AN: Hey! Sorry, I've been in a weird headspace as of the past few months. Because I absolutely feel like death, here's the first chapter (prologue) of a new phinfei fic, hopefully sometime soon I'll update Untold Feelings :) I really hope you all would like this fic. This is highly similar / referencing to my old knb fanfiction called "Zero Communication" which can be read on fanfiction dot net. Enjoy!
Prologue (Feitan's Perspective)
It was a rather strange feeling, I do not remember what had happened—I cannot remember any visual memory of the past, but I do remember the sound of falling buildings, the scent of burning wood and flesh, the sound of screaming (but I cannot remember whose voice it belonged to), the feeling of warmth on my skin—the feeling of warm liquid dripping from me—I presume it was blood the way it slowly stick and the way it dried into flakes but I cannot remember if it were my blood or someone else's or how it came to that situation. I can remember how it all felt—my senses felt alive and yet my eyes fail to recognize and my brain malfunctions. I cannot exactly remember what happened.
But... I do, however, remember hearing voices—no, it was not screams—it was soft grievances. Who died? Who was it that cried? I doubt it was me. I have seen far too many deaths, I know and I remember who I am. I am Feitan, Number Two of the Spiders belonging to the infamous Phantom Troupe, and highly experienced in the field of torture. I was a murderer therefore such circumstances could not make me cry over the dead.
Shit. I curse inwardly, why does my visual memory fail when I need it the most?
The moment I open my eyes, all I see is a world shrouded in multiple grey hues. I wonder if I had gone color blind. The moment I open my eyes, every sense I had failed and all I could comprehend were images. Words failed sound, ears failed to hear, I could not smell anything—not even the scent of rotten eggs which I abhor—and most especially, I could not feel. My skin went numb.
A/N: I hope it's sorta decent ksdjhgfhdjs but let me know even if it's not sdhdjsk
