-Zendaya-
I opened my eyes at the sound of a running stream and sat up confused. I looked around to find I was in a meadow of sorts.
What the�
I wondered as I looked around.
'I was beginning to wonder when you would wake up child.'
A voice said and I whipped around to see a figure in a white cloak standing behind me.
"Ah!"
I screamed as I tried to scramble away from the figure.
'Calm down child, I won't hurt you.'
The figure said and I looked up at it to see it had a woman's figure.
"W-Who are you?"
I asked, trying to keep the fear I felt out of my voice.
'Who I am is up to you to figure out, but that is not what I have brought you here for.'
The figure said, confusing me further. I opened my mouth to ask where I was when the figure spoke again.
'You wish to get away from the pain in your life correct?'
It asked and I blinked in surprise a second before nodding.
'You want to find a way to become stronger.'
The figure continued and I nodded again as I got to my feet.
"Yes."
I said and the figure nodded. I couldn't see it's face, in the hood of the cloak all I saw was a bright light, nothing else.
'Then you will have that chance.'
The figure said and disappeared.
"Wait, what? What do you mean by that? Where'd you go? Hey!"
I called out, but got no answer.
Suddenly, the meadow I was in disappeared and darkness took its place. I suddenly got the sensation of falling and started to get dizzy.
Just what is going on here?
I wondered until I felt a sudden searing pain in the upper part of my right arm. I grabbed my arm, hoping that by holding the spot the pain was in I could stop it, but it only increased. Wondering what was going on, I pushed the sleeve of my t-shirt up only to stare in shock as I watched something being etched into the skin of my arm.
I watched in a state of numbed awe as a word was etched into my skin. It wasn't until the blood started running down my arm and the surprise wore off that I felt the pain again, but I still couldn't take my eyes off my arm. I saw the word when it was finished and realized it was the kanji for one word, Loyalty.
What the hell is going on!?
I wondered, starting to freak out.
'You who wishes to find a place to belong and become stronger, you will get your wish. But in the end will it be what you truly wish for?'
I heard the voice of the cloaked figure, but they were nowhere in sight.
"Stop this! I want to go home!"
I screamed out, but got nothing but silence in return.
I looked around and noticed something below me. I squinted my eyes to try and see what it was and my eyes widened when I realized it was the ground.
I'm going to die!
I thought, starting to panic and looking around for something to stop my rapid decent, but coming up empty. As the ground got closer and closer I started screaming. I brought my arms up to my face and closed my eyes as I braced for impact.
