January 19, 1874
I opened my eyes slowly, and took in the room around me. It was big, white, empty, and had a strong scent of bleach. I turned over to the wall to help myself up, and started hobbling over to the narrow door at the opposite side of the room.
Out the door there was a long, dark, cold, damp stone tunnel. I held onto the rigid stones on the wall as I started to make my way into the unknown.
A few minutes later there was a break in the tunnel. I looked both ways, cocking my head a little while I thought.
"Momma?" I called quietly, "Daddy?"
There was no answer, so I slowly started making my way through the long way closest to me.
I stumbled through that tunnel for a long time. Eventually, thought I tripped over a loose stone in the floor. I wasn't hurt, but I was lonely and scared. My bottom lip puffed out and I started to cry.
"Momma? Dada?" I sobbed to nobody.
A few moments later, I realized a small light at the end of the tunnel I was in. I wiped away a tear from my eye, and started crawling towards it, not bothering to walk.
Once at the end of the tunnel, I peeked my head around the open door, my big blue eyes still glistening with tears.
I saw a young boy talking to a woman behind a big brown desk scattered with papers. The woman's eyes flickered over to me, and a grin stretched across her face.
"Ohhh," She crooned, walking over to me and scooping me up into her arms, "Is this baby Emmy I've heard so much about?"
She then looked down the dark tunnel I had just came from, "Ohh, no no no! Did you have to walk here all by yourself? Poor baby, Aro figured you would be sleeping much longer." She then turned to the boy she had been talking to before, "Alec, would you be a dear and go tell Aro Emmy is here?"
The boy nodded once, and disappeared with such speed, my mouth popped open.
A moment later, a tall, elderly man walked in. His face stretched into an identical smile to the lady holding me.
"Hello Emmy!" He said, taking me from the woman. "We are so excited to have you with us."
He tightened his grip on me, and then took off through the dark hallway I was in before. Much faster than it had taken me, we were back in the big bright room. But now there was a group of people, and a big shiny machine, with lots of wires connected to it.
I started to cry when they started hooking the wires onto me, but within a matter of seconds, everything disappeared. I couldn't see, hear, smell, or feel anything. I might have kept crying through it, but if I had, I couldn't tell. Everything was just black.
