She stared at the phone a bit as it quieted down. Curiosity got the better of her, and she picked it up, not imagining it being anything good.
It was a series of texts, one after the other. “It’s time!” “Look out the window now!” “It’s so beautiful!”
Viktoria twitched. She couldn’t. She shouldn’t. She was trying to avoid this. She knew what was outside. She knew what this would lead to. She knew her friend meant well, but this didn’t help anything.
She thought it over long and hard, but eventually, she reached a conclusion. She took a deep breath and sighed. I can’t fight it. She looked at her arms, her hairs standing on end… and looking rather white now. I can’t flee. I can’t do anything.
Just have to face it and get it over with.
She tossed off the covers and slipped out of bed. She took another deep breath, trying her best to be as confident as possible, despite everything. She turned to the window and opened the blinds, looking up.
It was night out and absolutely beautiful. No clouds, no light pollution. The heavens were completely open, stars and moon open for all to see. It was picture perfect.
And tying it all together was the greatest of all sights. Above the area were the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, in all its glory. The soft, hypnotic lights danced through the night, shining a beautiful green, blue, purple, and even orange. Mere photographs didn’t do the sight justice, the colors and aura of it wild and almost unreal.
But these lights meant something else to Viktoria, something much, much more. She could feel the hairs on the back of her neck go up, her body starting to tremble.
She closed her eyes. “Here we go… bring it on.”
