The Darkness Within

Story by black ace on SoFurry

well hopefully this will be my first story i posted on here and up to the part where i go skydiving is all true and if anyone wants to be really nice they could edit it for me like change it and make it more exciting. Also not appropriate for ages under 18 blah blah blah etc. Oh and can you guys please give me as much criticism as possible so i can improve. now let the darkness overtake the dawn.

My family died today, tearing away the last remnants of my human soul and leaving behind an unbearing darkness impossible to overcome, but i lost my feelings for anything a long time ago.

It started only 1 year ago, i was 17 then and had a good life if you ignored my slowly dying alcohalic father that seemed to always be in pain and my miserable life in the hellhole they call a "high school" but i learned to overcome all that and give up most of my emotions thus giving up sorrow and in turn joy.

Another boring day, wake up, eat, go to school, lose more of yourself. Things started to seem so predictable to me, like it was all part of a pattern but only i could see it.

Sometimes id just wonder "is this really whats going to happen? am i going to just go to school, get a job, and die?" i just feel as if i should be doing something greater. I talked to a councelor and she seemed predictable too, all she said is "do something exciting like go skydiving" but it didnt appeal to me like that much of a thrill but i decided im gonna give it a try.

We are thousands of feet in the air and a lightning storm has started below us. I dont care, there telling me that nobody has ever done anything this dangerous and that theres an 80% chance that something bad will happen but i just ignore them, rip open the doors and jump into the thundering darkness.

The cold air is ripping away at my skin, causing any uncovered spot on my body to burn in pain lucky for me i decided to wear a black wifebeater and black jeans.

I can feel the electricity running on the tips of my jet black hair as i free fall through clouds ripping them apart at the speed i was going. My heart keeps beating faster, faster, faster, i feel as if its going to rip through my chest but instead pumps more addrenaline into my body making me thrive in a euphoric madness.

My parachute rips open tearing me back into the sky and slowing my descent. Theres lightning striking within 50 feet of me but at this point i fear nothing only the thrill below me.

The wind wont stop throwing me from side to side and just when i look up i see my parachute and the ground suddenly rush forward encasing me in the parachute and throwing me into a death spiral to meet the rocky cliff face below. I didnt panic, there was no need, panicking would do nothing for me now so i just closed my eyes and accepted the darkness about to embrace me.

I came crashing into the ground and lucky for me it was in the middle of a highway and i landed on a truck carrying sewer pipes which are about 6 inches in diameter. Of course my luck didnt end there, one pierced the center of my chest, one my arm ripping it off and another ripped off the right side of my face.

As i laid in the crator i had made thinking i was dead and just went to hell which would explain all the pain i felt, i decided to open my eyes only to realize i had survived. Before i could even think about what was going on a big metal pole sticking out of my chest is perfect for lightning to boom into my chest just ripping it apart.

Now that my body was smoking, half my clothes burned off and my chest was on fire i wondered why i wasnt dead. I had just fallen like 5 thousand feet out of the sky, had my internal organs peirced by a huge pole and hit by a 700 million volt lightning strike wtf.

Well i cant possibly harm myself anymore so i decide to get up. Ripping the pole out of the side of my chest and tearing away my severed arm i stand up and look around at the shocked and horrified expression on the people that have gathered around me.

Thats when i felt it, a surge of power greater than anything i have ever felt and dark flames that started to engulf my body licking away at my skin. My flesh that had torn away was replaced by pure darkness in the form of a black arm with scales, wings and of course a tail.

Now everyone was horrified by the sight before them, a half black dragon covered in blood and looking like he was going to kill. I didnt even notice them, i was too busy looking at my new muscular and dark body. Then with a twisted smile on my face i raised my wings high into the air and brought them down full force crushing the rest of the truck below me and sending everyone flying back.

The thrill of it all was incredible, being able to fly back through the clouds i had just fallen through except with speed greater than that of an F-150 jet racing to the target it was about to bomb and bring pure destruction. The only difference was i was only going to my school to show everyone my new look, but i knew what they were going to do, people fear what they do not understand and they certainly wouldnt understand me but thats alright i was ready for the war about to go underway.
