Cold.
“With Darkness comes the cold.” An eerie voice whispered in the darkness. my body trembled and shook as the darkness enveloped me. My blood felt cold as it slowly ran through my veins. I felt the goose bumps grow on my skin. My heart felt heavy as if it were encased with ice. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I could feel the tears turn to crystals against my skin.
Dark thoughts surfaced from the abyss of my mind like a violent snow storm from Antarctica.
Fear
Hopelessness
Worthlessness
Sadness
Sin
I sighed ever so heavily. It was dark, yet I still saw my breath turn into an icy mist.

September 5th
I release a sigh as I fiddle with the silver pandora bracelet around my right wrist. My gut is filled with butterflies and my mind was filled with one question.
"Why?" I thought as I laying on my bed's white sheets. "Why would he choose me?"
I continue to observe the nine charms adorning the bracelet. Two black charms that cast eeri shadows at light's touch. One silver guitar. Two cresent moons. A ruby (my birthstone). A flower I couldn't describe. Two stacks of books. And finally, a queen.
My best friend, Zej had given it to me just yesterday at the movies. Zej is pale with dirty blonde hair and emerald green eyes. He whispered in my ear that he had to tell me something. But it was too late. My mother arrived to pick me up and I had to go.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." He said in his quiet voice as I began to walk through the crowd toward the exit.
I had a feeling I knew what he would tell me. I was avoiding this for the three years I had known him. He was the new kid at my school and the other students thought he was weird and avoided him. To me, he looked lonely, so I decided to get out my introveted shadow to talk to him. No one in the class talked to me much either so I knew what he was going through. Ever since then, we were best friends.
Just a few months back he had been my date to the Graduation Ball (which my school had instead of prom). I made myself believe he had asked me because he thought to would be great to go with someone he knew well. And I made myself believe the reason he gave me flowers was to prevent my soft pushoverish heart from saying no. I could swear there's something magical about those flowers as they changed from pink and lavender, to black covered in light snowy particles.
There's magic in the bracelet too. I don't know what it is, but I feel it. I was never one to not believe in magic. Magic is all around. In fact there's something magical about Zej like he's hiding something. But I ignore it. I have my own magic. Everytime I feel dark, depressed, confused, to me my surroundings turn cold and dark and my appearance changes.
I began to feel ice cold again and pull my blankets closer to give me warmth. My room became a cave fit for a polar bear as my furniture became encased with ice. My breath became mist as I sighed. The darkness had returned.
I can't love him because I don't deserve him. He deserves much better. Someone more beautiful. Someone who has less fear and is stronger. I am worthless and don't deserve this type of love. I'm afraid........But I have to love him. He's done so much for me and I've done so little for him. The least I can do is return his love.
Once again I'm torn between my desires and those of others. Now there's something else chaining me to this world.
I rise from the bed and instead of stepping on my dark grey rug, I step on a snowy ground. Shivering, I wrap my black comforter around me and head to the mirror. To make sure I look presentable for when my mother comes to my room calling me to dinner. Looking into the mirror I can see my honey colored skin had turned a few shades brighter. My staightened brown hair was streaked with black and silver. My ears were pointed like and elf's. My brown eyes had turned cat-like with a light icy grey color. My eyes were slightly red as I was crying.
I wipe my cold tears as there is a knock on my door.
"Come in." I call out still looking in the mirror.
"Dinner is ready sweetheart." My mom says coming in the room. One thing I forgot to mention, was that no one seemed to see distorted world around me. Good thing too because my mom would have screamed if she saw the way I looked.
"Okay." I respond as she closes the door.
Releasing another sigh, I take one more look at my pandora bracelet which began to radiate a strange calming energy. I took off my comforter and walked out of my room to go to dinner bracing myself for taunts by my family.

Status: In CIS 106 being idle. (Don't worry folks, my work is finished. just have to check it.) In the process of typing the next piece. Hopefully it will be up this evening. It may take some time to update the next piece. Thank you for reviewing and reading. We're all bored in this world divided into two groups of people. People who are bored and decide to write stories. And those who are bored and decide to read stories.

