Dark Halo

Now, you were gone

and I felt so alone

you looked so peaceful

surrounded by flower petal

ready to go into the clouds

only to be pushed back into the ground

Please come back to me

Dark halos hang over your drooping head

showing lives that the new born always dread

Working hard is pain and life is nothing but that

Pain sugar-coated with love...

Yet they always forget the sugar for me

Chapter 1: Forget To Forget

I suddenly felt a jolt and woke up. "Where am I?" I asked out loud while groaning. There were tall walls surrounding me and the sky was a deadly nightly green. I stood up and leaned against the wall, breathing hard. I thought I was on my bed just a moment ago.

To my left, there was a sudden mechanical sound. I looked over and screamed a short lived scream that seemed to stay in the air even after I closed my mouth. There was a spider like creature starting at me. It was covered in slime and had mechanical legs. It roared and pointed it's tail at me. I immediately turned and started to run. I ran and ran not daring to stop or look back. I didn't need to anyway, for the sound of it's horrific mechanical legs clanked on behind me.

I turned a corner then fainted. The reason I fainted was because there were two more of the hideous creature around that corner. I didn't know at the time, but they stung me with their tails multiple times, but I was unaffected my their poison. They soon gave up and left my damaged body to lie there until someone found me the next day...

I felt myself being turned onto my side. My eyes fluttered open and I groaned in pain. "Next time could you be a little more gentle?" I grimaced, not remembering what had happened last night. I turned towards the person and I say an Asian boy with messy black hair and a worried expression. Then I remembered what had happened last night. I shuddered and wrapped my arms around my legs, rocking my body back and forth. "Hey," the boy said,"I don't know why you were in here but if you come with me, you can be safe from-" "From those spider robot things?" I interrupted, looking at him hopefully, not wanting to meet those things again.

"You saw one?"

I nodded as a reply.

"Their called Grievers. Come on, let's get out of here." He said slowly. He got up and pulled my arm up with him. I groaned and stood up, brushing off my jeans. I looked at my clothes. I was wearing a black V-neck shirt and dark blue jeans. To finish it off, I had tall brown combat boots.

"Can you run?" He asked.

"Yep,"

"Then come on!" He started running and I quickly caught up with him.

"My name's Minho, by the way." He said breathlessly. I nodded and replied by saying,"Mine is Sylviana." He gave me a surprised look but quickly turned a corner. I followed him. We ran for about half and hour before I saw a large doorway in front of us. He slowed down to a walk and I followed suit. He glanced at me nervously.

"Hey! Minho! Why are you back so early?" Some one called out. They caught sight of me and their mouth dropped open. Minho ignored this and asked,"Where's Alby?"

"He's in t-the-"

"Never mind, I see him. Come on, Sylviana."

I nervously followed him. People started staring at us in disbelief. Then I realized why. They were all boys. There were no girls in sight. I looked around and wriggled my fingers together nervously.

We approached a tall black man who was chopping at a tree.

"Alby, we've got a problem,"

"Minho?" he asked looking up at him, not noticing me peeking around Minho's back,"What is it?"

Minho pulled me up to Alby and said,"I found her in the maze. She remembered her name immediately and encountered a bunch of Grievers, but there's no trace of her being stung are hurt at all."

Alby's eyes grew wide and he said to me,"What do you remember about your past?"

"What do you mean? I can remember everything!" I said confused. They both looked at me and said loudly,"You remember everything?!" Some of the boys working near us looked up in surprise.

"Well, why wouldn't I remember everything?"
