Darkness, normally conceived as just a visual illusion, or nature sleeping. But not here. Here, its alive, moving, shifting, hungry for light. They shifted, reaching towards me, knowing that I couldn't move. They lurched, speeding towards me. I tried to scream, run, do something, but I couldn't. They reached me, Everything flashed, and then...I woke up.

Everything brightened, and I was sweating like a fire hose. I got out of bed and went to my bathroom, attempting to wash my face. The water cascaded across my face, and I was finally cooled down. I dressed and ate my breakfast, then ran to my door. Once outside, I ran around trying to regain some form of calm. Once I was back, I grabbed my GearPack and ran to the academy.
