I ran accross the pavement, the wind blowing in my face, so terrified. The only thing I could see was darkness, it was coming for me. I knew that I couldn’t stop, but there was no-where to go. I tried to run, but it was like trying to pull a door of it’s hinge. Impossible. Coming up behind me, I heard frantic footsteps. Is this the end? I questioned the darkness, but a voice replied.
“Why are you here?” it growled
I looked around me, I couldn’t see anyone
“Why are you here?” it asked again
I tried to move my mouth to speak, but no words came out.
“USELESS!” it screamed “but we shall meet again, Lena Ray”
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on my back, and fell to the floor. The last thing I saw was the sun coming up, as a thousand faces looked down at me, before I swam into unconciousness.
“Is she going to be okay?”
“Ma’am, I can ensure you, everything is under control”
I heard whispers of a conversation, and the constant beeping of what I guessed was a moniter. I peeled open my eyes. I was in a big white room, with several pieces of equiptment attached to me. I sat up, but as I did, the beeping got faster, and then the door opened, and a man with a white lab coat stepped in.
“Miss Rey, good to see that you are still alive” he chuckled, “but I must imform you that you have been asleep for quite some time” getting more serious, he walked and adjusted the monitor, as a woman walked in. She was short, and had grey hair tied back in a bun. When she noticed that I was awake, she ran over and hugged me.
“Lena, I am so glad that you are okay” she whispered in my ear “I’m okay grandma” I say “What happened?”
I contemplated telling her about the darkness, about the voice, about the searing pain in my back, but I decided not to.
“I was running, but it was dark, and there was a rock, I tripped and blacked out” I knew that it was a lame excuse, but it was all I had.
“Oh Lena” she said, stroking my black velvet hair
The doctor that was playing with the monitor, stopped and walked over to me and grandma.
“Miss Rey, you will be glad to know that you will be discharged from the hospital in 1 hour” he said “Thank you” I say, grinning “I’ll come and pick you up then” grandma said. She kissed my forehead and then left. Then, the phone rang, the doctor picked it up.
“Um, excuse my. Miss Ray, you have a visitor” “Okay then”
The doctor left, and then a boy walked in. He had short brown hair and very bright blue eyes. He sat down on the chair next to my bed.
“sorry to intrude” he said, “but you and I have alot to talk about”
“W-what do you mean?” I asked, propping myself up on my elbows
“How did this happen, and please don’t lie about it”
“You wouldn’t belive me if I told you”
“Try me” he challenged
I explained everything to him, it was as if I could tell him anything. After a few minutes of silence, I finally spoke up
“You don’t belive me, do you?” I ask “Of course I do” “What do you mean?” “Once you are discharged from the hospital, it will probably come for you again. All I can suggest, is that you come to meet me and the others, and we’ll explain it then” “Where?” “51 Cosgrove Drive”
Then, the doctor walked in
“I’m sorry, but visiting hours are over” he explained
The boy with no name stood up, and walked accross the room
“You never told me your real name” I say “Luke” he replied, and then he was gone.
A new beginningAs I headed to 51 Cosgrove drive, the sunny town that I call home, turned grey and wet. I pulled up outside of the large looking house, and went to ring the doorbell. The woman who answered who answered the door had short blonde hair in a bob, and yellow eyes which were almost too bright to look at.
“Lena, we have been expecting you. My name is Louise” she said, “please come in”. She beckoned me to follow her, so I did, but what I saw was not the wattle and dawb cottage I had just seen. It looked somewhat bigger on the inside than it did on the out, with a grand staircase in the middle of what I think is a dining room.
“I’m betting you would like to go and meet the others. If you go up the stairs, turn right, right again, and then left, you’ll find a white door, go in there” she smiled, I followed her instructions. On the walls of the various corridors, were paintings of landscapes, they looked really old. Finally, after what felt like 10 miles, I reached the big white door. I opened it, and saw four people sat around a large wooden table. There were two girls and two boys. The first girl had shoulder length bright red hair, and green eyes. The second girl had blue hair with black highlights, it was very long, and blue eyes. The first boy had blonde hair and, wow, yellow eyes, and the last boy, obviously, was Luke.
