"Wake up, child."
Huh? Who are you?
Espresso looks around warily. Pitch black. The room,
It was cold. Moist but dry, he could feel water yet the floor was stone.
Where was he? Why couldn't he see a damned thing?
He wrapped his arms around himself. His ears perked up at the sound of footsteps. Echoing footsteps rapidly gaining speed. Espresso whipped around, terrified.
"Who are you?" the sound of his own voice rang in his ears but his mouth did not open and his throat produced no sound.
"Open your eyes."
His eyes? Had they been closed this entire time? When had he closed them in the first place?
"Open your eyes."
His senses suddenly came flooding back to him. He knows this voice. Dark Enchantress....?
No, this woman felt different.
Espresso's eyes snapped open. He was.... sitting on a log? In a forest?
But when had he gone into a forest? Had he not just been in the Vanilla Kingdom, held captive for questioning? Was that all just a dream? A fantasy, created by his own touch-starved mind? Had his siblings not been real? His 'mother'?
It can't be all fake, it must be real. He had it all, a l̸̩̣̩͔̉͛̑̾̋͗̌͠ơ̴̖̳̹̣̹̝̗̄̿̀͜͝v̸̡̦̔̿i̴̡̝̪̞͕̬͖̰̓͂̌͝n̷̛͈̼͍̲̞̣̅̆̐̆̍̚ģ̶̲̭̞͇̖̻̘͋͊̐͐͗͘ͅ family!
