...just review!
