Underground
-Chapter 2- The arrival of Darkness


Three o’clock. In less than an hour, the day would finally be over. Elise would be free to walk home alone, and do her house chores. How…exciting? No, it was plain dull; just like her-self.
She knew she was different from the other children. While the others played happily in their front gardens with their pets and friends, Elise stayed home admiring from far, what a happy childhood was like. It wasn’t her parents fault thought; this was her own struggle to find, inner peace and to live a normal life. For you see, Elise carried this “burden“ since she was a young child, and never managed to decide which path to take. Until now…

“Well, class that’s about it! So, remember to study for your test next week, and have a very nice weekend!” Miss Cumpleton said packing her books and worksheets. The whole class stood up, marched towards the lobby at the sound of the “screaming” school bell and left the building, while Elise stayed there, staring at the window; how she wished she had that many friends and a pretty boyfriend. She closed her eyes, and screamed.

A scream like no other: filled with anger, fear, jealousy, stress and horror .All those feelings trapped inside were released… in the worst way possible. Elise raised her hands to her face, sighed and finally, cried. Between sobs, she heard laughter. Slowly she lifted her head, held her breath and opened her eyes. Darkness and emptiness surrounded her. She could hear her own breath and heart beat…as if time stopped for a moment. A figure was taking from in the pure darkness of the horizon. Elise was now trembling from fear, as if there was something there that could…end her life, right there and then.

“You must be the Neu…” said the figure fully formed, with a bow and a smile on his face .He was handsome, warm and had dark wings. His hair was white as the moonlight, his eyes sparkled like red emeralds and his skin was pale and soft.
“Another creature” Elise murmured “You must be…the dark part of me”
“Why yes…I presume Alora has told you about me. Did she mention my name?” Elise looked away from his controlling eyes and whispered a brief “no”. She felt her eyes burn from pain and fear, she was about to cry again, when the dark angel placed his hand under her chin, and lifted her head:
“You’re not afraid of me are you?” He asked with a grin on his face “I’m just here to help…but if you want, you can run back to Alora…after hearing my offer”.
Elise bit her lip and left out a sob. Why was this happening to her?
“First, let me introduce myself” he began, sitting in a chair that had just appeared in the middle of the “room” - “My name is Merthus. I’m one of the Gate Guardians. My job, here is too show you to best away of accomplishing what you want…”
The poor girl remained quiet except now she was carefully listening.
“Even if that means, stepping over someone…”
