Well, This Bloody Sucks

Journey To The Past

I wake up to a familiar ceiling.

"Wait, I'm home."

I sit up to find myself in my old bed, in my old room.

"I'm home!" I sigh, with tears of happiness welling in my eyes.

Knock, knock.

"Eliza? Sweetie? I brought you breakfast." A warm voice rings out.

My breath hitches in my throat.

No...

An elegant lady sweeps into my room. Effortlessly balancing a tray of food in one hand and closing the door shut with the other. Her straightened, black hair is pulled away from her face showing dark brown eyes. Her dark brown skin perfectly complemented her choice of clothing, being an orange summer dress with white strappy sandals.

After placing the tray on my bedside table, she turns to me with a worried expression.

"Eliza, is something wrong?"

"No..." I whisper with fresh new tears falling from my eyes. "Everything is perfect."

With that I bound out of bed with more energy than ever before, and hug my mother tightly. Not wanting to ever let go.

"I love you, Mum." I sob.

"I love you too, Sweetie. Never forget that."

.o0o.

I wake slowly, finding my pillow a little bit wet from my tears.

I murmur whilst clasping my rosary tightly. "I won't forget Mum. Never."

I readjust my tank top and pyjama bottoms before getting out of my bed. I threw away the nightgown ages ago. Upon further reflection, I wonder why I didn't burn it.

I pull back the long curtain to watch the weather outside. A storm seems to have started at some point. It's going to be hell when we need to go to school.

Dark and dreary; a bit like my mood.

I continue staring at the grey clouds above, when something catches my eye down below. A figure standing in the rain. A figure that I've seen before.

"That's..."

The purple haired lady turns once more. Her bangs still obscure her eyes and she smiles slightly, seemingly seeing me.

Oh, crap! It's the creepy-ass chick!

I stumble backwards in fear when my chest starts hurting again.

"Ah, crap not this again."

I fall to my knees in pain, darkness starts to take over my eyesight, and finally I pass out into nothingness.

"Eliza."

I dreamily focus in on a voice calling out my name.

"Eliza. Follow my voice."

My feet move of their own accord. I try to resist, but all of a sudden my heart painfully contracts again, leaving me powerless to fight back.

"Where are you taking me?" I ask, leaving my feet to wander of their own accord.

"I'm taking you to some answers."

At the promise of getting answers, I throw away the last of my resistance, and everything fades to black.

.o0o.

I open my eyes to daylight and a rushing fountain behind me. The one outside the Sakamaki Mansion.
