I gained consciousness is a pure black void, like I had many times before. Unlike every other time I had woken up in that room, I was lacking a feeling I had grown so accustomed too. My body felt paralyzed and numb, but even still, I forced my neck to move. I couldn't put my finger on the missing feeling even though it was so obvious it was missing. Nothing was around me; just the same old scenery. I went back to looking forward; like all the other times I could remember, red eyes were staring at me. Just as I guessed, chanting began to come from all directions. Quite at first, picking up in volume by the second. I finally realized what feeling was missing.

I wasn't afraid. I didn't have some feeling of impending doom, I didn't even fear the thing that was in front of me; I just was annoyed. I tried to move my leg but, unlike my neck, it wouldn't move. Despite that, I continued to push. It didn't feel like my leg was paralyzed, in fact, I could flex leg muscle. It felt like I was pushing against the force of a thousand men. I still continued to push; I could feel my face become red because of how hard I was pushing. Out of curiosity, I glanced down at my leg. Parts of it "flickered" in and out of existence; disappearing before reappearing right in front of me. Other parts flew off my leg, going off into the distance, before flying back on to it. While this did creep me out, I wasn't detoured from pushing.

It took all the effort I had and even more, but I was able to push through the invisible boundary holding me back. A loud bang echoed through the void, making my ear's ring, and my jacket flew up as if wind had suddenly blown it up. After adjusting my jacket, I noticed something. My leg had stopped "flickering," but now the air around it was; each "flicker" varied in color. Minus the chanting, the void was usually very silent. Now though, not only was the chanting gone but there were also noises all around me. I was confused at first because where they were coming from, but then the void started to fade. The only thing that stayed was the red eyes; I still couldn't see the body that owned them.

The void faded into a scene I had never seen before. A long dining table in a huge hall sat in front of me, it was covered in an array of silverware and decoration. A lizard-like creature sat at one of the ends of the table; he wore a white button-up shirt, a black suit jacket was on the floor next to him. He was frozen in time, as was his surroundings, staring at something on his plate with wide eyes and a smile. I couldn't make out what it was but one thing was for sure, a huge white beam was coming out of it. Next to him was a glass box; Marco and Star sat in it, holding each other like it was life or death. They too were frozen. Monsters of all sizes sat in the corner of the room, huddled together. The red eyes sat next to the lizard creature, it's owners figure now clear.

I was still taking it all in when I heard something that almost made me jump. "This is what would've happened if you never existed," a male voice said. I glanced around the room for an owner, but there was only one thing that could've said it; the red eyes. The figure of the red eyes began to walk around the room; I still couldn't make any features from it. "No one would have gotten hurt, everything would have gone as plan." The thing stopped, a chuckle coming from it as it did. "But, of course." They looked me dead in the eyes. "You exist." It raised it's hand before a loud snapping echoed through the room, a flash of white following it.

It didn't take long for the white to vanish. I was in the same room, time was still frozen, but a few things had changed. For one, the lizard creature wasn't sitting in a chair anymore. The lizard was on top of me, a sword through his chest, on the floor; I had also appeared. He held the thing producing the white beam in his hands, it was Star's wand. He seemed to be mid-laugh with a manic smile across his face, blood gushing out of his chest and onto me. Even though that was all happening, my frozen self wasn't looking at him. No, he was looking towards the box with sad eyes. That made me look there too.

Like last time, Star and Marco were in the box, but Kate was with them too. They weren't holding each other; they were holding Kate. They all looked out at my frozen self with the same sad eyes. The red eyes appeared next to my frozen self. "Because of your existence, much more pain is involved here." He looked over at the box. "Especially for her." Was he talking about Star, or Kate? I thought.

I looked at him, slightly confused. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Everyone besides the lizard creature looks fine."

He chuckled. "Take a closer look into the box."

I gave him a weird stare before slowly approaching the box. It was definitely some sort of glass. Nothing looked bad at first, but then I realized. Kate's entire left arm was gone, blood gushing out of the cut. Cuts and bruises covered everyone's faces. The figure walked next to me. I turned to him, his body was visible but his face was still covered in shadow. He wore a buttoned-up suit jacket with black dress pants, a tie hanged from his neck. Judging by his pale skin, he was obviously human. He put his hand on my shoulder, it was so cold that it penetrated my clothes. "Your sister suffers a lot today." He looked towards Kate, I did the same. I just noticed the tears in her eyes. "Not only does she think she loses you, but she also loses her arm."

I turned back to him. "I can... change this, right?"

He shook his head as he took his hand off my shoulder. "I'm afraid not." He looked at me. "You're destiny is written in stone."

I tried to take all of this in, but I just couldn't. There 's no way I couldn't prevent this, if this was actually real, anyway. I took a few steps back from him. "No, you're wrong! People decided there destiny, not follow it!"

He continued to look at me, his eye almost sad. "If that is what you believe, you're welcomed to try." He turned back to Kate, a chuckle. "Don't be surprised when nothing changes."

I was going to say more, ask more, but the world began to shake and...

"Landin!" Star shouted as I felt my body be violenty shook.

My eyes shot open as I took deep breaths. "I'm awake!" I almost shouted. I glanced around the room, realizing where I was as I started to calm down "I'm awake," I said at normal volume. I glanced over at my clock. "Star, it's 10:00 PM." I turned back to her. "Why'd you wake me up?"

Star was almost shaking as I saw the fear in her eyes. "It's... Marco and Kate... they were..." she could barely get her words out because of how fast she was breathing.

I sat up and made her sit on my bed. "Woah, calm down Star." I gave her a few moments to recompose herself. "What's up?" I eventually asked.

She shook her head a few times while she looked at the floor. "It's Marco and Kate..." She looked up at me. "They were kidnapped!"

A/N

Hey! I left you on a cliff-hanger. Chapters pretty short, but there's a reason for that. It's meant to lead up to the next chapter. We are approaching the end of "Season 1." Been quite a journey, huh? "Season 2" is going to be pretty different from the show, so expect that. I got some ideas, but if you guys want to see anything, go ahead and tell me; I'd be happy to add them. I'm changing the ending to The Moon of Lovers slightly. To summarize it quickly, Star and Marco still kiss, but instead of Tom ruining everything, it's Ludo and Toffee cause I have not included them enough in this fic. Comet will also make an appearance before everything goes down and her and Landin will talk for a bit. Next chapter will not take that long, I have most of it written, so see you then!
