watching the continuous bangs loud out. The sound began to move upwards. It entered the ceiling.

Her room then became dead silent, with only her breath being heard. There was a moment of silence—footsteps began to echo in the ceiling.

Footsteps like that of a crawling hooved animal. It continued, moving towards the ceiling above the door. Delias eyes trailed after it—It finally stopped.

Slowly, the ceiling patch above the door started to darken. The white patch was being stained by a black goo, which slowly oozed out.

Taking its time, the gue gradually dropping down unto the floor, materializing in a being.

”Quith! ” Delias tone was curt and sharp. She narrowed her eyes at the dark figure standing by her door. Two dark red eyes illuminated from the creatures head.

”Miss me? ” Its hoarsely and dehydrated voice asked.

”Never ”, Delia remained still, lying on the bed, looking relaxed.

With the creatures shape still being rigid and smoky like, it added, ”Did you? Did you see it? What pain. Agonizing pain your dear mother was in as she molded into a beast? ”

”That was nothing new ”, Delia had on a stoic look.

It was nothing new to her, as she had seen worst. The only problem was, she couldn tell what harm would come to her if she didn run from them.

”Not until it actually happens ”, Quith whispered.

”Youve been saying the same thing for so many years, aren you tired? ” Delia raised her brow.

Quith chuckled in humor. The girl was bold when it came to handling her horrors and fears. Before he could speak, Delia asked, ”Who was he? ”

Not needing to explain, Quith already knew who she was talking about. The white man.

In all her years of visions, hauntings, and nightmares, she had come across different types of people, spirits, and creatures, but something about the white man was just odd

”Him? ” Quith acted unaware. He then grinned internally, ”I can answer your question, only when you
e ready to make a deal? ” Delia rolled her eyes.

After all these years, Quith, her personal demon that haunted her dreams and sleep, still kept trying to offer her a satanic deal for her immense ability.

”You won just give up, would you? ”

”Not until I get what I want ”, Quith retorted.

”You dey craze! (You are crazy!) ”, She glowered, being too exhausted from the nightmare she just experienced. Each dream drained a minute amount of energy from her; depending on the intensity of the horror or gore.

”Leave or speak! ” She ordered with dominance. Quith remained quiet for some minutes before speaking.

”Its just a matter of time. Fate will tell you the answer. Behind every light, there is a darkness that grows. The truth of every being… Soon, that darkness will leak–– ”.

The door slowly creaked open. Juliet stood by the door with Quith behind it.

Juliet, who was sent to wake her sister up for dinner, stood by the door, not being able to see or sense anything out of the ordinary around her. The room was already too dark.

With Delias eyes still on hazy smoke behind the door. It slowly fading out of sight.

”Del? ” She turned to Juliet, ”Yes? ”

”Dinner is ready ”.

”Thanks ”. Juliet nodded, shutting the door, and walked away. Delia slowly got up, stretching her hands in the air as she yawned.

Nightmares are so exhausting, she weaned in her thoughts.

Turning to the side, she picked up her Bible, opening the bookmarks, and began to read. After her reading, she shut the holy book, and then took a few minutes to mumble her prayers.

Delia was more than used to the goresome or haunting dreams she had, and nothing affected her. But what made her alert was the appearance of Quith. The creature she had named when she was just ten.

She knew that whenever he appeared to her in the physical realm, adopting the form of a shadow or smokes, instead of his usual whispers and whims, it meant she was about to enter a life-changing phase of her life.

He was just lurking around to strike her at her most vulnerable moments.
