Where Has She Gone?

The Beginning Of Terror - Prologue

I let out a light gasp as I felt life come back to me... The sweet light returning to my eyes as I sat up, but then I felt dizzy... Drowsiness reaching my head once again, causing me to plop back down onto my back...

"What happened...? Why am I here again..?"

I felt myself let out a breath as I attempted to re-collect my thoughts... But alas, I couldn't achieve that simple task.. So I simply tried to get up once more, this time succeeding in the process, before stumbling and placing my hand on a nearby wall for balance...

But I quickly recoiled after I had felt the wall, which was squishy and completely black.. And that was when I realized, I wasn't in the Sanctum anymore, no! I was surrounded in a room of black... Which had a table off to the side, along with a torch, while the floor was covered with a rug so I wouldn't fall through the squishy substance that the room contained..

But why? I sat down at the table near the torch, once again trying to collect my thoughts, and that was when it hit me.

The darkness!

"It must have gotten control of my body over night, oh, you..."

I ended up muttering a few curse words under my breath as I held my head down on the table... The stress was already building up on me ever since Carmen told me that he had a new job offer on the table... It was all the way in Kansas, in the United States, so obviously you can imagine my stress of being away from my husband for that long... But I had to stay in London, the sanctum still needed to be rebuilt after all.

I was just completely silent as the warm feeling from the torch helped the temperature from getting too low... Until, I snapped my head up to see that a bright screen appeared on one side of the room, and it displayed... Darkness.

Nothing was happening on this screen, it was just dark, so I simply got up from the chair to only sit down on the rug... Just to watch what was going to happen.

***

I sat there for couple of minutes, before the screen switched from darkness to show Elise in a room, like... By herself...

Wait, I knew that room, that's where I slept from a day to day basis, which was in my house, obviously... But my body was by itself, that must mean that my husband had already left...

So I simply watched as the darkness controlled my body, getting up out of bed and getting dressed, like it already knew where everything was...

"Oh! I get it... You've been watching me for years now, haven't you?!"

But then I felt myself jump slightly when the body simply looked toward my tiny camera, and smiled as it gave me a thumbs up...

"Wait- you can hear me?"

"Yes, I can... And just so you know, I'm the only one who can, so don't even try to call out for help."

With this comment, I actually shut up, afraid of what it might do next... Because, it's the darkness, and we should know what the darkness could do with my body...

Oh man, if I have to deal with this for the next few years, we are going to be in for a lot of twists and turns.
