Darkness

Blinding darkness

I couldn't see a thing

blinded...

I felt blinded

My body floated in the unknown darkness, to my mind it felt familiar. Where there was once peace, the calmness I felt connected with one with myself.

A cold breeze blew pass shivers enlighten my skin my once warmth gone no fire in my soul just emptiness, a cold void of emptiness.

I didn't know how long I stayed floating in the dark for I made no sound it's as if I couldn't, finally realizing that I might be dead. I couldn't even cry just a present sadness settled in my chest.

I didn't get a chance at happiness and I regretted the measly old feeling of the past.

The soft laughter of a child draws me from my thoughts. It got louder as if it was moving in my direction but where, darkness was I could see.

I search and search but darkness was the only thing I founded. Then the sound stop, like it wasn't there before.

A sigh passes my lips completely wanting to forget what I heard.

"Hey," a small voice said from behind, I turn to find a small boy he was about 4 in age "What are you doing here," he said curiosity clear in his tone. I was mainly confused but I realize he was the one laughing before.

I sit down wanting to be at his height "I wish I knew" I said his flash with a glint of sadness "you should be up there" he said pointing up but all I see was darkness no exist.

"Where am I?" I said meeting his bright hazel eyes "the realm of the waiting" he said being proud "so far other than you I'm the only one who has been here" he continued but this time he looks down, sad.

He felt so familiar to me like I knew him. But that's impossible, I haven't met him before.

I wanted to hug this little bean, but when I got close to touch him, my hand passed through him. I jump back nearly falling over.

Is he dead? I wanted to ask, but something in my mind told me not to.

"So can you show me to the exist little bean" I said wanted to get out of the dark. He happily leads the way with the biggest smile present on his lips. I couldn't guess what causes it, but I felt like no one hasn't given him any attention in a while.

The direction we were going left me speechless the darkness wasn't present anymore for it morph into the same resemblance as my room back when I was younger with the cream walls and maroon green sheets.

Emotions came to surface but as soon as it came it disappeared. I didn't know I had to stop to look but the retreating of the boy told me to keep up with him.

I look around in awe of my very own home many years ago. It was it no denying it.

"Miss you need to keep up," he said pointing behind me, the darkness was coming closer shallowing everything that was once there I shuddered not wanting to be in that dark again.

After a few stairs, we stop at a door glowing with light with the outline of an Angel and a devil on the top.

"Okay, we are here" his little form turn to face me "it was nice meeting you miss" he began to walk away, his awkward form drifting.

"Wait wait will I see you again little bean" I whispered hoping he will hear, I did not understand why I felt the sadness of knowing this little bean will be all alone.

"Well Only fate can decide," he said, giving me one of his huge smiles before turning in the dark. I stood there trying to understand what he meant by that.

With a sigh, I turn to the door. A deep breath passes my lips, I only place my hand out but it open with blinding lights.

Here I go.

Vixton P.O.V

It's been days no months before all ended. It flash before my eyes once again, in that moment I teleported to rescue my mother. The flame only took a second before it was released, the rancid smell of the dead was stronger but I was angry seeing my beauty on ground in a broken mess. I instantly race to her, she was worn out from all the power she used, she felt dead.

The scary thing that happened was after the war John and his men disappeared in thin air, right after the final words of my mother then she disappeared as well. I found out days after that they were dead in a battle with my father but my mother wanted revenge; they came back to do unfinished business.

Cleo would be sad by the news knowing the last of her army was dead all along.

My father was gone the peace before it all happened resurfaced once again. Queen Cleo had done it, we had done it. I remember the fainting smile on my mother face it was of peace, she got her wish.

But at the cost of me losing the love of my soul, I had nothing to go back to.

I sat near Cleo's bed for almost 3 months, no progress of her waking up. No sign to prove that she's alive,  none.

They didn't tell me she was gone the pale look on her face told the tale of her being dead. Her heart made no sound, I should accept the reality that I am faced with.

It came the day of her burial and honestly it is the hardest thing ever. I mask my emotion to one without emotions, yeah peace rein once again but my world stood dark.

"She was a beautiful soul" Stella stood beside me tears rolling down her cheeks as she looks at Cleo more came harder. Cleo impacted our lives in different ways, and we wouldn't want it any other way.

"Yeah she was" I whispered in a sad but proud tone. Stella took my hand, giving it a comforting squeeze as the service go on.

Flowers were beautifully placed all around her body. I look at her one last time as they prepare the fire. A single tear roll down my cheek, it surprises me I haven't cried before.

My cold solid heart is changing breaking at the sight. It's better to be that cold vampire, life would be better.

"Goodbye my love, may the angels keep you safe in the better place to have a better start," I said if only you could hear the breaking of my heart the feeling unbearably every second I look at her.

A sharp horrid scream had me turn around. Stella fell to the ground as the others back away from the spot that had Cleo's body.

The frightening sight took my breath.

I couldn't move, my body in a trance by the sight.
