The Angelic Devil

THE VOICE

*UNEDITED MATERIAL*

Darkness did not scare me like it did to many other people but rather it was a cocoon of silent comfort that I liked to wrap myself in.I've become so accomsted to it that it had become a part of myself , a trust worthy friend that wouldn't betray me.So I trusted this darkness to lead me , that had engulfed me the moment I had squeezed through the corner where the duke had disappeared , which was not visible if you did not look too close.

It was like slipping through a curtain of water , from the outside it looked just like another wall but a shimmering on it caught my attention and I knew where the duke had disappeared to.A trick that's used in almost all the manors to hide the deepest secrets of them.

Since the duke had one he was definitely suspicious and disappearing into it at the middle of a ball ,maybe it wasn't just a rumour that he was involved with the rebels.

Since the darkness was an old ally I had no difficulty in tracking the duke in fact he had left a lot of trails , the more obvious one of that , his shoe prints on the slick , grimy floor which also stank really bad.I had to tie the skirt of my gown aroud my waist ,  lest I bring millenia worth of grime back to the ball of sparkly people to frown upon.

I tried to move lightly as much as possible through the narrow hallway that echoed my footsteps .I felt the walls with my hands and when my eyes adjusted to the darkess I saw a thick wooden door at the far end emitting a faint glow through the crevices.I approached it mindful of my steps .I was almost by the door when I felt the pull.

Something was calling me , something so familiar and alien at the same time it's soothing voices licked my mind demanding submission.It pushed me to give myself up flashing images of me and my sister sitting on a swing on a sunny morning , she was laughing at something I said , she looked beautiful and vibrant than the last time I saw her .Her eyes shone with the laughter and I laughed together with her , holding her delicate hands as we swung together ,talking about meaningless things like any other normal girls and giggling like no care in the world .She was safe and alive and most importantly we were together without any threat looming over our head I did not want anything else but to live in this moment forever and I would give up anything if I could have it .

The voices whispered again , I strained to hear.once again their slick voice reached me wrapping my body in freezing cold it whispered I could have it if I let go of me....me?...

I can , if ...if I let go will I be happy with my sister forever? they promised again making me shiver.

I only had to let go and this dream would become real.I smiled as the blissful thought filled my mind , which was hazy and thick as if I was drunk , I smiled like a fool and my body relaxed and I swayed slightly unsteady on my feet.

I was ready to give up anything for her and myself was least important on the list so I was more than happy to comply .One step and we will be together fore--

"Cut it out already , have you gone so weak that you can't even resist this kind of measely persuasion"

The voice suddenly cut through my water filled mind .

WHAT THE.It actually felt familiar.

"Have you become too much of a weakling that you cannot even fight back such lowly magic" The voice scolded loud and clear .

I was shocked at the voice which scolded me like it had known me for ages.Suddenly the voices that were like honey before turned hostile,they started hissing and screeching I covered my ears and shut my eyes.

"Open your eyes and ears and block them out you are more stronger than them" The voice instructed.

I don't know why I trust this voice so much it felt like I've always have.

"That's because you have you idiot now stop reminiscing and focus". It scolded again.

I snapped open my eyes and let my hands fall to my sides and listened to the voice that liked to call me names.

"Now block out the voices by imagining yourself being surrounded by light , let the light drive away the voices . Good now slowly imagine the light to be hot make it burn ...yes very good now let it flow"

I let the light flow from me,  the voices screamed the most  agonizing cry I've head I could even smell something burn , with a final wail all the voices died down leaving me alone in the darkness with a splitting headache.
