Until The Sunrise

The Shadow

Black.

Black that slowly turns into a blurred brown, which becomes yellow. I drag my arm to my head, slowly. I'm covered in dust. I start to recover my awareness when suddenly I feel my heart pumping again.

"AH!" I say out loud when the memories of a wall falling on top of me rush to my head.

I'm still alive, and I'm under the debris of the wall, but not all of it looks like debris... the wall did reach the floor and got destroyed at that time, but... where am I?... It looks like some kind of force just stopped the debris from reaching me... forming a place that looked like a dome.

I notice a torch standing next to me with a strong fire on it... I'm not alone in this place... The dome is big but I see no one else in here...

It's a clear circle, like a full moon.

I slowly stand up. My entire body is on alert, someone has to be here... I grab the torch and I start to walk through the place... not noticing anything. 

No one inside...

"How did someone enter here?... probably the same way that it left this place..." I say to myself.

In an attempt to find an exit, I reach the wall, and in the second that I touch it, a voice echoes in the silence.

"If I were you I wouldn't do that" laughs the voice.

The voice sounded deep but high at the same time, very disturbing... It sounded like it was having fun while seeing me trapped in that place.

"Who is there?" I ask astonished.

"What a peculiar question, don't you think? Who... is... there..." the voice repeats slowly while I search for someone in the shadows.

"Some people know me... some people do not... I wonder across the world who will sit in the throne. You asked the wrong question Kid, you should ask... why did you call us?" Lets an acute scary laugh come out.

"How do you know me? And what are you talking about? I didn't call you" I say while walking back to the center of the room.

"You are a funny little liar haha... You were crying for me, you wanted me to come, and I did! To help you... that is why the wall did not hit you" You can feel the smile of the voice in the shadows.

I think about a million words but I cannot find any that will make sense with the words of the voice. 

"Show yourself" I say loudly.

"Ah, ah, ah" denies the voice. "Who am I? No one... I know you know what I am... I helped you with... this!" 

Says the voice loudly when a strong wind hits my face making all the screams and noises from the people resonate again inside my head.

I, shocked from the unexpected wind and voices, start to tremble back while I throw the torch in order to hold my ears while screaming at the strong voice... saying the name...

I hit the wall... when two hands come out of it and grab my shoulders, making me panic and move to the center of the room. The wind stops and the noises disappear.

I look incredulous to the wall, where I can't find any hands... but I felt them, I really felt them... and suddenly, a shadow starts to appear on the wall that I was looking at...it is impossible... The light of the torch is pointing to that direction, making no space for shadows...

But this shadow keeps growing... and growing, taking a form, slowly, when from the deep shadow on the stone... someone steps out, a clear look of a black boot, and then the rest of the body starting with a head facing down comes out.
