Adaninia

Chapter One - Darkness

        Crystal opened her eyes.  she was in a dark place, darker than death itelf.  Where am I?  What's going on?  She wondered, beginning to panic.  She was in a mall room about four feet all around.  Crystal hated the small room with a passion.  It made her feel small; insignificant  Crystal took a deep breath in a desperate attempt to calm herself.  "Okay.  First things first, what do I know?" Crystal asked herself aloud.  Her voice seemed small and muffled.  Crystal sat on the ground and closed her eyes (not that that helped much) and thought long and hard.   

        Her name was Crystal, that much she was certain.  She was also an Adaninian.  But what did that mean?  What did she look like?  How did she act?  And why couldn't she remember these basic facts?   

Crystal jumped at the sound of a wailing alarm.  Red lights began to flash all around her."Now approaching Earth.  Prepare for touch down!" A loud voice boomed.  Crystal heard screaming from all around as the room began to shake.  There were others around her! She had to help them!  Crystal circled the room for an escape, but found none; not even a door.  Een if there had been a door, Crystal had her own problems.  

A hand clasped over Crystal's mouth and pulled her back.  "Welcome to Earth little Adaninian." a female voice growned into her ear.  Crystal struggled desperately against the strong grip. "You seem to be troubled.  Allow me to ease your mind."  The voice purred, tracing  finger down Crystal's side.  Crystal shrieked in pain and agony as volts of electricity rocketed down her body.  The pain was excruciating and made Crystal see strs.  After what seemed like forever, the hand released her and Crystal fell to the floor, barely even half conscious.   

There was a cold evil laugh and Crystal slipped into unconsciousness, wishing she could just die.
