Crimson Rite

by JacquelineGraye

Karin Kurosaki. Loud, reckless and a total tomboy. Yuzu Kurosaki. Soft spoken, kind, and the virtual opposite of her sister. Both of them relied heavily on the other. What happens when the two get separated? With an invisible wall separating them they will just have to learn to survive on their own. But can they do it?

Chapter One: Where am I?

Peace. That was the only word I could use to describe what I am feeling right now. I feel like I am endlessly floating across a non-existent river. My body feels so relaxed. My soul is humming in a sort of satisfied way. Calming waves of... energy is it? Is slowly making it through my body almost endlessly. My eyes are closed and am enjoying this pleasant sensation. This sensation, I don't know how to explain it. I don't even know if it can be explained. It's just.. There.

Move. A voice whispers. I don't want to move.

Listen. It whispers again. I don't want to listen.

Open your eyes, child. No, leave me alone, I just want to sleep.

Open your eyes, child!Can't you see I'm perfectly fine right here?

Open your eyes, child!Suddenly that pleasurable sensation was gone.

I hesitantly opened my eyes, I see black. Where am I? I thought to myself. I tried to move but it seemed as if I'm paralyzed. I don't feel anything. No panic. No fear. Not a drop of emotion. I'm just there. I feel myself slipping into that nice feeling again.

Don't do it, child! Don't give in!

I couldn't bring myself to fight. I am slowly fading into the background. My eyes are closing, and I am once again enjoying that feeling of bliss. I am slipping into oblivion. And no one could stop me. No one.
