Hey everyone! It's been such a long time since I've posted anything new. I've had this idea for awhile. I decided that it was time I actually typed it up and posted it. Haha. ^.^ It's rated T just to be safe. I hope you enjoy!


~Mayura's POV~

I strain my eyes as I desperately try to find some kind of light in the endless darkness that surrounds me. It's so dark and cold here in this strange place. I keep hoping that this is just a nightmare and that I'll wake up any second, but I know deep down that I won't wake up. Deep down I understand that I'm alone in the darkness. The feelings of emptiness and anger settle deep into my chest. I close my eyes and think back on how I ended up here.

I was arguing with Alice. When I first discovered her love of Kyo, I thought I could help her by fixing her up with someone else. I thought that if I pushed her a little, she would be able to move past her feelings for Kyo. I didn't want her unresolved feelings to turn into jealousy and hate towards me or him. When it became obvious that she didn't want to move on, I felt so angry with her.

Kyo was mine and she had no right to take him away from me. I was the one who confessed to him. I was the one who spent so long working towards a stable relationship with him. I was the only one who was being honest about my feelings! If she liked him too, then she should have said something about it. There were plenty of times when she could have told me about her feelings.

But she never once indicated that she like him as well. She's always been like that. She always hides her true feelings instead of speaking up for herself. That's why people pick on her, and that's why I always have to stick up for her. The rage in my chest grows a little as I think about all of the times that I've had to help her because she refused to do anything for herself. All throughout our childhood I've always had to be responsible for her.

"Let the darkness grow inside of you, child." I hear someone whisper in my ear. My eyes snap open and I look in all directions. I still see nothing but empty darkness.

"Who's there? What do you want?" I call out. My voice is shaky and strained. Why is it so hard to speak?

"Do not be afraid. We are here to help you." I hear the whispers faintly. The voices are drifting to me from all directions, but I still cannot see.

"Help me? How can you help me?" I ask.

"It must have caused you so much pain.. To see him with her." The voices whisper. I say nothing in return. My hand clenches into a fist over my heart. The pain caused by what Alice did is still fresh. She was the one who put me here. Did she plan on sending me here to get me out of the way? How could she betray her own sister in such a way? A new surge of rage explodes in my chest.

"We can feel your anger that is caused by her betrayal. We can help you achieve the revenge that she deserves." I look out into the darkness and I suddenly don't feel so alone. Somebody is here and is offering me help. I know that I will need it if I ever want to escape the pain that captivates me now.

"How?" I ask simply.

"Step forward and allow yourself to become one with the darkness that surrounds us all. Let it embrace your soul and heart. Let us help you." The voices whisper. I straighten my back and lower my fist. This is the only way I'll ever be able to show Alice how wrong she was. This is something that I must do. Without hesitation I walk forward.


A/N Well there you go. Short and sweet. I may be willing to write a second chapter from Alice's POV if anybody would be interested in reading that. What did you guys think? Please leave a review, and stay awesome!
