Where am I?

What is this place?

Am I ever going to get out?

A low chuckle escapes my lips due to the last thought. These newcomers really have no idea. I gasp as the raging pulse in between my ears becomes unbearable. The Silence bought a big batch this time.

I take a deep breath and decide to sort the thoughts into their categories. Blue, yellow, green, green, red, definitely red. That last one was really... intense. Doing a quick scan of her memories i realise her name is Asteri. How ironic. Greek for star. Bet those faceless mongrels did this on purpose.

"You're hilarious. Really." I spat out lifting my face slightly so it was in line to the ever present metal bars. I swear under my breath as I hear a snicker coming from beyond the bars or the Other Side. Bastards. Trying to fancy up this hellhole. It's nothing but a a void. An endless, dark, dead void.   

The ongoing, questioning thoughts flooding into my head constantly are giving me a serious migraine.

"Hey! I thought I told you not to bring so many this time!" I curse until I run out of words to say as this time the whole of the Other Side erupt into laughter. However they abruptly stop as a sliver of light cascades into the room. I hold in my breath as I wait for the inevitable. It always happens no matter how hard I pray or beg. No matter how hard I try to pretend it won't. This always happens because this  is my punishment. 

This is my prison.

Always and forever.

I am Prisoner #001.

I took the stars away.
