    Maybe she is right. Maybe I am meritless!
                   6 months later...
     Here I am. Still stuck in this cell. I just can't figure out how to get out of it. I just don't know what to do. Orbella could have helped me out. She could have motivated me, because this motivating myself wasn't working. And I knew why. Because I'm insecure. I've been like this ever since I got put in this stupid cell. Magic's words really got to me. Or should I say word. Meritless. I couldn't stand being called that. Being called worthless. It made me feel like I was.
     I have been insecure a lot of my life. But when I got put in here, that's when it got serious. This is when the insecure part started to really affect me. Back when me and Orbella we're together, anytime I looked down on myself, she would always lift my spirit. Give me motivation. And I would do the same for her. But since I'm not with her, and she isn't with me, were probably both in a dark place right now. I stood up, and pounded on the walls. I know I have been in here for like 6 months now, but it didn't hurt to try. This is what I would tell myself, to give myself hope. Hope that someone could be out their. Even though I knew, no one was out their. But then I hear something. I hear a door open. I can't see it, but the door opened to the outside. I could see the light on the floor, outside of my cell.
     I hear footsteps, walk closer to my cell. I start to get scared but excited at the same time. Who is it, and why are they coming towards me. Where they here to save me, or to finish me off? God I had so many questions roaming through my mind.
     The footsteps stop. They stop right outside of my cell. The person is wearing a black hood, covering most of his/her face. This hood goes all the way down to the feet. Then the person looks at me. He is a man. He has red eyes, and white, pale skin. He also has vangs.
"Who are you?" I ask nervously.
"I am guard 206, where are your parents?!" He asks angrily.
     Guard 206, I think to myself. Then it hits me. HE'S FROM THE DARK REALM. He must be a guard from there. And he has finally caught my family. I didn't know what to do or what to say. But I knew I couldn't say where they were. 6 feet under.
"I don't know?" I say.
"Well then come with me!" He demands.
"I can't. Do you see the bars?!"
     He looks down at his hand, and a briefcase appears. He sits it on the ground then gets a small bottle of some glowing liquid.
"This should do it!" He says to me.
     He opens the little bottle of glowing red liquid, and let's it drip onto the bars. After some time, the bars stop to glow. Then the man reaches back into his briefcase, sits the bottle down, and gets a small little pen out. Then he gets back up, and clicks the pen. The pen shoots out a laser, and he starts to cut the bars.
                 30 minutes later...
The man finally finishes cutting enough of the bars, for me to get out.
"Get out." He says impatiently.
I step out of the cell, and I feel incredible. It's like a new me. A new me who is ready to get revenge on those that betrayed me. I guess I should say the person that betrayed me. MAGIC! Orbella's mom! That beast of a woman! When I get my hands on her. That'll be her end!
     "Thanks for getting me out!" I say walking away from him.
"Oh no, you thought I was helping you. This is my job. Your coming with me!" He says following me.
I didn't know what to do. How was I going to escape this trained, guard.
     I looked back at the guard, and flew my hands up. Then red magic came out if then, and flew towards him. Now he was surrounded by it, and started to levitate towards the ceiling. Then he went into it, and finally got stuck in it.
"You think this can stop me? Your delaying the inevitable. I'm going to get you, and bring you back to the dark realm, where you can serve out your time for not only yourself, but for your mother and father!" He says angrily.
     I turn back around to the door and start to run out of it! Once I reach the outside I stop to look around. It seems as though I was on an island. Which means I was surrounded by water. I hate water! I don't really go around it, because I never learned to swim. So I didn't know how I was going to get off of this island. Then I heard the guard fall off the ceiling. I looked back, and he was running towards me. So I had to start running too. Luckily there was a forest on the island, so I ran into it. But I had to stop when I saw that the guard was all ready in the forest. So I turned around, but he was their in front of me too. That meant he was using his magic to trick me. I didn't know which one was actually him. So I just stood their. But then I realized I could try to use my magic. I threw my hands up, but the guard was already beside me, and punched me. I became unconscious. I knew that when I woke up, I was going to be in the dark realm, so I had to prepare myself for the worse. Torture, I knew would come. But that's about it. That's all I really thought they would do. The one thing I knew they wouldn't do was kill me quickly. They like to make people suffer. My mom use to tell me all about it, back when I was little. Back when I had a mom.
