HOPE'S POV

All I see is darkness here.

You know the last time I felt this amount of darkness?It was when the Hollow had consumed me,I could feel this darkness inside me.Even though my family gave up everything to save me from it,that kind of feeling isn't something you ever forget.But this time,the darkness is all around me.No matter how far my vision goes,I only see endless darkness.

Where am I?Didn't I jump into the Malivore pit to put an end to everything so I can finally be at peace?And hopefully get to see my family who died saving me?My dad?My Mom?

I am supposed to be at peace with them.Why am I here?

I walk around the place for a while except every direction looks the same,so I don't know what I'm even looking for.Could somebody else be here too?

"Hello?" I call out hoping whoever hears me is a savior and not another forgotten monster because I've had enough of those. Dragon,Gargoyles,Necromancer,Zombies,
Heart-eating Pothos,a Dryad,Arachne,Unicorn which secretly infiltrated the school with those slugs,Mummy, etc. So I'm totally done with monsters.

Now if a monster was even coming,I wouldn't know because it's pitch black here,"Post tenebras spero lucem"
I light a lamp.At least my magic works here.

Before I know,a storm starts here out of nowhere,I look up to notice it's actually a black vortex with a bright light in the middle that is just blowing everything away.The lamp flies right out of my hand and I try to hold onto something.The wind is too strong to fight against,it's like the vortex is just going to absorb me,so I helplessly hold onto the ground knowing it's of no use and soon I'm heading straight into the vortex.

So this is it?This is how everything ends?I get sucked in by some vortex?

I close my eyes to face whatever's going to happen to me but a hand grabs my hand and I'm taken into someone's arms.

I open my eyes to see the person.If this isn't the devil himself,Ryan Clarke. So I'm in hell?

"Fancy meeting you here."

"Whoa" I get down from his arms.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him.

"Saving your life,obviously." He states as if he's such a well-wisher of mine.

"No. I'm supposed to be in...in peace. Okay, you are not peace. In fact, you're the opposite of peace. So, where are we?"

"Come on,do the math." He says too enthusiastically.Why is he happy?

"It's not that simple. Okay, there are freaky cyclones and blinding lights and you're here... Oh, my God, we're in hell." No way.

"No such thing...I think. Go on. Take your best guess." He is enjoying this but this isn't funny.

But wait a minute,he's here,I'm here.When I jumped into the pit,I took him down with me so if we're here together,it means..."No." I shake my head.

"Why not?"

"Because I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction of telling me that I failed." I say and start walking in the opposite direction.No,I couldn't have failed!This costed me my entire existence,it couldn't have failed.

"You mean you don't want to hear you're in the Blackness?That you've been consumed by Malivore?" Clarke says from behind.

No,no I am not in Malivore,I can't be!It should'vebeen destroyed completely when I jumped in.
