A door. A lock. No key. His friends. Gone. Gone through the door, the door of temptation. Gone through to hell, the dark creation. He needed to save her. Ellie. His best friend. He loves her. Loves her. Unconditionally, no matter what..
No matter what...
But at what cost?
The light, fading away from him, as he approaches the door. The door of darkness, the door to hell. Standing in the twilight between shadow and sight. Silence. A deathly silence. Hope. A fading hope. Love. A burning love. Nothingness. A void of nothingness...
"Ellie... I love you..."
Not even an echo. Just nothingness...
The darkness is blind. No sight, no movement, just death. Death. Nothing, just death. Ellie. She chose death. She chose death...
"I love you..."
Sobs rack his body, sobs of pain, sobs of brokenness. Muted. Unheard. Silent. Speechless. The heartfelt wounds upon his soul, the scars upon his whole, the rage burning he does know... He knows it so well now, the anger, the hate, the hate of the darkness, the hate of evil, the hate of the rebellion that took his friends away...
He hates it...
But what if he needs it...
A slither. A whisper. A hiss. He knows the sensation so well... The sensation of darkness, encroaching in, the defiance against his soul, the refusal to obey the light... The sensation of temptation, approaching in, the reliance of condemnation, the accusal of the night...
Lucifer. He's here.
"I can give you the key... But only if you obey me..."
"Never!" The holy wrath burning in his veins, pure fury against the serpent's temptation. He knows that only the light can save, but darkness enslaves... He knows that only love can save, but darkness depraves...
"But what if I can save?"
Silence. The tense silence in his heart, the hateful silence in the twilight, in the night... Light can drive out darkness... But light has not found Ellie... Light is sovereign and divine... But light has not found Ellie...
"Fine. Make me the key."
"No. First, you must learn from me..."
