Far From Earth, Close To Home (Completed)

Chapter 6: The Glimpse

Me and Halo slept in his house. He didn't even talk the entire time. We just ate, and then he put blankets on the couch and went to bed.
I was awake for a while, and I fell asleep hours later. But when I did, oh boy, did hell break loose.
I found myself in the mansion again. The very area after the swinging axes. I made it. I looked around, and saw a silhouette dash past from a four-way crossroad in the hall. I ran after them. "Hello? Who is it?" Then, I just turned to where they went and there was only a door.
I opened it, and walked in a dark, eerie room. The door slammed and locked behind me, and I didn't dare to try and open it.
I saw a man, in ripped jeans, and a terribly dirty sweatshirt. He was holding a child to the wall...
I stood and watched them make that child suffer. I couldn't do anything.
The little girl looked at me, and I had dejá vú, but backwards.
I realized that I saw me back then.
I know I couldn't do anything, so I just stood, and when they were done, I began to lose vision.
I then tried to grab onto consciousness, holding it dearly. I was waiting for it. It had to happen.
Then, the child was kicked in the head by the man.
The man walked away.
The poor, little bruised girl was left unconscious, with a concussion.
I walked up to them, almost falling several times, as time fought back for it's claim on reality.
I dropped a little note I always held with me, and then I let go.
Did you think that was it? Oh, you are so wrong...

I woke up in a hazy version of Aerpei Town. Everything was grayish. I got out of bed, half asleep. I looked outside and saw that there were thousands of Darkened.
Like, holy...
That's a lot of Darkened.
I breathed for a bit, then walked out.
Nobody noticed me.
I looked at my hands, and I was pitch black.
I then ran inside and looked in the mirror.
I looked like me, but I had a little broken halo over my head. It was dark, emitting black light.
I had no facial features, just two bright, glowing eyes.
I walked out and started to walk to the center.
Darkened Wolves, Golems, and other people like me were around. I passed by a flame creature once. It glared at me,
I made it to the center, and I walked to Town Hall.
When I got to the door, I opened it hesitantly, and there was a glowing orb of dark energy.
The same one that went off in the battle. The one that came from the golem.
I walked up to it slowly. I was scared, and nothing could define it better.
I slowly reached to it, and when I touched it, and the dark became a broadsword again.
I held it and then I looked around.
I walked out and saw someone.
It was someone I didn't recognize, but did at the same time.
He looked at me with a smirk and said,
"You only live because your my last hope. Now go, sabotage the Light."
I clenched my first, and I almost ran to him and attacked out of control, like last time, but then everything went black in no time at all when he snapped.
