AN: Well, here it is, folks. THe sequel to Wondrous. Now, if you haven't read that, you're probably going to be quite confused. Actually, after this chapter, you're probably going to be quite confused, anyway. Let me explain something: This chapter actually takes place, chronologically-speaking, at the end of Cataclysmic. Got that? Good. Now, let's get started...
Disclaimer: I do not in anyway own TRC...
Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum.
This noise….it is the one constant you can recall, for as long as you have been able to do so. When you first became aware of it, it seemed to tell you one thing, over and over again.
I am. I am. I am.
Not that you knew what those words, that phrase, meant. All that it was, to you, was a constant, a comfort in the darkness that surrounded you.
Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum.
Not long after you realized it, (and yet, it may have been an eternity-you do not know time, nor any of its concepts. These things are without meaning to you.), the phrase seemed to change.
Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum.
We are. We are. We are.
Not that you know, either, what this means. No more than you know what noise or quiet is, or hot, or cold, or even what light is. You know darkness, know that without words, because it is all around you. And yet, you do not, because words are without meaning, for you. But you know that they are different, without the knowledge of how, or why. You simply know that they are. And through them, that you are, as well.
Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum Ba-dum Ba-dum Ba-dum.
It's faster, now. More hurried.
Something is wrong. It shouldn't be like that. It should be calmer, more soothing. You push away at the darkness, attempting to find a way out, a way to make that beat return to its previous rhythm.
Ba-dumBa-dumBa-dumBa-dumBa-dumBa-dum…
It only gets faster still.
Badumbadumbadumbadum…
The phrase changes again.
Youareyouareyouareyouare…
Something happens.
It slows again.
But something is still wrong.
The darkness is beginning to vanish.
Ba-dum…Ba-dum…Ba-dum…
The phrase remains the same.
You are…You are…You are…
Ba-dum.
Ba-dum.
You are.
You are.
Y-
Something has been lost.
Anybody figure that out? :P Leave me review, and let me know, please!
