When I opened my eyes, I was standing up straight . The smell of wet road and mold filled my nose, making me immediately snap back into reality. I was surrounded by a wall, a stone wall that wrapped all around me. It was very wet and slimy, and the only light illuminating anything was from up above. It was as if I were at the bottom of a well. My bare feet were soaking in the water that filled to my ankles. I was never good with being in a small spacing, so I began to breathe heavily again.

How the hell did I get down here?

"Help!" I couldn't help but scream while touching the wall around me. "Is anyone up there?! Help!"

I hit the stone repeatedly while the small space felt like it was becoming smaller by the second.

"Please! Anyone!"

I couldn't yell anymore from lack of breath, but I wasn't giving up that easily. I took a deep breath, ready to yell again.

"Who's down there?"

My head shot up, and a boy was peering his head into the hole.

"I am!" I answered. "Please just get me out of here!"

"Stand back!"

I threw myself against one of the walls and watched a large bucket with a rope attached to it fall down in front of me. Out of instinct, I put my foot in the wooden bucket and held onto the rope tightly. I began to slowly arise from the ground and gracefully floated towards the light. Someone suddenly wrapped their arms around my waist and pulled me out of the hole.

"Are you alright?" They asked.

I looked at the caucasian boy with dark brown eyes and swift dirty blonde hair. His face was so soft, so unique looking. A boy was next to him, and they both looked as if they were some kind of royalty. They were dressed in nice boots, chinos, a button up and a nice vest to match. What topped it off was that they were wearing a 'royal' like crest on their vests and even had swords secured on their sides. But all their features were fading away as the world around me began to swirl and turn dark.

"Woah," He held my body from falling over. "Get her some water."

The boy ran off as my head began to pound insanely, and my eyelids almost refused to stay open. I was still staring at the boy, so I squeezed his shoulders while trying to regulate my breathing.

"Where am I?" I asked while looking around. "How'd I get here?"

My blurred vision wandered off to something that was behind him. It was a large castle with many towers added onto the top which were colored pink and blue.

"Melody..." He said softly, ending it with a smirk. "I'm Jackson."

I focused my full attention back on him, not understanding what just came from his mouth.

"How... How do you know my name?" I stuttered.

The other boy had come back with a plastic cup full of water.
