The dawning

Everything I have taken in a moment, all i have done forgotten by everyone and my existence would mean nothing, less than a memory yet more than a thought. Is that what you are offering me? Simply to make a wish come true?

In the darkness the smile appeared, its teeth standing out fangs barred, ready to strike at any moment. He was not afraid, he had known worse and he felt as if somehow he knew this figure in the darkness. Waiting for a reply he could feel anger building up inside himself, it always bothered him, it came from nowhere or maybe it was everywhere he was always searching for the answer in the wrong place.
It was then that he saw its eyes, a glowing green that felt like they pierced his soul when he looked into them they had no real shape to them although it was clear what they were he almost felt consumed by the gaze and reality shifted no longer allowing you to see what is truly there.
The reply was slow almost as if this. Thing. Was thinking about how it would be best to answer. Simply to make a wish come true you say? This wish you call simple is one you have been asking for your whole life and every time i have had to stand back and watch as you suffer, as pain fills your mind and the very soul that people see as pure and good. You have been dead inside for longer than you know, the choices you have made, the path you are on will only lead to your destruction. You will be alone. There will be nothing around you and that fear you have of truly being meaningless and having no one will come true, this is a chance to change that, this is the only chance to change that. That simple wish of saving them even though you know you cant will change everything, you see it as simple there are others who would see it in other ways.
The only reason i am able to be here in this moment is because you willed it, your yearning to save them, that feeling in your heart that you cant ever seem to lose it has always been there you have never seen how strong you truly are and how strong you can be. This one wish will change everything for you and them so think carefully before you decide.

He found it strange that it was not simply done, why would he be given a choice as to what would happen next, it felt wrong but it was something he knew he could not give up if the choice was truly there. He thought of Haley and how she was there for him through some of his hard times, she had come to mean a lot to him and the friendship they had was one of the only things he believed he did not truly want to lose. He had made a promise to her, one that until that point he had been able to keep. He would be there when it mattered, he would protect her and help her in any way he could, after their fight that all changed and he regretted every moment of it. This could change all that, unsure of what would be right he let his thoughts wonder as more memories came to mind all leading to where he is now.
Alistar the one he had always looked up to most was gone because he wanted to protect him, the one who had become like a son to him. Jerimiah had a feeling he should not let him go and yet he did nothing, Alistar seemed happy with his choice and Jerimiah knew that it would not be able to happen again soon if the chance ever came up again, he let him go and after that he was lost to him.
Everything he had ever known gone in an instant if he agreed. There were so many other things to consider as well, his eyes suddenly burned he closed them to try stop the itchy feeling that came with the burning sensation. There he was standing in front of Haley again she had anger in her eyes before she left him, he had told her about a darkness he thought was coming but she took it as a joke, something to avoid what had happened the last time they spoke. The darkness he spoke of was real, it had been growing slowly taking its time to be revealed when the time came. He had awoken the previous night to a creature lurking at the end of his bed, at first he thought it was a dream until it raised a clawed hand to his leg and he felt it scratching him, it moved slowly closer to his face, he felt frozen in place but when he felt something pierce his skin his body automatically reacted, he jumped to the bed lamp and turned it on looking back at where the creature just was. All that remained were tears in the sheets and on his clothes, blood was running down his side and after taking some time to calm down and take a closer look he saw the claw marks that had torn into him, if this were not real he was going insane.

Maybe it would be better, at least this way i know they will be safe he thought to himself. Good the figure said in a low delighted voice, I sense you are coming close to making your decision if not do hurry along so we can get on with it all, my patience only lasts so long. His smile grew wider and his eyes glowed brighter as the excitement filled him. For a second Jerimiah thought he saw the figures eyes go red, this was all overwhelming him he was doubting everything he knew, should he put feelings aside and do what was right for him or should he keep the promises he once made. They were one in the same and his choice became clear to him.

I wish to be forgotten, to forget everything and everyone i know, everything i was once a part of would be undone, it would all start over and all the feelings would fade. I wish to be myself without feeling, before i learnt about it all. I will save them even if we wont ever know about it. The figure could not be happier, it began to laugh incessantly, I find your choice amusing it said as its eyes flushed red and the blood started to run from its mouth. I would say remember this moment, we both know that is pointless seeing as you wont remember any of it at all. Before Jerimiah could say anything at all his vision blurred to darkness, the last thing he saw was the devious smile behind the blood and those red piercing eyes. The figure walked towards what should have been a body, knelt down and said to himself lets see what you make of it this time, as if he had done this many times before...
