Rise of the Darkness

" Beware the darkness that soon will rise." Calla heard his voice again. The strange man.

" Daddy…. " Baby Calla called Xavier.

"The time will tell you and teach you everything about your future soon." She heard the strange man again.

"Daddy where are you?" Baby Calla again called Xavier.

Calla was looking around for Xavier, she never had seen her father, but Xavier fulfilled that part in her life. She has called him daddy since the beginning. She remembered that time, she was 6 and they were playing hide and seek. She looked everywhere but didn't find him. She called his name again in fear but no response. She sat down at the corner of the room, hugged her knees and sobbed hard. She was calling her daddy between her sobs and hiccups. But he didn't reply. Suddenly the door opened and she covered her face with her palms. The boots stopped somewhere in front of her and there was a thump as whoever it was settled down, their breath warming her hands. Whoever it was grabbed her wrists and his hands were massive, they made her shiver in fear.

They removed her palms from her face. She shut her eyes tightly, a loud sob escaped her lips when that huge figure held both of her wrists in one hand and with the second they pinched her chin softly. She didn't open her eyes, not until they kissed her lips lovingly. She opened her eyes and looked at the strange man sitting. A smirk plastered on his lips he again came close to her and kissed her, this time she kissed him back. He licked her lower lip, asking for entrance. She didn't protest. Parting her lips, she let him in. His tongue slid into her mouth, tasting every single corner of her mouth. She was almost out of breath when he released her. Breathing heavily, she looked at her reflection on the shining marble floor. She wasn't a baby anymore. She was back in her old age.

He held both of her wrists above her head and leaned down until his lips reached to the nape of her neck. He bit her weak spot lightly and she moaned out loud. He kept kissing and nibbling her neck until she gave up and stopped resisting him. He let go of her wrists and pulled her in his lap. He trailed wet kisses from her jawline and ended up at her chest. She was holding his shoulders tightly. In a flash he stripped off her shirt. She closed her eyes as he reached to her pulse, but instead of kissing he spoke, in a deep voice. "Beware the darkness that soon will rise."

As he said it, darkness enveloped her again and then she was standing on a highway. She looked here and there then the reality hit her hard. She was at the same highway where her daddy and her step sister died in a car accident. She clapped both of her hands on her mouth to block her sobs. It was the most horrible night of her life. She lost her family that night. She was sleeping in her bedroom with Sophie when her phone rang in the middle of the night. She got up and went out of her room, she didn't want to disturb her niece in her sleep. Sidney was in the guest room as her apartment was under the renovations. She picked up the call and spoke in her half sleepy voice.

"Hello." Calla greeted.

"Are you Miss Calla Davis?" She heard a woman's voice.

Thank God, Sidney's driver was there too. She told her driver to take Calla to the location, was sent to her by officer Kelly. He nodded and took her there as fast as he could. An hour later they were on the highway. Officer Kelly came to Calla and gave her a piece of paper, something was written on it. Tears pooled out of her eyes when she realized that Mara used her blood to write her that letter. She opened it and

She stepped into the shower, washed her body then got out. She wore her skinny jeans and t-shirt and paired them up with boots and went downstairs to prepare breakfast. She went back to her room. Sophie was already awake. She helped Sophie in the bath. Then she made Sophie wear a cute pink knee length puffy dress and they went downstairs to have their breakfast. After breakfast, she dropped Sophie to her school and came to work. She entered her office and sat on her chair. Suddenly,
