Blurry Vision

"Hanabi, are you okay?"

The first voice that I heard woke me up from unconsciousness, probably from a terrible fall. I didn't know what happened to me and my vision would get blurry as I blink for a couple of times.

"Hanabi, do you hear me?"

As I blink slowly, my vision came back bit by bit. I looked around and it seemed like I've never been in a place like this before. The light in front of me was so bright and blinding. I turned to what seemed like a young woman with a white hood on asking me if I was okay.

"Where am I? What happened?" I anxiously asked.

"Now's not the time Hanabi, the Wrastler's were worried about you."

"Natalia, did something bad happen?"

"It's nothing but we lost Phantom again.

For now, we need you fully recovered so we can get back to work"

"That's just great, we lost her again."

A deep sigh escaped from Natalia's lips.

In the midst of our conversation, a biomedical scientist came in to the room to check up on me. She injected some substance inside me and told me it was for my fast recovery. I just hoped that it really was for my fast recovery.

Hours had passed when I woke up from the same room I've been in for the last several hours. I never felt so weak and I find it hard to get up.

"Did that scientist inject something in me?", I thought to my self.

I tried to look for Natalia but she's not there. I couldn't feel more weak and it's irritating knowing that I can't move. Suddenly, the room went completely dark. I move slightly to my left to turn on the light that Natalia gave me. As I was moving to my side, I ended up falling off my bed. I bruised my leg and can't manage to get up. I tightened my grip on the bed and tried my best to stand up.

Just when I'm about to get up a shadow quickly knocked me down out of nowhere which made me groan for pain. I looked around but no one seemed to be in the same room as me. I looked down to the floor and clenched my teeth. It took me a while to regain my strength. As I looked up, a glowing shadow in a form of a woman was walking towards me. She has a long hazelnut hair. I squinted as I gazed at her unfamiliar form. She's gracefully walking while holding two sharp blades.

"Hanabi, my love, aren't you too pretty to be this weak?" the woman mockingly said.

"What do you want from me?" I screamed at her.

"Is that how you greet a visitor?" she asked with hint of sarcasm.

"I can rip your head off if I wanted to." I replied to her in annoyance.

The woman laughed hysterically and suddenly teleported to my back. I was startled by her sudden transportation but I held my fear within, never allowed it to be shown.

"That's a shocker, but you know I could do so much more than that", she smirked.

She looked at me from head to toe but I couldn't quite see her face. She lifted my chin up using her sharp blades and slightly cut through my skin. I looked at her furiously while she was giving me a mocking laugh.

"Whenever a thing is done for the first time, it releases a little demon", she grunted.

The woman then left, leaving me with a wound on my chin. I felt so humiliated, I can't even imagine all the Wrastler I've disappointed. Next time we'll meet, I'll make sure that every wound on her will last for a very long time.
