Darkness shouldn't have bothered me to such an extent. But it did. I was reminded of something I suppressed deeply.
I felt like I was drowning. And I didn't want her to be the one to save me.
I didn't need saving anyhow, those days were far behind me. If darkness was my enemy then all I had to do was to stab it with my light. I envisioned a red one, but what leaked through everything around me was a bright white one, It reminded me of the light I used to switch into another time lapse when Arthur took us on that fateful journey.
Was this a dream then?
I was leaning towards that possibility, it wasn't any dream, it was a forgotten one. I saw her running in the opposite direction just like she did last time.
Sophie.
She was in her human form and it was the one that my blood didn't change yet, her white dress was crimson this time, and the face that radiated happiness so long ago was radiating anxiety now.
"Where is he?" She mouthed the words, and a silent gasp followed them.
