Awakened In Darkness.

I opened my eyes, staring at blackness, somewhat lethargic from the sleeping pills. "Rey. Reylene?" A familiar voice whispered. "Quinton? Are you here?" I called, digging my fingers into my mattress. I felt the bed sink, someone else's weight. A hand gently touched my cheek. "Right here." "Where are we?" "Home. Rey something happened. The sun is gone." Shock flowed through me. "It's so cold in here." I said. I felt his body move closer, his arms around me. "How long was I out?" "Two days Rey. You overdosed those meds."
I struggled getting a grip on this new, dark reality. "Where is everyone?" "Some dead, others fled." "Where did the sun go?" "It just, disappeared. The world just went black. Everything is dying."
We would too. I felt a chill down my spine. Clumsily, I felt my way around , walking into the walls of my room, tumbling onto the cool rough carpet. "You good?" He asked. "Yeah." "Where do we go? What do we do?" "Stay put for a bit. Make a plan..." He trailed off. "Why didn't you go with your mum?" "I couldn't leave you." "No, my family could care less Quinton. You should've gone." He let out a sigh. "Man, I'm starving. Help me find the door." I grumbled. Slowly, Quinton crawled across the carpet, finding my side. "Okay, this is your desk," he said running his hand over the smooth wood. "So the door is right about.. Gotcha!" I heard him twist the knob. He crawled out first, I heard him fiddle with something. He flicked on a light. An electric lantern. "You couldn't have brought that in?" "Saving precious batteries sweet heart." He said. I laughed, staring at his massive pupils, hardly any blue showing. "Come on, I'll feed you." He said, taking my hand leading me to the kitchen, thousands of thoughts and questions floated through my head.
Did this make us a dead planet? Would there ever be life again?

I'm 15. I love creative writing. I've read fantasy all my life, fascinated and in love with the new characters and worlds I've explored. I'm a total nerd, and english is by far my favorite class in school. I get kind of depressed sometimes, so I write it out. I just love it. Throwing on music and getting lost in my stories, worlds, creations... Ooh, and I follow back! Please leave comments, I love to hear what you think, & your ideas:) hope you enjoy my dark little worlds and characters..
