Vision 0 - Waking up

I waited and waited, but nothing changed. I did not see anything, and suddenly it didn't feel like the dream I was used to.

I slowly tried to open my eyes, I had difficulty at first but after a few seconds, I felt like someone has on a flashlight towards me. A light appeared in front of me, it was like those halos you see in movies, like the light coming from the end of a tunnel.

Soon blood rushed into my veins, and I regained some sense. I tried to feel something around my skin and I felt something hard, but soft, against my back... like soil.

' I was in my bed, trying to sleep. What happened?, I thought it was one of those dreams again. '

As I shouted into an unknown and I tried to move my limbs. It felt like my whole body was numb. After struggling for a few minutes, I suddenly felt electricity running through my body. Blood was coursing through my eyes as it burned and they abruptly opened on their own.

The fog-like sensation cleared from my vision. The first thing I saw was long leaves hanging from the branches of trees. As I blink - which felt like, that blink cast over like a shadow for several seconds on me- and I saw more leaves.

I blinked several times to cast away the weird sensation and I moved my head to look around me. I notice that I was surrounded by foliage, and the trees around me were huge.

I had to make an effort to sit up, my muscles strained which made me uncomfortable.

I straightened my back and a needle-pain sensation woke me completely. Fighting through the pain, I sat straight and looked around. Grass up to my waist length and trees as tall as buildings came into my view and I realize that I was in some kind of forest and that just made me even more confused.

' If it is a dream, I should be in the sky, or somewhere watching some important event going on.'

' If it is not a dream, I should be in my bed.'

' Why Am I in the middle of a forest? '

These kinds of questions were fumbling inside my head. First, I decided to check up on myself, to see if there are any injuries.

Thankfully I was not injured. There was nothing wrong with me, a relief sensation washed over me. I was so normal that it looked like I slept here instead of going to my bed.

Not even my clothes were harmed. I had my overpriced leather jacket on my shoulders over a simple black T-shirt covering my torso, Black jeans at the lower part of my body, and Black boots that complimented them.

Why so much Black you might wonder? Black is just a cool color that's all.

"Ahhhhh..."

Suddenly, I felt a mild headache and an aching sound escaped my mouth.

Holding my head with the palm of my right hand, I try to converse my thoughts. The last thing I remember was, that. I was too tired after coming back from college, so I just headed straight to bed and fell asleep, but now I am in the middle of a forest.

I spend long glances checking if I could find something near me which could give me some clues.

Once again It was all for not.

I got up while straining my back and legs, again. 'I should try to figure out where the hell I am?' I thought and then a random thought that 'maybe someone drugged me or made me unconscious on purpose and left me here. '

'But why would someone do that?'

' How did they get into my house? '

' Why did they leave me HERE?! '

I had too many questions but there was no one I could ask. Defeated I looked around and saw a small hill in a distance. It shouldn't take me long to get to the hill. I was basically in my top condition.

After a few hours of hiking, I reached the top, a little tired granted, but the scene that came into my view was mesmerizing. I was on some kind of Island. I could see the sea surrounding the island which is covered with forest.

It was night and the sky was filled with stars and a full bright-brown-tinged gray - moon shone like a diamond. I have never seen so many stars in the sky before. I lived in a modern city with tall buildings and streets full of people.

It was not like I have never seen a sky filled with stars, but the reflection of the stars in the sea made it look as if the sky came down.

It is like I am standing in a huge Planetarium that stretched over several kilometers covering the world around me.

" Beautiful. "

The word just came out on its own. It was just too delightful to watch.

" Beautiful indeed. "

I was lost in the delightful scene in front of me when suddenly an extremely sweet voice - thin but commanding, stern but gentle beautiful to hear like honey. A voice that is too pleasurable to listen to.

It was so soothing that it felt like a whisper to me, unconsciously I moved my head in the direction of the voice, and Boy I was wrong.

I was wrong about the scene with the stars being beautiful. When I moved my head toward the voice, a breeze suddenly came carrying some specks of unknown silver dust, and with that, my hair fluttered, leaves flew and I saw an exceptionally charming woman sitting on the rock.

The woman in front of me was extremely seductive and charming. She had fair skin, almost white, which seem to be glowing in the night. In contrast to her skin, her amethyst aubergine dark purple hair looked like her shadow.

Her silk-like, waist-length hair was moving with the breeze. Her eyes were amethyst color with a hint of yellow, like Ametrine.

If that was not enough. She was wearing a Black royal dress clutching to her seductive body and her exposed long arms and long white ankles with black high heels made her look even more attractive.

She had some kind of Demonic aura but she had some innocent charm as well, and that charm made her look Angelic.

I was confused and in trans-state, the words once again came out on their own.

" Beautiful. "

She had her face rested on her palm and elbow on her knee - one above another. She was also looking toward the sea.

Seems to have heard what I said. She made a confused expression and looked at me. Since the rock she was sitting on was a little higher than where I was standing. She looked down at me, and I was gazing up at her.

Our eyes meet, and for a moment, I thought I was bewitched but I put my all, really, I put all of my heart and composed myself.

She was too Divinely-Demonic. I have never seen someone so beautiful, and I had seen my fair share of beautiful women.

She looked at me and raised an eyebrow, just a little, as it changed. First, she looked a little surprised, then a little shocked, and then intrigued? With that, her lips parted into two and another sweet voice was heard.

" Interesting. "

I almost felt dazed, again, but this time I was more focused.

After composing myself. I asked the most obvious question that anyone in my place would want to ask.

" Who are you? "

Seeing me focused, she smiled a little and at that, I cursed inwardly, that smile was just unfairly beautiful. She answered my question in her sweet voice, this time deep - which had a little seductive charm-, and with that, a name was heard.

" Persephone. "
