Prologue: Darkness
The night settled like a thick cloak, submerging the world into shades of grey and black. There were no stars tonight, for the sky was covered with ominous charcoal clouds, warning of a fierce storm to come. No leaves rustled in the forest; no sounds of animals scrambling for the safety, or of night-creatures slithering out of their lairs to hunt. It was as if the cloak of darkness smothered all signs of life as well.
Keep running
Someone coming. Someone running, taking in rattling breaths. Someone crashing through the underbrush, crushing dried leaves underfoot.
No, don't look back
Eyes wide with fear, the rattling breaths becoming more urgent.
So close, almost—
A bolt of blood-red light cut through the darkness like a knife. Then, a final crash of defeat as it hit its mark.
Silence.
It was dark again.
A/N: Second story! I know it's a short prologue but more chapters to come. I'll probably post the first official chapter in a few days. But in the meantime… Review!
