Darkness: Land of Nightmares

XXV

The lights went completely out after it flickers rapidly for a few seconds. they were in darkness, Rachel ran over to the cashier and she dragged him down with her as they hid underneath the counter.

"What's happening?" He asked with a whisper.

"She's here," Rachel said with extreme worry in her voice. Her heartbeat increased vastly, her leg began bouncing up and down. The cashier looked confused.

"She? Who's she?"

"Shhh," Rachel said, throwing her arm onto his mouth, putting her other one on her mouth. The darkling woman appeared instantaneously into the store, she looked around then walked over to the front desk, which is where Rachel and the cashier were hiding, she stood right before them. Then removed the desk from existence, she removed the boundary that limited herself that was unable now became able, she had control over all powers, giving herself an infinite number of superpowers, immunity to all powers and negation over all powers.

They started to run away and she raised her hand, then the cashier realized it was getting harder and harder to run, eventually, he couldn't move anymore, he was stuck in place. Rachel turned around and saw that he stopped moving, she looked around and noticed that the woman wasn't in sight, she ran over to the man and grabbed his arm trying to pull him away, but he wouldn't budge.

Rachel realized that this happened to her in her dream, she realized that she was still around, watching her in the darkness. Rachel looked back at the man who had a scared facial expression, she looked away and saw the woman appear from what she thought was out of thin air.

"What do you want from me?" Rachel cried out.

"Every human is a moon, they only show their bright side, hiding their dark side, the darkness they wish to never act on, after all, darkness cannot drive out darkness," she said.

"Humans' evilest acts are killing, chaos, deception, you all have dark sides, dark issues that'll eventually creep into your lives and come back to you," she added.

"Why are you coming after me?" Rachel questioned, the cashier just stood there, unable to move, looking at this darkling woman directly into the dark circles that were on her all-white mask.

"I've come to lead you to another shore, a void, where eternal darkness lies, after all, demons only come once they feel it's time to show themselves," she said.

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

She raised her arm, taking Rachels' soul beyond the multiverse, she created a void that stacked into the countless amounts of voids, after she showed Rachel she took Rachel and put her soul back in her body. Rachel looked around in a panicked manner then realized she was back in her homeworld, she looked over at the cashier who was still frozen in place.

She then spoke, "this man will die in the next three minutes," Rachel looked at her, then back at him, then back to her.

"What? No! Undo whatever you just did," she pleaded.

"He doesn't deserve to die," she added.

Then she disappeared, the lights turned on and the cashier could move once more, but he only had a minute left to live, Rachel decided that she'll stay with him until his time comes. He turned towards Rachel to say his final words.

"I'll be completely honest, I'm kind of scared of dying right now," he chuckled nervously. "But I'll use my final moments to tell you that you cannot save me, but let me save you, please spend the rest of your days being the best that you can, and hopefully you find the person you love and cherish every moment with that special person."
