"Cold" Leia breathed the cold air that stung her nose as she opened her eyes to a dark surrounding.

       

        

Her heart skipped a beat as she hurried to her feet upon realising she was in the middle of a graveyard. She took steps forward and heard the crisp sound of snow crushing under her feet.

       

"Everyone..."

          

Her terror filled eyes burned as tears rolled down every time she blinked. She heard people whispering prayer and cries of children and women even though she was the only living being present there while the leaves, the flowers, the birds all lay dead on the ground.

      

She started running, for how long she didn't know. Her eyes caught sight of a man digging as she stopped to breathe.
      

     

Reluctant, she made her way to the man who was humming a happy tune as he dug the ground.

     

"Sir?" Leia's heart raced as she mustered up all her courage to speak to the man who looked at her with squinted eyes but then started smiling.

      

"Whatcha doin' here young lady? Not much of a place for ya to be," He put his shovel on the side and sat down on a grave near the one he was digging.

      

"Do you know how I can get out of here?"

      

"Outta here? The exit's right o'er there ain't it?" He pointed to a tall tree where Leia saw no possible way of getting out.

     

"Where?"

      

"There's a gate there... Don't ya see it young lady?....... Oh, ya... Ya didn't come in y'rself?"

      

"No sir, I... I don't really-" and before the girl could complete what she had to say a bright light blinded her and then a torch flashed in her eyes.

     

"I see you're conscious again," a young boy in all black stared at her as she straightened her posture trying not to seem scared. She couldn't see his face but his voice was strangely familiar.

      

"Do you not speak?" He asked.

     

"I do," she replied. Her eyes fell on the old man who was digging recently, now bowing making a 90° angle towards the boy.

      

"Do you know how I can get out of here? And where my friends are?"

      

"Get out? You can't" he chuckled. "And about your friends, you'll see them in a moment."

    

The silence broke as the man's phone rang.
"Keep an eye on her," he pointed "And warm her up before she dies."

      

"Yes Prince Asher" he bowed again and quickly pulled the blanket that was hanging on the tree.

       

"Follow me," the Prince gestured as he came back to her after ending the call.

     

Asher stopped after a five minutes walk and Leia saw a woman standing there with a ball of light hovering over her palm. She threw the ball of light upwards and moved aside while the light went forward revealing chained people.
"I brought them."

     

     

"Ayane..." She looked at the girl in an extremely thin tent dress just like hers except Leia's was ink black and her friend stood in pure white.

     

She looked at everyone and the boys just like Ayane, stood like petrified statues, but one of them was missing. "Sunghoon... Thank God he's safe at least..."

   

  

"What have you done to my friends!?" She shouted at the two people who were busy quarrelling with eachother. "Sunghoon...?" 
It was Sunghoon but she couldn't call him, she couldn't say his name out loud.

 
"Lily, bring the goblet," he said.

"Bring your arm forward," he said as be walked towards the girl.

      

Leia did so and the moment he took hold of it, he cut it with a glass like dagger. She didn't feel any pain but she heard herself scream as tears started falling making her face even more cold.

The girl put the goblet under Leia's wrist where the blood was still falling.

"Now drink,"

Leia screamed as she woke up with a start. She looked around the dark place that stank of fungus making her sigh in relief."Thank God," she smiled as she hadn't dreamt in forever.

She couldn't dream, she didn't remember having nightmares or fantasy dreams. The only thing she saw in her sleep was the everyday life of her and the people close to her, that was her secret.
But for a change, she was excited, she wanted to have a normal life too.
