Im so glad about the reviews! I wont name anyone specific so I can be a bit fair. Anyways plz enjoy!

Rein's POV

I felt a sense as though I was falling endlessly. I feel like I've been here before... I thought. I slowly opened my eyes. As I stared at the black open space in front of me I realized that I was inside the darkness again. My vision was still a bit blurred though. It's so cold. Out of instinct I started running away. I wasn't sure where I was running but I didn't stop. All my mind thought about was getting out of this place. But as I ran I bumped into some kind of invisible bar. As I tried to outline its shape I was able to see a dim light. I tried to reach for it but it got farther and farther away. Don't leave me behind! I tried to reach out for it. But the bars started to close me in. Eventually it formed a giant cage around me. I want to be free! I thought s I tried to reach for it. But it was never in a reachable distance.

"You can't escape. I have already tried countless times." said a voice. I turned around to see Quest sitting on the ground leaning against the other side of the bar. "This cage was created by the shadows to make us suffer. It's inescapable. No matter what you do the darkness will continue to haunt you."

"T-That can't be. There has to be someway to escape!" I said.

"There isn't any way to escape. You can't run away or hide because the shadows will always find you. They won't stop until you have completely lost sight of the light." he said slowly. He was sitting with his knees in front of his body. His face buried in them. I walked next to him and slid down the bar of the cage.

"How did you end up in this place? I thought you were suppose to bring darkness to worlds not be consumed by it." I said. He never replied after a long silence. I pouted. As I sat in the cage I looked at it. It was the exact shape of a bird cage. When I caught another glance at Quest I noticed that there were glowing things around his wrist and feet. They were transparent but very visible. I realized that they were chains.

"You finally noticed that chains." Quest said as he looked up.

I nodded and asked, "What do they symbolize?"

He paused a moment. Then said, "They are the reason we are trapped in this cage. They are filled with our regrets, our sadness, our sorrow, our fears. They symbolize our source of suffering and are the reason our wings can't grow. This is the burden you must share alone. They are the reason we can't be free." When he said that I noticed it around my wrist too. They were also around my ankles. They were cold and heavy. When I noticed them I started to hear voices.

'Such a disappointment.'

'Useless girl.'

'She can never be accepted.'

'Don't go near her.'

'She's a monster.'

'She was the cause of her parents' death.' The last statement echoed through my head. I remembered the day my parents had died.

It was a cold night. Fine and I were sitting at the porch with our parents watching the stars.

'See how brightly the star glows? Once people die they can become a star in the sky.' mama said as she pointed towards the sky. Both of us stared in awe.

'The stars will always be in the sky watching over us.' papa said.

Fine started to cry and said, 'Why are you telling us this?! Does this mean you are going to become stars in the sky too!?"

'N-No Fine. That's not what we meant. But even if we did become stars in the sky we would always be watching over you.' papa replied while placing Fine on his lap. Fine fell asleep quickly and I watched mama and papa took her inside. But I continued to sit outside staring at the stars. Heavy clouds rolled in and the light that shown upon everything disappeared. But I saw a moving black figure in front of me.

'We have been searching for you...' it said in a scary voice. I wasn't sure what it was but I couldn't move from my position. I sat there paralyzed and scared. It tried to attack me.

'REIN!' my parents yelled. They blocked the shadows and it started to consume them.

'Mama! Papa!' I yelled as I ran towards them.

'Rein, stay back!' mama yelled.

'It's to dangerous! Get back inside and wait for us there!' papa yelled. I stood there frozen. I wasn't sure if I should go inside or try and help them. But I decided to help them. I ran towards them and grabbed their hands.

'I don't want to leave you behind!' I yelled. They stared at me and smiled gently.

'We're sorry Rein.' they said. Then they pushed me away. I ended up bumping my head and fell unconcious. When I awoke, I couldn't remember anything.

The next day, a neighbor reported that our parents were missing. The police found no clues. The cause of death was considered murder by the police since their bodies were not found.

I came back to my senses. I realized I was crying. "It was the shadows fault that my parents died! It was them that attacked us that night!" I yelled. I looked down at the floor I was sitting on and said, "No, by my fault... My parents... I couldn't save them... should have been me..." I choked on my tears. I couldn't stop crying. Now that I knew what had happened I knew it was also possible for that to happen to my friends and family.

"The darkness will forever haunt you. This is the burden you must carry alone. Same for me. As long as we continue to stay in here we will eventually forget everything we once knew. We will forget everything we once loved." he said quietly. He said something else but I didn't hear him.

Quest placed his hand gently on mine in a comforting way. It was awkward but I knew he was trying to comfort me.

I will forget... everything? I thought as I kept crying.

I will most likely hav the next chapter up by tomorrow. There most likely will be two parts to dis. Anyways plz review! Also can someone tell me wat R&R means? I keep thinking it means Review&Review but that makes no sense to me so yeah... Can someone tell me?
