  • Essay / Creative Darkness - 843

    As I stood at the edge of the cliff, I stared into the dark abyss. It seemed to go on forever, without end. I looked up and around me was a group of waterfalls. The sound of all the waterfalls together made a great roar as she headed towards the black hole. There was no way out, the only way was to jump into the abyss and see where it would take me. Before I could decide, it was too late. I had fallen into the black hole. It was as if someone had pushed me in, I looked up before being swallowed up by the abyss. “Jay, Jay, wake up Blue Jay!” I woke up with my head on my desk, drool coming out of my mouth. I sat up and wiped the drool from my mouth. "What happened?" I said looking at the Red Cardinal, my boss. "You fell asleep Blue Jay, stop acting stupid. I know you're elite here but that doesn't mean you can sleep on the job." I scratched my head and stood up. I nodded at the Red Cardinal and looked out the giant window. Space seems to last forever... "Blue Jay! Are you even listening to me?!" I looked at him and said, "Sorry, I wasn't listening, who's the next earthling I should look out for?" He sighed and took out the folder and gave it to me. "Her name is Kairos Elysium, she was born yesterday. She is the new dark elf of earth. Do you think you can handle that?" I gave him one of my faces that said of course I can, I'm Blue Jay! I grabbed my sketchbook and headed towards the exit of the Bird Watchers headquarters. As soon as I left the building, I jumped into the weightless gravity we have here on The North Star. I headed towards Earth which was only 2.5 light years away. But for an observer like me, it's only about an hour away. Since that day, I... middle of paper... Our atoms combined and we fell swiftly and collided with the fiery pits of hell. My face was against the floor, so I slowly stood up. In the distance, a black hooded figure approached me. "A watcher? How did you get here?" The Reaper took a closer look at me and then said "Blue Jay? Is that you? No...it can't be you." I got out of the fire and laughed hard. The color of my blue eyes and long blue hair began to turn gray. I took the reaper's scythe and then cut him down, he was no more. I looked into the reflection of the scythe and my eyes had turned red and a small white flame appeared in my pupils. My hair had turned black and I cut my long hair for a boyish look. An evil look appeared on my face and I said looking at the reflection in the scythe. "You're right Grim Reaper, I'm not Blue Jay. I'm now The Black Raven. Mwhaha!"
