Where the Heck Are We?

by Mariquita-Gatanegra

Lyra is an abused child. Caitlyn is a girl looking for reality. Worlds collide and they meet each other in a different world. Both have secrets, both have special powers, one freaks out over big things, the other freaks out over small things. But the real question is, where the heck are we? Written by me and Silvereyedfreak. Enjoy.

1. Chapter 1

"Hey retard! Get your ass over here and do your chores!" Lyra's parents shouted. Lyra limped painfully over to do the chores over for the second time that day. Her life hadn't always been like this; her parents and siblings used to love her. But Lyra's mind was wired in a different way. The only comfort she ever found was in the anime she would sneak and watch every now and then.

"We said get over here! Are you stupid?" Her parents shouted, and her father threw a vase at her skull. The projectile hit it's mark, and pieces of glass broke over her head, and lodged itself into her skin. 'It's nothing. I can deal with it.' She thought, but stopped when she started to cough up blood.

Then the cold reality hit her: 'I am going to die.' She thought, horrified. She felt the last bits of life leave her body, and she struggled to focus on her parents' abusive words. She coughed up a large amount of blood and black spots danced across her vision.

"Oh shit... Goodbye cruel world." She whispered, and blacked out.

When Lyra finally opened her eyes again, she found herself in a very white place with a very dark shadow thing sitting in from of her. "W-who are you?" Lyra trembled.

"I AM TRUTH!" The creature proclaimed, and extended its arm toward her. "Would you like to make a deal with me?" It asked. "Bargain for anything, but remember equivalent exchange." Truth almost seemed to smile cruelly.

Lyra took a second to think. 'Anything I want...' "I want to live a life away from my parents." She stated. "I can't live with the, amy more..." She added sadly. Truth smiled wider.

"I can let you a life free of your parents, but it comes with a price" It said.

"Anything to save me from the nightmare I'm in now." Lyra replied confidently.

"Done. I will be sure to pick up my price later..." The Truth trailed off, and a large door that Lyra hadn't noticed opened, revealing blackness. The blackness grew thousands of tiny arms, all of which latched into Lyra's body, and began to pull her into the void.'Here goes nothing.' She thought, and allowed herself to be pulled in.

With that, Lyra disappeared into the black, and Truth smiled, thinking of the perfect price to take.
