Darkest Winter

This is the same as the prologue so it would be easier to just read it. :)

As I wake up I am instantly engulfed in a sea of blackness. I look around until I find the red light coming from my alarm clock. I fumble around for the light switch with one hand while the other is searching for my glasses. Once I find both I get out of bed and start shivering immediately as the chill in the air envelops my body. I go to my closet to get dressed settling on a purple panda v-neck with some Miss Me jeans and black flats. Sitting by my window I begin to dress looking up through the frost and into the radiant light of the moon, still up, even in the daytime. As I finish and pull on my flats I grab my bag and walk down the steps gingerly, trying to keep my footsteps quiet so I don’t wake him up. Getting down the stairs I am once again engulfed in my sea of blackness, being in the blackness so often, I see through my fingers and feet. I feel for the kitchen light and finally finding it, begin to turn it on, when I hear a noise and freeze. I strain to hear where it came from but am only answered with silence. I wait what feels like 10 minutes before I figure that it was just in my head. I turn back to the light and turn it on and set my stuff down so I can get my breakfast. Getting out the step-stool, I use it as a chair, becausemy normal chairs make too loud of a noise when I pull them out. I grab some cereal for breakfast grabbing out the milk, spoon, and bowl. I hurridley make it and eat my cereal as fast as a flame engulfs a piece of paper. Only having just woke up, my brain hasn’t started working properly so I forget that eating fast makes me nauseous, so of course, a nauseating feeling over comes me. I grab for something for support, when I hear a crash, it was my bowl. A feeling of dread rushes to me, through my body, and into my heart. I hear a groan and a creak at the top of the stairs. He’s up.
