Falling For A... (REWRITING)

Chapter 18 ~ Start Over

~_~_~_~_~_~

I open my eyes to be greeted by darkness. Was this a dream or am I dead? The only thing I can remember is when Kato was charging at me and then everything went black and still is...

I stand up from where I layed. Looking around this place, there is nothing but darkness. The " Floor " feels like I'm standing on water. Where am I? What is this place?

" Ailie! " A powerful voice was heard behind me.

I turn quickly to face the person behind this voice but instead I'm greeted by a little.. . Mermaid..? She had golden hair, a beautiful dark green tail and cloudy brown orbs. She's been crying. Her small hand covered a part of her face, you could see blood swimming in the water. I reach my hand out to touch the small being, she was hurt, she needed help.

" Ailie, quickly, come here child. " A soft voice came from behind me again.

The young mermaid looked up at me, her eyes were puffy from the crying. They were pleading for help, pleading for an escape. She reached out her other hand to reach mine. As they touched, the darkness disappeared and turned into a large marble hallway. Large columns lined the hallway and at the end there was a built merman.

" Ailie! " The same booming voice as before.

The small girl flinched. She hesitantly looked back. As her eyes landed on the merman at then end of the hallway she tugged on my hand as a silent saying of saying help me, save me from this man.

I look at her then at the merman at the end of the hallway. He starts moving forward, fast. My golden eyes widen before giving her hand a tight squeeze and run away from the man. But we don't make it far before I look back and see him behind me and the small mermaid and then everything went black again.

" Fay.. . Faylinn.. . Faylinn. ..! Faylinn..! Faylinn!!!! Faylinn!! " My eyes lazily opened as I lifted my arm to rub my eyes. " Faylinn wake up! Hurry up and wake up!! " The voice was a bit harsh but was worried, and it sounded lower then Łucy's voice. Wait, Łucy! I shot my eyes open and sat upright.

In front of me was an outcast, it's arm and legs out like a spiders, it's neck twisted backwards and its eyes, it's eyes were just blood red pupils, it's face was horrifying. Eye sockets were sunken in, it's nose wasn't their and it's lips were gone and showed needle like teeth. It hissed. I screamed.

As the outcast approached I did the next logic thing, I punched it, hard. Honestly, I think I killed it by punching it. Scrambling to my feet I grabbed my sword in its sheath and pulled it out. My heart was racing, my breathing was off, is there anything else that needs to give me a heart attack?

" Faylinn! Don't move!!! " A familiar voice said, more like shouting at me. Well, for the question to be answered the answer is yes. I slowly turn my head to the left, my eyes meet a blank face and sickening grin. My eyes go wide as plates for sure, my grip on my sword loosens and my body's starts to tremble. What is this?!

Just as I was going to scream a sword ran through the insane creature in front of me, it cried a painful cry before falling over to the side. My eyes travelled to the creature to the person who saved me, Kato. Why? He could have just let her die, and didn't he want that?!

" Come on, we don't have much time! " His hand reached out so I could grab his but I don't take it, instead I stare at it. He sighed angrily before grabbing my wrist and pulling me with him. " I said we don't have much time! Łucy is close by don't worry, plus the sooner we get out of here the better. " He said frustrated as he began to tug at my wrist when I was to slow.

I was tripping all over the place, I couldn't grasp on what was going on. One moment I'm looking for him, the other we're trying to kill each other to saving one another. Dear god, please tell me what's going on!

We continued walking, more like dragging me into the white forest but I notice a clearing in the distance, is that the meadow? Or is it something else? Kato mumbled something like ' We're here ' or ' It's Something to do with fantasy ' Honestly I don't know but all I knew is that he was dragging me there and I was going to find out what was going to happen.
