My Darkness

Pull the wool over my eyes

Fool me time and time again

I want to believe every hellish lie

I want to commit every single sin

Yes baptize me in holy water

Clean my dirty soul

Sadly my mind will always falter

As my body grows tired and cold

Save me from damnation

And damn me to hell

Since the dawn of my creation

I was destined to fail

Brian Morningside

Brian walked away from the nightwalkers with a grin on his face and the beauty of Betty etched in his mind.  For so long he heard rumours about daywalkers and nightwalkers.  Two different species with opposing strengths and weaknessess.  They had battled each other throughout centuries and finally came to co-exist until now.  Somewhere along the line someone broke the rules and a daywalker had children with a nightwalker.  The end result is a montage of power and weakness buried in the young generation of day and night walkers.  Brian was pleased to know that he was truly a nightwalker.  He had their powers and could stand against him.

Brian felt his heart swell with pride and sadness.  It seemed that miss Betty was a daywalker or possibly half.  He had seen some daywalkers who could stand the blaze of the sun and yet are able to control the minds of others and hears noises that are not audible to most.  Brian noticed the change when he was about six years old.  He was out in the sun playing with his friends as he always did when the sun began to burn his skin.  He ran into the house practically on fire screaming to his parents.  They quickly doused him in water and called the doctor.  They said he was allergic to sun.  His parents kept him in the dark after that.  Brian always knew that they secretly feared him because they thought he was a nightwalker.

It was when Brian turned sixteen that the truth came out.

"Son we need to talk.  You're mother and I feel it's time for you to leave this house and go find out who you really are.  We know that we are both daywalkers and it's hard to raise a son who might be a nightwalker.  We aren't even sure if you're our son at all.  There could've been a mix up at the hospital.  Either way you should be on your way now son."

Brian just stared right through his father as a tear streamed down his face.  Brian turned gathered his things and left.  On his travels he came across and abandoned building where he ran into other daywalkers that had nightwalker powers.  They had been trying for sometime to get answers from the nightwalkers but with little success.  Most of the daywalkers were scared because their powers were not as strong as an elder nightwalker and they were always turned away with no answers.  Brian decided to take the lead and head into nightwalker territory to test his strength and he was successful.

"Hey so how'd the meeting go with the nightwalkers?"

"Hmph.  They tried to turn me away but it seems that their powers are not as strong as mine." Brian said letting out a little chuckle.

"Dude, you must be a pure nightwalker then."

"That's where you're wrong Michael.  I am The Nightwalker and no one will be able to stop me.  We shall have our time.  You guys won't have to hide anymore.  It's time to shake things up a bit."
