Waking up, Sky found himself surrounded by darkness. He couldn't see anything.
"Hello?" Sky called out.
"Hello?" He tried again, while wondering where he was.
"Sky..." a whisper called from behind him.
Sky turned, but still couldn't see anything.
"Sky... where are you?" The voice called out again though this time, the voice sounded further away.
Sky started to walk in the direction the voice was coming from. The voice sounded vaguely familiar.
"Hello? Who's there?"
"Sky, I don't know where I am. I'm scared." The voice responded.
A light could be seen a little further away. It was hanging from the ceiling above a lump on the ground. Sky walked over to the lump only to find out that it wasn't a lump at all. It was a person.
Suddenly, Sky could hear thumping. The sound was getting quicker the closer he walked to the person on the ground. It wasn't until the person looked up at him, did he realize that the thumping was his own heart racing.
The person was Rain and he looked terrible. One of his eyes were swollen shut, the corner of his upper lip was busted open, and there were bruises around his neck.
"Oh my GOD! Rain, what happened to you?" Sky said as he got to his knees in front of Rain.
He reached his arms out to wrap around Rain, only for his arms to pass through him. Even though Rain was right in front of Sky, he couldn't grab him.
"Somebody kidnapped me. I don't know where I am. They had knocked me out and covered my head. But I hear them sometimes though the walls." Rain told Sky.
"Don't worry. I'll find you-"
"NO!" Rain interrupted Sky. "I don't know how I can talk to you right now, but you need to get to P'Payu and keep him away."
"What are you talking about?"
"These men kept talking about P'Payu and some sort of revenge. I don't know what they meant, but I don't want them to hurt him." Rain said.
"But what about you? Look at yourself."
"I don't care about me. As long as P'Payu is safe, that's all that matters."
A loud thud came from behind Sky.
"Have you finally gone crazy? Who the hell are you talking to in there?" A harsh voice called out.
"They're back." Rain whispered with a slight tremble in his voice.
A thud sounded again before the creak of a door opening could be heard through the darkness.
"Don't forget what I said, ok?" Rain whispered.
"No. I'm not leaving you." Sky said.
"I can't leave." Rain said while pointing to the chain wrapped around his ankle.
Slowly, the light above Rain started to dim. The room went back to being completely dark.
