Prologue,
Nightmares Begin
The strings of her hear were tugged painfully by his words.
'You're worthless.'
His words cut her deeper then any knife could. It felt like everyone was laughing at her for her stupidity, when everything went pitch black.
The darkness calmed her yet made her nervous.
Voices came out of nowhere, it started small whispers till it grew into loud yells.
'Stupid'
'I told you'
'Worthless'
'Failure'
'Whore'
The voices boomed into her ears like loud music coming from a stereo. She tightly put her hands on her ears trying to block out the hurtful words when as quickly as the voices came they disappeared and all went black…
…She could feel ice cold water gently lapping at her hips when suddenly long slender figures rapped around her ankles and dragged her down. She moved her arms all over, disturbing the calm water and making large ripples. She took a large breath before she was dragged under the dark and freezing water.
She struggled trying to resurface but her attempt was useless to the powerful grips on her ankles. Her lungs started to burn as they screamed for oxygen. It felt like someone had shoved a abject down her throat and it was lodged in the middle, preventing any air to reach her lungs.
She kicked her legs back and forth, trying to get free but they just gripped tighter and dragged her deeper. The darkness was trying to consume her but she forced herself to stay conscious.
The deeper she was the darker it became till everything was dark and quiet. She opened her mouth and greedily sucked in the air her lungs were begging for a couple of minutes earlier. She noticed a blue light surrounding her as she floated.
No more water and no more hands, she just jumped from one nightmare to another. To her surprise everything became quiet when she landed on some kind of solid ground. A few seconds later, a light appeared a couple of feet away from her. Curious, she walked towards it when she saw two shadows…
A priestess's and a half demon's.
Her heart twisted in agony inside her chest. She could heart it beat inside of her ears, preventing her from hearing the conversation between the two lovers. As it seemed they were about to kiss, she closed her eyes to no witness one of her worst nightmares.
A few minutes passed without a sound so she cracked open her eyes to see nothing but darkness. She slowly backed up when her body jerked backwards and her breath was caught inside her throat as she fell.
Kagome shot up from her sleeping bag, drenched in sweat, her chest heaving up and down with each shaky breath she took. She slowly pulled back her wet bangs from her sticky forehead. Her clothes were clinging to her small body like a second layer of skin but she paid no attention to it. The white around her pupils were bloodshot and dark bags formed under her tired eyes from the lack of sleep
Her brown eyes searched her surrounding, the campfire was still lit, giving her companions a eerie orange glow on their sleeping faces. Unshed tears stung her eyes as she remembered the nightmares. Without realizing, a tear slipped down her pale wet cheek, the salty substance stinging her flesh. Out of pure coincidence, it silently fell onto the young demon tucked in her sleeping bag.
The scent of salt and something wet on his tiny nose, aroused Shippo from is peaceful slumber.
"Kagome?" Shippo whispered, tiredness making his green eyes a darker shade, "are you ok?" Startled by Shippo's voice, she laid back down beside him and replied, " I'm fine, go back to sleep," she lightly kissed his forehead before shutting her heavy eyelids…
…Golden eyes watched the young women from the high branches of the tree as her breathing became even.
Good? Bad? I'm tired. Review please
