THE DARKNESS

CHAPTER 4

He began to think about that semester. The darkness had completely consumed him. The darkness was nothing new.

The beast and Knight had shared a body and mind since he was a small child. Though he owned his mind and body, he had to always fight to maintain control.

Both fought for control and attempted to cage the other in the dungeons at the bottom of the cave. When Knight was in control he had to guard the entrance to the cave every day. There were times in which he went long periods without hearing from the beast, but he was never quite at ease. He was always in fear for when the darkness would break out and come attack again.

When it did attack sometimes it was small and easily defeated. Other times, as was the case with that semester in college he was thinking about, the darkness would completely grab control and lock Knight in the dungeons of his own mind. The darkness had one goal in mind while in control. Destruction.

He thought back to the week of that Christmas party. His ex had a Christmas party of her own with her friends. "Why do we have to go to this?" he said, , "your friends can be lame and judgmental." "What is your deal!?" his then girlfriend proclaimed, "I went to your friends party." "Yea, but they're your friends too. I'm not friends with any of your friends." Knight responded. His girlfriend becoming quite perturbed shot back, "They're my friends too because I actually talk to them. I don't just sit there and not say a word!" Knight began to think to himself, "Why the heck am I starting a fight?" It was true.

She had come to his friends party. It's completely fair for him to go to her friends party. "Her friends are losers though" the darkness groaned, "and they definitely don't like you." Knight sat entangled by tentacles inside the dungeons.

He didn't want this fight, but he wasn't the one in control. The darkness was and it fed off of conflict. If there wasn't an actual conflict to be had the darkness would send one of it's demons down into the dungeons in the guise of someone he knew to start a fight with him.

There had been times in which Knight would realize he had been having an imaginary argument for 15 minutes. He would try and fight off these demons, but he had so little strength once the darkness had him wrapped up like this. He would sit there helpless as the darkness started fights with friends and loved ones.
