Chapter 6: Darkness Becomes Her

Picture of the blue light>

Taking a deep breath and looking back I saw Toress start to shake with fear. "It's ok, we'll be fine." I reassured him as we entered the dark hall.

As we started to walked into the palace I noticed Toress was holding onto the side of my dress for guidance. Somehow I knew exactly where we were going in this complete dark place.

No lights were on, no fire, nothing was lighting the way and yet I knew where to go. I couldn't explain it but I was glad I just knew.

"Umm how do you know where we're going?" Toress asked as we turned a corner. "I I don't know where I'm leading us but I just know where to go..." i couldn't see him but I knew he understood.

Walking down a grand hall I saw a small shimmer of blue light down at the end of the room. I quickened my pace to try and get to it. Sprinting down the corridor the light seemed to fade as we got closer.

I yelled out for it not to go but like that it was gone. I blew out a frustrated breath and held Claudia closer to me and started to walk in the direction the light faded.

"Your highness?" Toress asked after a while of walking. "Yeah?"

"Are we ever going to get out of here? I mean we don't even know where we're going and all you can do is not run us into a wall." he said as he stumbled a bit on the hem of my dress.

"I can't really tell you that, I have no idea where we're going all I know is where to turn or stop."

"Ok I understand but I'm getting tired of walking, I feel like we've been walking in circles." Toress complained as a gust of cold wind it us.

I shivered from the contact on my bare shoulders and hugged Claudia closer. "What was that? We're in side, there shouldn't be any wind coming in." I commented as I realized what just happened.

Toress didn't answer but I could feel him shaking in fear and not from the cold.

I was afraid as well, I could feel an animus feeling wash over me as another wind came through. Yet this time something was carried with it, a voice, it almost sounded like.

Whispering to me, telling me something and yet I couldn't make it out.

Fear came over me and I started to shake as well. My hands became cold and clammy, my breathing started to pick up and a single bead of sweat ran down the middle of my breast.  

Claudia started to cry and I didn't know what to do. If I couldn't control my own fear how was I supposed to control hers.

Toress began to whimper and i couldn't anything to help him. I started to shake from the cold and tried to keep Claudia warm. I was freezing and I didn't know why.

Toress must have felt my discomfort and huddled me into his arm for protection. I didn't like the close contact with another man but was grateful for the warmth.

As the wind kept coming I knew we couldn't stay here much longer or we would all freeze, so I started I walk again when another wind came full force and brush us all off our feet.

Toress grip on me fell and I lost Claudia on the way down to the ground. I was momentarily out of my wits but regained composer and stood around looking for Toress ad Claudia.

I kept looking ad even called out for them but I heard nothing. I swept the area on my hands and knees trying to find them but only to realize they were gone.

I suddenly felt alone and unsafe by myself. The halls I was in became darker and void less as I made the trek alone.

Hugging my arms together for some type of warmth and breathing hot breath into my palms, I noticed my hands became pale and almost blue in color.

My whole body started to shiver and convulse as I felt my inner being freeze. My energy started to drain and I felt as if something was being sucked out of me.

I tried to walk but only took a few steps before I collapsed. In the moment of my fall I expected to hit the ground with a 'thud' but I just kept falling.

The darkness around consumed me and I fell into a never ending pit.

I didn't scream as I fell, I was to weak, I just let gravity do its deed and kept silent.

Falling down into the darkness I realized I wasn't exactly alone. All around me I saw images from my past falling with me. All the hurt and sorrowful events of my life began to replay themselves in a moving picture.

I began to cry and sob while still falling as I looked upon my past. It pained me and made me angry at the same time, seeing everything that had scarred me as a child or up until now love out before my eyes.

I didn't want to see them anymore, I didn't want to know my mistakes. I began grab at the pictures, holding them still and shattering them with my fist.

Once the first one was gone they all were. Together they exploding into pieces around me and pierce my skin on the way down.

Blood started to ooze out from my wounds and down my arms and face. I started to fade in and out of the lose of blood.

My eyes started to droop and my body went limb. Just as I was about to succumb to the darkness, a glass floor came into view and then...nothing.
