“Never,” darkness promises. “I’m going to continue to torment you the only way I can for now. And eventually you’re going to crumble and give in. And then, you’ll want to be my queen.”
“That’ll never happen,” I promise with my fists clenched at my sides.
“You say that now,” darkness purrs. “But when you find out the truth, you might change your mind. Trust me; sometimes letting the darkness take over is much easier than feeling what lies on the other side.”
“What’re you talking about?” I whisper, my chest constricting as the darkness thickens around me.
“You’ll find out soon.” Darkness laughs.
And laughs.
And laughs.
Until I can no longer hear anything else.