Okay I'm still in class, but I emailed my work to the lecturer already. Heres the next part hope you enjoy it.
September 6th
I had no idea that Zej is such a good artist. A master Creator. We're in my living room just hanging out (and avoiding what Zej wants to tell me)
“Wow. I had no idea you was a Creator.” I said looking over his shoulder as he finished the last stroke of his paintbrush.
The painting portrays me sitting on the hammock on my back porch looking out into the night sky.
He smiles.
“I’m full of surprises.”
“True.” I clear away my psychology notes from off the table. Suddenly, I feel something splat on my back. I felt it full force since I'm wearing my grey halter top and some jean shorts. What can I say? The heat is unbearable. I quickly spin around.
"Did you just throw paint at me?”
“Maybe. What are you going to do about it?” He smirks wickedly. In high school he was known as the shy and quiet boy. I always known he could get a little mischievous.
I only take on a challenge when necessary. It is totally necessary. He completely ruined my hair and the top dad had sent me from Belize.
I walk over to his supplies and pick up a tube of black paint. I'm having oodles of fun squirting a half of the tube’s contents on top of his head. We playfully glare at each other for a few seconds before I break off running to the sliding door. Of course I was too slow for his speed as he grabs me from behind. No matter how hard I struggle, I can't break away from his strong grip.
“You’ll pay for that.”
“You started it.”
After a few moments, I get an idea. I sink my teeth into the arm closest to my neck and just above my chest, giving him a sharp bite. He winces in pain and release me. I run toward the couch area but ended up crashing into Zéj as he appears directly in front of me without warning. (How the hell did he do that?)The collision causes the two of us to fall to the ground. It hurt. Especially since I'm in between the hard wood floor and Zéj’s body weight on top of me. I completely ignore the pain once I look into his eyes. They switch from human emerald green to demonic blood red practically scaring the crap out of me. There is something calm in yet rebellious about those eyes that attract me. They always have, but I just ignored them. They look into my soul, interpreting my emotions. His breathing and mine become one. The temperature is rising. Despite the shadows that dance around distorting the room.
“Give up yet?” He whispers.
“Fine. You win.” I respond.
The moment is destroyed as the telephone rings. Zej's eyes seem to change back to normal (at least that's how I think I should put it) and he helps me to my feet.
"Its getting late." He says not meeting my eyes and quickly gathering his things. "I should get going."
I let the phone keep ringing and let Zej out the front door without a word.
Releasing a sigh, I walk over to the phone and check the Caller ID. It was my mother trying to call. I decide to call her back later and pretend I was asleep. I make my way upstairs to wash the paint out of my hair.

A continuation of the last entry. Hope you enjoy my beloved readers. And I hope this is worth pausing your studying, homework, or whatever you're doing.
September 6th
I take a long time in the shower. For starters, the paint is quite difficult to wash out. Second, I don't want to leave the sound of the comforting water in my ears.
I release a sigh and the water falling down became snowy. I turn off the water and find myself covered in a light sheet of snow. It'll melt. My hands squeeze my hair a few times then reach for my towel. I leave the bathroom adjoined to my bedroom with my towel wrapped around me.
In a drawer in my closet, I reach for a black tank top and short pink pajama pants (that I've had since I was 12). After changing my clothes, I flop on my bed. All I can think about were Zej's eye. How magical they were. How they wanted something from me. I sigh and raise myself off the bed and open the jewerly box on my nightstand. I pick up the bracelet and secure it around my wrist.
Oh skeptical skeletons, I forgot to mention stuff about the stories main character. Oh stupid me. *sigh* Anyway if you would like information on her, just pm me and I'll make her a profile. I know this part was short, but its just a continuation from the last.

Okay heres another part. Its kind of short which is okay since this story mightn't be soooo long anyway. When this story finishes, I might get inspired to write another one. I hope I actually finish this story. Anyway. Enjoy.
September 11th
"Alright Z you're killing yourself." I say with my cellphone to my ear. "You don't have to say anything to me."
I'm pacing my grey carpeted floor talking to my best friend whom I haven't seen or heard from in days. That is until five minutes ago when he called. I could feel in his voice that he wants to tell me something more than just his feelings toward me.
I hear Zej release a sigh. Whatever he wants to say sounds very serious. There is silence.
"Are you home alone?" He says are a few aching moments of deadly silence.
"No. Mamma, Leo, Teddy and Belle are here." I relpy. "But I'm sure mamma won't mind."
"No. We have to be absolutly alone." He sighs again. "I'll meet you on the beach."
Before I can protest, he hangs up. I sit on my bed and shiver. Zej was acting strange. He seemed unlike the quiet carefree guy who I've known for years. He sounded extremely nervous as if he knew the death watch beetle was hiding under my bed. On this thought, I quickly peek underneath my bed. Pull yourself together Rafa.
Picking up my black and white sneakers and peeked at my reflection the the full sized mirror. I brush off my colorful summer dress that my aunt gave me and comb my bang. Mental Note. Trim my bang.
I throw a few necessities in my black bag and head out of my bedroom door.
"I'm going to the beach with Zej. Don't wait up." I announce while unlocking the sliding door. My house is very close to the beach Zej and I usually go when we want to get bored of my house.
I glance nervously at the pandora bracelet around my wrist and walkout into the warm air.
-------------------------------------------
On my way to the beach, I feel something as cold as ice around my wrist. The pandora bracelet is acting up. I sense danger behind me and freeze on the spot. Despite the warm island air, my breath began turning to icy mist as my heart pounded at 150 beats a minute.
A hand which seems strong enough to crush rocks to dust grips my throat. I do not scream. Instead, I try to remain calm on the outside although I'm screaming like hell on the inside.
"Come quietly."
I close my eyes and drift off into unconciousness.
P.S. Just incase any of you didn't notice, I had changed my name from SupernaturalElemental, to cancerian child, and now Icy Shadow in Fiery Light.

