Okay, so this is my first story. Retrace 62 kind of willed me to do this and it was the only thing keeping me sane while waiting for Retrace 63 back in July. Dang, Leo's eyes are breathtaking, but I'm not used to this at all, especially after reading Retrace 63. *Cries*

Anyhow, this story is basicly about when Leo gets thrown 200 years forward in time to the present year and saves a young girl named Carrie from falling to her death. What they don't know that this is only the start of an adventure that will reveal unknown secrets about eachother.

I will try to update at least once a day. I have over half the story written, but I'm working on other works at the same time and school starts soon. Oh, and I only wrote the prolouge this way is because I'm afraid that history will repeat itself in the manga because of how things are right now. Poor Leo :(

I do not own Pandora Hearts, it belongs to Jun Mochizuki.

Enjoy!

Prologue: Alone

His eyes opened and revealed an inky black world, much like his purple eyes that were tinged with black, reflecting that place. He became aware that he was laying in something that was liquid, the liquid being cold, just like this world, and it also surrounded his being. He was still wearing his clothes from before, but they were all torn, the coat was practically in shreads.

As he breathed in air, his eyes darted around through lenses (wait, since when did he have his glasses on again?), his mind trying to find any sense or clue as to where he was.

But it didn't seem like darkness, it was as if this was...

He sat up imminently, his heart rate rising, his breathing more rapid. His oversized glasses fell off his face and landed in the vast water around him and water dripped from his long messy black hair. In effect, his bangs covered his eyes even more, which he had hidden for so long, at least until Vincent talked him into getting them cut. Even so, he could still see past them and out into the void.

"This is...the Abyss?" He exclaimed in extreme alarm. "But I...how did this...?"

"So please, Oz-kun, if I were to turn into his enemy, I want you to show me no mercy."

"Oz-kun...?" He wondered. It was almost like a flash of a memory, one so dark too.

"Just help Elliot..."

"Elliot...?"

"and...kill me with your own hands."

His chest tightened at these words, ones from so long ago, ones of a desperate plea for a friend to accept this promise. It became harder to breathe, and he struggled to remain in control of himself, willing himself not to pass out.

His memory was fuzzy, but this scene he could remember. He had grabbed this boy's arm and told him this. He also remembered crying over someone's body, one that was stained with blood. He also remembered sitting across from this same boy, Oz-kun, at a park and asking him to come with him and those other two, Vincent and Echo.

"These are..."

There was an occasion, a rather dark memory as dark as the Abyss. He was standing alongside not only Vincent, but the other Baskervilles. Their opponents were Gilbert Nightray, known also as Raven because of his Chain, Alice, a powerful Chain often called the B-Rabbit (Bloody Black Rabbit), and Oz Vessalius.

Oz. Oh, Oz-kun. Such a good friend. The one who had the hero of 100 years ago, Jack Vessalius, inside of him. Oz-kun was also destined for greatness, not only as the future lord of the Vessalius Dukedom, but also as the messiah that would save them all. Turns out that was true.

After a bloody and vicious battle, Oz-kun had kept his undecided promise after all. For he had been told by Vincent he was the 'container' for that man's soul, Glen Baskerville. He didn't understand why it had to be him, but he had started losing his free will, and then Oz-kun saved him in the end, therefore keeping his promise that he never made.

"He...killed me." He realized. "But, somehow, I ended up here?"

He knew he should be dead, but he was here in the Abyss. Everyone knew the Abyss was a prison. The only people he knew who had escaped the Abyss were Oz-kun and Alice. Being here, it was like an endless maze, no sun to shine on him.

The madness and realization of being trapped caused his mind to flood with panic.

"I have to get out..." He muttered. "Somehow...!"

He didn't want to be trapped here, he wanted to be in the real world, not this place of illusions. Sure, it contradicted his words that he said long ago to his beloved master, Elliot. "I don't want to see." Still, it was better than being stranded here for eternity. He wanted to return to the people who cared about him, his friends.

With a shaking hand, he retrieved his glasses from the water and put them back on his face, covering his eyes once more. Struggling to stand, he stared off into the darkness of the Abyss. He closed his eyes and painfully took in air.

His eyes snapped open and he started to run, his feet splashing water around him as he ran onward in the expansive sea. His heart pounded painfully in his chest, but he continued on.

There had to be a way out of this hell, and he was determined to find it. This was his goal as he disappeared into the darkness of the Abyss.

Plz leave a reveiw if you want. Also, this is my first story, so plz don't be hard on me. And yes, I know what everyone says, but I believe that Leo's eye color is a deep violet with hints of black.
