Darkness Arising

Not all villains are crooked , not all heroes are good hearted. In reality , who can be blamed , the monster wreaking havoc or the one who created the monster ? Everything is just a matter of perspective. 

Luis understood that better that anyone.

'Everything happens for a good reason' was his motto growing up , it gave him hope and strength in hard times. Such as when he watched his father gulped down bottles of beer and shivered out of fear that he would have an outburst and lash out at Luis , or when he had to move from town to town - changing schools , neighbourhoods but not friends though , most times he never stuck around in a place to make friends and if he did , he never bothered to. What was the point of having one knowing that he would have to abandon them at a point ? 

Back then he was just a thirteen year old , the idea of cellphones and contacting each other hadn't surfaced on his mind.

Something else surfaced in its place though  

Reading books.  

Luis had been reading books ever since he was twelve years old. Since he never stuck around in a place and made friends somehow made him into an introvert ,  not all introverts are book worms. Luis was one though. 

Stolen story; please report.

Books were his domain , a place he could jump to to escape the cruel fate reality had set in stone for him. He felt like the characters in there were the only individuals that truly understood him , some suffered hardships similar to his own which made him quite emotionally attached. 

But of course books come in genres. science fiction , fantasy and paranormal were his liking.

However , any book related to creepy pastas and such was enough to drive him mad. 

He always had been mad though , just not being angry. 

There was one thing Luis was sure of, he was different from the flock. Not in a good light , he was quite the perceptive person and compared people to the ones he read in his novels.

Most times he read the novels gave him quite the useful information , that was what he used to figure out the true nature of some people and the intention behind their actions  using them as a reference.

Most importantly, it was where he got the information about ghosts , spirits and angels. 

Angels , Spirits , Ghosts - they sounded more than gibberish to Luis , but he wasn't the type to be scornful of something unless he had seen it with his own two years or had enough solid proof that it wasn't as bad or good as it seemed. 

Not all heroes are good 

Not all villains are crooked 

Everything truly is just a matter of perspective , whether you're looking at it as the hero wanting to save the world , the villain wanting to save the world but taking a different path than the hero or even if you're looking at all of this as the innocent citizen who doesn't have a say in that. 

It is important to watch what you say or do , you could either be tagged a hero or villain just by that alone.
