Waking up does not feel good anymore. Wait, why does it not feel good? It usually does, it should feel like waking up on clouds. Not rock. I mean, waking up isn't always fun but at least it's comfortable. Then I remember it all. Well, whatever there was to remember.
Something pulled me under water... or should I say someone.

Maybe this is death, maybe I'm dead. If I am, this is not how I imagined it to be. I figured after you die you were flooded with light not darkness. That you would see a man who decides where you go. Heaven or Hell. I hope this isn't Hell. I was good wasn't I? I was good enough to make it into heaven.

Deciding to open my eyes and decipher whether or not it is Heaven or Hell, I am confronted with darkness. All I see is shadows with no source of light. This is not Hell or Heaven, I decide.

Maybe I'm not dead, maybe this is all a dream and dad got to me soon enough to pull me out of the water. But it feels so real. So very real.

I hear faint sound of movement, like feet walking. It was so quiet I start to believe it was just my imagination. Until I hear something more distinctive, my name.

"Elise Anne Quill" something hisses.

A snake? No, snakes don't talk.

I stand up and wait for whatever it is to come out of the darkness into some type of light. Finally, something does.

"Elise Anne Quill, what a pleasure to finally meet you!" the thing says. It looks to be human but it's skin and height says otherwise. He has purple skin, if it is a he, I think it is, and he's easily 7 feet tall.

"How do you know my name? who are you?"

"I could be a friend" he says, with a smile,but then something changes in his and he drops his smile. Suddenly he's closer to me, towering over me; he looks down "Or I could be your worst nightmare" he sneers then grabs my face with one hand.

"Well that escalated quickly didn't it? I asked you a question and you don't even have the decency to answer it nicely" I say with fire. I'm not going to be weak, I'm going to be strong. Just because this thing kidnaped me doesn't mean I should give it what it wants, weakness. I know I can protect myself, I just don't know with what. I just know I can.

"Oh, there's fire on your tongue, Darling. You'll need to learn how to control it in front of me" he says, letting go of my face.

"I'll ask one more time, who are you?" I mutter, not being able to move my jaw much. His grip was tight.

"I'm The Mighty Titan, Thanos!" he booms, seeming to have grow a foot right before my eyes. "But you'll call me Master"

"Thanos huh? What a name. So, what do you want with me?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest. This can't possibly be happening. A Titan? As in the Greek Titans that my dad told be about? If he is, then this is not going to go well.

"Ah,ah,ah," he rejects. "I said that you'll call me Master, and you, my Darling, will be my pet, for now. I'll train and prepare you for what's to come. Then, soon enough, you'll be My Little Warrior. You'll fight for me, you'll be on my side."he says, delighted with the idea of me being 'his pet'.

"I'm only human, I can't help you. Sorry, I guess you can send me back home now" I suggest, I'll be no help to him.

"That's where your wrong, Darling. You've been lied to your whole life, you're not human. Barely even close to it." He turns around and grabs a piece of rock from the ground and plays with it.

"Well, as much and I want to believe you, you're wrong." I state, there's no way I'm not human.

"You'll just have to wait and see, Darling. You'll just have to wait and see." he repeats, still playing with the rock, tossing it back and forth.

"What will I have to wait and see?" I dare to ask.

"For what's to come, of course!" he says excited. "Now, follow me."

That's what I'm left with. With so many more questions on my mind, I follow Thanos into the darkness. Stupid, I know, but I'm afraid and I'm more afraid of what would happen if I didn't follow him.

He leads me to a room or what's suppose to be a room, I'm guessing. There's not much light to see the entire place, only a cot and a nightstand.

"This will be your room for now. If you behave, you'll get an upgrade. If you don't well... let's just say you won't be too comfortable with a downgrade." he starts to to walk out the door and then turns around, "I'll leave you to yourself for a bit, then we'll begin the fun"

As he leaves, I go over to the bed and sit down on it. It's very uncomfortable and it makes my butt hurt as soon as I contact with it. I ignore the numb feeling that's starting to spread and I just think. Everything that's just happened in the past 30 minutes or so makes me think I'm dreaming. That's this is all just a freaky dream. But it's not. I know when I'm dreaming and I'm certain this is reality. So if it's reality, why am I really here. Thanos wasn't that clear as to why. He only 'preparing me for what's to come'. So, what is to come?

With that last thought, I stare at the wall. At least I can still escape to my own little world. To a different little experience. At least I can still sit here and take in my surroundings, feeling everything around me.

At least I can still escape.
