The Mask of Zeo 2

Counter Fight

Dangers of the Unfamiliar

At first voices.
Voices that were muffled.
Voices that made no sense.
She couldn't be sure if it was voices or music that was playing.
She wasn't aware of anything else, just sounds.
She tried to open her eyes but there was no strength.
Nor was there any strength to do anything.
All she could do was lay and listen and wait.

Now a few minutes later the voices were starting to make sense but they were still fuzzed.
Now she could see but that did little.
Everything was fuzzed and her vision wasn't reliable, all she saw were colors with no physical object coming into focus.
She squinted her vision in a vein attempt to work out where she was.
Her body was exhausted.
But she wasn't.
It ignored her commands to move, to make sense of where she was.
Suddenly she felt herself getting weaker again before passing out to pitch black.
An endless blackness.

The voices again.
She came around.
No vision, just sound.
Again she couldn't focus on anything.
Her mind wandered.
Before the sound faded away again.

"Jess...Jess...wake up..."
"JESS!" This sound was clearer than before.
Somehow it was newer but familiar.
"Jess...please wake up."
She tried to open her eyes to success.
Sadly it was still faded and blurry.
There was something over her talking.
"That's right...come back to me...come back."
Jess blinked her eyes and things began to come into focus before she blacked out once more.

"Please...talk..."
"Open your eyes...it was only a dream..."
That familiar voice was back.
Her vision was no better.
It was still a talking object with a familiar voice.
"Please respond...can you hear me?"
She tried to respond but there was nothing she can do.
Now she had strength to open her mouth but nothing came out before she returned to the blackness.

Now the first mumblings she heard were back.
They were louder.
She couldn't think straight and felt worse than before.
Her head was spinning.
She could now feel and she felt cold.
She felt like ice.
Totally freezing, oddly her body didn't respond and didn't react properly and start shivering but that went unnoticed by how confused her head was.
She couldn't open her eyes or move anything.
It was as if she was completely paralyzed by something.
Nothing was making sense, there's too much confusion for anything to make sense and yet there must be someway out of here.
A muffling got louder before suddenly stopping and then she felt herself slipping into nothingness once more.

"Jess...speak to me...you're scaring me."
There was the familiar voice.
Trying to help her.
How many times she tried to respond it got harder each time before she gave up and stared at the blurry object, all the colors were together making it impossible to think who the voice belonged too and who was actually talking to her.
"Come on...stay with me please...don't blackout again."
The voice was male and sounded friendly...she thought, her brain was totally messed up.
It had to be friendly, who would be unfriendly and evil if they said that?
She could feel warmth now.
Spreading through her.
She wasn't sure how to deal with it but there was nothing she could do to protect herself from the warmth.
Whatever vision she had was blocked out by light which faded away again into that all too familiar darkness.
"Jess..."

This time was different.
Things were starting to come together.
How she was kidnapped.
Where she was kidnapped.
Who she was kidnapped by.
She opened her eyes and there were now spots in her vision and the focus in her eyes were increasing and decreasing.
"Jess? Wake up please...wake up!"
The voice was clear here but not the others that are there too.
Completely unclear.
"Please speak."
"I don't know what to do."
Jess tried to respond but whatever was making it impossible for her to speak was still there.
The spots in her vision were pulsating and changing colors.
Her head began to throb before she passed out.

"Jess...please try and speak."
The voice sounded in pain.
Sadly each time the voice spoke it made her head hurt twice as much.
Multicolor spots danced in her vision.
She had no clue what was going on.
Then an image appeared.
She was knelling by someone who had been stabbed in the heart.
A girl was crying by her left as she tried to save the dying man's life.
Suddenly the man died.
With the death of the man also came the end of the vision.

Piano music.
Piano music was playing.
She was in a house.
A large house.

She didn't know where she was.
She followed the notes flowing through the air.
She passed doors and listened as the music got louder.
The music entranced her, it was pulling her.
She had no control over her body.
"Jess..."
That familiar voice sounded next to her.
"What's going on?" it asked.
She didn't respond.
She couldn't respond.
Her legs walked her towards the melody.
The soothing melody.
The pain in her head vanished as she came closer.
Her vision was still blurred so she didn't know she was in a house.
Suddenly the music started to fade.
And the blur became blackness once again.

"Jess...you need to wake up...now...it's important."
"Please," the voice sounded strained, worried.
She tried to speak but she could barely move her mouth.
Her throat was dry.
Her head throbbed.
"When did that start again?"
It was the only clear thought she had since she could remember.
She couldn't remember her name.
She strained to look past the confusion barrier that prohibited her remembering anything about herself, and her memories.
She drew a complete blank.

"Jess...please open your eyes."
That friendly voice was back again.
She opened her eyes but it was blurry and she couldn't see anything.

"Good... now can you talk?"
She tried but failed.
"I need you to try and speak for me."
"Please...I have to speak to you...I need to ask you so much."
The voice was to the right of her.
She could see the figure stood over there.
No physical features were obvious at the time.

"Please speak...try your hardest."
The voice was welcoming.
But something was coming back to her.
"I know you can do this...just try."
That voice had just been assigned a name.
It stood out but she had no energy to speak.
She opened her mouth to speak.
She managed to clear her throat.
The energy to speak came back to her.
Her vision began to clear.
The barrier that was there was no longer there.
She remembered all, she saw the man the way she remembered him.
Finally the long awaited voice came from her lips.
"Ray...?"
