I'm editing my chapters a little so yeah... enjoy.

-Y/n P.O.V.-

I woke up gasping for air.

The burning sensation in my chest made me feel as if I where dying.

I felt as if there was water filling my lungs.

I started coughing until I thought I was going to through up. I spit out the water that came back up. I felt the burning in my lungs.

Taking large breathes to try and regain my power, I sat up a bit and tried to calm myself, closing my eyes and focusing on my breathing patterns.

''Where am I'' I thought.

I looked at my surroundings.

Darkness.

All I saw was darkness. The only source of light was the small lights running along the walls of wherever I was.

I felt around for something, anything. All I could feel was the cold metal against my skin. I heard screeching coming for somewhere, like metal against metal. It felt as though I was moving upwards.

I didn't realize it, but I was moving upwards.

This realization only gave me more questions.

"Where was I?"

"Where was I going?"

"Why was I here?"

My eyes got used to the dark room I was in and, I was right, I was in some type of box thing. It was only a small little room, only about 5 feet by 5 feet, not at all tall enough for any person to stand straight in. It was moving quite quickly up towards who knows where.

I tried my best to think of what I was doing in this scary box, but I couldn't think of a reason.

Wait.

I couldn't think of anything. Not even a name. My mind was a complete blank slate. No face, name, moment before the box, nothing.

More questions seemed to come to me, adding onto the list.

"Who was I?"

"Where did I come from?"

"Who put me here?"

I started to breath heavily, my mind was so full of questions, but no answers for any of them. My mind was so full, but so empty all at the same time.

I was overthinking the memories I seemed to not have.

A strange feeling started forming in my stomach, like a knot right in the center of it.

My body tightened to where I couldn't move. I started to panic, my breath becoming more and more hitched and my palms getting sweaty, my whole body was shaking.

''What's happening?''

''Where am I?''

''Who am I?''

''Do I have a name?''

"Is this some weird dream?"

All good questions. Those and many more questions swirled in my head like a tornado. I was still panicking and suddenly, my eyes closed. Not voluntarily, like something told me to do it. I stated talking deep breathes and trying to focus on anything else but the war going on in my mind.

I put my knees to my chest and rested my head on my knees, giving myself a sort of hug of some kind. I couldn't help it, I was scared, the position came naturally to me. Like I had gone through this before.

The thoughts where still running through my mind, but I couldn't pinpoint one to focus on one.

I tried to focus on anything around me, the cool air that gave me the chills, the scent of rust and metal, the seemingly distant sounds of screeching metal. I was hyper focused on everything and nothing all at once and it was sending my body into a sort of shock.

I tried my best to control my mind and breathing. I tried to count and time my breathes.

In for three.

Repeat.

After a long time of doing so, I finally felt a little calmer and opened my eyes and started looking around again.

I didn't know what was happening to me, all I knew was I was moving upwards in a small box, had no memories of anything and I was surrounded by... creates? I don't know how I didn't notice before, probably because I was too busy freaking out over the situation I was currently in, but there where about 4 or 5 crates with me in the box.

Curious of what was inside of them, I tried to get up from the corner I was sitting in. As I tried to stand to go and inspect the creates a jolt from the box stopped me from what I was doing, I fell right back down with a hard thump. The jolt had sent my flying upwards and I hit my head then fell onto the floor.

Looking around once more, holding my head from the pain of the hit, I looked up.

The box I was in had stopped moving.

The lights that where before a red colour, turned a green. Scaring me from the sudden change, I visibly jumped

Now scared of moving from my spot, I sat there, not knowing what else to do in the situation. I never even noticed the fact that I was bleeding from my head. I must have bumped it when I crashed into the metal of the weird box.

The adrenaline from everything soon died down and I could feel the pain on my head. I pulled my hand from my head to see it covered in a warm red liquid, blood.

I guess I got hit harder then I thought.

From my sitting position, I looked around the room at the creates, seeing as at this point, I had nothing to lose I got on my knees and started crawling over to one of them.

But as soon as I got on both my knees my vision started to blur. I blinked a few times to try and clear up my vision but to no avail. I started to see black dots clouding my vision even more.

I tried hard to keep myself from falling into the darkness, but I couldn't, the loss of blood mixed in with the exhaustion I felt was overwhelming and I couldn't take it anymore. Before I knew it, I was falling into a deep sleep.

Falling to the ground before finally closing my eyes. Submitting to the darkness.
