Chapter Five: Darkness

Wyn's P.O.V. 

My eyes slowly forced themselves open. Sun beamed through the window on my left. I groaned and sat up. There was a pink sticky note next to my bed. It had writing in silver sharpie on it. Curious, I picked it up and read it. 

Wyn,
Adam and I went to run a few errands. The dogs are outback. They're already fed, so you don't have to worry about that. Be back by 1 PM to have lunch. 
~Alesa ♥

I smiled slightly to myself. At least they notified me that they left. I forced myself to stand up, and walked to the kitchen. The dogs were running around outside. They seemed to be having the time of their lives. They could handle being out there for a bit longer. 

When I touched the fridge handle, something happened. A strange, black vine thing cover the spot I touched. It reminded me or dark magic or something. My eyes widened. I gasped and stepped back, terrified and confused. I put my hand on the counter behind me. The same thing happened to it. 

I closed my eyes tight. "I'm still dreaming." I said to myself. I began pinching myself. "This is all just another dream. Adam and Alesa will come to wake me up soon. And everything will be fine."

I kept my eyes closed for a few seconds. But when I opened them, everything was the same. The floor before me slowly began turning pitch black. I screamed and ran back to the guest room. What's happening to me? I thought. 

I slammed the door behind me and locked it. My heart was pounding hard in my chest. As I ran towards the bed, the ground behind me turned a shiny black. How it formed was almost like small puddles that were created as I stepped on them. Some faded black smoke arose from them. It spread, almost like the atom effect. 

I curled up into a ball on the bed. Some dark lighting bolt shaped patterns started branching out from behind me. They spread across the wall until it was covered in what looked like creepy tree branches against the evening sky. The faint black smoke came out from behind me, and flooded the room. 

When I went to wipe away a tear, it was pitch black. I was overcome with fear and despair. What I felt and what was happening reminded me of a song I had memorized a few months back. I softly sang it to myself, trying to remember the words as I went. 

"Every child in Valoran has heard the tale before,
About the cursed mummy boy who felt his heart no more 
So sad and lorn, the helpless lad, Amumu was his name,
He ventured out to find a friend and learn about his bane.

For many years, young Amumu traveled through the lands,
Determined to make friends, if only they would understand,
But even when Amumu stood upon the ledge of home,
His hope would disappoint him, and he would remain alone.

But then the curse began to whisper in his ear,
And would confirm what was Amumu’s biggest fear,
It pledged that never shall someone become his friend,
It pledged that he shall be alone until his end.

The sorrow and despair,
Became too much to bear.

The moment when Amumu realized what he had done,
Too late it was, for him, for them, the evil curse had won.
The anger and the anguish overwhelmed his fragile soul,
And caused a wicked tantrum that he never could control."

The song is in the media. It's called "The Curse of The Sad Mummy". It's from League of Legends. Although I don't play the game, I love this song. But yeah, plot twist! Mwahaha! New chapter soon!
