1st, was winter. A teenager walking down the hill, fingers frozen, no hair on her head, melancholic words in her ears, blood on her eyes.
Her world made up on words carved in ink, shadows around her her fellows.
When one of them spoke, shock it was.

What do you want from me? the guardian asked.

Blurred face, it reached one hand out in the void between them and then three of them there were.

I'm scared I confess. You ask, here's my answer: not talking to me, not seeing the real me, I'm a shadow too. Help me.

Gratitude, there came the lost one; her feelings slowly against her, none witnessed.

Who are we? Why we here?
I wanna see the real you.

So curled up in ourselves, under cover let's live.
What about trust if we don't even trust each other.

You never saw me, Blood hates us.
Help me.

2nd

Two sides, silence never helped. I'm scared to speak.
Will you make us company nevertheless?
No?

Relief. Alone we must be, so many shapes this confusion has made of myself, no space for anyone else.
Wondered why you left, what did you want from me then.
And you two too, where did the evil came from, how did we came so far?
Wanna see you never again, just leave me alone.
Just one of my shadows you spoke to.
Yes, bad on me it is.

3rd

Then light it was, the outer world, oblivion.
A pair of shining smiling eyes the way out. Help me. I'll help you too.
You worthy.

-

A demon tried to catch us, in time we made it out.

Woke up alone.

-

Those eyes who crossed path with me, was it a dream? My fault has been.
Gonna be none. So thin, I've fallen apart.
Let's truly live as shadows then.

-

In need? Here I am.

I need nothing but the light beneath me shining on you for you.
Pieces falling apart, dark is gonna help. Seek us there.
I smile to you, our eyes underneath my skin all on you too; you'd never imagine how wide my eyes are.

Not sure if trust this is, but here's my confusion. You strong enough?

Why no rest, no peace. Void to be filled's gonna be whole never again; seems I can't help you.

7th, let's walk away.
Last piece of help only admitted, didn't worked, messed everything up.
Spinning, spinning, spinning, I'm so tired I wanna rest.
Everything must stop, have mercy on me, please. Wrong. Something's been wrong all this time.
Must be me, the thought so silly, Her laugh scares me, it's me, so failure, no wonder.

Disgust. Feel nothing, must hide, disappear.
Don't you dare come out or Blood's gonna come too.
Why my head so fucked up, I ask in tears.
Solitude's so painful. Tiring.

Prologue?

Let's wait for the way out; a pair of hands will find us.
I need to be strong too, bear this pain.
Nevertheless, the feelings so strong I wanna them back.
I need myself back, not scared anymore. Wanna help live too.
