"Sometimes I think I would have been better off dead if I was never given to you."
The girl at the monkey with cold, dead, unreadable eyes. She hated him. She hated him so much. She was never given the chance at a normal life, killed at the age of 1...
I open my eyes and I'm met with darkness. It feels...cold. I call out the names of my friends but I'm only met with the sound of silence. I walk around trying to find something or someone but there's nothing here but darkness. I faintly hear my name being called. The voice sends shivers down my spine. I decide to head towards the voice since there is nothing else. I walk deeper and deeper into the darkness. My body is freezing now. I can't feel my fingers. I can't feel anything. I'm completely numb. The voice stops and I look in front of me. It's... floating facial features... eyes with bags, and freckles. Those eyes... they look just like mine. Now that I'm thinking about it that voice sounded like me too just...scarier. The face starts moving away quickly I follow after it. I try to yell "stop" but I can't speak. It's like my voice is gone. I fall into a hole and once I stand up I see...Redson.
"Redson! Thank god! I have no idea where I am!"
Redson turns around except it's not Redson... his kind eyes have been replaced with bright red ones.
"STUPID PEASANT, YOU NEED TO LEARN WHO YOU'RE SUPIOR IS! BULL CLONES ATTACK!"

I scream and cover my face with my arms waiting for the impact, but it never came. Red smoke fills the area where the fake Redson was. I run away further into the darkness but bump into a surprisingly fluffy surface. The bump knocks me to the ground. I look up and see...Dad? No, not him...Anybody but him! I cover my eyes as I start to cry from the sight of him.
"You should have stayed buried."

Frozen in shock I sit there as he turns into more red smoke. I try to move my limbs but I can't anymore. I feel a presence behind me.
"I can see your still the same weakling you were before except before you were a human... What's your excuse now?"

"STOP IT, STOP IT!!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE!!!" Many voices fill my head at the same time.
"Weak"
"Crybaby"
"Useless"
"Pathetic"
"Waste of space"
"Disappointment
"EVIL"
The last one stood out the most. I'm not evil. I've never done anything evil in my life! I see a man standing in front of me he offers his hand and I use it to stand up. The man has brown hair... the same color as mine. He's as pale as snow just like me. We look the same except for gender and that his eyes are glowing red. He pulls me into a hug. It feels...nice and warm.
"You're so grown up now. My beautiful daughter." The man has tears in his eyes and a warm smile on his face. "Daughter?!?! Sir I think you have me confused with another girl! Sure we have the same hair and skin color but that's it! Our eyes aren't even the same!" The man pulls out a mirror and makes it face me.
"Are you sure about that dear?" I take the mirror and my eyes, bags, and even freckles are the same...just like those floating facial features.

"I don't understand... Wukong told me you were cruel...but you seem so nice." He pats my head "That's because I am nice dear!" I look around "Where are we?"
"We are in your mind, but to you this counts as a dream."
"Why have I never seen you in the real world then?"
"I have been falsely imprisoned. Wukong told everyone that I had killed your mother when in reality it was him who killed her."
"Wukong...Killed my mother?"
"Indeed."
"What's all this glowing red stuff?"
"Great question my dear! This is your power! I'm very impressed. Normally it takes a thousand years to even get a glimpse of this power. Yours is completely overwhelming."
"Impressed...with me?" My eyes light up like stars.
"Now listen closely. We don't have much time before you wake up. Your powers are extremely uncontrollable and can and most likely will hurt you. I don't want that to happen to my only child."
I nod my head as I listen. "Now your powers activate when you-"
And then I woke in a cold sweat. Amazed by also terrified by these new powers...
