The Darklings 081205 - Vidia

The Darkling slowly stood up. Her smile was jolly. Dusk stopped screaming and slowly started to speak. The first thing she said was, "You're a darkling." The darkling nodded yes. Dusk asked the darkling her name. But the darkling was already pulling her to a more bushy area.

Then she answered, "My name is Ebonee. What is your name?" Dusk told Ebonee her name then said, "I thought Darklings were mean." "Oh no, we're not all mean," replied Ebonee. Most of us are nice. Do you like worms?" "Yes," Dusk answered. So Ebonee put her hand in the ground and dug up some worms for them to eat.

Dusk thought that was pretty cool, but did not speak. Ebonee said she learned it from the other Darklings. "There are other darklings here?" said Dusk. "Many, many more," said Ebonee. "Would you like to meet them?" "All right," said Dusk with fear in her voice. "I'm right behind you."
