My Dark Sun, Morgan Elizabeth [best short novels txt] 📗

with it. His hands went up and down my body. We rolled over where he was on top and he slid his hand up my shirt, and then slowly made way to my pants.

I stopped him. “Don’t, please don’t.”

“Why not?” he said confused. “What wrong?”

I sat up and looked at him. “This is wrong; we should not be doing this.”

Dark rolled on his back, and put his hands on his head. I could tell he was upset. “Its ok, we won’t do it then. I am sorry I came in.” He got up to leave.

“Dark don’t leave, stay.” I sat on the bed looking at him.

“Ok, I will stay.” He got back into bed with me, and he wrapped his hands tight around me. Thoughts went racing through my mind then I slowly fell asleep and before I new it, I was dreaming.

I woke up, but dark was not in bed with me. I got up in a panic. I ran all around the house but no one was home. There was a knock on the front door; I went an opened it and I was in my home world. The world where demons are made and born and most of us never leave this place. Some people would call it hell, I call it home. It looked just like any other place. We had building, schools, parks, and restaurants. Something was different about it. There was no one here, streets where silent. Trees and plants were dead.

I looked around and I saw my old home, the castle. It sat on the highest hill so we could see over everything. In a blink of an eye, everything started to burn. I heard screams that sounded like needles on a chalk board. Little children cried out for their parents but no one answered them.

I started screaming, the ground started shaking. “Rayn?” I heard someone calling for me. “Rayn?” I woke up; Dark was standing over me shaking me. “Rayn, wake up.

Babe, are you ok?”

I took a min to get my head together. “Yes, why?”

“You started to scream and would not stop. Did you have a nightmare?” he held my hand and continued to stare at me.

“Yes, I am sorry I woke you up.” I sat up. “What time is it?” “7:38 it is almost time to get up and leave.” He got out bed and went to his room.

I got dressed; my favorite red strapless dress was still hanging in the closet. Red is my favorite color to wear. After I got it put on, I went down stairs. I looked around the corner and I saw both of them sitting down on the couch. Jacob was in his red in black tux, while Dark was sitting in his black tux. We had to wear nice clothes, which bothered me because I liked my jeans and t-shirt. I walked in the front room. “Are you all ready to go?”

They both looked at me. “You look really good,” they both said at the same time.

I laughed, “Lets go you too.” We got into Darks car, and drove off. It has been a while since I have been in the city. I like the country a lot better, it is quite and there are not a lot of people out there. The sidewalks were packed with people. They all walked along like nothing was going on. It makes me wonder how many of us are out there in this world.

I finally realized where we were, we were at a bar called The Others. It is a bar for only Angels and Demons but no human can come in. We have two different forms our human form and our true form. The password to get in is our eyes. We can change them if we want to see things the normal way. Angels have blue eyes, and Demons have red eyes. So Dark waited for Jacob and me to go in.

About five minutes later, Dark came in. We all gathered in the back corner. “So now what do we do?” I looked back at them, they just stood there. Then I realized why, everyone was staring at us. “Why are they looking at us?”

Jacob whispered in my ear, “You have been missing for ten years; most of them thought you were dead, and they can not believe that you are alive.”

“Can we please go, they are starting to creep me out.” I swear that no one would blink; they just stood there talking and whispering to each other. Then a little red head came up to me. She was small and had green eyes. “Can I help you?”

She was nervous and stood there for a moment. “Are you Princess Rayn?”

Dark and Jacob just looked at me. “Yes I am, what can I help you with?”

She smiled a little, “are you here to save us?”

I became confused, what was I suppose to save them from, “what do you mean?”

Her smile went away, “The Angels have taken over our world. Most of us have had to move up here and live.”

I look at Jacob “Is this true?”

“Yes, right after you left, they came and burnt down our homes.”

I felt my skin go hot, “why didn’t any one tell me?”

They all went silent. I stood up, everyone backed up. “I promise to restore our homes, and defeat the Angel. We will take back what is ours, and take back our homes.” Every one started clapping and cheering. Then I noticed that Dark was gone. I whispered to Jacob, “where is Dark?”

He shrugged his shoulders. I thought to myself that he would just catch up later.

We finally made it to our home world. The houses here were burnt down. The sky was blue, and there was a sun. We saw Angels peaking out from trees and walking out on the side walks. Jacob showed his true form. He became taller and muscular. His wings were black and a black stem came off of him.

I did not like my true form so I just stayed human. We continued to walk to the castle. More Angels began to walk behind us. The closer we got the castle the more Angels started to follow us.

After a thirty-two minutes of walking there, we finally made it. We pushed the doors opened and they slammed against the walls and echoed through out the castle. No one seemed home but I knew they were and I knew where to look. Walked straight to the war room, I blew the door down and they all stood up. “So who would like to explain to me why my world is the way it is?

A tall blonde stood up, “My son would like to.” She held out her hand, and he stood up. It was Dark.

“Dark, what are you doing here? Come here, please.” Some how Dark was not the same man that I fell in love with.

“Rayn I can’t. I am so sorry.” There was a crack in his voice.

“Dark was do you mean. Just tell me.” I felt the tears starting to form.
