~Ꭲhꫀ Ꮮเght~ ——————————-Chapters——————————— [ 1: Sunshine ] [ 2: The Accident ] [ 3: Broken ] [ 4: Rekindling ] [ 5: Author’s Notes ] ————————{Chapter 1: Sunshine}———————- It was a lovely summer day- like every other day! The hot sun outside was shining into my small bedroom. Downstairs, mother was making the pancakes for us. I could smell it from my bedroom! I went down and sure enough, there they were. Ohh they looked so good… “Good morning, Sunshine!” said mother, in her usually calm, sweet voice. “Oh, hey there Sunshine!” Dad said entering the kitchen. “Good morning, guys! Mom, the pancakes look amazing-“ And they were! They always were. Later in the afternoon, I met up with Moonlight. She was my best friend! We did everything together- Music, school, sports, dancing (which I was very horrible at, by the way…), and so many other stuff! But the best part? We were ourselves. And we weren’t afraid of what others would think. No one could stop us- those dogs, those snakes, none of them. They can say what they want about us, but we won’t hear any of it. At night, after saying goodbye to Moonlight, I walk home, and me, mother, and father eat delicious dinner together. And before bed, after our “goodnights,” I write about my day in my little diary. Well it’s not much. I don’t live in a mansion, but I don’t live in the streets either. I don’t wear the fanciest clothes, but I don’t wear rags either. And I don’t have the most new, cool, and expensive stuff- but I have everything that DOES matter. I mean, I HAD what mattered… until… ———————{Chapter 2: The Accident}-——————- It was a cold autumn night, in late-September. It was an ordinary day, and I just came from Moon’s house. As I was walking, it seemed more quiet than usual, other than the crunching of fallen leaves underneath my feet. When I reached the house, I noticed it was unlocked. Upon entering, I saw father crying on the floor. I asked what happened and he told me about The Accident. It took mother. Why? Why did it have to happen? And why to her? Why our family? Why!? ————————-{Chapter 3: Broken}———————— I can’t remember everything that happened that night, and maybe I don’t want to. I just remember what happened after. The Accident didn’t only take mother, it took everything I ever cared for. After The Accident, father was heartbroken. He was no longer kind and funny and loving. Instead, he became more withdrawn, anti-social, and short-tempered. I remember him shouting and sometimes beating me. The Accident also affected my studies, activities, and even my friendship with Moon. In time, we fell apart. That made everything worse. In the middle of the cold winter, I decided I’ve had enough. So I packed my bags and ran away from all of this. Alone in the streets, life was harder than ever. Walking alone in the cold winter, i felt tired, and hungry. Very hungry. I walked by a small store, and I saw a nice juicy apple. I took it while the lady wasn’t looking. As the months went by, I kept stealing food- but before I knew it, I was stealing not only food, but anything and everything I want. Jewelry, watches, wallets, anything I saw. And with each little theft, I felt my light falter. It wasn’t much at first, but little by little I felt darkness take over. I was no longer a bright, kind, and good kitten. Life felt better, and because of the expensive things I stole, i was able to afford a small apartment. Not much, but better than living on the streets. I also hung out at the clubhouse to distract me of everything. It did, at least for a while. Life was alright, but it felt… lacking. I felt like there was this Void inside me, and that nothing I do could fill it. I guess i’ve always felt that way, even when I was younger, it just grew now. Still, I continued with this life for years- until I didn’t want to. A year after The Accident, I decided to end this. I was a hopeless wretch. The darkness completely covered me now, and there was nothing left I could do. As I walked down the busy street (it was still a busy morning), I bumped into someone. I didn’t recognize her at first, but then there was so mistaking who she was- It was Moon! I couldn’t believe it. We haven’t seen each other in a whole year. After this huge fight we had, we stopped talking to each other. Moon looked at me, I’m sure she was having a hard time recognizing me, but she did. “Sunlight…?” she asked in disbelief. “Hi Moon……” I replied. “Sun… What happened? You were the brightest light I knew-“ “Well things happen. Life’s not fair, and it sucks. I’m a mess alright? You can’t help me. No one can. Leave me alone, would ya?” I snapped. I thought she would reply with some mean, snarky comment, but instead, she just smiled. And she said “Sun, you are my best friend. I will always love you, and I’d never leave you.” She said, “There is a light, THE Light, a power, and it will be your hope in the darkness. It helped me in {+}
