Prologue

A/N So, this is my first fanfiction on this site, so I apologize if there are any errors with the chapters.

Anyway, on with the prologue

?'s POV

Growling, I pulled my knees closer to my chest, watching through the eyes of him, I could see all the fun he had. Ever since I came here, it's been the same thing every day, just watch him live his life while being tortured by his dark thoughts.

I'm sick of it! It's been at least three years, and I don't think I can take one more year like this. All these horrible thoughts he has about himself feels like knives being stabbed into my body, just without the blood and wounds, but the pain is all there.

During my first few months here, I blamed the first spinjitzu master for my existence, but now, after looking through his memories, I realized it was his fault. It was all his fault. He was the one with the horrible thoughts, he was the one who picked up the staff that created me, he was the reason I was here. He was the one giving me this pain, whether he knows it or not.

Growling once more, I placed my chin on my knees and continued staring at the window that showed me things through his eyes. It was not the worst life, after all, I could watch him live his life, it was better than being locked in this empty dark void without anything to do.

I snapped out of my thoughts when something caught my eye. Turning my head to the right, I saw a faint blazing red glow far away from where I was currently sitting.

Feeling curiosity take over, I got to my feet and started walking towards the light. But the closer I got, the further away it seemed to be, so I broke into a run. But the light was out of my reach the entire time, no matter how fast I ran.

After a while, I gave up and sunk to the floor, panting. But then I felt something wrapping itself around my wrists and ankles. Lifting my head, I saw that it was multiple dark purple tentacles of some sort, almost black in color. I tried to get out of their grip, but it was hard, and when I finally got one of my hands free, the tentacle grabbed it again. I tried to scream but another tentacle covered my mouth before I remembered there was no one to scream for.

I had been alone in here for as long as I could remember, why would someone suddenly appear now just because I screamed for them? The answer, they wouldn't. And even if they did, why would they help me? It's not like I ever did anything for them.

So, I shut my mouth and just accepted this, because whatever this was, it wouldn't stop anytime soon.

Or that's what I thought, until the tentacles started pulling me into the floor which suddenly was almost like a thick liquid. I felt fear overwhelm me and forgot all about why there was no use to do it since no one would hear and screamed at the top of my lungs.

I didn't want to die, even though my life sucked, I didn't want it to end. I never got to see him grow up. Even though I hated him, he was the only person I ever cared about, all the other people I saw through his eyes were nothing to me, but he was the only one I had ever known.

As I sunk into the floor, my scream faded away and a few tears clouded my vision as I disappeared into the black void and everything faded to darkness.
