The End

Darkness

I can hear them screaming from behind me but my legs won't let me stop moving. I know i only have one choice but i can't force myself to make it. I can feel myself slowing down and i don't know how much longer i can keep running.

I stumble over the tree roots as I try to keep up. The wind is whipping my hair around and I see my mom just in front of me and I look back to see my brothers falling behind. I see the house behind my brothers glowing and erly blue and her eyes looking right at me.

I can't erase the image in my mind that we just saw. It plays in my head like an old movie. Blood runs down my face from her trying to keep me there. I try to wipe it off but more keeps fluiding down my face and down my chest. We are slowing down but we have to keep going.

It couldn't of been her... She was different...She was cold and her lifeless body was no longer filled by her. Evil took over her and i could see it in her eyes the last time she looked at me the way she used to always. My mom wouldn't do this... Evil would.

It was very clear when it made her offer. One must choose to join her in darkness and then the rest could leave this awful place and be free from the darkness that has surrounded us. She looked at me after she spoke and scream my name. It was obvious that she wanted me to join her and live in this evil house with her.

My moms were happy in the house when we first arrived. Then darkness seeped into my mom's soul and brought her to this evil that eventually consumed her. I have to save my family and i know the cost and pain it will be. I keep thinking of ways to get us out of here and out of the darkness but my mind is blank. I know there is only one way.

I let my legs stop and i fall to the ground. I see my mom and brothers stop shortly in front of me. I roll onto my back and look to the night sky and see the moon and stars looking back at me. For one moment i feel peace as i exhale into the cold night. I hear my family running back to me as they have realized what i am about to do. I hear their muffled screams as i start to close my eyes but it's too late. I look at them one last time and whisper to her, take me with you...

In that moment i feel the darkness creep up my body and i scream from the pain that has overcome me. I feel her presence as she takes the last of me and i know it is the end.
