Last day of the Halloween special, since the last one was short this one is longer. Its the start of the rewrite of a story I did before, really its just the parts of the previous story I want to keep. If you want to read more say so in the comments and I'll do so once Purple Moon is done.

There once was a village that was well established and untroubled by the
issues of its country when a girl was born. The girl was like many other kids
in the village, she ran around playing games and learning from others. But
unlike other kids she had the potential to become a powerful light user and it
had been decided that she would become the next village protector.
When she was old enough to speak clearly and walk
properly her village burned down and the girl was the sole survivor of it all.
Government scientists passing through the area found her covered in soot and
minor burns, sitting in the charred remains of her home. They took her to the
secret lab that they worked at and she became a part of their experiments in
magic.
They were not planning to pick up more kids when they
found her so, despite her potential in light magic; they suck her in the dark
class which was always in need of more orphans. The dark class experiments were
harsh and kids died easily. New kids were brought in often and old ones
disappeared just as frequently. No one made friends so the kids retreated into
themselves. The girl was no exception. By her third month there the girl had
forgotten her own name.
A couple months after the girl could no longer remember
her own name, the scientists found rare sample of Darkness. It ate all light
and killed any light class kid immediately. When they decided to try it on a
Dark Class kid they picked the girl. To the girl it was like any other
experiment: done in a white room on a table with straps in case they were
needed with equipment and scientists. It wasn’t until they injected the girl
with a piece of the sample, that things started to go wrong.
Pain tore through her system in pulses until it synced
with her heartbeat. Her vision blurred and the girl screamed. The sound of
cracking filled her ears, which was the sound of her identity breaking. Her
vitals stopped and her vision went black. That is when the girl came to visit
me. I found her interesting since she survived an injection of my power.
Lost in the darkness she didn't cry or call out for help. So I offered her the power that she had already been tainted with. She had been broken and didn't fully understand but she accepted anyway. She could never go back to who she was before but I helped her build an identity and once she could fully comprehend what I was offering, I told her the rule that all those under my care live by: consume or be consumed.
Even knowing that she would be consumed one day she still accepted my offering. I told her the way back and she left. She is older now and remains unconsumed. But when she comes again I so believe it will be the last time.
