I was surrounded by darkness and heard a faint clicking noise around me. I was lying on something I don't know what it was. It may have been a bed or couch, but it didn't feel like the floor that I was laying on when.... As soon as I remembered what happened I shot straight up accidentally headbutting someone that was leaning over me.

"Ow my head..." I grunted as I closed my eyes as they were bombarded by the bright lights around me.

"Thank you nurse." A old grumbling voice said to my left.

"Of course doctor." A female voice said to my right.

I opened my eyes only to realize I was in a hospital room right out of the apocalypse.

"Where the hell?" I started as I looked around only to look a gruff looking old man who was wearing a torn lab coat in the eyes nearly scaring the crap out of me.

"Are you and who am I?" He said as he raised his eyebrow. "Is what I presume you were going to ask?"

"Uh yeah..." I said as I sat up and rubbed my forehead.

"Headache?" He asked.

"Am I..." I started.

"Dead? No you aren't you are simply..... well I will let him explain." He said as he walked towards a door and motioned for me to follow.

"What is this place?" I asked as we started walking down halls with rooms on both sides filled with shadows and muttering. Then in one of the rooms an earsplitting scream was let out the stopped like someone pressed pause on a tape.

"This place goes by many names, but you can call it the 'Institute'." He said as we turned a corner.

I didn't say anything because every question I was going to ask disappeared as soon as I saw 'it'.

"Well the man who will answer your questions is inside there." He said pointing to a door as he then walked behind me and disappeared.

I stood there motionless. The door wasn't like anything I have ever seen. It was made of... human hearts. All of the anatomy classes I was forced to sit through awake by my sister were finally paying off. I tried to turn around and walk away before the door opened and my legs started moving towards the door of flesh then in a flash I was surrounded by darkness.

"I swear if I had a dollar for every time.." I began before I was interrupted.

"I know right." A deep voice chuckled behind me causing me to do a complete 180.

"Who's there and please be straight I've had bad experiences with people behind me." I said as I prepared myself for anything.

"Oh I saw that particularly nasty piece of work. Come here kid." A gruff old man with gray hair as he flipped a lighter to light a cigar.

I agreed and slowly walked over and sat down in an empty chair in front of his 'throne'. "So who are you?" I asked again.

"I'm surprised you don't remember me, but then again I did die when you were pretty young." He said as he blew out some smoke.

"Now that you do mention it... I still have no idea who you are." I said as I put my head into my hands.

"Well we did never really meet officially grandson." The old man said with a smile.

"What do you mean 'grandson' my grandfather died years ago." I said as I leaned in closer.

"The name's Jackie. Jackie Estacado." He replied.

"Holy... Shit it is you." I gasped as I tried to wrap my head around what was happening.

"Anyway kid I know you have questions, but I will have to answer those another day we have an important conversation to have." Jackie said as he snapped his fingers causing the whole room to turn black.

"Finally some one on one action." A deep raspy voice said as two sets of orange eyes appeared to the sides of Jackie and sharp white teeth followed.

"Indeed it has been a couple days, but still the time has finally come for him to realize his purpose." A high pitched evil voice said.

"What the hell is happening?!" I said as I started getting cold.

"Time for a history lesson and it's gonna be a long one." Jackie said as light slowly started returning showing the two dark entities that were flowing around him. "Don't be scared. So let's start this tale. In the beginning of time there was chaos, evil, disorder and darkness. The evils of the universe one day were slammed together and created a being that withheld these in itself and it later became known as 'The Darkness'. Fast forward many many years to the dawn of man our ancestor Christian Estacado. He was introduced to it in a dream and had a contract forced upon him now each male in each generation of our family and it makes it's appearance on the eve of their 21st birthday. However, the darkness was forced to manifest itself early for you because of what happened at the school." He informed me.

"Wait what happened at the school?" I asked with adrenaline flowing through my veins.

"Someone who is allied with the opposing force against the darkness 'the Angelus' they attacked the school and you were forced to defend them. You will regain memories of what happened last year and you will be able to use the darkness, but not completely for another year when you turn 21. You can use it only in dire situations when you are not of age yet. The darkness has taken a liking to you since you are the first one in all of history to have awoken it early. Now you have some unfinished business to attend to back home." He said as he snapped his fingers and the door of hearts appeared next to me. "It was fun seeing you again boy have fun dealing with your friends back home especially that Twilight chick." Jackie said as I walked through the door after waving goodbye.

----Reality----

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed as I jumped back to life feeling the sharp pain in my head.

*Clink* something hit the ground. I looked over to see the gun lying next to me. Then I looked over on the wall to my left only to see something that would be of great help. Some redneck decided to save money put a video trail camera on a lamp post that was in his yard.

Excellent. I thought to myself as I walked over and popped out the sd card and put it into my phone.


14 missed calls from 'Sis' yesterday,


"Well guess it's time to pay Twilight a visit." I said as I picked up the gun and began walking as the sun went down to Twilight's house for a fun little visit.

----Forty Minutes later/ 7:38 P.M. Twilight's House----

*Knock Knock* I knocked on the door praying to not hear a response. Nothing. I start looking around trying to find a spare key somewhere.

"Where are ya you little-." I began before I found it under a fake rock. "Hehehehehe." I started laughing with my usual dark and creepy laugh. "Guess I'll let myself in." I whispered as I walked in and locked the door behind me.

"Well I guess I have a couple minutes til she gets home." I said as I started looking around trying to hook my phone up to her TV. I thankfully found a hook up port and cord along with a remote. "I swear Twilight it's like you wanted me to set this up!" I joyfully laughed as I set everything up in order to have a friendly chat with her. After a couple minutes it was connected and worked. I then decided to hide in her living room closet which was surprisingly spacious and allowed me to look out into the living room through a small gap in the door.

*Click* the front door opened followed by giggling.

"So Twi what was it ya wanted to talk to us about?" A country girl asked.

"Well it's kinda uneasy to hear." Twilight said as her and four other girls walked into the living room.

Perfect. I thought to myself as I got ready.

"Well come on egg head it's almost time for that horror movie to come on!" Rainbow Dash said eagerly.

I then took that opportunity, with a sinister grin on my face, I clicked the play button and watched as Twilight and the others watched her gun me down in the alley. I then noticed that there was a mirror next to me and I had just enough light to see that my face was still covered in blood and the bullet hole was there as well and so was..... my smile. It wasn't the smile of someone that was having a great time it was the smile of someone who was about to get revenge.

"Twilight what was that?" Fluttershy asked in a scared tone in her voice.

"Look girls I was going to tell you tha-." Twilight began.

"That she gunned me down out of revenge." I said as I stepped out of the closet with a sinister smirk on my face.

"What is going on here!!!" Rarity screamed in horror as she saw my face covered in blood.

"Isn't it obvious love this is a precious game called 'revenge'. I said as I then turned my attention to her.

"What do you want Skull Punk!?" Twilight asked in anger.

"What I want is for you to shut up, sit down, and listen." I said as I pulled out the gun she shot me with and pointed it at her head.

The girls all gasped in unison and quietly and quickly sat down as fear began to fill their eyes.

"Good. Now that I have your attention let's get started shall we?" I said as I turned on a lamp that was next to me.
