Now you know how I feel.
"Oh Ken. I'll find you and I'll get you out, I promise. You'll be happy again.." Her thoughts were focused entirely on the single sentence implanted within her mind. With eyes closed behind her neat, small light wire-framed glasses she refused to open them until she could organize her thoughts once again. When her mind began to slow down, she could sense the feeling of anger and more rage starting to broil just beneath the surface of where she was. It lashed out and crackled along the tiled floor, sounding like a hiss of cobras ready to strike. Danger.
Leaping to her feet, plain white shoes padded against the floor, screaming in sudden surprise as the owner of the feet they covered turned and sped away from the area. Once again in the red hallway of the Kaiser's base, they could feel the vibrations through the floor, as if something big was about to explode. Unable to do nothing but run, another turn came and they screeched once more, friction spitting warmth from the ground. Stairs were sailing past; climbing in a burst of inhuman speed one could only muster in their dreams. The floor shifted, the texture turning into something close to thick carpenters glue or even quicksand.
"No! You're not stopping me!" Miyako grit her teeth together and grunted, fighting against the sticky mess boiling beneath her feet. The traps were already getting more vicious, though she wasn't surprised. Stumbling onto a painful memory was definitely unintelligent on her part, except it wasn't her fault. The floor sucked and slurped at her soles, reaching out with sticky fingers to curl about her feet. A trap. "Let me go!" Her own power solidified and the goop slid freely off her limbs, leaving her untouched only to cause more perilous environment.
Launching herself from the reddish tar pit she landed safely on the ground, not bothering to balance herself, she kept running up the stairs. They seemed to fly past her feet as if she were getting closer to her goal; the Control Room. Another shift rippled through when she could see the darkened doorway, no door to protect it from intrusion. The stairs gave way and at breaking speeds they dragged her down, forcing her to run faster than ever. She could only last for so long until she ran out of strength and breath, collapsing helplessly to the moving stairs and being whisked away on a trail of red back to the beginning.
"You're ride isn't over yet, Chosen. You may have discovered the doors, but there's still more for you to live through.That is if I don't kill you first." Twin ruby eyes glared out from the shadows across the large gap, the figure obviously standing on a set of shadowed stairs. Everything he touched was turned to darkness. With a whoosh of air- the sound of him leaping off the platform and spreading a pair of dark wings suiting his personality- he swiftly crossed over the sky above her, allowing her to watch him in graceful flight until he folded the leathery limbs and began making a dive.
Miyako flinched, watching from her place on the floor as the living darkness descending, the only objects she could make out were his flashing crimson eyes. The hawk outstretched his front arms, bending them towards her, ready to snag and throw or so she believed. Catching her breath, she could feel her heart beating steadily beneath her rib cage, how it could remain calm in this scenario was another confusing and alarming question. Moving to sit up, she was about to roll to her side and out of the way when she discovered she couldn't move. A gasp escaped her mouth in fear, frozen to the position she was in against her will. Something held her down, an invisible power that she could not fight.
The pair of dragon wings fell towards her, becoming larger with each second until they blocked out her light like an eclipse. At the last minute she found her voice and pinched her eyes shut, a tremble shuddered through her body until it finally reached her mouth and spread her lips, activating her voice box in a high pitched howl.. "KEEEENNNN!!!"
