It was just a little after sundown, when Garda stirred.
At first, it felt like a small itch. An annoyance that just won't go away. And then, out of the darkness, a tiny light appeared and she heard a voice calling her.
Ga...up..
'Who..?'
Wake up..!
'Who is it..? And why did the voice sound so familiar..?'
Garda!
'Lord..Muzaka..?!' There's no mistaking it! That was her Master's voice!
Garda tried to reach for the light, but no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't seem to be able to get any closer. All of a sudden, she felt as if someone was pulling her down.
And she fell into darkness...
"Lord Muzaka..?" Garda gasped, as she finally gained consciousness. And as her eyes got adjusted to the bright light, she took in her surrounding. The first thing she noticed was that she was in a lab. An unfamiliar and very clean lab. There were so many different equipment in it that it was obvious that whoever uses it is a scientist. On top of that, there were different tubes and needles connected to her. So whoever the scientist is, he's the one keeping her in the lab.
'And I'm alone..'
Garda felt tears gather in her eyes as the realization struck her. 'Muzaka is not here.. He's not here..'
Her eyes closed and she grit her teeth as flashbacks of the horrible experiments and the smiling face of Muzaka entered her mind. Garda's hands clenched as she tried to push the images out of her head, when she remembered their fight. The pain she felt. How Muzaka kept defending instead of attacking.
His eyes...
"...no..." Garda muttered quietly as she shook her head.
His words...
"...no...stop..."
"I'm sorry for making you like this"
"NOOO!" A scream tore through her as she clutched her head in pain
