[center]It's dark.[/center]
I open my eyes look around. For the first few seconds, my sight
struggles to adjust to the darkness as I stand and rub my head.
I start to see faces, faces of unfamiliar people. Some carry
weapons, some have pets, and some just stand there, immobile.
They all stare at me.
[center]I'm so confused.[/center]
No one speaks for the first few minutes of my awakening. I begin
to wonder how long I've been asleep, if you could call it that,
and how I got here. I search for answers in the eyes of my
company. None surface. At this point, I'm almost begging one of
them to speak, but on a subconscious level I know I must be the
one to break the silence; I don't want to admit it.
[center]They want me to speak.[/center]
"H-hello?" I oblige. They take in my greeting, seem to analyze
it. I must have shown fear. Their expressions do not change. I
must say more. I barely muster the strength to whisper, "Who are
you?"
[center]The crowd parts.[/center]
An old man with a pet, a white wolf, steps through the path and
stand in front of me. He examines me for a moment before licking
his lips in preparation to speak.
"Young girl," he says in a soft but dignified voice, "we all
have stories to tell. Yours just began." Lightning marks his
words, followed by the crash of thunder to accent the mood.
[center]It began to rain. The storm had begun.[/center]
