Now What's in the Light? {Sequel to What Lies in the Dark}

Chapter 2

(Y/N) P.O.V.

My open my eyes. I rub the sleep out of them, and turn to the window. Summer sunlight streams into the room. I slowly stand. I look at my phone to see its almost 10:30. I walk downstairs to eat an apple for breakfast. I feel like going for a walk today. Maybe to that park down the block. Nice shade from the L.A. summer sun. "Hey kiddo. Want to go set up that YouTube channel?" Mark's voice greets me when I walk from the kitchen to the living room. "Maybe later. I was thinking of going for a walk. Just feel like it." I tell him. "Okay, but be careful. I know you listen to music with headphones when you walk. I don't what you to get his by a car because you didn't pay attention." He says sternly with his "dad" voice. I laugh a little. "Okay, dad." I says in a mocking tone. Times like this are the only times I call him dad. Same thing with Amy. It's been a few years, but it's still so weird for me. So while I view him as my father, I haven't gotten the guts to call him that regularly. I can't tell it hurts them, but gratefully, they have been very understanding about it and don't press it.

"I'll be fine. Plus, if I know Dark and Anti they will probably be shadow following me." I reassure. "Yeah, those two are glued to you." Mark chuckles. I give him a quick hug, and go back to my room to change with the apple hanging in my mouth as I text Ava and Aaron in a group chat. Going to walk around the block. Want to meet up? I text, getting answers in a few moments. Can't, sorry. I have so much cleaning to do in my art room before my mom kills me. Ava says. I chuckle a little at her response, knowing she creates quite a mess. Getting a head start on my summer work this year. Sorry :(. Aaron texts me. Okay guess I'm on my own then. I decide it's fine, since I can listen to music. I change into a (f/c) flannel, and a pair of black, cloth shorts. I grab my mint green, Bluetooth headphones. I place them around my neck for the moment. I braid my hair (if it's short then whatever you want to do.) and brush my teeth. I go downstairs, and put on my favorite galaxy, high top, converse. "Bye, Mark." I shout while standing at the door. "Bye, Angel." He shouts back.

I connect my headphones to my phone, swipe them up, and play a the song Twisted (Up top if you wanna listen to it. But if you like Nightcore, I recommend checking out Sonadow Fazbear. I really enjoy her work, so if you want to please check out her channel on YouTube.) I walk down the street, watching for cars. I look at shadows on the ground every now and then, waiting to see if I can find either pink or green, but I don't. I find it a little abnormal, but it happens sometimes when shit happens in the demon world. I get to the park, and look around. I see children playing on the playground, and people feeding birds on benches. Typical 'park in a movie' stuff. I notice that there is an icecream vendor close to the sidewalk to my right, but what catches my attention is two certain someone's. Ava and Aaron? I see them finish icecream cones before going off behind a tree. I follow quickly to see what's up, but when I turn the corner I wish I hadn't. Aaron and Ava are making out furiously. Tears prick my eyes. I thought.... "What the Hell is this shit!" I shout. They break away, startled. I turn to A. "You've been cheating on me? With who I thought was my best friend." Tears stream down my face. "How could you? How long have I been fooled? Was I just being used to get to Ava/Aaron?" A looks panic stricken, but then the face is replaced by calm.

"I'm sorry, (Y/n). I just couldn't be with you anymore." I smack A. "Then break up with me. Don't cheat. And you!" I swivel to the other criminal, "I thought you were my friend, but you go behind my back to date who I'm dating." The tears have stained my face by now. "Shows what people you two are. Have a nice life without me in it." I'm about to turn, walk away, but I hear A mumble something that makes my blood boil. "Well you weren't really apart of it anyway." I look at A. "You bitch." Something comes over me. We came back to you, (Y/N), those powers are not lost. Show them what you are capable of. I can feel the power inside, but it's not the light inside. It's darkness, and it scares me. I give A one more good smack before running off, still crying. I can hear Ava/Aaron consoling A.

A's P.O.V.

Part of me is guilty to do that, but I couldn't be with her anymore. And I wanted to be with Aaron/Ava, who wanted to be with me. But the scariest part of all that was I could have sworn the whites of her eyes turned black.

(Y/N) P.O.V.

I keep running. Out of the park, down the black, past my home, and to my old house. It's abandoned now that my abusers have been arrested. I walk in. It's dark and musty. I shudder slightly when I think of my memories. I think of my sisters. I haven't talked to them since child services took them. But I have looked them up, and they're happy, and that's what matters. I'm tired from running, and sit with my knees pulled to my chest in my old room. I grab onto the necklace around my neck. What's inside me? Am I a monster? I'm so scared. Anti, Dark, I need you please. I hope Anti can hear my thoughts. I sob into my hands quietly. After a few moments I hear the fluttering of their wings. I look up. They rush to my side as soon as they see my tearful face. "Oh, Angel, what happened?" Darks baritone voices asks, concerned. "I'm scared." Is all I can say.
