Chapter 1 - Darkness Consumes, Light Overcomes
Disclaimer: Don't make me cry...
'What is this, this darkness? Where am I?' she asked this as she felt herself fall; falling into a soft, cold darkness. She was forgetting; forgetting everything that she had once known. Her memories began to slip. There was no more pain, no more suffering, no more happiness, no more times where she could say, "Remember when…" They were slipping away almost as fast as she was falling. No matter how hard she tried to hold onto them they seemed to fall faster from her. She saw her mother's face. She saw her family and her once lovely childhood, or what she had of it. One face she could not forget out of everything that seemed to fly from her was the face of her mother, as she laid in her blood, with scarlet tears running down her face. Her eyes at the time had turned to a cold blue. She had died unhappy, but she couldn't remember why. She wanted to release that sorrow feeling, but she didn't know how. She had forgotten how to cry.
All she could think about was that tainted, morbid memory of her mother. She felt something that drew her to her mother no matter if her last memory of her was a bad one. She had this urge to be wrapped in her tight embrace and never to be let go. Soon that image was gone and she felt no more. She was an empty shell of a girl who used to be, but was no more. Her dimming light that surrounded her gave out. She blinked and couldn't tell whether her eyes were open or not. The chilling air became numbing as she fell into eternal darkness. She became drowsy and drifted off into a dreamless slumber.
A light was seen through her closed eyelids. She slowly opened her eyes to see a bright figure watching her. Where had she seen this figure before? She seemed so familiar. She continued to stare, and all the more the person meant nothing to her. Nothing.
This figure watched with her deep, blue eyes as the little girl fell into a deeper darkness then her herself had ever reached. She slowly descended and caught the falling girl. She fell no more and they both stood still in that spot. She held the little girl close to her and tried to warm her cold body. The girl stared at her blankly welcoming the warmth, but then again not welcoming to warmth because she didn't know how. A crystal tear drifted slowly, from it's blue eyes, down the her face. The girl reached up to wipe it away feeling the warm, salty tear between her fingertips.
This bright angel ripped off a chain from around her neck and wrapped it around the girl's neck. There were now two charms around her neck. The one she had before and the one she had given. All the little girl did was stare at her with an even more blank expression not comprehending anything at all. "I love you…" was the last thing she said to the little girl before she released her into another fall.
The girl reached her hands up to the dulling light. She didn't know why or what for, but she had a longing to be with that bright angel, but bright she wasn't anymore. Whether the girl understood it or not that bright angel had given her light to the girl so that she could escape for the darkness. The consequences of giving up her own light was pulling her into darkness. Soon she was as lost as the girl, but the last thing she saw before she forgot everything was the girl disappearing from the darkness. She smiled then smiled no more and continued an her never-ending fall.
