"Get the girl! She mustn't get away!" yelled a Holy Knight as I ran into the woods. The shackles with broken chains clung to my ankles and rattled as I ran. My bare feet getting cut by the rocks and roots sticking out of the ground. My tattered and worn grey dress loosely hung around my body while the shackles on my wrists began to hurt.
The more I ran the more my lungs burned. No matter how tired or how much I wanted to stop, I had to keep going. I couldn't let them catch me again. I had to get far away. No more of sitting in a damp, dark cell. I was going crazy in there by myself.
After running for a good while I decided that I should slow my pace down. Before I was able to, however, I tripped over a big tree root and fell. I felt a sharp pain shoot through my head. Soon everything went completely black.
~Nightmare~
Everything around me was dark. I tried to call out to someone, anyone who could've heard me. Only the sound of my voice echoing back was all I heard.
"Try all you want. No one will hear you." came a sinister voice. I turn around and saw a girl standing there. She had the same (H/C) hair I did, but it fell in her face covering her features. She wore a dirty, tattered white dress that fell to her knees. She had shackles on her wrists, but the chains once connecting them were broken and hung off the shackles by her side.
"Who are you? Where am I?" I asked. The girl chuckled. Flames engulfed the girl making me take a few steps back. Something about her frightened me.
"Why do you run (Y/N)? You know it's safer for everyone if you were locked away." she says, the flames growing in size by the minute.
"If I stayed I would've lost my mind." I say while looking at my hands. The shackles were gone.
"And you think that it's any better out here? You will still hurt people. You will cause chaos everywhere you go. You can't control this power of yours." she says as she begins to circle around me. I watched her closely as she did.
"I-I can learn to..."
"Ha! You can't even tell when you've brought out you're own worst nightmares. So how can you tell the difference?" she cut me off.
"I-I can tell!" I say making her stop and turn to me. She chuckles again.
"Oh yeah? Then how come you haven't made me disappear yet?" Don't you remember what Julianna warned you about? She told you that you would cause massive destruction not long after you met a young man with blonde hair and green eyes."
"H-how do you know that? How do you know Julianna?" I ask. She lifts her head enough for me to see and evil, almost demonic, smile. Her teeth were so sharp she could bite through the toughest steel if she so wanted to.
"Because..." she lifts her head to look at me directly in the eyes. I gasped in shock. "... I am you." she says. Her eyes were just as red as the flames that had engulfed her body. "Now you see who you will become. You will become me weather you like it or not." she says then jumps at me, teeth bared like a wild animal, with the flames consuming both of us.
~End of Nightmare~
I sit straight up, breathing heavily. I notice that I'm no longer in the woods, but in a room laying in a bed. All the shackles have been taken off and replaced with bandages. I gently touch my head were I hit it. Then door opens and a girl with white hair walks in. When she sees me up she runs over to my side.
"You're awake! That's good. How are you feeling?" she asks. Her voice as so soft.
"I'm fine. How long was I out for?"
"An entire day." she says. I just nod my head. "Let's get you into something clean." she says.
She had me put on a (F/C) shirt, a black skirt and some flats. Once I was dressed she lead me down stairs into, what looked like a tavern, sitting area. I saw three guys sitting, well two, sitting and the third was floating on a pillow. The girl sat me down and started the introductions.
"So (Y/N) why were you out in the woods to begin with?" asks King. I looked at the floor, which seemed more interesting.
"If I told you, you'd probably want me to leave." I say.
"We wouldn't do that." says Elizabeth. I stay quite though.
"It can't be that bad." says Ban.
"It can." I say, tears threatened to spill out. "I have a power I can't control. It causes chaos wherever I go." I say. I stand up and run out of the tavern while passing a giant. I found a spot at the top of a cliff to sit on. It was over looking a nice view of a lake. I pulled my knees to my chest and hug them. Afterwards I felt someone sit beside of me.
"Whatever power you have we can help you to control it." says Meliodas.
"You don't understand. My power let's me see anyone and everyone's worst nightmare, then I can force them to see it whenever I want. I even did it to myself, right before I woke up."
"Let us help you (Y/N), you can't run from this and you can't learn to control it on your own." he says. I look at him, tears rolling down my face.
"Don't you get it! I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up! And I'd like to minimize the casualties." I yelled then say the last part softly. He cups my cheek with his hand and wipes away stray tears. He smiles at me with a goofy grin and chuckle.
"Then it's settled. You're staying with us." he says. I sat there confused. He wants me to stay? I look him in the eyes. Something about him mad me feel better, which made me smile back at him.
"You know you're asking for it Meliodas."
"Bring it on." he says. The same thing also made me feel like some crazy things are going to happen on this adventure, but that I can handle it.
