The girl opened her eyes .
Her body felt unusually heavy, bulkier.
She felt warmer, strange black feathers brushing against her back, wrapping protectively around her.
She was drifting through a fathomless abyss, the limbo in between the worlds of the living and dead, the land of memories. The line had blurred. She was neither truly dead nor alive.
The girl could not see much,except for a faint blue glow emanating from her.
Things...flitted past her,brushing ,but never in sight.
She could not recall why she was here,how she got here. Her arms moved involuntarily, rubbing her face,wiping the weariness away.
She paused.
Wait a minute, these aren't my clothes.
She lifted her arms, scrutinising the sleeves.
Those red hearts look strangely familiar,but I can't think strai-
Corasan!
That name popped in her head. The name brought feelings of comfort and safety. Names have power. Names invoke Sensations, feelings, both in the owner, and the speaker . It didn't have to be their given name,it could be nicknames or titles, and still be just as important.
The girl knew this name was important,
She reached out blindly,trying to feel for him.
Her mind knew it was important to find him.
"Corasan! Corasan! Where are you?" She cried out. But the words did not ring out. It was flat ,muted.
A flash of white light shone through her blue glow but disappered in a blink of an eye.
Silence
She was scared.
Everytime she visited Limbo, there were usually souls inhabiting this area,awaiting the next stage of their fate, reminscing there previous lives.
"Corasan? Corasan!"
Her voice increased in urgency
Silence
Oh the suppressing silence was crushing her,crushing her hope and her spirits.
Little girl,see,I told you it was futile.
Those words popped into her head,leaving a vile,oily taste in her mind.
"No. No,no,no,no." She whimpered.
Yes, I'm back .
The silence, the cruel silence, didn't just bring the despair,it brought him back to.
"Go away", she whispered weakly.
I told you this would happen. If only you had stayed with me. You wouldn't be stuck here.
You're nothing.
It whispered, its voice a serpent,slithering,coiling around her.
Nothing nothing nothing nothingnothing
nothing nothing nothing no nothingnothing nothing nothing nothingnothing nothingstop it nothing leave nothing nothing nothing nothingnothing nothing go away nothingnothing nothing nothing nothingnothing nothing
voice in waves,consuming her-
-head in hands, screaming out-
Useless stupid girl you tried to escape,but you didn't run far enough. Tried to run,but you didn't hide well enough. I'm gonna find you .I'm gonna find you and you'll be in hell my dear.
-tighten, stranglehold-
The girl, friendless, hopeless, all alone with a monster in her mind, unable to escape ,curled up and wept.
