For all of you who have read some of my other stories, you most likely know by now that I specialize in describing emotions, scenes and settings, along with darker emotions and sad pasts(Or tortured pasts, depends on the person).
I hope you enjoy my sick mind games, for this will just be another. *evil laugh then chokes on her hot chocolate*

The darkness swallowed me, the silence was consuming me, and the pressure on my chest didn't give me an ounce of mercy. I couldn't speak, I couldn't breathe and I couldn't even twitch. The darkness was a never-ending force that was eating me whole and the sense of being abandoned gripped me whenever I let my guard down.
I couldn't remember why I felt this abandonment or betrayal, just the cold chill that touches me reminds me constantly, negative emotions swirling around this empty space.
There was no light, no love, and no peace. Within the time I spent in this darkness, the time that felt like eternity, I felt almost a crazed longing for such peaceful emotions. I fought wildly at what tied me down, but the relenting force never budged and seemed to taunt me silently at my weakness.
After a long rest, I subjected myself to enduring the torture, for whatever sick minded person caused me this pain, I wouldn't give them the satisfaction they want.
My head bowed and I closed my eyes and mind off the darkness, numbly waiting for whatever lay in my path. I ignored the pain, ignored the deathly silence and ignored every emotion that had been driving me crazy. As if I had any sanity to begin with…
The first sound in eternity alerted me, causing my eyes to flicker open to stare at the hovering light in front of me. The ball of light chimed and flew around my immobile body, my body that had been slowly devoured by the darkness. The darkness hissed in pain, rearing away from the ball of light. The hold on my arm loosened and with insane need, I flung my arm to the light, reaching and searching for its comfort.
The darkness growled in rage, digging its claws in what was left of my body and trying to drag me back in its hold. I screamed mutely, my voice unable to pronounce my fear and anguish. The ball of light chimed, floating over to my hand and seemed to judge me. Two words in silver shone from the darkness, "Yes" and "No".
I didn't understand… how could I? I thrashed in the hold of the darkness and stretched my arm without hesitating. I want to live!
YES
The ball of light was absorbed into my chest, repelling the darkness and covering my consumed body. Exhaustion took over and released me from my pain, from my fears and from the screaming darkness. The ball of light took a human form, his arms reaching to catch me. My eyes blurred and prevented me from seeing him, my ears hummed, preventing me from hearing him. But it was enough to have caught a glimpse of golden eyes.
OoO
Rain droplets splattered over my skin, soaking the measly robes I found myself in. My golden brown hair was darkened, clinging over my exposed flesh of my neck. Despite the cool rain drops, I felt warm. My vision slowly cleared, recovering enough for me to scan my surroundings.
Distorted images pulled together and I recognized I was surrounded by trees, the canopy of leaves slightly shielding me from the heavy rain. Everything was strangely tinted in a golden color, like enlightened by something otherworldly. I could hear the sound of twigs braking under the weight of passing deer, and hear the crawling of hundreds of ants, their legs like a soft buzz in my ears.
My body ached with familiar pain, pain afflicted by the darkness. I could not move, the signal from my brain was unable to breach the taunting pain. I lay on the damp dirt, listening through the vibrations of the earth. I did not struggle, for what worth was it? It would receive no results, my body was unresponsive.
My hearing honed into the sound of my heartbeat, the rhythm was unusually slow, but comforting in a way. Because the sound of my heartbeat meant that the darkness hadn't completely devoured me, hadn't stripped my life away from me. But I could sense something off inside my body, yet I couldn't decipher the cause or evidence.
I was brought back to attention by the call of a dog, feeling the vibrations of –her- paws on the earth, trotting through the forest, keen on discovering my unfamiliar scent. "Dia, girl? What's the problem?" I heard a gruff voice question the hound, gasping when the German Sheppard Dia sniffed my hand and licked my cheek. "By the gods!"
The officer, I presume, knelt at my side and tilted my head up, shining a flashlight into my eyes. Why did he have a flashlight? Is it not during the day? The more the distorted images pulled together, the more clearly I could see. I blinked slowly, letting out a tired sigh.
Was I finally free of the darkness?
I mentally snorted at the thought. None of us are free from the darkness, for it is everywhere that light exists. My body was almost too numb to feel the officer shake my shoulders urgently, hauling me up in his arms when I looked him in the eye, a sign I was aware and not in peril.
Dia barked at her master, from where she stood on all fours by his feet. I could feel the bounce in each step as he hurried me away. I felt no concern, I believe I am fairly lucky a officer found me instead of someone or something else.
"Stay with me, child. Stay with me!" Child? Was I a child? I could not remember, it did not feel important to know. He pulled out keys from his pockets, the chime of them clinging together as he unlocked his car and laid me in the back. Hurriedly rushing for the front seat and starting the engine. I allowed my tired eyes to fall shut, but could still see beyond my eyelids.
I felt relieved, I didn't want to face that darkness ever again. My breathing became almost nonexistent, though steady, unaffected by the serves of the car or the occasional bump in the road. Sleep grasped me, enfolding around me like a blanket.
And I knew the world no more.

Anyways, this will have a darker tone to it, not like my others had no underlying darkness to them, but still. Also, this will be following the Bleach anime, because I want it too. XD
