Fear Not

“You’re scared,” an inhumanly, desirable but shadowy voice whispers. “You are in the most magical place, a sacred ground, yet you are scared?”

Terrified, I try to scream but no sound saunters out. Struggling with whoever’s holding me against a cold earth, I gasp for more breath but none come. “Let me go, what did I ever do to you?!”

“You came home.” the masculine voice hisses.

A sudden overpowering screech kills my senses and an aluminum-melting scent hits my nostrils. “Get away from my descendant. Be gone with you, young warrior!” A woman’s voice leaks into my brain and I’m relieved somehow. “Alex Arrole, fear not the monsters in darkness but the darkness within.”
