When Shadows Come to Light: The Reset

“Ace?” The girl gasps.  “Do I know you?” I ask.  “Now, now, this is no time for a romantic reunion, though it is touching. We have things to do.” The man in the lab coat stated. Somehow I know that she has the power to fix me, to restore my memory. “You can fix me. I… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: The Reset

When Shadows Come to Light: Wondering why || ft. Ace

I'm back! I'm so close to finishing, and I think that it will only go on for about two or three more weeks. I hope you're enjoying it so far! I wonder around, feeling an urgency in my very being, the reason why I’m here. I don’t even know where I am, just that it's… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: Wondering why || ft. Ace

When Shadows Come to Light: Captured (again)

SECRET broadcast: To all Project Cnidarian research team members:  It is time to extract the girl. This was not in the original plan, but EVIL, her facility, and the government are getting out of control. They are an unexpected variable and must be eradicated. The girl can help us do that. As of now, every… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: Captured (again)

When Shadows Come to Light: Memories

Ace woke up feeling like part of him was missing. Mr. Yates entered his office and peered into his face. “What happened?” Fear crossed Ace’s features. “I don’t know.” Mr. Yates eyes darkened, growing angry. “It was that girl. She’s been here. She’s wiped your memory. I’d know the effects of my power anywhere.”  Cara’s… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: Memories

When Shadows Come to Light: The Confession

“Why’d you leave? What happened? Why are you not dead?” Ace was bursting with questions. “It’s a long story.” Cara replied “It’s been eleven months. I have time.” “Fine. This is not a truce and it doesn’t mean that I will talk to you ever again after this. As I’m sure you guessed by now,… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: The Confession

When Shadows Come to Light: Searching

It had been eleven months since Cara’s death. There weren’t any investigations going on, and pretty much everyone had forgotten about her. Except Ace. He hadn’t stopped looking for her, or proof of her death. Many people thought he was crazy now, but he didn’t care.  The facility had been trying to get him to… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: Searching

When Shadows Come to Light: Revenge

Ace couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t true. They said Cara had been killed in a car accident during her escape. There wasn’t much left after it, as the car had spontaneously combusted, leaving no trace except a wrecked car. The only way that they knew it was Cara was because of a witness who said… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: Revenge

When Shadows Come to Light: Life and Death

Cara disappeared into the alley, following her instincts and entering a dilapidated building after an hour’s walk.  At that moment, time came to a standstill. All of the events from the years before hit her. EVIL, Ace’s sort of betrayal, where she even came from. Here pain, internal and external fell on her like an… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: Life and Death

When Shadows Come to Light: Absorption

Ace refused to give up, even as Cara tried to block him out.  “Ace. I told you to go away. I don’t want to hurt you, but I will if I need to.”  Ace didn’t back down.  “Please, just let me explain myself. I didn’t do anything.”  Cara nodded, as she didn’t want him to… Continue reading When Shadows Come to Light: Absorption
