First person POV

Darkness. A confined place. Nothing.

That's what I woke up to. 'I'? Is that the right word? I'm not sure. I don't have much recollection of who I am at the moment.

I move a hand forwards, hoping to feel something to guide me. Instead, I push something open.

Light. Bright. Almost too bright.

My eyes take a moment to adjust to the now illuminated area. Once they do, I see something resembling a classroom in front of me, but something feels off. I cautiously take a step forward with numb legs. How long had I been in there?

I look around the classroom to see some vines covering the windows and the walls. The windows were also secured with barbed wire, for some reason. Was I in an abandoned school? If so, how did I get here? Is this even real? Maybe I'm in a coma, creating something in my head as I slumber.

Before I can question anything more, I hear a loud thud, like a ball being tossed on the floor. I look beside me.

A girl in a white shirt and a brown skirt with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Those shades suit her skin tone well. I think in my head.

"Mh... Wh.. where am I...?" The girl asks herself, her voice trembling slightly.

Her eyes follow the walls of the room before they stop, her gaze falling on to me.

"Wh... W-who are- No, what are you?!" She asks, her voice going up a bit as she quickly scrambles away from me.

She's frightened by me... That's fair. I would be too.. I think to myself.

I take a few paces backwards, figuring that it wouldn't be good to come closer to her when she seems so afraid.

".. Owen. My name's Owen. Please, calm down." I answer, my voice quiet and calm.

"Owen? Well then, Owen. Where am I?" The girl asks, her tone turning demanding.

"I don't know. I just woke up here, same as you. Please, take a few moments to just breathe and calm down." I say, trying to get her to be at least a bit calmer.

The girl stares at me with a skeptical look on her face, likely not believing anything I just said. But she follows my advice and gives herself a few seconds to breathe.

Not like I can blame her. I would be skeptical as well if I saw some tall guy with a tail and ears standing in front of me, especially if I didn't know where I was.

"... What's your name?" I ask after a few more seconds of silence.

"..Miu. Miu Iruma." She answers hesitantly.

"Miu Iruma... An interesting name. I like it." I reply.

"Uhm... Thank you." Iruma responds in an awkward tone.

Silence...

"... So.." Iruma starts, breaking the tension.

"Do you remember how you got here?" She asks.

"Hmm... I remember going home after school and then being thrown in to a black car by some people." I answer.

"That happened to me too." Iruma says.

"Hm. So we were both kidnapped, presumably by the same people..." I think out loud.

Silence again.

"Maybe we should explore our environment. It might help us find out who took us, or at least where we are." I suggest.

Iruma simply nods.
