Instead of her comfortable room, she was now in a cold, dirty cell. The light streaming in trough the little cracks in the window hurt her eyes and the sound of the world was abusing her ears. Trying desperately to find something that would make this version of the world bearable, but nothing was helping. /span/p

It sounded like an elephant was marching in, but when she looked out, she only saw him. Malivore. So much time had passed since that face truly belonged to her beloved, that it almost didn't feel like him anymore, but just almost. The mere thought of what she had to do was still too much for her to bear. "Goodmorning sunshine. Took you long enough didn't it" Malivore said with a mischievous grin plastered to Landon's usually kind face. She tried desperately to scoff and dismiss him, but there wasn't much for her to do in this state. "What do you want, Malivore" she snapped at him./span/p

"My friends will get me out of here in no time, and when I feed, you will be over", but Malivore merely laughed and then she could hear his footsteps get fainter as he walked away. emSon of A-, /emshe thought. The light was blurry and painful and made it awfully hard to think as Hope tried to get her scrambled mind to work. They would come, they had to. It was just a matter of time. She got up from her crouched position and looked around, trying to find a way out of there. The only way in or out of the cell was the door, and to her luck, there was a little window in it. She tried beating on the small plate of glass, but with horror she realized that she was weaker than she had ever in her life bee. Even as a small child, Hope couldn't remember a time where she had felt as weak as right then. Without regard for anything else, she pounded on the door, when suddenly she felt unusually lightheaded and the everything was black. /span/p

If she didn't, she would die. she shot a glance over her shoulder, catching a glimpse of the sun to try and get a perspective of how much time she had, but it was useless. With a new sense of despair, she beat her fists against the glass, finally relieved to see it break a little. She tried to push the crippling feeling of exhaustion away, and a single tear slid down her cheek when the glass finally broke. She almost let out a scream, as the glass cut at her hands. Hope was no stranger to pain, but her new senses heightened the emotion to an extent where it was almost unbearable. The world blackened again, but this time she sat down in time. /span/p

Her legs, her entire body in fact, felt like jelly as she slowly walked out of the building and into the disappearing sunlight. It was faint enough to not sting her, but still warm enough to make her feel a little better. Suddenly she was standing in the middle of a railway, and she looked up, she saw him. In front of her stood Malivore. /span/p
