Embrace the Darkness

A dark, gothic story about a romance gone wrong.

A violent pain shot up my body as I crumples to the floor. A loud slam behind me. The f**k happened? I thought, I looked behind me, iron bars for a wall. I look around. This is a prison cell, what the hell am I doing here? I growled in my thought.

I stood up, a dizzying wave hit me, a voice in the distance screams "HELP ME!" It sounded familiar. I instantly got a burning feeling on my wrist, I looked at it and see a scab on my right wrist. "HELP ME!" I heard it again. I instantly blacked out.

A blur, that's all, a blur. I was floating, the floor's clearly far, even through the blur. Muffled voice, but I can hear "HELP ME!" muffling through.

I woke up. The scene's awfully familiar. "Excuse me!" I called out when a security walks by. "Why am I here?"

"Don't act dumb Prisoner 33546. You're arrested for a holocaust."

"Holocaust sir?" I gave him a puzzled look.

He looks instantly very annoyed. "A holocaust is basically a mass murder. You killed fifty people in a day."

"fifty people? I don't even remember killing one!" I backed off from the iron bars as if they're on fire. The security walks away.

I sat down, crossed leg and stared at the little "window." What felt like ages, a voice called out. "Prisoner 33546, you got a visitor."

I turned around, see a man next to the annoyed security guard. I backed away and pressed against the wall opposite of the iron bar. Something about this man creeps me out. "Who are you?" I growled. Being defensive for no reason.

"My god, you really don't remember me. Good." He smiled, and turned to the security. "That'll be all."

"Get away from me, I will find you once I get out and I will get my revenge." I growled, not even recognizing my own voice. Not even knowing WHY I said it.

"Oh but HE doesn't. That's a shame." He grinned from ear to ear. But walked away before I could say anything.

Find something sharp! NOW! A voice screamed in my head.

Like what? The sharpest thing in this room is the wall! I thought back.

Damn him! DAMN HIM! How dare he come here and mock us! The voice growled.

Who are you anyway? I asked in my thoughts. But didn't get any respond.

"Court duty, get out." The annoyed security guard banged on the iron bars. It's been several days, I've been trying to contact the voice in my head but got no respond. I walked outside and was escorted to the court. I walked down the middle of the room, I glanced at an hair clip, the tip's broken, revealing a sharp edge. An urge inside screams for me to jump and grab it. I resisted it.

"Murder of 50 people," the Judge looks at the paper. "There's almost no point for you to be here. There's evidence, a policeman witness it."

The Judge goes on and on, but I was preoccupied. Listen to me! I will get you out, but you need to risk everything, even your life if it depends on it. The voice growled.

Alright, I'm sure I'll get a life sentence so I'll take a chance to be free. I smiled.

Alright, you saw the hair clip on the w***e's hair right? Well I need you to jump over the pitiful low wall and grab it. Once you grab it, make sure the sharp point is visible, and slice your right wrist, I repeat, your RIGHT wrist.

My what? But there's already a scab there! I growled back.

What you need to do is WHY you have that scab there, it's part of your life. Now do it!

I turned around toward the woman with the broken hair clip. I ran and jump over the crowd of people which quickly ran away. I grabbed the hair clip before I landed as if I do this everyday. I sliced my right wrist. EMBRACING THE DARKNESS! The voice screamed inside my head so loud it feels like it's going to explode. My wrist started to emit a black smoke. A spot in the middle of my back heated with pain. I suddenly got lifted off the ground. Black vessel like lines holding me up. Embedding OUT of my back, and standing on the floor as if it's alive.

A several loud pops emitted from where the Judge used to be. I looked at the 2 policeman holding a pistol and are shooting away. 2 vessels grab one of them, toss him up gently before burrowing into his chest. the 2 vessels exploded out of his back, and pulled toward the opposite direction. The policeman was ripped in half, his insides spewed out, the heart flew up and into the end of one of the vessels which gobbles it in an instant. I felt powerful. Then the darkness overwhelmed my eyes.

"Your power is too amazing to be hiding, I can use this to conquer the world, give it to me and I'll let you live with your w***e of a girlfriend." A voice growled. my eyes peered open. The man was smiling.

"The hell I will, and besides, I don't even know how to get rid of it. I'm the only one in the world that have it, remember?" I spat back.

