It was a warm summer afternoon, and Melody had to make her way home from school that had ended for the season. Melody walked farther and farther away from the flowery field, but it seemed almost endless. She kept walking in one direction, but it only opened up to more and more of it. Her feet came to a sudden stop, and she knew that this was the way she always had taken. Weird things have started to happen. Like the fact that her homework and work seemed to be from a higher education, and all her peers were changing rapidly like herself. It may be her mind, but there must have been someone behind this.
She should've been out with a group of people rather than herself. Yet they had all abandoned her, talking about their summers and how they were to spend them. Thinking of it reminded her of something. What would she do? Sit back and play Metal Gear Solid 2 all summer? Sometimes she would think about it so much she would lose herself. How easy the game was. Probably anyone could've fought like the main character did. She laughed out loud, but soon, her happiness faded...
Melody sunk to her knees. Why was this happening? A tiny bee stung her instantly, and she winced in pain. Hopefully, it hadn't been her first encounter with one. Would she ever get home? Questions numbed her head from thought. No one would help out there. She felt something forming underneath her forming. Her hair whiped around her with the gusts of wind, and a maelstorm of bright light. Was she seeing things? It sertainly hadn't happened before. She felt herself being swallowed up, and she didn't know what was really happening. A dizziness filled her head. She closed her eyes miserably wanting it to end. After a few seconds or so, she heard a song in the distance. It seemed to soft, but yet sad. Soon it was fading, and when it ended she blacked out.

She opened her eyes, and her backgrounds were very different. It was some kind of prisoner's cell. There were no windows, so therefore it was dark. Also she noticed that it was rocking, so she had some ideas. The gate was locked, of course, but she knew there was another way out. No guard was patrolling, but there was a feeling in her that made her think that there might be. Desperately, she got off her ramshackle bed carefully. The dizziness had left her though. Her eyes scanned the walls carefully, and she could hear some gunfire coming from somewhere. There had seemed to be a loose place in the wall, so she pulled it out only to find more. After about 15 minutes of struggling through it with her hands, she made a gap big enough for her to crawl into. Lowering herself into it, she made her way out of the cell, and into the unknown location.
It had seemed like a few minutes through the suffocating spaces, but Melody had managed to get out of it. She needed time to catch her breath. A guard patroling had flashed the flashlight near her foot, but she crouched and hid in a tight corner. After a while, he went away. She closed her eyes and breathed a slow sigh of relief. Suddenly, she heard a voice unlike any other previous.
"Freeze!"it whispered harsh.
Melody quickly kept a still body and her hands above her head. Her thought that the voice was heard before from somewhere."What are you doing here?"
Before she could yap on about what she knew, which wasn't much, she felt a weird feeling. Something rang. She realized that it was the codec!
"Well?"the man struck at her.
"I don't really know..."Melody replied lowly and started to stare at the ground.
"How did you get here?"
"I came from a vent near here. It lead to a cell. I quickly saw someone coming so I hid near this corner. And now, I find you."
"What are you exactly doing here?"
She felt him sigh when she didn't say anything.
"I don't exactly remember,"Come to think of it, she didn't. She had forgotten almost everything she had to know. Except for one thing she had to expect was true."Oh, and..."
"Yes?"
"Are you Solid Snake?"
"That's what most call me... Look, I've got things to do, people to see, so you better not slow me down."
Snake had dropped the chat and grabbed her hand suddenly to make a run for it. She didn't know exactly what she was getting into, but she knew it shouldn't be getting any better.
