The Dark in This World

Chapter 3 Skye

My eyes are open, I think. Everything is dark, the sun, and any source of light was consumed by the darkness. This would've never happened if it wasn't for Itzal, he created it. Last thing I remember with light was the dance. The school dance, also known as prom. There was barely any light there either but it was more than this. Last thing I remember actually seeing was him. I felt my face get warm, I was blushing, I miss him. I don't know where he is. He disappeared when the darkness came. I felt my way around the house. I needed food, its man-made food, since its hard to grow food without a sun. I have a dagger on me at all times. Its so dark that Itzal sends minions out to kill, since he doesn't want to get his hands dirty, you wouldn't see it coming.
My clothes are torn. My hair is in a messy ponytail. I haven't showered since, well since the last time I could see, I know absolutely disgusting, right? Well if you were in my situation you would understand.
*BOOM!!*
The sound of thunder shakes the house. Lightning strikes the house, the house is on fire. "Light!" I yelled excitedly. Then it strikes again.
Before I knew it I was in a strange place following someone home. The sun is still here. This place is absolutely beautiful. "I look like shit compared to this place!" My mind yelled. I looked down, I was covered in dirt, red torn top, and gray looking pants, with brown fluffy looking boots.
By the time I looked up we were at someones porch, knocking on the door. Then we were walking in. I still had the dagger attached to my belt around my shirt, I wasn't taking it off.
This girl, Freya, stared at me like I'm a scum from the streets. "What?" I asked. "Are those the only clothes you have?" She asked. "Uhh... Yeah." I responded. She looked at me with pity.
"Want new clothes, maybe a shower, you look terrible." She said. "Hey! You don't look to good yourself." I told her. "Ok... Well let's have you take a shower, I'll get clothes for you." She said leading me upstairs to a bathroom, a big bathroom, with a nice shower. She turned on the water got out towels and showed me where to find all of the soap, and how to turn it off, then explained how she was going to look for clothes for me, then she explained how they might be a bit baggy on my since I'm like a paper compared to her, is how she put it.
I hopped in the shower, it felt so nice, its been a while. It took me about 30 minutes to get all the dirt off of me. But when I got out I was actually clean. It felt amazing. She had put clothes outside the door. It looked almost the same as my other ones, but not torn. I put them on, they were a little bit big, but its ok because they are clean and comfortable.
I got downstairs and she looked at me like I actually looked ok. The other girl, Alaina, was changed to, into a purple shirt and blue jeans with mismatched socks. "There, we all look.... Normal?" Freya said. "Sooo... Background stories go!" She points at me. I explained my life story to her, she blinked a few times then turned and looked at Alaina, and she explained everything she knew, then Freya explained her life.
We all knew each other a bit better now, but none of us know how we got here exactly, storm, boom, we were all here. Freya's mom said we should stay here tonight, so we did.
"I kinda like this family." I thought to myself. "I know it hasn't been long, but I like them." I thought.
I slowly drifted off to sleep, an image of Itzal popped into my head. I woke up barely wanting to breathe.
"Ben!"
