Chapter 1
He's hiding in the darkness. He doesn't know, but I know he's there. I can feel him watching me. I look up and I feel like our eyes connected.Come to me.I look around, and I realize that it wasn't spoken out loud, but in my head. I look back up and I get the feeling all over again, that I was looking right into his eyes. Come to me child, I have been waiting for you for 16 years.I feel my body rise and walk downstairs heading towards the door, heading towards him.
Heading towards the unknown, I walk to where I know he was. He grasps my hand." "Child, I couldn't wait anymore. I was supposed to wait until your 17th birthday, but they have figured out who you are. They are after you. I must take you home." I looked into his eyes, realizing he was telling the truth.
Knowing that as soon as I stepped outside of the house the alarm went off, my options were go with him and find out the unknown or go back and possibly get kicked out or punished. I'll go with the former. I nod my head right as two hands wrap around my waist, and I scream.
Shit! Diane, cover the Darklight's mouth NOW! I scream even louder, struggling as a cloth covers my mouth.No child, do not breathe! I hold my breath, struggling. I feel the guy I was with grab the arms around my waist, trying to pull them away. "Let the girl go!" I hear the voice behind me- a guy- laugh. Do you honestly think I'd let her her we finally got her ? You're a fool!
I feel the tears streaming down my cheeks as I struggle to be let go. The guy holding me squeezes me making me let go of the rest of the breath I had. Forcing me to breathe again. I smell the poison on the cloth. Chloroform. It was strong, I had only took one breath but I was gone.

"She can't know that she is the Darklight, until her 17th birthday. It's the only way we can protect her." I'm laying in a bed, no a crib, so I can only hear the voices, I don't know who is speaking, but it's a woman.
"I know that we must protect her, but she should grow up knowing who she is!" That voice! Its the voice of that guy, the one standing outside my room wanting me to go with him.
"Not until the child reaches 17, you may be the one to watch her over the years, and you may be the one to bring her home, but not until her birthday."
I hear my self start crying.

"The Darklight is waking up sir." Thank you Damien. I try to struggle out of the chains I feel around my wrist, even though I know its of no use, I'm still drowsy from the chloroform I wonder why these people want me, and what a Darklight is even though it sounds familiar. We live in a world of dark and light, then again doesn't everyone? There is a difference though, see ours is different. You always know which side everyone is on. The tattoo on everyone's back proves it. We were all born with a tattoo on our back it was either black or white- dark or light, obviously- and unique. When I was old enough to understand I was always told to never let anyone see my tattoo. Mine is extremely unique, mines not just black or white. I have two angel wings, one black and one white. Since I don't know why this is I follow the rules, only my parents and me know about them. Everyone thinks I just have White wings, because my family is light of course.
The two sides are separated by community, We never stray to their side and them on ours. I've always been curious on what it was like on the dark side of life, but Our queen, Victoria would never allow us to go find out, besides we're not supposed to wonder what it would be like, no one does. It's like if one of us fell in love with the other side, we would be shamed, and shunned.
I feel fingers run up my arm, I look over and see a stranger. He has a midnight black hair that called for my fingers to run through, his eyes an emerald green that could draw the most pure saint in wanting to swim in the deepest part. He looks as if he was my age or a year older. I'm positive that he has a fan club of many girls. "Hello, Aurora, glad to see you have awaken."
I give him a dirty look, I can tell this boy is the one who grabbed me from behind earlier. "Who are you, and how the hell do you know my name!?" The jerk had the nerve to laugh. " Who am I she asks? Maybe you should be asking who are you? hmm. Well since you asked princess I shall tell, I am Lucas. As of how I know your name? well we all know who you are princess."
Great he's dark, I can tell by the name."Will you not call me princess?!?" Lucas gets this sly grin, making me look at his lips,which seem soft and inviting. I shake my head ugh he's dark! " Anything you say Princess" Great, he mocks. Why do you call me that anyways, And why do you keep calling me Darklight? Lucas smirks. Well that I will leave to your father to answer.
