This is the chapter of my first fic that isn't a one shot, I'm hoping it'll span for a while. Not so much of a chapter as it is a preview of what's coming.

It's about one of my OCs(try to guess who) and, looking at the title, you can pretty much tell what it's about... kinda.
Your'e thinking they're gunna break out, huh? I can't tell you if it'll happen or not. I'm planning on updating it every other week, to make you wait, ha ha lolz.

In case you were wondering, the it is RaeLogan's Mephiles/Dark. I have her permission to use him and mess with Mephie... cuz every likes to angstify Mephy's life.


I never did like medicine, medicine stops the pain, I think. I think I wanted the pain, or whatever it is that I'm feeling.

The nurse stepped towards me, needle in hand, while it watched in horror.

Why did they think something was wrong with me? I saw some pretty horrific and bizzare things, but I wasn't crazy... was I? I snarled and spit flew from my mouth, claws clenched to the floor and walls. You know, this kind of hurts, too.

I dug my claws further into my corner, What am I doing? I don't need to endanger myself anymore, I already can't go outside. How I long to be outside. I slightly released my grip, but kept my fangs beared. The nurse wasn't suprised, of course not, she was the nurse that delt with me regularly. What's her name? I should know, I've heard it before.

It was now that I noticed I had let go of my surroundings almost entirely, I could see the dumb expression on my face in the reflection on the needle. The needle! I showed my large teeth once again and the nurse backed down.

"I'll just have to try again later." I heard her mumble as she set the syringe on the cart to her right. I guess I should stop her and accept the medicine. This is the last time I won't accept it. I said that yesterday, didn't I?

I gave up on my internal battle and went back to my room, well, our room. I looked across the white floor at... it.

It shivered, like it would on a cold, winter day. It stared off into the distance, as the nurse left and bolted the door.

What is it? I've been wondering that since it was brought in here, my first roommate, and I have no idea what it could be.

It turned it's head to face me, I could see fear, and... curiosity? I could also see my reflection, gleaming off his pale red and green eyes. After staring at it for a mere second or so, its eyes grew into a deeper red, the corners of his mouth lifted into an evil grin, and instead of fear I saw hatred... and power.

Untill now, the only reason that I saw for him to be here was that he was so... detached from the world. Now, now I saw every reason he was here. He had had fits of rage and, "AHHHH!" I howled. I rolled on the floor as darkness surrounded my mind.

What's going on! I had no idea what was happening, clenching my eyes shut didn't help, I still saw that face. Those eyes burrowed into my mind and brought back memories I'd pushed aside, memories of the things that got me here. I also saw things that weren't mine, I saw blue claws covered in blood, I wasn't me. Right before I let out another yowl, the pain stopped. It didn't slowly die out, it just stopped.

"Now that the introductions have been made," It said, "that is, I know why your'e here and, if your'e as smart as I think you are, you know why I'm here."

What just happened, I guess that thing did it. I sat up as it began to speak again.

"You need not know my name, only," It stopped, "I guess you should have something to refer to me as..." It mumbled and began pacing, I don't think I was afraid, just... uncertain. "Why not, Dark? I've been called Dark before, so why not now?" He smiled again, an unnatural smile. The kind of smile only those who enjoy the pain of others could smile.

For the first time in years, I felt fear. Not because he smiled that way, because it felt like if I hung around him, I'd be smiling just like that. But I had no choice, he was going to be staying here, and so was I.


SUSPENSE AND ANGST that pretty much sums up this fic... everybody loves angst.