When Luke noticed me, he stood up, and came over to greet me.
“Lena” he said, “I would like you to meet Saphire” he pointed to the first girl, “Avril” he pointed to the second girl, “Jacob” he pointed to the first boy, “and me” he laughed, and I laughed back.
I went to sit imbetween Luke and Saphire, and they handed me a photo. I recognised the brown book in the photo from somewhere. My bookshelf.
“This is the book that was on my book shelf” I say
“What!?” stammered Jacob, jaw wide open “It can’t be” whispered Avril
I turned to look at Luke, who was just as shocked as everyone else.
“What?” I ask, frustrated
“This book, it’s like the second most powerful thing in the universe” explains Luke
“Look, I don’t know why I dragged myself here. So if one of you doesn’t tell me whats going on, I might as well leave” I almost shouted
“She has a right to know” said Saphire
“Alright then, you asked for it. Back before the universe itself, before life had began. In fact, before anything was created, came the Darkness. Now, at your school, you were probably taught that God was the one that created the world, where people could be happy. Well, they were half way there. This is going to sound a little crazy, but the darkness created humanity. He was lonley, he needed to make himself happy, so he created the humans. But as the humans took control over their planet, the Darkness fell frustrated, it couldn’t bare to be around us, so it fled, and created another life form” interpereted Luke
“Like Aliens?” I ask
“No-one has ever seen them, they keep hidden among the darkness itself, almost like invisible warriors, to protect the darkness. When few humans were selected by the god of power, they were sworn to protect our world against these, no matter what, these few are called Light warriors, passed through generations, the blood of a light warrior reached us. We all have a gift, selected by the gods themselves, mainly to unravel our future. Saphire here, can go to your past, to find codes, addresses or phone numbers. Avril can influence someone to do anything, and they would do it, even if it was to jump of a cliff. Jacob can generate electricity from his hands, and I, can visit the future, but not for long.”
“Why are you telling me this?” I questioned
He sighed, and then looked me in the eye
“You’re one of us” he said, slowly
You are one of is, the words echoed around my head, like a non-stop roundabout.
“I-I think you have me comfused with someone else” I stuttered
“Sorry, but we don’t. You see, I visited your past” Saphire said
I glanced at Luke, who just nodded
“I’m going out for some fresh air” I say
“You can’t, it’s not safe” argued Luke, in a firm voice
“Why not?” I ask
“The book in the photo, did you say that you have it?”
“Yes”
“Many people are after that book. You also know the concept of day and light? Well, in that book are instructions, of how to make the darkness everlasting, but even the darkness itself doesn’t know how to do that. If the Darkness gets it’s hands on that book, our world will be a world of war. Therefore, we must protect the book with our lives”
“Comfusing, but true” Avril clarified
“So, you know those talents. What is mine?” I ask, intruged
“Thats where it gets even more complicated” explained Jacob, examining my shocked face
“You somehow have everything, there is no limit to your talents. Only, when another person with the same talent dies, you will no longer have that talent” Avril spoke clearly
“And you expect me to belive this!?” I actually shouted that time
“No” said Saphire. That calmed me down
“Okay” I said, trying to take control of my shaky breath, “but why come after me if the book is at my house, why not just break into my house?”
“The book isn’t at your house anymore” said Jacob
“And how would you know that?”
“The book, it’s no ordinary instruction manual, this book has been on earth ever since the begining, and it has a mind of its own, literally. It decides what it wants to look like. Basically, it’s a self defence system, it can disguise itself as any book that has ever been written, and move itself to any place in the world”
“So that explains why it wasn’t under my pillow this morning” I realise, suddenly feeling really stupid
There was a long silence, and then something snapped in my brain
"But how are we supposed to find it, it could be anywhere in the world"
"Every time it transports, it goes in a circle. But as it travels, the circle gets smaller" Said Luke
"Like a spiral" I say
"Exactly"
"But how do we find it?"
"We're going to visit you're past"
The bookHearing someone talk about visiting my past gave me a warm feeling inside, not everyday does that happen.
"So how will this work?" I ask, a little nervous
"We can't just jump right in, first I need to ask you
