Thread: Silver Light

Once Rosebel reached the beach she instantly fell refreshed and completely forgot about the incident. She just sat down at shore and watched as waves made their way towards her and back into sea.
There weren't any people because it autumn morning. Rarely who came to beach then because swimming season was over and sea had not yet frozen over. In winter ice layer was so thick that it could hold whole village on it. People used this to have annual ice sculpture contest that lasted as long as ice was safe.
Suddenly Rosebel noticed some dark figure hiding in shadows. Instantly she sent a small beam of light magic towards stranger who quickly avoided it and jumped out into the light.
"Is that how your greet your uncle, Rose!" Said Lucifer, Rosebel's uncle and her mother's brother, while angrily pouting at girl. Lucifer was now in his demon form which clearly made him look inhuman. He had bit redish skin, horns coming out of his head, long, straight black hair which were identical to Rosebel's and red eyes. He stood more then 6 foot tall and looked enormous next to little girl and despite his demonic look, he was really handsome.
"Uncle Lucifer, you know that it's not good to sneak up on me! And please change into your human form, someone might see you!" Rosebel scolded her outgoing uncle.
"Okay, okay! You're such a strict niece! But that's why you're my favourite," Lucifer exclaimed and changed into his human form, which was almost the same only without red skin and horns.
"I'm your only niece! Why are you here?" Rosebel asked.
"I'm here to warn you. They know that you're here!" Lucifer said with serious expression and once again vanished into the dark.

The pathway to home was lined to the shore. The sidewalk was calm and peaceful. Darkness was illuminated by the street lamps that lined up at very fair distance from each other. It was then that a full moon was out, the colour seemed a lot more off then it use to be. But Issak never take heed to the giant rock. He would more focus on the stars... "If only there were any in the sky." He would stare at the purple sky, but would not see a single shining light. He found it awfully strange as the more recent months, stars were harder to make out. Some he reasoned to be of the artificial lights of the small town. But it was rare because the town the size of Linbooru would not even fade away half of the milky way. The only main focus besides the night sky was to head home and ate his dinner. Issak always worked late at the library and would rarely make it home in time for any 8pm special. But he was more into studying then watching the latest pop culture media.

As he kept on walking, he started to hear footsteps from behind. He did not bother turning and only assumed that it was other people. He was also afraid to even look back as sweat started to roll down his cheek. "Don't mind the footsteps. Its just other people going home." He kept on walking and the sound of another set of foots could be heard far off. Pain was starting to grow from his shoulder.

Issak was not sure how long he was walking. His heart started to race and increase in tempo at the constant sound of footsteps. He then stopped in his tracks and heard that the sound behind him has stopped as well. Issak felt a shiver and could not help but peer behind him only to catch a glimpse of nothingness. His breathing became harder as he noticed the surrounding. It was obvious that it was a bare sidewalk, with nothing visible to hide behind. Where are those footsteps coming from? He wanted to cry, he must be feeling what Rosebel must have felt if she could sense Issak's stalking. Issak faced the front direction again only to see a flashing street lamp flashing at a very far distance. "Oh god, please don't do anything terrifying on me." The flickering light then burned out. "There goes my only light sou..." Before he could finish his sentence, the streetlamp next to it burned out instantly. Then the next one, and moved on towards Issak. "What the heck?" He did not know why, but with the growing pain from his shoulder and the speed of streetlamps burning out in front of him, his instinct told him to run. Issak ran at the opposite direction. He wanted to cry and just yell for help but the pain in his shoulder stopped him from saying a peep as he was holding onto his shoulder and massaging it hoping the pain would go away. "Is this a joke of a black out or something?" He did not want to know why the lights were turning off. All he wanted was for somewhere safe to be.
