Arisa still has a blank stare in her eyes, looking to the full-moon above her from the veranda. She couldn''t sleep, so she stared at the starry night with the shine of the moonlight. It''s comforted her a little, ease her heart for just a moment. Even so, sadness still appeared on her face. She seemed conflicted after the conversation she had before.
''Is it the right thing to do?'' She thought.
''Runaway from everything painful to me instead of facing it... Is it what I wanted?''
The murky-feeling enveloped her when she felt self-doubt in her heart. The dark mist came out from her back without her realized it. A black cloud more intense than the killer had. And then, it reformed itself to a black fox-like shape. It had a wicked aura around like what Dark have.
No, this is not what you wanted.
It whispered on Arisa''s back. The voice sounds evil but convincing. It is still connected to Arisa''s shoulder and has red-blood eyes. Arisa felt a little frightened of its presence. Then she asked with her mind.
''What are you?''
I''m you. I''m what you hid.
''Hid?''
I''m what you wanted. I''m your desire. Surrender yourself, Arisa. I will do what you couldn''t in your place.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
''If I surrender myself, will my suffering, gone?''
Yes. I will free you out of it.
Arisa entrusted her whole body to the being. And then, the mist invaded her from the back. Until her body gradually enveloped by the darkness. Later the black fox said excitingly.
Yes, submit to me more. And peace shall await you.
Arisa gently closed her eyes until everything became pitch-black. She relinquished all of her existence so her heart can be at peace.
Moments later, Dark flew back to the house. He''s carrying new clothes for Arisa and a paper bag of food. He sensed something wrong when looking at the hideout from above.
"What happens, Dark?"
"Arisa, I can''t feel her presence. She left the house!"
He landed at the veranda to find Arisa. He searched for her in the other room and downstairs. But she nowhere to find.
"Did you say she will not?" Light replied.
"I got a bad feeling about this. I will search for the girl." Dark flew away from the veranda again, looking for Arisa.
"But didn''t you rather Arisa not get involved with us? You are contradicting yourself!"
"Yes, but she was too unstable comparing to the usual human. She was nowhere near balance. Her life was full of darkness. I don''t think you can sense the light in her when you''re awake. Yet I''m sure she hasn''t infected by the darkness."
"Or maybe, she has been infected long before we met. And I couldn''t sense it. But how?"
"And I''m sure she will not leave the house when I looked at her desire from her eyes."
"The Darkness and The Light in one''s mind never lied. They stay true to themself. So why?"
"You must find her to understand." Light replied.
"Certainly!"
Quite far away from their hideout. One of Arisa''s bully alone in her home. It seemed like her parents still on work for a few days. The bully is still awake in her room. She played with her phone, chatting with her friends. She typed.
[You looked at that nerd''s face when she found out her desk''s full of wet trash. It''s hilarious.]
[Lol lol, you mean this?] Her friend Eriza send Arisa''s picture.
[Lol! She needs to suffer more!! It''s not enough for leaving the group] Again, someone replied, her name''s Asley.
[Let''s discuss her next abuse.]
She''s so focused on her phone. Then she heard noises from her window. When she opened the curtain on her window, Arisa has been there with a knife in her right hand. She looked at the girl with her red eyes. The girl shocked, freezing for a moment. Then she asked.
"A-Arisa, what are you doing on my balcony? W-wait isn''t this 23 floor?" Her legs are trembling.
"I got you..."
Then the window shredded to pieces mysteriously. Even though Arisa only stood on the balcony, like some kind of sorcery.
