A/N: I was in the mood to do some writing and felt that another one shot might be worth the effort. I wanted to write something, but in a bout of writers block felt just compelled to get something written down. So I remembered an Idea that was mentioned once, I just want to say that I own nothing other than the computer I used to type it up.

The Chains of the Abyss

(A Pandora hearts and Worm One-shot)

It started not so different then any other day might, my father and I had our morning rituals, but there was always disconnect between us. We seldom spoke beyond what was required.

It wasn't always this way, back when mom was still alive my family felt real. Now the harsh reality of it all was simply that we drifted apart constantly, my dad was depressed still mourning his loss.

While that made sense it had been a few months almost four give or take a week.

During these months he left the house for work, and all the bonds he had formed had started to vanish soon enough the man truly became just a hollow shell of his former self.

I fell into neglect much like a toy long forgotten by a child, still there but lacking the life and vibrancy it once had.

We didn't joke, or talk much, the old traditions once celebrated now only became painful reminders of what was once had and what had now become lost to the world. The Heberts weren't exactly the most social of people before hand, but after the tragic loss of Anne Hebert they withdrew further from those around them.

I had the support of my childhood friend Emma Barnes to support me while I was mourning. I started getting better and so did dad even if it was slight.

He started to recover when Allen Barnes finally told him how he was neglecting the last person he still had. After that reality check he started to improve, not exactly leaps and bounds but, he was still getting better.

Then I went to nature camp one Summer, that fateful Summer before our first year of high school when Emma became distant. She had stopped coming over and hanging out.

She isolated herself for weeks at a time always looking over her shoulder for threats that I constantly failed to perceive.

I felt terrible loneliness, and then the bullying started shortly after she met the cruel and evil girl Sophia Hess. It started small at first somewhat tolerable, I kept reassuring myself that this would all stop soon enough, but as time went on it kept getting worse.

After almost a year of this harsh campaign, everything from stealing my homework, sabotaging my belongings, verbal insult after verbal insults coming down upon me like rain, it slowed down when it was finally getting closer to winter break.

I assumed they began to lose interest in tormenting me all together.

Then something unforgivable awful in pretty much every way possible. The locker incident happened.

After winter break had finally come and gone dread and anxiety once again filling the fibers of my being, I was paranoid and extremely distrusting of people at this point. It was early January I kept going through my day with any problems right up until I realized I forgot something in my locker.

I started to close in on it and as I got closer, the smell just got worse. I was gagging as I closed in much to my dismay to the source of the horrible aroma. The smell came within my locker and some people were actively trying to suppress grins, all of course with varying amounts of success. I opened it and I couldn't keep the bile down.

I threw up at the stench coming from my now Bio-hazard filled locker at the sight of blood and insect it overwhelmed me, I try to flee, but that's what she was waiting for. Sophia Hess shoved me into the metal tomb.

No one came for hours as I fell far longer then should have been possible my grey cramped prison quickly replaced by countless anomalies. I was in the Abyss.

I was in hell.

I ran as curious and hungry beasts of all manners of shape and size started to sprint towards the unwelcome visitor to the Abyss.

I kept running and crying begging for help until I ran into a young woman who promised to lead me out of here. I accepted the help and walked for what felt like several minutes until the Woman stopped and started to appear almost mad, that's when it attacked me.

I didn't know how to fight and even if I did it appeared much stronger than I was. I was chased through the abyss for an impossibly long time. I found someone this time using caution I was ready to run when she asked me a question.

"Do you know where you are?"

I responded in earnest with some hesitation in my response

"I . . . don't know." I said barely above a whisper, "Where am I?" I asked confusion still clear.

The Woman responded with "They call this place the Abyss, This is where the monsters called Chains reside."

She paused for a moment considering her words, then continued "It's extremely dangerous here, and unfortunately for you almost impossible to escape without help." she sighed as she finished explaining.

"Then I'm trapped here, I'll die here and no one will ever know."

I continued "I am trapped in a place surrounded by monsters, with no escape and . . . My dad is going to blame himself. He'll believe that it was all his fault and that I ran away or worse." I said with renewed sobs breaking free.

The Woman spoke interrupting this chain of thought, "Actually there is a way out, but it won't be easy." She paused once again as if letting the information sink in. Before continuing "If you sign this and call my name you can unlock my power and escape the abyss with my assistance."

The woman said that be careful and don't trust most of the creatures here, when suddenly I spotted my dad.

I don't know how he got here, but I wasn't alone in this strange place anymore.

He shouted get away from her, Taylor she's dangerous.

I ran like I was suddenly sitting on a lit fire, sprinting to the figure without any doubt, I felt I could trust my dad. He would keep me safe and any where you can get in has to have some way out.

After another twenty minutes of wandering around the figure revealed it's true form and bound me trapping me.

In that instance my savior appeared the woman who offered to help me get out of here. she broke my restraints and got me some distance before handing me the paper with a renewed sense of urgency.

I was desperate and scared So I signed it.

During my few moments of hesitation she fought the monster off and kept fighting until I called her name.

The name the Abyss had given her "Black Rabbit" she transformed and made short work of the shapeshifting chain and broke through the cursed Sky.

That is the story of how I became a Contractor and how I met the Black Rabbit.

Now free of the abyss and granted unique powers I now decided today I was going to become a hero.

Today things will change.

Today they will change for the better.

That is how Taylor Hebert came back from the dead three years later.

The End?
