Darkness [Part 3]

[Lose 881]

The light woke me up.

 

The room was only dimly lit, but it still felt like the sun inhabited the insides of my eyes when I opened them. After the pain subsided enough to see through my eyes, I looked around. The room seemed to be made of completely white stone, bright enough to make it wish I was back in darkness. I tried to stand up, but failed immediately after I learned my hands were bound. I looked down at what was binding me, and was shocked to see ropes. The weird thing was that the ropes were pitch black.

 

I must have tried for hours to get out of the bonds. Eventually I got to the point of hopelessness deciding to just sit and concentrate until my head hurt, acting like I knew what I was doing or what was going to happen. Then something happened. 

 

I didn't notice my hands had slipped through the bonds until I opened my eyes. Once I opened them, I came to my senses and knew something felt wrong. I proceeded to stand up and then realized what I had managed to do. I looked at the ropes, then at my hands. I did a double take; there were black streaks in my veins. Putting it aside as just aftereffects from closing my eyes for a long time, I pushed that thought aside and focused on trying to get out. I started searching the walls from ceiling to floor, every inch of it. I couldn't see any indication of a entrance, or an exit for that matter. I searched for about 2 hours with my frustration growing to the point I started just slamming the walls and screaming through tears. 

 

I looked around then I saw the chair.

 

 

I rushed over and started searching every inch of the chair. I looked at the bottom of the chair legs, under the chair, the floor where the chair legs were. Eventually my anger came back and I threw the chair across the room. It flew like a paper airplane into the wall and shattered.

 

Since when did I become this strong?

 

I used to be weak enough I thought ten to twenty pounds was a lot; the chair must have had been about 10 pounds. I looked at my hands in amazement.

 

"Goddamn..."

 

My veins were now almost completely black and darkening by the second. Starting to get scared, I ran around the room in desperation to somehow get away from what was happening. My hands soon started to tingle, and I just stopped and concentrated, just like I had done for the ropes. The tingling grew and grew until it started turning into pain. As the pain grew, I stood there and focused my thoughts on stopping it. Suddenly the pain stopped and I opened my eyes. A black smoke seemed to be coming out of my hands. I soon realized it wasn't black smoke. They were shadows.

 

I looked at the shadows and panicked. I closed my eyes and tried to somehow make the shadows form a small ball. I opened my eyes and almost had a heart attack. Hovering in front of me, was a pitch black hovering ball. I willed the shadow to make a replica of me. I opened my eyes again and saw me, but in such a dark black it seemed two-dimensional.

 

I decided to do some more experiments. I closed my eyes and felt the pain return, but it was noticeably less painful. I couldn't tell if I had actually opened my eyes when I had done so. I noticed the shadow was slowly depleting, but I couldn't see where. Eventually I could tell it was escaping through a crack in the seam between one of the walls and the floor. I forced the rest of it through then made more shadow, and then proceeding to make basically an army of myself. Then I willed myself to turn into shadow, something I didn't know what would happen but knew it would work. 

 

"O.K, Mr. Lord-of-the-Darkness or whatever. You're going to eat your words. And if you don't, I will shove them down your throat for you."

 

I plunged into the darkness.

Wow, I love it. I am genuinely really looking forward to future parts, with our newly-created superhero(?) hunting down his captor. The character arcs have lots of potential, and I am eager to find out where you go with them!

Very accurate, apart from one sentence:

• "The thing weird was the ropes were pitch black, as black as outside."
• Which was slightly odd, and so I flipped it around a bit.
