Dark and Twisted

Chapter one

 Shocked, I looked around. This place seemed so familiar to me. This... This was a place that felt like home; like I belonged here.

It's a feeling I had never known before, not like this.

And love, I felt such overwhelming love and peace, a tear rolled down my cheek unchecked.

I felt so safe.

How could a place like this exist? I did not know. My whole life, I was battle born, ready to attack at a word or an order. My life's mission is to protect humans and elves from the rogue dark ones, Grave Diggers.

Still unsure of where I was, I looked around and took in my surroundings. This has to be some kind of dream. This kind of thing doesn't exist for me in "real life." It was dark, so dark here, but not the kind of darkness to be afraid of, not exactly. More like, lying in the deep night with someone you love. It sounds silly, I know. But it's the only way I can describe it.

I finally looked up and saw a sky full of stars. Stars forming constellations that seemed to read all about feelings.

My feelings.

I felt a longing, such a longing for a love that I had never known. It was a deep kind of tugging on my heart, something deeper than I had ever felt.

Another tear ran down my cheek, unchecked, I didn't even know where it had come from to be honest.

I was so oblivious.

"Everlynn... love... you..." it sounded like whispers in my head, vapors on the wind.

"Everlynn... run..." the voice whispered.

Why did it, no he, sound so fucking familiar?

"EVERLYNN RUN!!" the voice screamed in agonizing pain before sounding so much weaker. "You can't see this... RUN!!" I could hear him sobbing, out there somewhere in the darkness.

This deep darkness was starting to present a cold chill.

"RUN EVERLYNN!" the mysterious voice shouted. "RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!"

I felt heat, pain, and an indescribable feeling of loss. I had lost someone or something that made me feel complete, made me feel like a whole person. Someone I LOVE is back there! Someone I love more than myself, so deeply, I can't even think about leaving him! The tears were streaming down my face reaching this realization. I took a deep breath to steady myself against whatever I was about to do. Whatever I was about to see. Then, I turned and ran towards the voice that was SO full of pain. I ran to save his life... and to save my own.

His life is my life.

His death is my death.

These were the only things I knew for certain at this point.

I ran to him because it was the only thing I could do.

"EVERLYNN... NOOOOOOOOO!!"

I jumped when the alarm clock went off. Jesus, another one of those damn mysterious dreams. I don't have time for this shit.

And yet, I couldn't help but wonder where the hell was all this coming from?

I've been a fighting fairy my whole life, it just didn't make sense. I glanced at the clock, 'Fucking shit, I'm running late again.'

Having no more time to think about it, I shoved the thoughts about the dreams to the back of my mind. It was time to get my ass up and ready for work. Seeing as I am running late, I figure I can be forgiven for using a few glamour spells to brush my teeth and straighten my long ass hair while I tear through my closet looking for clothes.
