The world has been twisted into a nightmarish reality. Death is imminent, leering closer. A howling wind whistles eerily, echoing. The sun has faded into a colourless grey, no longer the brilliant orb that should chase off the darkness. It has faded out, leaving you for dead. Moonlight spills from the sky. Shadows lunge. The streets are drenched in darkness, cloaked with fear. In a blink, your light can be extinguished. They can't see you, but they can feel your panicked heartbeats... Which cease when they are stolen. * Raina will never forget the moment her life became a wretched reality. The moment her parents were pitched into the void. She will never forget the tears shed as she and Ella realized that they were alone in this horrid place. Nor will she forget the piercing pain of the lightning bolt, the scars that curve along her skin. They give her the Light.

I never believed my mom would ever find the place that we can "stay forever". "Stay forever" was always something she said about moving, but now it means something more, with someone else...
