The Outlaw

I wake up. Its raining. I´m standing out here alone. All around me is nothing. Waste land. Just space. There are no recognizable details about this landscape, yet it seems oddly familiar, like I´ve seen it somewhere before. In a dream maybe. I don´t know. I think 

it´s not very important. 

I turn around. There is a small house. More of a cabin than a house actually. I´m walking towards it. The door is broken. I slowly step inside. Nothing. Darkness. Atleast, I guess. Darkness is good. 

"I´ve waited for you. A long time now. Where have you been that long?" 

The voice seems familiar, too. In the same way the landscape did. I notice, that it´s still raining. That´s kind of crazy, considering 

I´m inside of a house. A small and old house, which has definitly seen much better days, but still, a house. 

"Who are you?"

"That´s not important. You won´t need to know."

"Then why have you waited for me. Atleast that has to be a bit relevant."

"There is of course a reason I´ve waited that long of a time."

"Say it."

"It´s not important. You won´t get an answer to whatever question you are going to ask."

"I guess I´ll leave it then."

"Very kind."

"I know."

The voice doesn´t answer. I don´t know if that´s a good thing. I hear nothing else. No sounds, apart from the raindrops falling on the floor. The water is running down my body.

"I changed my mind."

"Great."

"I´m going to tell you the reason."

"The reason?"

"The reason. The reason I´ve waited so long for you."

"Go ahead."

"I need to kill you."

"Unfortunate."

"Hmm. That´s a very reserved reaction to that kind of message."

"I`m just sad."

"Understandable. Your life is going to end soon."

" We´ll see."

"If you´re so optimistic, then why are you so sad?"

"Now that you said you that need to kill me, atleast one of the two of us has to die. That´s sad. It´s not easy to find a good conversation out here. long time since I´ve had one."

Silence. Again. 

"You´re not going to tell my why you have to kill me, are you?"

"No."

"Or who you´re working for."

"No."

"Can we keep on talking?"

"No."

"So you´re gonna kill me now?"

"Yes."

I´m begin to close my eyes slowly. It´s so dark in here, I can´t use them anyway. I don´t need to. I can see without them. I can see, feel hear anything. I´m the darkness. I know where the killer is. But he´s hiding his presence. He´s a silhouette. Slowly positoning himself. i can feel his experience. 

Have they sent him? Probably. Does he know about my powers? Probably not. All to have experienced them are dead. 

He has a small sword. Two actually. Perfect for this indoor fight. He holds them in front of his body, ready to jump on me.

I close my eyes completly. 

From this point on, he has no chance. I´m fully converged with the dark. I feel it streaming through me. Powerful, thirsty, omnipotent. I´m gliding towards the killer. Let him feel my aura. Let him feel fear, anger, hatred, pain. He screams. He realises his situation. His hopelessness. He has fought enough battles to know.

Why did they send someone? Purely for information on my power? Do they see through him? No. I would have recognized it. 

Suddenly light bursts out of his head. An explosion erupts in front of me. I immediately wrap some darkness around it. Control it. but i still feel the power. This coldness, I will never forget it. It took away my ... . 

Enough! Control! They want to know about me. They will not get anything! They are fighting for presence. I need to hold up the pressure while not revealing my powers!

I´m lucky. The rain and the darkness in the small cabin are on my side. I´m able to surpress them. I´m save for now. But htey know where I am now. I will need to watch out better. But I also know something. I will destroy them. They took everything from me. The will pay. I will make them pay!

With this thoughts I´m leaning back into the darkness, my only remaining friend. It holds me, and I´m drifting back to my dreams.
