I can see…..Marco in a distance…

The sky was dyed red and the clouds were dark as….darkness. Everything was so quiet, making it very eerie and creepy at the same time. Star felt her heart raced and her feet were shaking with fear. She doesn't know why she felt this way, but there's no time to think about that.

"Marco?"

Among all the destroyed and dark scenery, Star smiled upon spotting a familiar person in a distance. As she ran towards him…she suddenly stopped midway after realizing something was not right.

"Star.…? Star…s….tar….."

Marco, who was dressed in dark clothing while wearing a traditional skull mask, turned around and noticed the young Butterfly a few meters from him. His eyes were dark and red…..as though it was not him. With his deep and echoing voice, he slowly dragged his feet.

"M-Marco? W-what happened to you…..?"

Star was beginning to get frightened at the unresponsive Marco. As he drew closer, Star backs away in fear…confused and terrified at the same time.

"Star…..this is…..all your fault!"

"W-what did I do…..to you?"

With his bloodied hands, Marco grabbed the terrified Star and refused to let her go despite her persistent struggling.

"Marco, let go!"

"Why couldn't you let me go, Star! Why couldn't you let me go?!"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Tears slowly formed at the edge of her eyes as her mind was overwhelmed with fear. Marco then pinned her on the ground and continued to speak cryptic words as his demonic eyes stared at her terrified eyes.

"You did this to me, Star!"

"I didn't do anything to you!" Star begun to cry

"You should have let me go, Star! You shouldn't have brought me back!"

Star screamed and closed her eyes. The moment she opened them again, Marco was shaking her worriedly.

"Star!"

"M-Marco?"

Confused, Star looked around and realized she was in her room while lying in her own bed. Seeing Star okay, Marco let go of her shoulders and sighed in relief.

"You had me worried. That must be one bad nightmare"

"Nightmare? Y-yeah! It's just a bad dream"

She nervously laughed at the sudden thought of Marco blaming her for something she doesn't know.

"If you don't hurry, we'll be late for school"

After that, Marco head back downstairs to eat breakfast while Star tried to process what was that bad dream.

"It's just a bad dream, Star. Don't let it get to you"

She furrowed her eyebrows as she reassured to herself that what she saw was nothing but a figment of her thoughts. But then…..

"Or is it?"

Thinking she saw and heard Toffee whisper those words to her, Star screamed as she turned around and prepared a defensive stance.

"J-Just my imagination"

She nervously laughed after seeing Toffee's hallucination almost gave her a heart attack. While Star prepared for the day and head downstairs to join the Diaz family for breakfast, a figure watched her exit her room…..

"I wonder if you will make the same choice again, little Butterfly?"

It was like a shadowy raven with bright red eyes that spoke in a sinister and villain like manner. After watching Marco and Star leave the house, it flew away leaving a grim and sinister laugh…..


Note: Okay...first SVTFOE FanFic. This has been a draft for quite some time so I decided to publish this anyway, so I can improve my writing skill better. Anyway, this is just the prologue so this is short. Next chapter will be longer, but no sudden action yet...
