Key Bound

Ch 1 Submerged

I don't remember much about my old life. I ran the one event that I some what had a grasp on over and over. I sighed at the fact that even that

had holes. It's weird though this was suppose to be a punishment, and an end to freedom?

I remember fighting against someone who was the worst kind of scum. Cowardly, and a cheat. Although I can't fully remember why I have that

impression of him. Not that the guy that fought along with him was an improvement. He had a painful curse magic. It was metal that coiled

through your body until it hit a different object. I was covered in blood it tricked down my arm. The coil started at my hand, and ended only after it

came out of my shoulder. It spiraled one coil into the concrete floor pinning me to the ground. I was angry more about my hand for some reason. I

held my arm, and pulled the coil out of the ground sitting up. My arm vibrated in pain it had to have been broken in at least 12 spots. They both

had grim smiles of delight. It didn't get to me though. I had sent all my keys away just so they couldn't have them. I hope they're somewhere safe.

I had no energy, and no magic left I was running on adrenaline. It was the oddest energy to run on. It was energy of will, and fighting spirit that

much is sure. It felt like I was somehow moving with no energy, and I knew the end of this fight was coming for me. I had a few small holes

randomly on my body, but they were overshadowed by the fist sized hole the guy had made when he charged at me with a metal fist with a point

at the end. The blood loss made me light headed, but I was becoming bolder. I said something that I can't remember as I walked up to them. I had

a fierce look, and they in return gave me a smug look. I refused to give them the satisfaction of me cowering before my death. The scum one could

see I was dieing, and he frantically opened an old book. Scanning it to jog his memory before I become useless. He looked at me. "You didn't think

I would go empty handed. You may have sent your keys away, but I guess I have to cut my losses and settle for you." He must of saw me trying to

comprehend that sentence because it just didn't make sense. "We don't kill in my family we make you wish you were dead. Today is the day you

lose everything freedom, memory, the ability to think for yourself, make your own choices, to even speak, the only thing you get to keep is the

ability to feel pain and misery. You're going to be my families puppet." He shot a crazed look as he started screaming a spell. I used my final

energy to just stand and continued in an expressionless gaze as a black magic wrapped around me. It was a thick sea of black. I could feel the

holes painfully closing in except the fist sized hole I could feel metal filling that hole in. My memories faded like a fast carousel of color flashing by

my eyes for the last time. I was fading out of consciousness but there were bright colorful lights flashing outside of the black sea that enveloped

me.
