Light. The interpertation of light can be taken in many different ways and tones. But to one, it could be the apocalypse. Or to someone else, it could mean the world to them. Under certain cirumstances, light could be the apocalyptic evolution of everything. The underdog of the future problems. But then again, how can one say this to be true? Only darkness can end future light. Thus creating the battle between Light and Darkness.

Chapter 1

A small voice could be heard through the sleeping blond's ears. She groaned in her sleep and threw her pillow over top of her head, drowning out the noises in her room. The noises just got louder and louder. They were persistent. She growled and threw the pillow off of her and just laid there, motionless. A smiling face appeared infront of her. She closed her eyes and ignored it."Come on, Kelly.. You going to sleep all day?"
"Obviously not if you keep on bugging me," Kelly whined, "Can you let me sleep longer, Jackie?"
Jackie laughed and stood up straight, grabbing the blankets that covered Kelly and whipped them off of her, "Get up you lazy butt!" Kelly frowned and gave up. She sat up in defeat and hung her head, sighing. The blond teen rubbed her eyes and yawned. She looked at her friend and smiled somewhat.
"You're a real jerk, you know that?" Kelly grinned.
"I'll take that as a compliment," Jackie forced a smile. Kelly stared at her friends long and black hair that was tied back into a tight ponytail, her short bangs hanging infront of her face. Jackie had icy blue eyes that stuck out. She was about five foot three in height and was a small girl, not heavy set. Kelly, on the other hand, had blond hair with a single black streak on the right hand side of her hair. She had hazel eyes with, almost, a red tint around her pupils. Kelly was all of maybe, five foot four. She was slightly taller than Jackie and carried a bit more weight then Jackie as well, she was basically average for someone of their age.
"So your birthday is coming up?" Jackie stated, trying to make conversation and rid the two of them of the awkward silence that had come between them.
Kelly snapped back to reality, "Yeah.. The big nineteen," she smirked.
"Going out to get drunk?" her bestfriend let out a laugh as she picked up the comforters that had been tossed to the ground.
"Maybe, I don't know.. Andy wants me to go out with him tonight to a party at the club downtown. But I don't know if I should.. There's going to be a lot of people there I don't know. I don't want to do something I might regret," Kelly stared at Jackie with worried eyes.
"Kelly. You're a single girl with nothing to do on her birthday. I can't be with you on the Saturday because I'm working. And I can't get it off, you know that. Otherwise, I would go with you. Just go and have fun, that's what you're supposed to do on your birthday. Not stay indoors and wonder what the hell you are going to do for the rest of your life," Jackie frowned and glared at Kelly.
"Alright.. Alright," Kelly sighed and thought to herself, 'I don't know.. This all seems really risky to me.. What if I get drunk and leave myself vulnerable?!' Kelly shook her head and erased the negative thoughts from her mind. Just, going out and getting drunk didn't really seem like a real blast to her. She shrugged it off and stood up, "I suppose I'll get dressed and have my shower, you going to be gone when I come out?" she questioned Jackie.
"Yeah. I'm already running behind as it is. I'm supposed to meet Tim at the front entrance," Kelly noticed Jackie let out a slight blush when she said this.
"Tim again, eh?" Kelly teased.
"Oh quit it!" Jackie picked up the pillow Kelly had thrown on the ground previously and threw it at Kelly's face. Kelly caught it and laughed, "Kelly.. We both know Tim only hangs around me to get close to you," there was a hint of sadness in Jackie's voice. Kelly noticed and sighed. She didn't know what to say. There wasn't much she really could say. They both knew it was true. Timothy White. He was like the guy next door to them. A tall brunette with a fragile build. But good looking at the same time. Tim had been in love with Kelly since the first day they had met. But Kelly didn't feel the same way... ever.
"That's not true, stop spewing lies, Jackie," Kelly smiled and walked passed Jackie and into their small bathroom. She turned around and faced her friend, "Besides. I think you two make a cute couple," Kelly teased once again. Jackie blushed terribly and went back to fixing their bed. Kelly, on the other hand, had her head slumped against the door, thinking. Sure, she felt bad for Jackie, but there was nothing she could do about how Tim felt about her. He had confronted her once about it, but that was about it. Kelly had turned him down immediately because she didn't have any feelings for him, except for just wanting to be friends with him, "I don't know what to do.." Kelly said silently to herself.
Kelly just ignored the thoughts she was having now and reached into the shower and turned the water on, stripping down and getting into the shower, which was already steaming by this point. The water felt nice and was refreshing. Jackie noticed the steam coming out through the bottom of the door and shook her head in disapproval. She finished getting ready and slipped on her shoes and headed out the front door of their apartment.
Jackie made her way to the elevator and hit the button that had an arrow pointing down. It lit up and she let out a small sigh, "Kelly.." she said out loud, "That girl just doesn't know how to have some fun everyone now and then.." The elevator doors opened and Jackie stepped inside, watching the elevator doors close as she finished pressing the button that told the elevator to go to 'Ground' level. Jackie felt the sudden jolt the elevator made as it slowly made it's way down to ground level. She watched the digital numbers on the elevator move as it went down the floors. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. G. Ground. The doors opened and Jackie stepped out, seeing a tall figure sitting on the couch in the main lobby entrance. She smiled and walked over to the figure.
"I didn't keep you waiting long, Tim, did I?" Jackie said hesitantly.
"No, not really. I've only been here for a couple minutes," Tim gave her a soft smile as he stood up, "Is Kelly coming?" he asked curiously.
Jackie just smiled, "No. Not today. She's going over to Andy's again." Jackie noticed Tim's facial expression as he nodded. She almost sighed, but stopped herself, "Shall we get going then?" she wrapped her arm around his and began walking. Tim made Jackie look like a shrimp when they walked side-by-side. She chose to ignore this, even though it did make her feel somewhat awkward around him.

