Part One: Normal
There was only me
But now there are two
But which side will I show
To them?
So I am evil
But
What does that make them?
Things are the same
Haven't they always been....
The novel written by John Ajvide Lindqvist
There was only me
But now there are two

To them?
So I am evil
But
What does that make them?
Things are the same
Haven't they always been....
The town is the same. No history, old buildings whose foundations are rotting. For a while there was commotion. Talks of the Ritual Killer, vampires, wolves, and ghosts. Kids were terrorize so the local school was closed for a few days. The kids said that they were afraid of going to the school. Afraid that they would be shredder to pieces by the Angel of death. Many of the kids that were there that night when the massacre took place swore that they would never go inside that pool.
Living the light
Can't stand the light
Can't live in it no more
Don't you see?
It's better to live
In Darkness
From "Living in Darkness," Page 12-13.
I had been in the city bar with my bestie Veronica. It had started well, with us laughing though the laud music. Me getting some drinks by a strange guy, Vero got crazy jealous and stole the drink from me, and drank it. She knows she can do these kind of things to me, I am too nice, I don’t mind. That guy who gave the drink to me, telling me I was beautiful in my bright red sweater, was so drunk he soon was missing. I imagined he would stay a little longer, so I could get more drinks, and pretend I was interested. While Vero would give me those sneaky glares, she knew I was tricking him.

It's hard starting a new school, but I have to. More harder is going to a new country, more harder still is living in a new place, more harder still is though feeling alone, always feeling alone, because that's how I always felt....

Prologue:
What if I had not said those words? What if I had not scream:
"You can come in!"
All I wanted was for things to end. I didn't even know what they were planning. So I am innocent. I didn't know, I didn't know.

I didn't mean it. It was all just for fun. If I had known what they were going to do, I would have said something. Things would be different. Maybe the three of them would still be alive.
Prologue:
The pool
The swimming pool, the water inside is tranquil. The kids are not inside the pool. The pool is clean, ready for when the school days open....
The white tiles are all shinning. The broken glass has been replaced. The locker rooms are empty, the showers are all clean. The sun shines on the building, the light comes from the ceiling, hitting the water. How bright it is!
