Before me stands a glowing sea with the sun setting into the horizon, my feet touching the sand, sinking in like the world itself is trying to pull me in so subtly. Behind me, a strangely familiar female voice could be heard,
"Finally accepting yourself?"
I look over confused, trying to place the origin of the voice. I see, standing at the area of the voice, a little girl with blue skin, and long purple hair. Behind this child is what seems to be an endless expanse of darkness. After absorbing the darkness, my attention moved to the girl's face. That's when I noticed her sclera were black as her pupils, Her iris had a light lilac glow. The bridge of her nose was a tiny bit thicker just like the bottom of her nose. Her lips held a darker blue than her skin color, Her cheeks lit up pink when she put up a smile upon me looking at her. I know this girl, I know her name, her race, her age, her family, and her residence; I know all this, because this girl is me. I look at what appears to be myself as I question who I am. The person that looks to be in my shape walks ahead of me into the ocean. I turned around to see where she was going. As soon as my body made the movement, the light in the sky had turned violet purple as the sun had disappeared. The shape in my form continues walking away from me as I notice, there are four figures floating in the distance. I cannot look at the faces of these people yet I gain a feeling of warmth in my heart from them. Right then and there my body began to sink into the ground. I started panicking and trying to move out to not sink fully but nothing could stop myself from falling further and further in. I reached out to the copy of myself, they looked at me as I sank deeper and deeper with a face of disgust as they finally spoke to me before fully descending
"Pathetic."
Once everything turned to black, everything felt silent for a bit. Seemingly out of nowhere I hear a whisper of something, I can't quite figure out what they are saying but once hearing immediately I am shown flashing images of a destroyed world, wastelands and collapsed societies. Similar to the beach that I was on, the sky was purple. I had no physical form but seeing these images had brought out a feeling of fear; what is going on? My vision then turns straight back to black. A voice calls out to me, Not a voice I can recognize.
"Namea."
I am then brought into an area shrouded in darkness. I look down at my hands and then my body, it looks distorted. trying to look around more I notice a man in the distance in dark robes. His face I cannot see as it is obscured by his hood. He puts his hand out towards me and within the instant of a blink he ends up right in front of me. He then reaches his finger out to my forehead.
"You will bring salvation to this world. The lives of those who you will love, and the lives of those who share the same affliction as you. Their lives will be all up to how you use this power you are receiving."
His words don't make any sense as he takes his hand away from my forehead, suddenly a warmth grows in my body and my form begins to clear up. The man in front of me fades away as his voice lets out a final sentence before waking up.
"Bring us to a world of freedom, my queen."
In a rush, I gasp for air and sit up where I was sleeping.
"Just a dream, thank god."
I swipe the sweat off of my face while Looking around myself. I am propped up to a building behind me and I am next to an almost broken box. There is a building in front of me reminding me that I had fallen asleep in an alleyway. My whole body aches as sleeping on concrete floor was definitely not good for me. The sky is filled with dark clouds, not sure what time it is.
"Oh right, I ran off last night. Well, time to go home for now and hope for the best."
I get up from the floor, and dust off any dirt from sleeping on the ground. Once getting up I stretch my body so that I don't end up hurting myself while on my way back home. I walk out of the alleyway slowly as my body still aches, the light of the sun slightly bursting through a crack in the clouds just now hitting me as I exit the alleyway. People walking by stare at me with disgust as they move quicker than they were before seeing me. A woman who had walked passed me spit on me as she passed by me.
"Fucking devil."
Her words felt empty as I let out a sigh and say to myself.
"Just another day."
I begin walking back in the direction of my house as people around avoid me like a plague.
"Get out of this town, filth."
"I want to vomit at the sight of you."
"Why the hell do you even exist, wasteful."
The words of these people as I walk by begin to cut deep into me the more I hear it. I try to speed up to distract myself from the words. Out of nowhere, a man's foot was set out in my path to trip me, as I fall onto the ground, I hear a few men laughing in the distance. I look around and people begin to stare at me. Looks of hate, disgust, fear, sadness. A man who is partially in the back of the crowd, stares at me with a smile, I can't see the rest of his face besides his nose and what's below as it is being covered by a dark purple cloak. Once staring at him a pulsing pain flows through my body as I feel the stress of everyone surrounding me, the possibility that one of them might act on their impulses. I immediately get up and with panic, run the rest of the way home. Eventually I end up home, I stop at the front door to catch my breath.
"finally, I'm home."
Still trying to break the grogginess and thoughts of that weird dream I open the door. Once opening I am greeted by my mother who has beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes at the dining table and my younger sister, who is sitting next to her as they both seem to be eating something.
"Namea!"
My eight year old sister who shares almost the same physical traits as me immediately runs up to me and hugs me.
"I missed you so much, I don't want you to leave us."
After she spoke, my sister Tightens her hug.
"I'm not going anywhere, for now at least."
I look towards my mother as she looks at me with a sad face,
"Your father left in a rage a bit after you left, he hasn't returned since."
I look at her and pat my sister's head as I gently break her off of me and move near my mom to the dining table and sit in front of her.
"Mom, I don't think I can put up with this any longer. He only sees us as an evil being who threatens the world with some unknown power that he doesn't even know exists. I've already decided, once I turn 15 I am going to start working, so that then I can take Lynn into a home where we don't have to be in fear every time we leave the room."
My mother looked down and sighed.
"You should do what you think is right, Right now there isn't much we can do since he provides for us, mostly out of consideration for me. "
After mother had finished speaking, I can faintly hear footsteps arriving towards the door, for that split second the thought of it being my father put me in a trance until the door had opened, revealing that it was indeed my father at the other end of the door. His tan hand opening the door had brought the world to a stand still as my heart began to speed up faster and faster. I want to leave, I want to get out of here but all I can do is stand here in a paralysis. All of a sudden, I was brought out of this state when my mom had grabbed my hand and looked at me. Still not able to speak I just glare at her and then look back at my father.
"What the hell are you looking at, disgusting devil."
The words that come out of his mouth send my entire body into a shiver as I immediately grab Lynn as a fight or flight reaction and run past him outside.
Once again I ran, ran as far as I could, I don't ever want to see that man ever again; Not until I can show him that I'm not just a devil. The people around me gasp in horror at the sight of me as I sprint past them with all that I can. As I continued running, the buildings of the town started to disappear as I entered the forest. I try to slow down and catch my breath but Immediately I run face first into what seemed to be an invisible surface. Everything around me started to get blurry, I could hear only the muffled sounds of my sister calling out to me. As I start to slowly fall to the ground. I see a distorted figure in the distance running towards me as my vision turns completely to black.
