When Darkness Meets Darkness

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

At thirteen, she believed her recurring dream was a promise of death. Every time the faceless stranger lifted her into the clouds, she prayed it meant an end to her suffering on earth. Instead, she survived—and the dreams transformed into a quiet obsession. A single, ancient name took root in her mind: Oreithyia. Without knowing where it came from or what it meant, she claimed it as her own, wondering if she was slowly losing her sanity. Desperate for a fresh start, she enters a new school to escape her past. But her sanctuary shatters the moment she crosses paths with a dangerous stranger. He isn't a savior from her dreams—he is the darkness she never saw coming.

Changing my pen name made me feel something I haven’t felt in a long time.

For centuries, there had been this quiet voice in me telling me to change it. I heard it, but I ignored it because I didn’t know what I wanted to change it to.

Then, suddenly, the voice grew louder.

An idea came to me.

It was simple.

And this soul of mine doesn’t do simple.

So I pushed the idea aside, thinking that maybe, when my mind finally became quiet, my soul would speak for itself.

Tonight, I sat quietly.

And then I heard it.

She Writes Darkness.

That was it.

I started crying.

Not because I was sad. Not exactly because I was happy either.

The tears just came.

They felt like home.

Like an ocean I could step into and bathe in without having to explain why I was there.

And underneath all those tears, I felt this overwhelming happiness. This strange relief.

Like something inside me had finally settled.

Like I had been searching for a name without realizing I was searching for something that already belonged to me.

She Writes Darkness.

I don’t know how to explain what it did to me.

I just know that when I heard it, something in me said,

Yes.

And for the first time in a while, I didn’t question it.
