Blood Moon Dark Shadows

Love and Lights...

4:00 A.M

The lights from the buildings from the city were still not able to remove the darkness of the night. The world is still dark. Dark like death. Wrapping its blanket around the world saying You are my slaves. All the demons, monsters, ghosts, spirits they are always night creatures, haunting only in the depth of night. But when a faint light of nature emerges, they vanish to those depths of darkness. Quite interesting right.

That's what my mother used to say, whenever I had nightmares. The monsters of my dream scared me to death but everything vanished when my mother was there. She was my protector, my hero.

Once again I am suffering from a sleepless night, the nightmares never leave, but I know to deal with them. That's what I do every single time when I get shaken up by my nightmares. I hold my mother's locket close to my heart and remember her words," No matter how dark it is, what the monsters are trying to do, everything will end. There is light after darkness. Morning after night. Angels after monsters. Love after hate. No one is powerful enough. Everyone is born with weakness, and they protect them at all costs. Because they know, when you will know their weakness, you will defeat them. Nothing is permanent son, but one needs another to survive. If there is darkness there will be light, if there is evil, there is good, if there is hate, there will be love. Remember that."

A teardrop started to fall from my eyes.

I still miss her.

How always the person with good intent never lives.

She is no longer to hold me and console me. How I wish I could hear her one last time, a voice that comforted me in my storms.

Why Mom, why do you have to go?

Wiping my tears I looked at the sky. The colors are changing. There was the hint of blue arising from the dark. Light. A new morning, a new beginning. Like always, another day ended, another day began.

Nothing is permanent, one just gives way to another. One depends on the other, one stays with the other. They need each other to survive.

My phone started to beep, I was trying to snooze it thinking its the alarm clock. But stopped when I saw my best friend calling.

" What the heck, don't tell me he knows I woke up earlier than intended. I haven't posted anything. That's not possible. Maybe he has gained telepathy."

I picked up his call.

" He..y.., it's early, why are you calling me?" I tried to sound sleepy, with my deep, tired and hoarse voice hoping that I fool him properly, but,

" Do I look like an idiot to you, Luc?"

"No, why would you look like an idiot when you are actually an idiot."

"Funny, care to explain to me why you woke up early again? You know very well today is an important day for us. The Kazas takeover is a great deal for us. This is our first appearance in the Rufolian market, we have to be our best. Not a sleep-deprived zombie."

" What woke you up Xen?"

" Nothing woke me up, I woke up at my regular time."

"Yeah Yeah, did you fight with your brother again?"

" ....... Yes"

" Wanna go for a run?"

" Yeah, I would love to."

" Meet me at Central Park within 10."

" See ya."

He hung the phone. I looked at the light of dawn once again, then got up to be ready for the run.
