Prologue 2

"It's almost time for you to leave; almost time to leave everything behind. It's up to you to change the ending, but remember… even the greatest hero needs people to support them. Never think you're alone." The voice, it wasn't the usual one… this one was softer, though clearly feminine. I looked to my left, then my right, and then all around me, but I couldn't see anyone. After that, I felt myself falling, farther and farther, but I didn't make a sound. It was as if my mouth had been sealed closed. Then, as I slipped farther down, I saw a figure up above me, standing from where I must have fallen, but it was gone before I could get a clear view.

My eyes flew open to meet the carpet of my bedroom. I'd fallen out of bed. I sighed as I pulled myself up to my feet and ran a hand over my face. This time I remembered the dream clearly, though the new voice had no owner. Again. These dreams with faceless voices were getting on my nerves.

I got up and grabbed a box of cereal, not bothering with a bowl filled with milk. Waste of dishes. Sitting back on my bed, I munched silently, mulling over the new dream with questions running back and forth in my mind, waiting to bubble up to the surface.

Why the new dream? Who did the new voice belong to? What did she means about it almost being time? Was I about to die or something? I chuckled, not likely, though that might be an interesting experience. At that point I decided that maybe I was just going crazy… nothing new. So I shrugged, bringing my box of cereal with me to my computer to check if the episode was up yet.

"Well maybe this won't be such a bad day after all. Heller Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, I have missed you soooo~" I cooed, smiling at the familiar "subbed" sign beside the episode name.

For about ten minutes I sat at my computer watching the latest episode and cheering during one of the many epic fights that had been happening recently.

"AH NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ENVY, HES KICKING YOUR ASS! STOP SCREAMING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AND FIGHT HEEEEEEM!"

Ok, so maybe I was a bit too into it, but what can I say, it was a good episode. It was right about then when the computer screen went black. Of course, being the calm collected person I am, I simply attempted to restart my computer.

"! HOW DARE YOU SHUT OFF NOW STUPID COMPUTER WHYYYYYY! TURN BACK ON! WAH!"

…

Ok so I lied. Don't look at me like that.

Suddenly, red numbers started running across the screen in a large font, stopping my rage instantly. I realized then that the lights in the house had gone out as well, along with the streetlight outside my window. And the cars were silent, which never happened. There was always someone. It was completely and utterly silent. Shivering, I gathered my hoodie around me and stood up, flicking my light switch a couple times to make sure I wasn't just going insane, which apparently I wasn't. For now.

Then, from within the thick silence, a heard a scuffle, then perhaps what was a laugh, though I could've just been imagining things. I walked slowly and quietly out to the kitchen and grabbed two steak knives from the cupboard above the oven -noticing that the clocks on the oven and microwave were also tweaking out- and walked towards where the noise was coming from.

"Mum, that you?" no reply.

"Whoever it is, I heard you. Come out!" Still, only the deep silence. I was becoming increasingly scared as time slowly passed. I could hear the silence ringing in my ears, feel it pressing against me. I couldn't see a thing; even if the person, or whatever it was, was standing right in front of me I doubt I would've been able to see it. I felt the familiar stinging from keeping my eyes open too long. I had thought they were closed by the darkness.

"SHOW YOURSELF DAMMIT!"

"My, my… you are a loud one aren't you?" I jumped, almost loosing my grip on the knives I held in my hands.

The voice, it was the same one from my first dream… though now I realized that I couldn't tell if it was male or female, child or adult or anything in between. Maybe it was all of them… maybe none, I couldn't be sure.

"W-who are you, what do you want?" my voice was shaking, I couldn't help it. The voice laughed.

"I think you know the answer to that question already," I blinked finally, and the black turned to bright white, and the knives disappeared from my hands.

My eyes widened, it was like my dreams. The same white space, the same voice… that meant… I looked around for the source of the voice, but still could see only white. That is, except for the looming grey gate behind me. I whirled to look at it, my eyes probably bulging out of my head by now.

"You have a very important role to play child, but it's still your choice whether you'll play it or not."

"What does that even mean?" I mumbled, still trying to regain my composure.

"It means whatever you want it to mean girly," I got the feeling this voice was mocking me. "Now, will you take the leap or stay in your nice sheltered life?"

I thought about that for a bit. Judging from what's being said, if I go through I'll never be able to come back. Maybe. But if I don't, I'll always be left wondering… and besides, I've always complained about having a boring life, that's why I'm so into writing and the like…

"I'll go." I looked up at the gate determinedly, setting my jaw. I wasn't sure if time would continue to pass while I was on the other side of the gate, but if it did, my parents would freak when they found out I was gone. Hah.

"You know that once you go through here, you won't ever be able to go back… right?" I nodded, not moving my eyes.

"I know." The gate opened and the snake-like black arms flung out to grab me, and lifted me right off my feet. Even now I remember the thought that ran through my head right before the gate closed tight.

I wonder if anyone will miss me.

DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! And we still don't know her name yet 8D though I did have it written in this chapter, I edited it out because I felt like being mean. Note the part where Truth calls her "girly", that was originally a cutesy play on her name. I liked that better… but I'm stubborn like that so it stays girly. This one's longer than the other one… though still insanely short. I'll start working on the next chapter soon enough. Oh and, this chapter's up after no reviews (not counting a certain someone) simply to celebrate the passing of my exams! i'm now officially on Summer Break! Also! Starting next chapter the authors note and disclaimer will be at the top, because I don't like using all this space at the end /shotshotshot