Day Unknown
My eyes slowly blink open. I am chained painfully at my wrists. The top of my dress is stained with blood and I notice my neck is in a painfull state. There is light every where. Even when I close my eyes for a brief nanosecond, I see light. I try closing my eyes for at least three seconds and instead of seeing darkness, I still see light. My body casts no shadows on the white ground beneath where I'm sitting. There is absolutely no black, or darkness around. Just light. For some reason, it makes me feel frightened. Even more frightened than when the darkness takes over me.
I feel exposed. There is no place to hide as I can see my faults. All the times I ever screwed up. I will for the darkness to come and hide me, but it won't. Then it struck me. All those times the darkness had taken over, I was the one who beckoned it to come. It was if the darkness was shrouded around me to protect me. To hide me. The need for the darkness grew so much inside me. Immediately I rose off of the ground, rattling the chains made of silver light that now burned into my flesh. My eyes scrutinized the entire perimeter. Not even a spec of black to be found in the small linen closet sized room. I felt like pulling my hair out. Clawing my eyes out of their sockets. Scratching my skin until it bleeds.
I had never felt this way before in my life.
"What's the matter? Afraid of the light are we?" An unfamiliar male voice ring in my ears.

Oh my this is getting scary! And I can understand her, being a person who would rather be in the dark then in the light. Poor thing~
And I am so sorry for not seeing this before! I've been on a small "Vacation" from internet and I totally forgot to tell you, I'm soso sorry ;__;
BUT this story is still growing strong, and I hope you will finish it. This is really a great story~

CHIPA! I totally forgot about this story till just now!
Anyway, I found on my computer this other part that I wrote but didn't post. So I'll post it. But it may take a while to write another part since I'm still working on another story I've been working on.
Anyway, enjoy.
Day Still Unknown
I close my eyes as the voice seems to have abandoned torturing me at last. For now. In my closed eyes, there’s light and only light. I silently curse the light hoping it would go away. Nothing.
Of course I do what I usually did when I was trapped with no where left to go. I cry. Tears come down like they never had before. Like a violent rainstorm. Like a steep waterfall. I cry and cry until the tears run dry and none is left.
My wrists hurt from the chains. My head is a mess with hurt and pain, both physical and mental. The rest of my body is tired. Worn out. Exhausted. I had completely tired myself out.
Why? Why is this happening to me? Did I do something wrong? Am I being punished?
I hear laughter. My disoriented brain cannot even determine who was laughing, how much beings came together to make the chorus of laughter, or even where it is coming from. Just laughter. Cruel sick laughter.
I slump hopelessly to the floor knowing fighting is useless. I can’t do anything but sit down and take this mocking.
Minutes go by. Hours may be. I wouldn’t know.
But then, the laughing stops abruptly. My ears hear struggle and fight. A war. Beings swearing at each other. Weapons dancing. Then, silence. A long silence.
Raf.
A voice captures my bleeding ears. My mind can’t interpret the owner. But my soul, mind, body, everything that made up my being feels....feels...relaxed? Wow. I almost forgot such a feeling exists.
My eyes slowly blink open. I see it. A shadow, humanoid in shape advancing toward me. I see darkness. Sweet, sweet darkness. The shadow extends its hand to me. My skin feels fingers gently touch my right cheek. Wiping away any tears that weren’t dried up.
At the shadow’s touch, darkness overwhelms my vision as my eyes close shut. The light retreats, being overrun by soldiers of gloom. The temperature falls seriously making me shiver. Rattling the chains that still bounded me.
Sleep.
The voice commands.
I feel sleep taking over. A much desired rest coming my way.
I am cold and surrounded in darkness. But I don’t care. I feel safe.
I fall into sleep at the sound of steel braaking through chains and my body falling limp into strong arms.
