Images flashed quickly in his head. Of men sprawled spread eagle over the concrete ground. Chunks of pink and red gore covering the brick walls staining their headbands. Their eye's a chalky lifeless gray staring up at him unblinking. He shook his head desperately trying to rid himself of the horrible images he was seeing.
"No" he yelled in his mind trying to convince himself it wasn't happening that he wasn't surrounded by his… he couldn't finish the thought he couldn't remember.
"Who am I? Where am I?" he mentally questioned himself as he squeezed his eyes shut trying to ignore the images of horror. His eyes shut tighter as it came to him. He was a hidden mist Shinobi tasked with guarding prisoners at a maximum - security facility. He racked his mind trying to remember more of his memories dangling in front of him like a cat toy being pulled out of his reach taunting him.
He knew he was in the prison. He paused in his thoughts and corrected himself "No It's not real". He knew now that the prison was a fake, an after math, visions of the torture he had endured.
Suddenly, his eyes popped open as he choked and gulped down the cold moldy air, the vision's slowly clearing from his eyes, and the wet rough black walls of the cave coming into focus, the sound of footsteps drawing ever closer, as his memories rushed back to him like a flood of icy cold water.
"That man", he and a group of other guards had been watching for years, had escaped. He…he had slaughtered his comrade's. The wounded Shinobi guard's hands flexed in anger against the ropes tightly tied around his wrists, his body in terrible pain.
They had been the lucky one's, he thought sadly, as he heard the footsteps stop, his heart now pounding in his ear's as he looked up at the man, the former prisoner, now his captor.
His Ghostly white, scar ridden albino skin, looking sickly in the glow of the candle's placed around the cave they both now currently occupied. His face half hidden under his dirty matted bangs, stained red with blood, a visible twisted grin of perverse pleasure coming to his lips.
As he started to speak the words that would be followed by screams of agony and horror that would echo through out the cave, bringing a cold chill down the backs of even the most harden Shinobi.
"Show me your fear".
