Tenebrae

I'm bored. I'm hungry. I'm in an empty world and I don't like it. With a flick of my wrist I could destroy this world. That might be fun, but it wouldn't last. Destruction is quick. It doesn't last. What am I going to do? I don't think I'd like to go home just yet. It's no more fun there. Maybe I should go back to the world of the living. Humans are weak, pathetic creatures, but at least I could satisfy my hunger. Hmmmm? What is this I feel? There's a disturbance in my spiritual energy. It's no surprise considering how far my spiritual web stretches, but this tug is rather strong. I might have to investigate. It's probably nothing…but…my day may have just gotten a little more exciting.

As I take a last look at the house I wonder, will I actually find him? I've never left home before – not really. For the first time in my life, I feel alone.

"Wait Miss Elizabeth!"

I look back and see Mey-Rin running towards me. She looks different than usual.

"Miss Elizabeth, I want to come with you. If there is any hope that he's still alive…"

"You sound so sad Mey-Rin. I assume you don't believe he's alive either. It's ok, no one does."

"It's just that…well…I have a bad feeling. Whenever I was around the young master it was just…"

"Don't make yourself cry Mey-Rin. If you would like to help me I would be honored to have your help."

I could tell that it would mean a lot to Mey-Rin. I figured she would follow me anyway and this way she wouldn't get hurt in the process. Anyway, maybe Mey-Rin could be helpful. If nothing else she would be good for company.

"Well, let us be off."

"Yes Miss Elizabeth. Let's be going."

I really hope I don't come to regret this.
