Chapter 2

I wish I could have just stayed in the darkness, but sadly my brain had other ideas on what it wanted to do. I felt myself being pulled into a dream. I was laying down; the sun was shining on me and I felt the wind blow over my skin carrying a sweet scent of the sylleblossoms. I took a deep inhale of the scent and smiled slightly. I thought back to Tenebrae and how these flowers had been everywhere, and how the scent had filled the air. As quickly as the smile had come it quickly vanished due to the eminence sorrow I felt when I thought back to that time in my life.

I opened my eyes and saw a clear blue sky above me. The sun was directly above where I was laying, I sat up and was surprised to find myself in a field that was covered in sylleblossoms as far as I could see. I stood up confused and did circle taking in the area. On the second time, I circled around a white dog was standing in front of me. I had never seen this dog before in my life but it had a striking resembled Luna's dog Umbra who would appear sometimes with a message from Luna. We stood there staring at one another for a minute before the dog barked at me and then began to walk off. I watched it for a little bit frozen to my spot not knowing what to do.

When the dog noticed, I wasn't following, it stopped and turned to look at me and barked again. "You want me to follow you?" I asked, the dog barked again as if to tell me yes. I walked to the dog and got within five feet from it before it started to walk forward again. We walked for some time before the dog stopped and sat down. I caught up to it, and looked around at the scenery again and found nothing had changed. I sighed and knelt to the dog and began to pet it. "Who are you? And why are you having me follow you?" I asked in a quiet voice as I smiled while petting the dog. The dog relished my touch for a little bit before its face looked up at the sky above me and barked.

I turned and looked to were the dog was looking, and gasped. The sun which had been directly above me and shining brightly, had become dim with a small black circle around the edge of it. I stood up now and continued to look at the sun and to my horror the black circle started to grow. The circle was growing at an alarming right, after what felt like 5 mins the black ring had swallowed about half of the light. I continued to stare at the sun until I heard a low growl coming behind me. I turned around slowly and froze at what I saw. Were there once was a beautiful white dog, now stood a black sickly-looking dog with glowing red eyes. The dog snarled at me, which caused me to take a step back, but the dog kept advancing toward me.

While backing up I glanced quickly back up at the sun and saw that the light was almost gone. Terrified I looked back at the dog and saw that around it the flowers began to wilt and die. In the wake of the dying flowers, black pools began to form which writhed as if something was trying to escape them. All at once various daemons began to come out of the black pools, the sight of this caused me to gasp in terror. Multiply sets of dark eyes focused in on me and began slowly advancing toward were I was standing. Once they reached the place where the dog was standing, the daemons stopped moving forward, they stood their staring at me, as if waiting for something to happen.

My gaze came back to the dog and I saw him starting back at the sun. I shifted my gaze toward the sun one more time, and what I saw made my insides turn cold. I watched the black ring of darkness swallow up the last little bit of light left plunging the area into complete and utter darkness. With the light gone the air seemed to become stale and the wind ceased to blow leaving a deafening silence. I looked back at the dog which was now staring at me with its red eyes.

My body began to tremble in fear, and my hands covered my mouth trying to suppress a scream that was trying to escape. The dog let out a bark and the monster behind him began to creep forward toward me. I stood their frozen in fear. "Run" said a voice, which caused me to jump, but I still didn't move. "Run Child" said the voice again with a little more force which, seem to make me snap out of the trance I was in. I backed up quickly taking in the scene in front of me just before I turned my back and ran.

I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, I could hear the terrible shrieks of the monsters behind me which only caused me to run faster. I kept running for what felt like forever, I risked a glace back to see how far back the monsters were "Don't look Back, Child!" The voice boomed in my head causing me to stumble a little before pressing on. I continued to run, for a while longer, before I collapsed. I attempted to stand but my legs trembled, and caused me to fall once again. I began to panic fearing that the monsters would soon be on top of me, but I soon noticed that the shrieking and roars of the daemons that had been chasing me had all but vanished.

The only sound that I could here was the ragged breaths I was making. I looked around and saw that I was still in the sylleblossoms field. I turned back to my hands which were currently the only thing supporting me, and closes my eyes. It's only a dream, it's only a dream I mumbled under my breath. Suddenly, I heard a growl behind me causing me to wipe around and come face to face with the sickly dog. I stumbled back and bumped into something cold and hard. Glancing up I saw it was a sword and behind it was an Iron Giant daemon. I got to my feet and tried to run but my feet came out from under me.

Whipping around I saw goblin hands holding my leg pinning me to the ground. I screamed and tried to beat them off but my hands were grabbed by two more goblins. I continued to struggle but they all held tight…I was trapped. The sickly dog came into view, and climbed up onto my chest and started down at me its eyes burning. His nails dug into my chest and caused me to whimper in pain causing the dog to snarl as if he was enjoying this. He looked up at the sky and then back down at me "Mors ad lucem" a voice said just before the dog lunged at my throat.

Ok Sorry this is so late! Life got really busy, with school, and other things. I also had a hard time writing this chapter, I tried I really tried to make it good, so I apologize if its bad! Enjoy!
