Chapter 1: Stoneheart University
SHE IS there again. Darkness is everywhere. Even a glimpse of light was hard to find. The familiar coldness of the place that always ran into her deepest veins as if a growing vine that makes her feel so gloomy and frightened to the bones was the solid proof-she is there.
Since she was young, she always goes there unconsciously whenever darkness creeps in at night and she would fall asleep. She also didn't know how and why but it is always just there, as if a monster lurking in the dark and waiting for the perfect moment to get her.
The silence is deafening and only the loud beats of her heart are the sound she could hear.
She wanted to scream but it felt as though her mouth didn't want to open-no, it was opening but her voice didn't want to come out like an innocent child that wanted to reason out but couldn't speak a word because her parents are scolding her for doing something wrong.
She wanted to wake up already but whatever she did, it never gave her the result she wanted. She is already out of breath as if she ran a few kilometers. She knew it was just a dream-a never ending nightmare-but everything is just too scary to bear.
Anxiety and fear started to rise inside her heart as she roamed her eyes around and saw a pair of pure white eyes, as if glowing from the endless darkness that she didn't know where would bring her.
When the young lady heard the sounds of dried leaves being stepped on and a high-pitched joyful laugh of a woman that sounded as if it came from the deepest part of hell-the one that always frightened her since childhood-she immediately forced herself to move.
She ran while trying so hard not to look back because of the fright that maybe, the one chasing her in the dark was already just inches near.
But the darkness seemed to have no end.
She wanted to find a place where she could hide but whenever she moves, it always feels so close to her. The scariest part was because of the darkness, it might suddenly pop up in front without her knowledge.
With trembling lips, she tried to look around in hope to see even just a flicker of light, but she failed miserably. And what that failure brought her was the woman-like creature that is chasing her! She felt it, it was already on her back!
The young girl could just try to hug herself from the unbearable coldness that suddenly crept into her bones because of the strange creature behind her.
Although she wanted to close her eyes, she couldn't do it. There seemed to be an unknown force that was refraining her from doing so.
And then, her fear came.
She felt a heavy breathing on her right ear that sent shivers down to her spine and colds to her stomach and made her feel nauseous.
"Why are you always running away?" asked the creature who sounded as if a kid having a tantrum after being scolded by her parents.
After that, the creature suddenly laughed again as if there was no tomorrow-as if she was being possessed as there was a different tone of voice mixing with the laugh.
Because she couldn't speak, she just let the laughter go on until it went louder before it gradually disappeared.
Seconds passed by and she was filled with anxiety, a deafening high-pitched cry echoed and broke the silence and the ears of the girl. She tried to cover her ears but it seemed as though her hands became useless as the disturbing sounds still went through her mind.
"Why? Why can't you just accept it?"
"Why can't you just accept that I am you and you are me!?"
"I am you and you are me! The plan must be started and stop rejecting me!" the woman shouted angrily and impatiently.
