Chapter 1: Loneliness

I sat in the dark green grassy field underneath the pitch black sky. No light shun through the area. The darkness had swallowed up this area and only my castle was left untouched. However, even it was dark…this place had no sunshine, no light…just loneliness and darkness. I felt my bare feet touch the smooth grass, allowing it to get in between my toes. Nothing could make me feel better…nothing at all.

Sadly nothing was the only thing I had. Sure, this castle was mine but there was not one living soul to share it with. My life here, in this place, was nothing. I was nothing, a nobody…The darkness was me…And no one likes darkness. So if people are scared of darkness, they are scared of me. Nothing…was surprisingly the only company I had.

I had always wondered what the sunshine had looked like…what the warm breeze felt like. Books were the closet thing I had to a sun. But here in this god damn forsaken place, darkness was the only thing I have. It would be the only thing I'll ever have. Perhaps I should welcome it…Welcome the darkness, embrace it…But my mother had told me differently. She had always seemed of a way to explain the good things in me…

She used to tell me about far off lands that co-existed with each other at one point. Lands that were filled with people, filled with light, sunshine…and also darkness. No matter the person, darkness lurks within every heart. She used to tell me that the only thing we can do was separate ourselves from our own darkness. Than we could be the children of light. But she said it was harder to do than it seemed and many had fallen victim to the darkness. Some, lost their hearts to the darkness. Those who had embraced darkness allowed it to swallow up their hearts. Allowing it to change them forever. She had told me that I should not even think about embracing the darkness. Even if we lived in the darkest place of the world…darkness is not us. We are still children of light.

I used to ask her why we lived in such a terrible place. She had told me that we were guardians of such a treasure…such a dangerous, yet beautiful thing…If someone was to get their hands on it, they would have to get their hands on us. We were the only ones who could open up the door to darkness…We were called princesses of darkness.

I had always wondered why…why! I did not wish to be this key to such a terrible door. I did not want to be used for such a terrible thing. I wanted to be free. I wanted to be me but all I would ever been see as was a key. Some stupid key to some stupid door of darkness. Well I don't care about it. I want to venture out, meet people…

I felt tears come down my face as I began to think about my mother some more. She had said that she would never leave me but that was a lie. Here I am, alone…because of her. She had left me one night. The night of the great earthquake as I called it.

I slowly closed my eyes and began to remember that terrible night, those things I wished I had said…I wished I had gone after her.

I opened my eyes as I felt the terrible tremor hit the castle. I jumped out of my bed and looked around. I sat up and walked outside of my room.

"Mama! Mama!" I screamed as I tried to hear some sort of sign of my mother's voice.

I heard the front door to the castle open and I immediately ran down the large marble stairs covered in a red carpet. The stairs I ran down were going to the right and led to a stairwell that went towards the front door. I ran as fast as I could in my bare feet, trying my hardest not to trip on the cold staircase. I grabbed a hold of the golden railings surrounding the stairwells.

I followed the stairs and slowly curved to the right, now going down the stairs to the front door. I stopped as I saw the large black wooden door wide open while the either was shut tight. The door swayed back and forward just a little. I felt my eyes widen and quickly began to run down the stairs towards the front door.

Mama had always told me that we should never go past the castle gates…I knew she wouldn't go past those gates unless for a greater purpose. Yet, I had a sinking feeling that she wasn't coming back. I could feel my breath get heavier and it felt like the room was getting longer.

I held back my tears and made it to the front door. I immediately looked out of the door and saw the gates opened wide. The tears streamed down my face.

"Mama!" I yelled as no answer came back.

The tremors became worse and I feel to my bottom. I stared out of the door and saw this blast of white light. It grew larger and larger and I watched as the light had pushed the gates shut. I grabbed the door allowing the light to come into the castle. I felt my hair push back and my eyes widened at the brightness. Suddenly the light had pushed me back and I fell to the ground, far away from the door.

I heard the door slam shut and my head connected to the ground. My eyes shut and that was the last time I would have ever saw my mother.

A couple tears came down my cheeks as I thought of this memory. She was the only person here besides me and now I am all alone, in this pitch black nothingness. She had left me all alone, ditched me…She must have found a way to leave this place…I couldn't believe that she left me to fend off for myself…

I stood up and brushed off all the dirt off of my long white pajamas. It was like a dress but only made for sleeping. It was short sleeved and was a v-neck dress. It ended at my knees. I walked away from the field I was in and looked back down at the gates of this castle. I almost cried as I thought of my mother leaving me through those gates. I ignored that thought and immediately went through the front doors of the castle. I shut them and walked up to my bedroom.

I noticed the white marble columns holding up the second floor. The stairwell aiming at the front door separated to the left and right. Beautiful chandeliers lit up the entire area, the only source of light in this world. There were rooms down here and rooms upstairs. Rooms leading to empty guest rooms and rooms leading to my favorite places like the library or the flower room…Though no matter how many rooms…I was still here alone.

I walked up the stairs and turned to the right. I walked down the hallway of the second floor, feeling the sleep come upon my dried eyes. I opened the dark black door that was at the end of the hallway. It was my bedroom.

I walked into my bedroom and shut the door behind me. I hit the light switch on my right hand side and turned off all the lights outside of my room. I sighed as I turned around to look at my bedroom. To the right was my large walk in closet, and a desk tucked into the left corner. On the desk was one of my favorite books ever, the Darkness's twin. I slowly walked over to the book and lightly slide my fingers over the red cover of the book.

I turned away from the book and starred at my bed. It had a black headboard and footboard. The covers were a dark red as well as the big fluffy pillows. On the bed was a little stuffed animal that my mother had made me when I was little. It was a brown teddy bear that had a red heart in its hands. I smiled and laid down onto my bed. I looked at the blue walls and the plain white ceiling. I turned my attention to the left and saw a brown door that led to my bathroom. Beside the door was a small bookshelf. There were only about 4 or 5 books on the 3 shelved thing, most of the books were in the library anyways. These were just my favorite ones. Beside the bookshelf was a table that had a small brown chest. It held my necklace that my mother told me I had to keep with me everywhere I went.

2 windows were kept close to my bed, however they were closed with red curtains. I hate having to look into the darkness, I would rather see anything else than that pitch black sky.

I got underneath my warm red covers and curled up into a ball. My legs reached my chest. In my arms, I held tightly the brown teddy bear. I felt the sleep coming to take me like a thief in the night. When it had finally captured me, I submitted to its will. Trying to hold on to the light while my subconscious slipped away.
