In The Dark

-Chapter 1-

I sat at the little window gazing at the moon that shone brightly on the cold summers night.

It was pretty unusual for it to be cold in the summer but that's the least of my worries at the moment.

My eyes blurred with unshed tears threatening to fall at any given moment. I missed them.

Roughly two years ago on this day everything changed for me and it wasn't for the better.
I wanted some peace.
I stood up from the seat I sat in everyday for almost two years and gathered up my courage to go and make peace with what has happened.

With my shaky hand on the doorknob I exited the room I spent most of my time in isolating myself from the world since since that day.

My footsteps echoed in the emty hallway, walking past the living room.
I noticed Jocelyn asleep on the couch.

Jocelyn, I'm forever thankful for her.If it weren't for her I probably would've died that day, she somehow found me and had been taking care of me ever since. Luckily she was asleep right now.

I opened the door as the chilly breeze hit my face making me shiver. The lump in my throat made me stop my movements for a couple of seconds before I started walking to the fimiliar path through the trees

The house I lived in since I was young, was situated deep in this forest. There were many trees and animals. It's all I've ever known since I grew up in this place.

I haven't been outside for nearly two years, I felt relieved to breathe in the fresh air outside after swearing to myself I'd never leave that house. Each step I took towards the familiar clearing, felt as if my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

My feet carried me deeper and deeper into the trees until I found it. That very same big tree was there, yet not the things I was looking for.

Of course how stupid can I be, it's been two years, they wouldn't be here.

There was no trace of anything. It was almost as if nothing ever happened at this place.

The huge pine trees rustled in the chilly breeze. The memories flashed through my mind as I stumbled back a bit hitting my back against a nearby tree.

The screaming...

The blood...

And the guilt thereafter...

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to come here, but I felt that I had to do it. I just wanted a piece of my sanity to remain.

I sighed as I sat down in the grass. This place was beautiful. I remembered some of the happy memories me and my parents made here before their death.

A movement behind me made me quickly turn my head around only to be met with the sight of an elk.

It was so pretty, yet I didn't want to disturb it, this could be the animals home. I carefully stood up trying not to startle it and backed away slowly. The elk however took a bold step towards me and nuzzled its head into my palm.

I was quite shocked to say the least, usually these creatures don't trust so easily.

A smile slowly made its way on my face. I haven't really smiled in a long time.

The moment with the cute elk ended when in one quick movement it took off almost as if something has scared it.

I sighed once more. It was probably time to go back home.

The Dark sky was lit up by a million stars that looked like lots of fireflies. You could hear the crickets chirping and some animals here and there that were awake. They were all so dependant on one another yet they didn't know that.

A thought came to my mind.
I haven't used any of my abilities in a long while. I wondered if I still could.

I thought about what I could try, then it popped up. Something my mum taught me when I was younger. We used to train in this very same spot.

I once more sat down in the grass and closed my eyes.

I felt nothing at all, yet when I opened my eyes the little water droplets from the plants as well as small flowers and plant shrubs were floating around in my hand.

I chuckled a bit. My mum would probably be proud of me now. I never got this completely right. I didn't deserve someone being proud of me though.

A noise scared me suddenly and when I looked up, a shadow appeared from the trees infront of me.
This was something my parents warned me about...
