The Eclipse 🐺

Chapter Twenty-Three: Darkness Within

I have no sense of time right now, as the spell required me to continue it as I started chanting. So, I couldn't stop or lose concentration. The spell would end when the three of them come back, so my sense of time had drifted away. I could only feel the darkness within me, how it felt so good how it temps me. But all this was in my mind...

I snap open my eyes to see that I was in my old house in this town. How everything was the same, the old wooden doors, the windows. How the fire place felt so warm, so warm in fact I could feel the tingle on my skin as I was inches from it. I smile to myself as this was so nice.

"Alice," a sweet voice spoken from behind me, but it was only small. My face lit up in shock but held a soft expression, as I turn to see my sister standing there. This time around, not blood or torn to shreds, just her normal self.

"Eliza?" I spoke as my breath hitched, as the sight of her was so overwhelming. She only gave me a cheeky smile, as children do, tears fell freely. But she just came forward, and I found myself kneeling to her level, as her mucky blonde hair swayed this way. Once she was close enough, she places her little hands on my cheeks and began to rub away the tears. But I leaned into her touch as it felt so real, like I was actually seeing her and feeling her.

"My little Sister," my voice crocked as she left her hands on my cheeks, as I look into her beautiful blue eyes. She only smiles at me, warmly. I blinked away the tears, but as I reopened my eyes her eyes were red like blood, her teeth extended into sharp fangs. Her hands went to my neck and gripped so hard that it began to cut oxygen off from my lungs. As I tried to breath, I blinked again, but she had changed appearance, but she wasn't my Sister anymore.

The thing had turned into a massive wolf. The Alpha that had killed my family. I was suddenly off the ground as it held me by my neck with one hand. The Alpha was covered in fur, it was like Peter's Alpha form.

"I'm not your Sister," the voice was dark and distorted, as he gives a wicked laugh. I wiggled my feet but it was pointless. "I'm a manifestation of you," my eyes widened as he spoke the worlds. Before my eyes, the creature had shifted into me, it was like looking into a mirror. "See, I'm you. I'm the monster you keep under lock and key," her face showed my true face. Her canine teeth extended into razor-sharp fangs, the sclera of her eyes turned blood-red, dark veins appeared under them. "Why keep me locked up for so long, you know you love the taste of blood that comes straight from the vein... How easy it slides down your throat, how it's so warm and juicy," Mirror me states, as she was taunting me on how I used to feed on human blood before I switched to blood bags...

"Your wrong," I choked out as her true face didn't vanish.

"We'll see," she smirks devilishly as before I knew it she came forward and bit into my neck, draining me of all of my blood. I became weak, and my eyes began to slowly shut as I couldn't keep them open for much longer...

Suddenly, I jolted in place as I snapped open my eyes and just saw complete darkness surrounding me. I've survived so much worse than this. I fought to be here today, I fought back the darkness within me for nearly four-hundred years. This wasn't going to be my down fall...Just then, I see a bright white light in the distance, it glowing faintly, like someone was shining it towards me. As I squint my eyes at it, it was like a ball of light and soon enough I began to walk too it...
