Griffin sat transfixed on the crack in his ceiling, this time it was saying actual words to him. Words like "dark" and "father" and "grandfather." Griffin should have been afraid, but instead he was drawn to the crack like it was a big, delicious, gourmet cookie just sitting there waiting for him to take it.

"But I don't like the dark. I use this nightlight that Kylo Ren got for me here, see?" Griffin crawled on his hands and knees over to where Kylo Ren had plugged the night light into his socket in the corner of his room, pulled it out and lifted it up to the crack. It was a small replica of Darth Vader's light saber, bright enough to set the room in a dull red glow to keep the monsters away from Griffin at night. He didn't know too much about Darth Vader, but he still appreciated the night light, red was his favorite color and he had decided early on that if he were to have his own light saber it would definitely be red.

The crack went on, whispers in Griffin's mind telling him in broken sentences to stay away from the dark side, that what his father was doing was wrong and he didn't want to see Griffin go down the same path. Griffin was confused, told the crack one more time that he wasn't in the dark, the light was on in his room and that he was supposed to be picking his toys up for breakfast.

"Your father, Griffin. Don't follow in his path. My great grandson, do not follow in your father's footsteps."

Griffin cut his eyes, skeptical about what the crack was telling him. "My daddy? I can't follow my daddy? He's not here, he's at home." Griffin wasn't sure what was happening at all anymore, ever since he had come to live with Kylo Ren his whole life had been turned upside down. He developed these powers that he knew nothing about, there was a crack in the ceiling that was talking to him that wasn't even there in the first few nights he had spent in that room, his mother was always sad, and now he hears Kylo Ren's voice in his head from time to time! Griffin had no idea what to think of these new happenings around him, and what frustrated him was he had no one to talk to about them, no one to help him work his way through his problems. He was all alone.

"Kylo Ren, Griffin. Kylo Ren is your true father. Do not follow the path that he has set up for you, you will fail just as he is and just as I had. Do as your mother says, stay light young one."

"I don't understand." Griffin said, wiping his eyes as now he was just mentally exhausted from trying to understand everything the crack had told him. Kylo Ren wasn't his daddy, he even was confused himself when the word 'daddy' slipped past his lips on its own when he was in the hospital with him. His daddy was at home, waiting for him and his mother to come back to him so they could play baseball and color pictures and read books again.

Suddenly the whispers and humming in his mind ceased, and soon he felt like he was all alone once again. "Hello?" He asked, standing and staring up at the crack waiting for it to say more to him, to clarify itself some more as it had left Griffin confused. "Hellooooo?" Griffin shouted a little louder, which seemed to have grabbed the attention of his mother who then knocked on his door. "Griffin, come on honey breakfast time."

"Coming mommy." Griffin shouted as the door opened. He turned around and saw his mother holding an apple in her hands. "Pick up your toys and let's go, Griffin. Your pancakes are getting cold." Griffin looked from his mother back to the crack in his ceiling. "Mommy, it was talking to me again. It said 'don't go dark like my daddy,' what does that mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, Griffin. Go out and get breakfast, I'll pick your toys up." His mother said as she walked into his room with a worried look on her face. She placed her hand on the back of his head and pushed him toward the door. "But mommy--"
