CHRONICLE OF DARKNESS

PROLOGUE

 

It was pouring rain that day, as I ran through the streets with my chest stinging and my muscles crying in protest. I knew I didn’t have much longer to go, and that I had to get there quite quickly … time was running out. Other children, parents, or just lovers whom had decided to wait to the last minute to part seem to fly by me as they all darted into their homes, and into the shelter from both the rain and the darkness that would soon be coming. The time was now 8:59pm, and I actually cursed as I tried to kick out more and put more speed into my run. My mind was chiding me even as I felt tears of fear run down my face … there was no way I would make it in time.

 Oh why, oh why, had I chosen to stay with my friends so long? I knew the penalty for my crimes, and I knew what would happen if I didn’t make it home on time. So, what had made me decide to take that risk? Oh how I wish I could blame it all on ignorance, but they had told me … they had warn me, and finally my friends’ parents had thrown me out. They couldn’t keep me for the night, because if the darkness found me there they would be punished for my crime. Thus, they sent me out a lone, a young girl aged 10, to try and make it home before the darkness came. Yet, they knew even as I ran that there was no way that I would make it home in time, and that this was probably going to be the last time that they saw me.

 

The chiming of the bells rung out, and I tremble as I ran. I was out of time, and soon … my life would end. The air around me was cold, and the streets were completely deserted, and yet, even though I knew my fate I continue to run as I saw my home in the distances. Maybe … just maybe I could outrun them, and make it to my home before they spotted me. Though this was probably as likely as a Magikarp learning how to walk on land, but yet, it some shred of hope to keep my muscles pumping even as I saw the lights within my home go out.

My mother will probably not open the door, and as I thought this … I then hear the sounds. The harsh barking of the dogs as they were released upon the town, and upon anyone whom was out during curfew.

 

 The time is now 9:00pm, and I knew ... l would never see my home again as in front of me a streak of grey planted itself in front of my home. Now even if my mother would have opened the door I would never reach my home to dart inside as it turns its hungry jaws towards me, and raced in my direction. I slam my feet into the soil as I made it a point to come to a complete stop only to see his body hurling through the air towards me. I closed my eyes as I expected next to feel the pain as his body collided with my own, and I was knocked to the ground as its teeth found my throat.

 

It was 9:02pm, and I knew my life was at an end, and I would never see my family again.
