Something was off in the air today, I wasn't sure what it was, the children were in Sunagakura and everyone else was bustling about as they normally did. I had been walking down the Main Street when a shiver went over my spine, it had given off an ominous aura, one that I hadn't ever felt before even as I faced Orochimaru by Lord Third's side, it was different, less snake-like and more horrid, like bone snapping horrid instead of human experiment horrid.
I turned to the side, only to feel something hit me in the throat. I felt my body begin to drop towards the ground, my vision growing hazy as I heard someone yell out my name, my eyes closed and I focused on my neck, I could feel it inside of my flesh, it was long and pointy, jabbing against the pressure point lightly. senbon needle. I gritted my teeth to keep silent as I felt a hand roughly pull it out of my neck, my hands were being bound just as my ankle, then, a hand struck the back of my neck and everything went numb.
Where am i?
I walked through a metal chamber type place, everything seemed to be made from the same material as kunai and shurikan were. the walls shined as an invisible light followed me through the dark chamber, my footsteps echoing with each step no matter how lightly I tried to tread. peering down, I found myself ankle deep in a thick liquid, one could only call, blood. I shivered and kept myself walking until my hand that I had holding the wall fell, I had entered a room of some sort.
what is this place?
"This is your mind" I turned my head around, trying to pin point where the voice was coming from, it seemed to echo all around me, getting louder and louder until my ears began to ring and the voice then died down almost simultaneously.
what's happening?
"You were captured by Unknown shinobi" the voice once more echo before disappearing just as it began to hurt my ears, I tightened my jaw and continued to walk forward, stopping only when I felt the floor change. I peered down, finding myself standing on white carpet, blood no where to be seen.
I have to get back, the village needs me
"you'll wake up soon enough, in the mean time, why don't you make yourself comfy? you'll be here a lot"
the scenery morphed around me once more, the white carpet remained as I now found myself sitting at the table in my old family home within Konoha's walls. I looked around confused, spotting a woman with long white hair walk through the doorway, she smiled at me and came over, pinching my cheek and began to stroke my hair as if I was an animal. I raised a hand to smack hers off of me, but it went right through her. My eyes widened as I realized I was facing an image, not a person.
"how could you not recognize your own mother, has it been that long?"
my..my mother?
"Oh my sweet little darling, you're so precious, yes you are~" the woman grabbed my pale cheek, tugging on it gently. I pursed my lips in an unfamiliar manner, I didn't know how to react to any of this, to a mothers care, I had forgotten what she looked like in person. a picture only tells one so much, while the memory brings familiarity and warmth.
"It's time to wake up Tenshi, wake up now~"
I felt my entire body jerk awake, gasping out for air as my body shivered in coldness, I curled up into myself the best I could, opening my eyes slowly, I found myself in a small room of no light, shivering, I pushed myself upwards, hearing a loud jingle by my legs.
I was chained.