Kelly stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around herself and then opening up the bathroom door immediately. She took in a deep breath and let out a deep sigh of relief, "Thank god! It was so hot in there!" she told herself. She reached her hand back in the bathroom and flicked on the bathroom fan, watching the steam begin to disappear as the fan did its work. The apartment was nice and cool for Kelly. Especially after having such a hot shower. She looked around the apartment for some clean clothes. She managed to pull out a white tank top and a pair of black jeans. Eventually, she found a pair of white socks as well. She took off her towel and put on her clothes. When she finished with her clothes, she picked up the towel and flipped her hair forward, taking the towel and furiously drying her hair with it. She laughed as she pulled the towel away and looked in the mirror, "What a mess," she said to herself. Her hair was flipping every which way and was clearly tangled. Kelly grabbed the brush that was laying on the floor and used it to brush her hair out. She didn't need to worry about her hair being frizzy, it would just flatten out like always and add a little curl to the bottom of her hair.
"I guess I should head over to Andy's then?" Kelly asked herself quietly. She grabbed her black gloves off of her dresser and slipped them on. She then made her way over to the front door and slipped on her black runners, grabbing her knapsack and throwing it onto her back. As she went to open the door she stopped moving. Something prevented her from walking out the door. She turned around and looked behind her, checking to see if someone was there. The room had become incredibly cold and clammy. She didn't know what to make of it. Kelly shook her head and the feeling went away. Instead, she got a sudden chest cramp and fell to her knees, "Unh!" she grumbled and held her right hand to her chest in a fist. Kelly opened up her eyes as the pain went away. She just sat there for a moment, "What.. was that all of a sudden? It felt like.." she stopped herself and just stood up, forgetting what had just happened, "I'm going crazy," she said to herself.

Kelly just opened up the front door and walked out, shutting the door behind her, leaving whatever was in her apartment, behind.

A/N: Okay. The official CHAPTER ONE is complete. It took me a while to write because I have been furiously trying to finish my Naruto + Sasuke FanFiction. This story is a bit in depth and is truly emotional. You'll notice that if you become faithful to it and continue reading the coming chapters. The chapters are worded in a fashionable, yet confusing, style. You'll see what I mean in the coming chapters. And every chapter starts off with its own little blurb ((Like a Prologue, except different. The official Prologue for this story was the "chapter" done before this one.))
