"Focus!" Pitch yelled at Alicia. She was not enjoying this training.
He was teaching her to always be one step ahead and what better way to train than with the shadows?
She felt a Fearling attack and jumped out of the way. She then kicked him hard enough to make it turn to dust. She breathed heavy and didn't expect another Fearling from behind that hit her hard.
She landed hard and groaned. "Pathetic, couldn't even feel it" Pitch sneered.
You were not the one falling. She thought at him and stood up. She didn't recall but her eyes started glowing in its light blue color.
Another Fearling came at her but she kicked him head on. Another one appeared behind her and she dodged it but was hit by another one. Her eyes shimmered more with blue.
Alicia growled silently. "You're not concentrating!" Pitch yelled. She felt something sting her in the chest. It started to burn and she felt a tinge of anger leak through.
I'll show you concentrate! She thought. A group of Fearlings were approaching. Her eyes glowed bright blue and a wind picked up.
Pitch's eyes widened when a gust of wind blew in. Alicia floated from the ground as the wind blew rapidly once more and the Fearlings were hit by spikes of black sand.
Then her eyes closed shut and she fell unconscious.
It was dark and she could see that she was in a forest, at night. She jumped in surprise when the moon shone on her and waited for the pain but none came.
She looked up confused by the moon but it only shone on her. Then there was a snap of a twig and her eyes shot towards the forest.
She looked around warily for any sign of what that had been. A pair of eyes appeared out of the darkness but they were strange.
They looked like a reptile's eye and glowed yellow. Then they suddenly turned red and an evil smile emerged.
The moon and its beam also turned red and started to burn her once more. Her skin turned red with blisters and she winced.
She couldn't scream at the pain or escape the light. It burned her and a few tears slipped from her eyes as she lay.
There was laughter of a...woman's? Alicia wasn't sure but the laugh and the yellow reptile eyes was the last thing she remembered before she went back into unconsciousness.
Alicia's eyes snapped open. She breathed hard and sweat trailed off of her forehead. She choked a breath when a sharp pain came from her chest. She groaned and looked around.
How did I get here? She wondered. I remember fighting and being mocked by Pitch and then...argh.
She sighed and ran her hand through her hair. It turned into a habit when she was confused.
She sighed and lay down on the bed. She hated this. The darkness, the pain, the despair. No light to drive it away, no light to bring happiness. Although she couldn't feel, didn't mean she couldn't see it.
She was brought out of her thoughts when the stinging pain worsened and she bit her lip.
I need to get out of here. She thought and then closed her eyes but didn't sleep.
