The blackness had engulfed me some time ago when I had first stepped onto the road not taken. I had always been told, even as a young child, that as soon I crossed the line between our world and the black dimension that I would be surrounded by nothing but darkness, but this was not what I had been expecting. I had thought I would at least be able to see my feet, but no, all I could see was a faint red glow in the distance and the blackness around me. I hadn't wanted to come here but I had been left with no other alternative. Because my life and everyone else's depended on me finding one person, Stephen Drazmir, he's the only one that can save our world but I'm the only one that can find him.
Our world had once been beautiful and full of life, but now it's just part of an undead world, where the only hint of humanity is below ground, because that's the only place we're safe. Creatures of the night rule the surface and it's all your worst nightmare, vampire's, werewolves, kitsune and other creatures prowl around looking for food or amusement. That's the reason we need Stephen, he's the only person we know who can fight vampires and werewolves, and therefore our only hope.
By now I had been walking for hours, hoping I was getting closer to the red light and not just imagining it being there. Because that red light meant that I was getting closer to Stephen, yet I wasn't so sure I was getting closer. In fact it seemed father away, but that was impossible because the light meant a village, and a village couldn't just move. I decided I must just be going mad, and carried on moving towards the light.
Suddenly I could feel air being blown on the back of my neck, like someone was breathing on it. I spun around, kicking out with my foot hoping to catch whatever it was by surprise. But it didn't work, something grabbed my foot sending me of balance and I fell to the ground banging my head on something as I fell.
This was it, I knew it. This was the reason why it was called the road not taken because anyone who was even stupid enough to take it didn't come back, and I knew I wouldn't either. I closed my eye's not wanting to see whatever it was that would kill me, I didn't want my last thoughts to be of how scary this creature of the night was.
I readied myself for the pain hoping it would be a quick death, but death never came. Instead I only saw a bright light through my closed eye's, so I quickly opened them to reveal who or what was stood in front of me.
What I was not expecting was Stephen Drazmir, I had been expecting a vampire or werewolf or something along those lines, but the only thing stood in front of me was Stephen.
“H....Hi..” I said trying to steady my breathing, and look like I hadn't just been scared out my mind.
“Sorry about the kick I wasn't expecting to find you till I got to the village.”
“Well-” He said moving the light so that it shined off to the side of me, and was no longer blinding me.“I didn't expect to see you at all. What are you doing here?”
“I'm here to find you. You need to come back with me, because we're all in danger and your the only one that can help us.”
I was about to carry on speaking but he wasn't paying attention. His eye's seemed to be locked on something behind me and as I moved to see what it was Stephen grabbed my arm and stopped me from moving. But I didn't need to see what it was because I heard it growl, it was a werewolf.
“Don't move.” He said, his voice calm and controlled as he reached into his inside pocket of his leather jacket and pulled out a silver stake.
The next few minutes passed so quickly I hardly realised what was happening, Stephen pushed me towards the ground and into a corner handing me the flash light and telling me to stay down. He jumped to meet the attack of the wolf and they grappled for a minute before Stephen finally got the silver stake into his heart.
I breathed a sigh of relief as he rejoined me, batted and bruised, yes, but alive. Pulling him with me we started to head in the direction I had come from, hoping we would at some point find our way back to our world and that we wouldn't get killed in the process.
) there.
