Chapter Text
Darkness.
An endless all-consuming darkness that surrounded her. Engulfing her and making her skin feel tighter, her clothes feel different.
She was younger now. She didn't know why. Was she back to that old house again? No, this was different..
In the darkness, she could see objects. But she couldn't really identify where they were or what they were. It seemed like moving shapes. A constant droning was inside of her ears, ringing and piercing and getting louder and louder every single step that she took--or was she even moving on her own? She wanted to stop. She didn't want to move forward. Her ears hurt. Her eyes hurt. Why couldn't she adjust to the darkness?
She saw a silhouette. Tried to call out for it, but nothing happened. Slowly, it turned around to face her, and all
she saw
was teeth.
" !!-- "
Sitting upright, Rose gasped for air.
She didn't know where she was. It was in the middle of the night, or at least it looked like it. it was hard to tell with all the fog around. Her body felt smaller, every single thing that she saw while still adjusting to her tiredness felt stretched and distorted.
She looked down at her hands and tried to focus on them. They were smaller. Slightly disproportionate, but almost like a child.. her hands were covered in bandages still however, she remembered falling down in that birthday party.. she almost had wished that she had been there again rather than here. She missed colors already. She wasn't wearing what she wore to sleep, though -- the more important part. Instead, she wore a floral nightgown with off-white shorts underneath. the bottom was stained and ripped, and she seem to have made a makeshift bandits on her feet as well, as if she had already been traveling whatever this place was.
She didn't know whether or not she was dreaming or awake. Her body felt stuck in between, and she felt disoriented but not enough to be unaware of where she was. Apparently she had fell asleep inside of a box full of cotton. How did she get there?
Where was she?
Was she even anywhere to begin with?
