Chapter 2: Portal into Sanity
I shut the door, and then slumped down. Tears poured down my cheeks. This was the only safe place to cry. No one cared about Shawna anymore... Some people couldn't even remember that name... My name...
I sat in the dark, crying, for a while before I noticed the other person in the room. Suddenly, I stopped crying. Looking up slowly, I realized that the person was from somewhere else. Judging by his clothes... FEUDAL JAPAN?!
Hesitantly, I spoke. "Yes?"
The young man smiled. "Will you come with me?" I nodded, and stood to follow him. He led me into the closet, where there was a large black void in the floor. He motioned he forward. I looked down into the void. The dark hole reminded me of my own heart. Without warning, the young man pushed me in. I closed my eyes, fear coursing through my veins.
I realized as I fell that this portal would save me from my insanity; the insanity that enveloped me from the first one of his fits. Now I didn't have to be afraid...
In Feudal Japan
"So, what's your name?" the boy asked. My heart jumped. No one had ever cared before.
"Shawna..." It felt good to say that aloud again. We were sitting around a small campfire.
The man smiled. "Shawna... That's a nice name..."
"And yours is?"
He sat up straight at the mention of his name. "Miroku. Inu Yasha sent me to get you. We'll be meeting him tomorrow. Just to warn you, he's not the nicest at times."
I shut the door, and then slumped down. Tears poured down my cheeks. This was the only safe place to cry. No one cared about Shawna anymore... Some people couldn't even remember that name... My name...
