- Olivias POV -

My eyes, though heavy and swollen, slowly opened to the sound of a hollow breeze. My mind was foggy of the nights previous events, and as I gazed around my surrounding area, I suddenly realized… I recognized none of it. I quickly jerked myself up into a sitting position only to cry out in agonizing pain. I swear my vision went to black as I immediately fell backwards onto the pillow. My eyes widened with horror as they began to fill with tears as the sudden realization hit me. "No… no no no please! Please God no!" I looked down at my legs to see them both casted up in a strange black material, and securely fastened into the correct position. I could see a bit of blood staining the gauze, and needless to say, my heart was pounding. It was then that I felt my breathing hitch, and some amount of restrain against my upper body. I looked down at my chest to see that one of my arms had been wrapped snuggly against my chest with a bandage, and I could clearly see a dent in my side. "No wonder it hurts to breath… my ribs…"

I shut my eyes tightly to stifle my cries as I tried to focus on something else. I bit my lip and slowly moved my other hand along the bed side, forcing a smile as I felt the sheets that lay below me. They were so soft and silky… black too. "My favorite color…" I then looked around the room. It was dark and the walls were made of a stone like material. It had to be rock… it just looked so natural. And was that grass sprouting from the cracks? Could this be a cave? I clenched my fists tightly as I continued to distract myself from the pain. "Ngh… this can't be a hospital. Where am I?" I whimpered as I was helpless to lay there and do nothing… but think. I closed my eyes and thought back to the events last night. … "I remember the storm… being lost… running away from… them." I cringed at the thought as I continued to place together the missing pieces of the puzzle. "I remember falling… and… I remember a horse…-!" My eyes snapped open. "That's it! Last night in my dreams! There was a black horse with bright and glowing eyes. It saved me from my nightmare…" I could remember the nightmare well.


It was cold. Cold, black, and terrifying. I was alone… aimlessly falling through the shadows with no one there to catch me… the pain was unbearable. Memories that I prayed would someday leave my mind continued to taunt me, only worsening my current situation. "Go away! Just go away!" I cried out to the darkness as tears filled my eyes. "Please… let me die…" I wrapped my arms around my trembling body, closing my eyes as the darkness slowly consumed me… only to be scooped up by a tall shadowy figure… and placed on the back of a great black horse. Then… the Nightmare evaporated.


"That figure… who was he? And that horse. They seemed so familiar…" I closed my eyes again as a single tear slid down my cheek. "…where am I?" It was then that I heard a voice. A deep voice that was as smooth and mysterious as the wind itself.

"I see you're awake…"


"There are some things that just need to be done."
