Kaiya jolted. Her whole body felt sore. She had trouble lifting her head, it was heavy. She tried to move her arm to move her dirty hair from her face, but she couldn't move them. They were chained. To what? She did not know. She heard a soft laugh. It was coming from in front of her.
"Heh. He got you too huh? I thought she would do a better job in protecting you two." Kaiya tried to lift her head to see who was talking, but she was just too weak. She felt a soft hand on her chin. Her head was lifted and her eyes widened in shock. It was a woman who stood before her. Her kimono was torn to shreds, markings were all over her body. Her long dark hair was a mess. But what caught Kaiya's attention were the women's eyes. They were honey brown. There was only one person she knew with those honey brown eyes, eyes that could stare into your soul.
"Mother..?" Kaiya croaked out. She voice was just starting to come back from not being used for however long. The woman laughed.
"Oh god no. I am not your mother. You are seeing things. You have been out for too long." She reached over Kaiya's head and started unlocking the locks. "Must have me confused with someone else."
Kaiya didn't know what to think. She looked exactly like her, but she kept her mouth shut and listened to what she had to say.
"The man who brought you here is an evil man. He is using your group of friends for a plan he has had for a long time now. He is trying to become more powerful, and you are all the key to it." Kaiya didn't know what to say anymore. Not that she did in the first place, but she was completely speechless. Before the woman could speak again, footsteps were heard. "Be careful, you are the only ones who can save us." The woman said before hiding back into the shadows.
A door swung open, causing a bright light to shine into Kaiya's face. A deep laughed echoed in the room.
"So, you are awake, are you?" A figure walked towards Kaiya and grabbed her right wrist, causing her to wince. The person lifted her onto their shoulders and walked towards the door. Before the figure left, they stopped and spoke. "Your purpose is almost fulfilled Miaka." And shut the door.
