-Dawning Shadows-
She tries to embrace the Light but something is amiss..
Someone blocked the Light she wants to embrace..
Feeling sad, she walks around with struggles.. When alone, she remember nothing but the 'Phantom', the nightmare of her life..
She remembered everything that has passed.. The scar inside her heart has been reopened again.. And because of that, blood came out of her body.. Her skin turns red.. Blood bursts everywhere from her.. She fell to the ground.. The Earth catches her.. Mother Earth embrace her..
"My child, what has happened to you?? You're covered in blood.. Are you hurt??" She asked.. Tears sprang from her eyes.. She cannot bare to see one of her child is hurted..
"Don't worry, it's just my old scar.. It's reopened and I can't fix it.. It's okay.. I'll be fine" the 'Fallen' one answered, with a voice that barely people can hear.. So low.. Her eyes turned red because of her blood.. She's dying..
"You are not okay!! You're dying!! Please, let us go back to where you belong.. You're safe with me.. It's okay, you're going to be fine.." She insisted with her sweet voice like a lullaby.. The 'Fallen' one hesitated..
"I'm sorry, I can't.. I don't want to be a burden in here.. Just let me rest and leave me alone.."
"But, my child --"
"Please!! Leave me be.. I just.. want to be alone.."
"Allright.. Call me if you need anything.. Don't hesitate yourself."
"Okay, I won't."
Mother Earths returned.. The 'Fallen' one kept thinking.. "Why did 'Phantom' come?? What did he wants to tell??"
Slowly, shadows from around her creeping toward her like a mist.. They've become interested in her blood..
"Ahh, scent of blood never felt so good like this one.. Is she the one?? A figure from the shadows called.
"It has seems to be the one.. 'The true smith of pain'.."- Other figure come from the shadows- "Who are you, little ones?? And why are you covered with your own blood??" The second figure asked slowly, try to not let the scent of blood bothers him..
"I called myself the 'Fallen' one.. This blood was caused by the nightmare of my life.. My scars reopened and blood burst out of my body.." She answered with her loudest voice but she feel her throat was being tangled with something and her voice become so low..
"I see.. Brother, we shall not devour her.. Her pain.. You know about it too, don't you??" The second figure called.
"Well, then what shall we do with her?? Should we help her or what?" The other one got a little bit mad about his brothers conclusion of not to eat her..
"Then we shall take her with us.. It's safer than here.. No one, no other shadows like us can understand her.. Not even an 'Angel'.."
"An 'Angel'!?Since when an 'Angel' would waste his or her time to come down here, 'Abyss of Underworld' anyway??"
"Her memories are transfered into my mind.. I could feel it.. There's once an 'Angel' that came to her and helped her.. But sadly, he threw her away into deep down here.. The cause is unknown.. Unclear, I might say.. I feel pity for her.. She had my sympathy.."
"Whoa, really?! Grr, that 'Angel' was so stupid.. He's heartless.. I wonder how did he become an 'Angel'.. I'm a good person but never become an 'Angel'.."
"Who knows.. So anyway, shall we take her??"
"Sure, she's our sister now.. I feel pity for you too, my sister.. Don't worry, we'll help you cos now you're one of our family.. Be happy, sis.."
The 'Fallen' one that was there, hearing all of their conversation (she only listened to some, though), feels happy.. Now that she has a family.. With her eyes slowly closed, she answered, "Thank you... Brothers.."
And then she fell asleep..
"She must be very exhausted.. Blood came out of her body, though.. She had to suppresed it.."
"Let's hurry before any shadows finds her.. We'll be doomed too.."
"Yeah.. Let's.."
And then, one of them carried them and the other covering her so that no one can see or scent her.. Not a single drop of blood fell..
The first one, the one that was carrying her, talked to her, "Oh yeah, by the way, my name's Valdan.. I'm the youngest from the two of us.. He's Ridan.. We lived together until now.. Lucky we got a sister now cos I'm getting bored of him.." he chuckled and Ridan rolls his eyes.
I smiled a little and then fell asleep again..
"Your pain has healed a little now with those shadows but it's not done yet.. You are not yet fully healed.. You shall rest.. I'll be watching you, my child.. Sleep peacefully, dear.."
Mother Earth's lullaby voice drove her to sleep.. now with a single smile..
"Thank you.."
