Author's Note - Hi! This is the first chapter to my first story on this website. Its a work-in-progress but if I get some positive feedback, I'd be motivated to continue writing the story, as there is already a plot in mind. Thank you for reading :D
Rin
Rin opened his eyes to a muted darkness surrounding him, a dim light was lazily shining thru the cracks of curtains covering the window next to his bedside. He slowly sat up from his sleeping position, the cover slid down and rested at his waist. Rin's hands moved from under the sheets and found their way to his lap. He looked down at them and tried to focus his eyes in the darkness. His vision was blurry but he could make out two pale forms resting on his thighs. He gazed around the room for a clock but he couldn't see anything in the lowly lit room. Rin opted instead to slide to the edge of his bed and stand up.
When his feet met the floor he pulled them back, surprised by the coldness of the tile. He looked down and saw a pair of slippers a little farther off. He scooted over and put them on. Rin walked over to the curtains and peered thru the gap in between. The sun was barely visible over the city's horizon as only a tiny sliver of the bright star was showing. It was morning in Demacia but why did everything feel so unfamiliar? Rin's movements were sluggish and heavy, as if he was drugged or having a terrible hangover. It was then he noticed the dim exit sign above the entrance to his room and the almost inaudible beeping of a heart monitor. He looked down at his arm and saw a needle stuck into his forearm and a sensor stuck right next to it. He followed the tubes straight to an IV drip and a screen displaying his vital signs. This isn't my room he thought. Rin pulled out the needle and ripped off the sensor. A monotone, continuous beep filled the air, loud enough only to be heard if you were completely silent.
Rin moved his legs one step at a time towards the door. One footfall after another, he slowly made his way to the entrance. As he reached the door and his hand extended towards the knob, the door swung open. The bright shine of the light runes in the hallway filled his vision and blinded him, making him stumble back. Hands grabbed his arms and pulled him back into the darkness of the room, Rin extended his arm towards the light of the entrance. Everything was in slow motion for him, it was almost like a movie. As he was laid back onto the bed, he felt a heat next to his heart and a calming numbness spreading throughout his body. Rin thought, where am I? Why am I here? As if his subconscious could hear what he was saying, memories of the night before flashed into his mind. There was red on his hands and on the knife he was holding in his hands. He looked up and saw the shocked faces of his roommates as they ran towards him. They were mumbling something about help and about everything being ok. As his mind began to fade to black and back into sleep, he remembered the reason he was there. Rin thought, "Oh yeah, I tried to kill myself."