"OH you think I'm bluffing don't you?" The man looks back and snapped his finger. A small cage, enough to fit a wild tiger in it, emerges from the darkness. My girlfriend is inside. Wearing nothing but undergarments.

"Don't listen to him, your power is too amazing, let it fall into the wrong hand and we'll be both dead. Let me die, save the world, save me and we'll all die!" My girlfriend screamed, knowing her fate.

I looked around, an assistant of the man is hitting a wooded nail into my hand with a hammer. I noticed the hammer have a sharp back. I know just what to do,

"Very well, do you know how to get rid of this power I have?" I looked at the man.

"NO! I love you but you can be an idiot sometimes!" My girl cries.

I smiled as the assistant, clearly overhearing everything, made a fatal mistake, he slipped and sliced my right wrist with the back of the hammer.

"What have you done! You're a f*****g idiot!" The man pulls out a gun and killed his assistant.

But it was too late for him to kill me, as the black vessels barge out of my back, one of them burrowed into the dead assistant's chest and swallowed his heart. The man quickly escaped alongside with my girl.

"HELP ME!" she screams.

I tried, but the wooded nails were in a good place, I finally got out of it, but not fast enough to locate the man. I've lost him, out of rage I killed everyone in the building, innocent or not.

I woke up. The black vessels are running, jumping over the building's edge. About time you come to. The voice, gentler than before, whispered.

Where are we going?

I assumed the flashback you had should be enough.

We're going to that man?

Yes.

Who are you anyway? I got my memory back, but I still don't remember you.

Don't fret. I'm what you call, Darkness. In the past 50 years, the Light destroyed my kind. I fought and fought. I watched my friends died. I had enough and fled. But not before one of the Light cast a spell in me, spreading me apart all over the world. One pinpoint was clear, so every pieces of me took 34 years to get there. When we got together, a woman was screaming, clearly giving birth to a child. I realized, to be a whole again, I need to enter the child. Well, the child ended up to be you. While my journey, the rate of Satan heightens to a point where it beats Christian. Which destroyed all of the Light. Gabrielle was the last to die. He was the one who cast a spell on me. OH look, we're here! I'll continue afterwards.

We landed hard on the ground. "Well, well, well, about time you showed up, I heard you got into a police trouble, so out of pity, I held on to your girl, so you can watch her die." A voice laughed as we entered the building. "Say good bye to your girl!" As soon as he said that, a loud noise erupted. A loud CRACK echoed around the room. The lights were turned on, stinging the black vessel. A creaking noise distracted me. I looked toward the noise, every being of my body feels like it was destroyed.

There was my girl, hanging from a rope grasping her neck and the ceiling. Her limp body creaks the rope as it sways from the recent fall. "SHOW YOURSELF YOU A*****E! I WANT TO SEE THE LIGHT LEAVES YOUR EYES!" I screamed so loudly I'm sure the neighboring business could hear me. A clapping noise emitted from a door as it opens.

"I told you, didn't I!" He smiled as if he just won an award. "I told you, if you didn't give me the power"

"OH I'll give you the power alright! the power of watching your family dies!" I growled as the 2 black vessels shot forward and wrapped itself around the man. I left the building with him, toward his parents' house. I barge in the front door. "Mom, dad! I'm here!" I mimic the man's voice.

"OH sweetie! what an unexpected surp-"

I shut the mother up as the other black vessel shot forward into her fragile chest. Swallowing her heart as she collapse. The man's eye enlarge as the black vessels wrapped around him tightly. I did the same to the father. I moved on, killing every family member of the man.

"Look at this cute baby. She's your niece right?" I smiled as I see the tears rolling down the man's eyes. I smiled as the crying stops with a gurgle. I ran using my 2 black vessels to the forest far from the town.

"I'm gonna let you think about what you have done before you die." I smiled as I break the man's leg. He screams in agony.

"Put me out of my misery! Please!"

"Oh no no no!" I smiled wickedly. "You made me do this." I placed him in a hole that my 4 black vessel dig out. The hole is 8 feet under. I placed a plywood over the top and put dirt over it. I know he can breath. I let the darkness go inside of my body as I walk home. Frowning because I'm never going to find something else to do.

Author's Note

I kinda forced myself to do this. I got nothing to do, nothing on tv, etc. So, my mind was set on the the boy with 20 black thick vessels, so thick it's like a long flexible hand-less arms. But none the less, feel free to criticize me!
