Dying of the Light
Once upon a time, in a world like ours, but different, similar in many ways, lived a girl, though she looked like an ordinary girl she was far from it. Little did she know she would be going on an adventure of a lifetime, though. Not one that a person would enjoy.
Something more similar to how Sara feels doing the dishes. “1 more year to go...” as she does the dishes. “1 more year to go until I get out of this dump.” as she stacks the last dish “and... Finished, finally.” she walks out of the kitchen and toward the staircase to get some sleep. “Where do you think you are going, young lady! I need this floor cleaned!”
Sara lets out a huge sigh. “Yes Ms. Anagran” Ms. Anagran suddenly looks at Sara with a stern and serious face. “Don’t give me that attitude with me. Or I will throw you out on the streets, where the Riven can devour you. Sara shudders at the idea of being eaten alive by the Riven, who are infected people with The White Plague. An incurable virus, makes them allergic to sunlight and savage
After furiously scrubbing the floors, Sara finally lies down for some rest. When her friend starts talking to her in a whispered tone. “Psst! Sara! Are you awake?” says Emily, keep in mind, 4 other people share the same room, as it's a children's home.
“Yes Emily, I'm awake, now that you have awoken me,” Sara says in an annoyed tone. “What do you want? It's 1 in the morning.” Emily gets off her bed and inches closer to Sara. “Well, have you heard the rumours? About the war?” she says in a hushed tone as if she wasn't meant to talk about it. “What? What war? I haven't heard of any war.”
“The war between Riverchest and Dawnmere? I have only heard rumours, but if it were true, I'm afraid it would make things worse on top of the days getting shorter and the riven growing. I think” just as Emily is about t finish the sentence, the person in the other bed speaks up, “Oi, look, can you two shut it? It's 1 in the morning and I'm trying to sleep.” Emily waves goodnight and gets into her bed. Sara looks up, thinking to herself, “what if it was true? No, it can't be.” she slowly drifts off to sleep, but not 2 hours later, everyone is awoken to blaring alarms. Panic ensues.
“Emily!” Sara cries out, suddenly Ms Anagran comes into the room Trying to calm everyone down, Sara gets a brief glimpse at her, and she sees it, Fear, total and complete fear. Trying her hardest to hide it. “What's happening? Where is Emily?” Sara said in a serious tone? “Its nothing to worry about! Everyone stay calm!” Sara goes downstairs to search for her friend. And she sees the TV.
“We have breaking news, Dawnmere has declared war on Riverchest. We are getting ongoing reports, but stay here for the latest.” Sara hears a car pull up, that never happens.. She gets her shoes on and sneaks around the back of the building to a gate at the front. Ms Anagran walks out. The man and her are talking in extremely hushed voices. Sara notices the symbol of the throne on the mans car. “She is here. Yes, why her? She is a nobody!”
Suddenly the man takes out his gun, and shoots Ms Anagran right in the head. Sara does a loud gasp and the man notices. But doesn't do anything. He takes a picture out of his pocket looks at it, and then takes his gun out again, preparing to fire on Sara. “s**t!” the man fires but just misses, Sara climbs a fence and runs, the man chases after her with insane determination. Sara hides. But the man starts retreating. Once safe, Sara gets up, only to realise... This is a riven quarantine zone..Once upon a time, in a world like ours, but different, similar in many ways, lived a girl, though she looked like an ordinary girl she was far from it.
