Cruel World || Pandora Hearts

Retrace: I

The Abyss, a place where sinners are dragged down to. once you enter It you can never leave It, I too have sinned, but I have no recollections of what my sin was. perhaps It's a blessing that I don't remember.

For as long as I remember not even once has light made It Into this endless nightmare. I've been a prisoner of this jail for centuries now.

I can't believe I'm still sane despite being surrounded by these monstrous beings, It pained me. i couldn't bear this suffering at all, i begged and begged but to no avail. Just how grave was my sin truly?

This was my fate. I could never leave this place no matter how much I tried. I've given up.

I would rather die than suffer here but no matter whatt I attempt I find myself alive again.

I sighed raising myself off the cold wet ground squeezing my now torn-off white dress, off the water. Everything looks bizarre here it's such a hideous view, broken shards, torn-off stuffed animals.

Fancy looking furniture that's left to waste. Many objects were scattered, some even floating and Every step i take resulted in a loud audible splash.

At first it annoyed me but now i've grown accustomed to it. I stepped through the cage, strolling mindlessly like any day, there are these creepy dolls who kept popping up out of nowhere. Some of them looked adorable others were creepy.

But they all shared one trait: being noisy. As much as I hate them they keep bothering and pestering me all the time, these bastards. Even if I break them they just get fixed back immediately with no issues only to bother me even further.

It's lonely here with 'Chains' only all around, Chains....I actually happen to be one of them unlike these gruesome beings i'm the most 'human' or so I would like to believe, I tried speaking to them but they don't seem to understand speech or have any communication skills. Well that's to be expected given their true nature.

I'm curious about the human world, Is it a great place? I have vivid memories of being somewhere bright with a lot of green and colors surrounding me, I even wore a nice looking ruffly dress unlike the mudied one I have right now.

Or maybe these memories are just fantasies i made up unconsciously. Well i wouldn't know because there's no point of thinking those thoughts.

I halted to a stop as I saw a brimming light shine upon the area, It seems the chains are pulling yet another victim. That's how things worked in here associating yourself with chains and anyone related to the abyss is a terrible idea, a very bad choice.

I covered my eyes with my sleeve, After a few seconds i unblocked my vision to find a blonde-haired young boy wearing a white tux passed out in the ground.

I walked towards him crouching down and poked one of his cheeks " Hey, are you still alive? wake up." I whispered smacking him gently on the face but that didn't work. I guess It will take a while for him to regain his consciousness, a few minutes passed and he still hasn't woken up.

I noticed something shining in his palm i brought my face closer to his hand, A pocket watch?
It looks peculiar, as I brought my hand to touch It I heard a groan from the boy so I turned my gaze back to him, his eyes stared to flutter open showing emerald orbs.

He breaths out looking around frantically" W-where am i..?"

" You're finally awake, you're in the Abyss." I said, He looks at me surprised "The Abyss?! S-so it actually exists...." The boy looked frantic trembling. 

"What is your name?" I asked peering into his eyes He quickly averted his gaze seemingly nervous. at " My name's Oz ". He said.

I stood up pulling him up with me  " How were you brought here? have you formed a contract or did you commit a sin and got dragged down here?" I questioned, He seemed overwhelmed and confused by all of this I suppose I got ahead of myself. I cleared my throat as I apologized afterwards.

As we kept chatting a squeaky laugh erupted through the place, It is one of the dolls it bounced at Oz face startling the poor boy. Oz yelled falling to the ground, These damn dolls never learn their lesson do they? I furiously ripped It off the blonde face tossing it away.

"You gotta keep your guard up you don't really know what these things are capable of ."
I warned him running my hand through my hair, Before taking hold of his wrist " Lets get out of here It's probably going to wake up soon." I said as my body started to float off the ground, I grasped his hand  " Hold tight. "

Then we flew fast, Taking a glance back at him I swore his face turned red. Like that one food what do they call it... Tomay-to? Is this what humans call a fever?

Why am I even helping him,Iit's none of my concerns what happens to him. He's just going to wind up dead like the others. But for some reason I can't help to leave him alome like this. I heaved a sigh.

I shook my head of these thoughts, As I looked back at him. He just smiled nervously. I smiled back awkwardly.

I quickly turned around to a wall dropping him In the ground carefully.

"Phew... That should keep them off us for a while however this won't be a safe hiding place for too long." I float back down and sat next to him before i heard a growling sound.

" What was that sound? " I looked down at his stomach with a straight face. He laughs awkwardly scratching his cheek " S-sorry I'm hungry " He stuttered, laughing awkwardly. I sighed

Hunger....I have never experienced that emotion? or Is it a desire? i'm not sure i don't understand these human terms well. But I think I saw something humane one time. It's round and has brown spots. maybe he will like that?

"....." using my powers I dropped a jar full of that strange thing, His eyes were sparklimg " Wah! cookies!" He exclaimed cheerfully munching in them quickly.

" You're very carefree, what If I was tricking you? " I cocked my head to the side.

" But you aren't my enemy are you? You saved me back there. Thanks!" His lips curved into a smile as he continued munching the 'cookies'

" You're strange. " I chuckled.

" Huh!? " Oz stopped munching on his as he had a look of shock in his face.

" Yeah i'm sure of It. "

" Don't be sure of it!" Oz grumbled.

" Y/N. "

" Eh? "

" That's my name I haven't told you it back there right ?"

" Oh now that you're mentioning it.."

" Well either way you'r probably going to forget it after getting out of here. "

I shrugged, he looked confused, I stood up waving at him " I will be taking my leave now It was nice spending time with you. " I flashed him a smile " H-huh? will i be seeing you again? " He asked with a frown " Probably not, Good luck I wish you the best. " i muttered the last part and left.

It's better to not get too attached to others in the end they will just disappear and I'd be all alone again, emotions are a hindrance I should learn to discard them away.
