[A/N This is just a prologue, it just introduces what will happen and what happens in the next chapter and that chapter takes of around just a little bit before this ends. Kinda short but… Don't worry, it gets better. =)]

Rinoa Heartilly stared at the things around her, not really seeing them but instead focusing on something that she couldn't see...

She was looking at someone else... But yet wasn't.

It was hard to explain what she was feeling.

It was like every second she forgot what she was doing the second before and then she remembered, then forgot, then remembered. But each time she remembered, she wished she didn't.

She didn't want to see those cold empty black eyes again. The ones that were looking at her and seemed to pull in her strength, pull in her spirit, pull in her very soul and power.

Every time she saw them she felt weaker, yet she couldn't pull herself away from it all.

She was stuck; her eyes were staying on the stranger. She couldn't move. She felt paralyzed. She wanted to be free.

She tried to turn, but then her world began to spin, she was lost in the eyes, she was stuck in the darkness of it all.

She yelled, or tried to, but she couldn't. Her voice just seemed to disappear

She closed her eyes; she didn't want to open them again.

Then out of nowhere...she just seemed to fall, down, farther and farther... she kept falling. It didn't seem to end, she could see she was going farther and farther from reality.

As she kept falling, the stranger laughed... she felt good, she felt powerful. And as Rinoa was trying to get away, she was trying to get closer to her...

Rinoa's friends crowded around her, and the stranger stopped. She let Rinoa go, for there would be a better time for this. Her eyes left Rinoa's and she let the nightmare begin.
