I'm back! A bit later than I said, but still, I'm back :L
Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter in VD. Thank you muchly, I'm glad you all enjoyed it.
Okay, quick thing to stress here: This is a sequel. If you haven't read the prequel, then please go find it (It's called Valentine's Day). Just 'cause I don't want you all to be like, "WTF?"
Anywhooo. Onwards.
Imagine you're walking down a street.
It's cold, dark, silent. You don't know whether to keep walking or stop and let the fear consume you. The cobbled road goes on forever, and wherever you turn, it's there.
It's a stoic street. It never tells you that you can leave it, but it doesn't tell you that you can't.
Lampposts tower above you at different intervals, the gaps between them filled with trees three stories high. They arch over the street, and you sense that you have been placed in a horror movie.
Cautiously, you edge forward. No need for caution, but still, you use it. You know that no matter how long you walk down this road, stones scattering when your feet hit them, it will only carry on. The street is immortal.
There's a horn sounding behind you, and you whirl around on your feet. But nothing is there. Nothing is ever there.
When you turn around again, you see a door. It stands in the middle of the road, and you can't see anything beyond it. It's timbre is dark and rich, looking alien next to the bark of the trees beside you. You don't want to enter it, but it's the only way to go.
You know that whatever is beyond that door, it holds your fate. A choice between life and death.
So you walk forward, only to find there is no doorknob. You inspect it further, only to find that when you look back up, the door is open. So you enter.
There's blood, rain, sweat, tears. Screams of pain, screams of fear. There's an unconscious body over there, surrounded by war cries and cowering civilians. Then you see the person you love, down on the floor, fighting for their life.
For a second, you think that this door has just led you into Hell.
But no. This door has led you back into reality.
Now, yes, I'm aware that it's small, but it's just a prologue. A preface-type-thing. So yeah.
The proper chapter will be up ASAP, so watch out :P
Again, thank you for the reviews on the last story :D
