The room was empty.
My mind was empty.
My soul was empty.
Where had everything gone? It was all white to me. It wasn't peaceful, but eerie.
I couldn't remember the last time I had moved.
I couldn't remember the last time I heard someone speak to me.
I couldn't remember the last time I was so scared.
The same image bured over and over again in my mind. Dark, red eyes. Staring intently at me. It was hard to tell if the emotion was sincere or cold.
I would never know anymore.
My hands clutched at my dark hair as tears slowly drifted down my cheeks. Soon, my body curled itself up, my knees brought to my chest tightly.
Why did this happen to me? Why would he betray me?
I blinked the tears from my eyes as I looked towards the door, the door just as white as the walls around me, blending in. I hardly noticed it.
A familiar form stepped through, but I couldn't find enough strength for myself to even sit up. Instead, my tears fell in large streams, yet I stayed completely silent. I didn't even realize the wetness.
"I'm sorry, Rei."
Those words burned in my mind. I wanted to lash out, throw something at him, but I simply cried harder. A sob broke through the silence of the room.
It took every amount of effort for my golden eyes to bore into his red ones. The ones I loved, the ones that betrayed me. He looked guilty, but I didn't understand why.
"I didn't know...I didn't know what to do, Rei. I just wanted you to be safe. I was worried."
I became even more confused at these words. I felt my anger and despair wind down, my heartbeat slowing. My body uncurled as I sat up weakly. I felt his warm hands reach forward to grab my shoulders and I blinked the remains of my tears out of my eyes. His warm lips were there to catch them, kissing my tears away.
This is what it felt like. This is why.
"You'll be helped here. This is all I could do." He began again, look straying away from me now.
"I want to...I want to go home, Kai." I felt my tears well up again, remembering home. Remembering how it used to be. Remembering having a life to call my own.
I could see the pain in his eyes as he watched me. It was unbearable for the both of us.
"I can't do that." He said, beginning to get up.
My eyes pleaded to him, begged him to help me out of this place. With a cold look, he walked towards the door. Taking one last glance, he shut it quitely behind him.
I was alone.
