I finally got around to fixing the chapters! Whoop!
Chapter1:
A Trapped Soul
It was cold and dark. The only light came from the moon, outside the barred windows. There was a musty smell in the air, made up of the blood of humans and animals, and the smell of dead rats. A prisoner was trapped in this jail cage, although it's much worse than that. Her very soul is imprisoned here by the unseen chains of fate that bind her.
Her gray eyes were lifeless, dull; no longer does she have a reason to continue her life. Her waist length gray hair was stained with dried blood. She had a white scarf as a shirt; it was secured with a tight knot. She wore black baggy pants; it was as if she was pain in human form. Dangling from her right ear were two silver earrings.
A cold, harsh wind blew in through the window and scraped the prisoner's skin. She didn't budge at the cold; she just sat there as the chains that attach her to the wall rattled.
KNOCK! KNOCK! Two knocks were heard from the metal door.
"Akane, here's your dinner." A male voice said kindly as he pushed a raccoon through a small door at the bottom. "Akane?" he asked again.
She didn't answer or move. She just sat there, staring into the depths of despair that consumed her since the day she was born.
"Akane?" the boy behind the door slowly unlocked it and stepped inside. He stepped on the raccoon's tail as he entered the dirty dungeon; it hissed at him but he pushed it aside. "Akane?" he sat down in front of the captive. He pushed her bangs out of her face, placed his hand under her chin, and gently pulled her head to face him. Through her eyes, he saw her loneliness and her pain. He sighed depressingly. "…I'm sorry…I'm sorry it had to be this way…" he whispered and placed a hand on her head. A single tear fell from his eyes.
She can't see anything, she can't hear anything, she can't feel anything. No matter how loud you yell in her ear, no matter how close you get to her face, no matter how many times you tell her that you love her, she won't respond. No matter what happens. She's trapped herself in her heart, trapped herself with the pain she's seen, the pain she's endured, and the pain she's caused. She's alive and yet she's dead. Nothing can change that.
