Heterochromia

Prologue

Darkness. That's all she had ever seen for as long as she could remember, sinking further and further into the black abyss she had grown to call a home. It was warm and cold, the seemingly small space was infinite; every so often you could hear bubbles from afar but never quite reach them, but overall the void was very lonely and very very quiet. There laid a girl, was it even a girl? Was it human at all? Not even "it" was sure...

A single scream could be heard for miles as it echoed through what seemed to be a room. The room was made up of black and white walls, none of them daring to go over each other's border like an eternal agreement. In the inbetween of it all flowed a river with an odd greyish hue, a conflict of the two walls that were seamlessly drawing me in; a symbol of decision. Whispers could be heard though it was quiet. Only now had I realised where I was. My clothes were heavy and stained with water and a thicker substance. The strange liquid had been infecting the water's greyish hue with its red one, pushing and dragging itself to one of the walls despite the river's flow. The liquid seemed familiar to me. Suddenly it had stopped as if it was yearning for me to follow it. As I stood up, my hands began to shake. A lump grew on my throat as I became more weary of my surroundings. My head began to spin as nausea took over my body. Noise started banging on my ear drums and my shaking turned into tremuring. What was happening to me?! I felt myself fixated on it.

The smell of what had to have been coming from the red substance that poured from my body. I felt myself incapable of moving. No matter what I wanted or whatever force was propelling me forward; I couldn't move. My breathing quickened as pressure began to toy with my head. The silence of the room now overtaken by a singular heartbeat that felt as though it were trying to escape its boney cage. My eyes grew wide as my surroundings began to darken... That's when I heard it. A voice spoke to me, my heart sank as shivers went down my eerily cold body. Who were they? Is all I could gather the strength to think about. I felt it feeding on my weak state despite not paying attention to what they were saying; the dread in my heart felt suffocating. All these things all at once... what was this place, this place of however much danger it holds. I couldn't understand, not now. With that everything had stopped. Before I could tell what was going on it all went dark. My body was on the ground feeling my eyelids grow heavier by the second, my light body couldn't take the uneasy feeling that towered over me. The feeling of helplessness, I couldn't handle it anymore as I gave in to the darkness.
