Nothing

A Yugioh One-Shot

A/N: It seems random, I know. I was suposed to be writtin an essay for my English class and... I got distracted... I was thinking about what it would be like to be trapped in the shadow realm, and this is what I came up with...

Something... far in the distance. A light...? It's so hard to see. The darkness... it clouds my eyes... the blood, the tears... It's an illusion. The shadows... my mind, playing tricks on me. There is no such thing as freedom... as a light in the distance...

How long has it been?... I... I can't remember. Nothing. Not even my own name... What... who I was... I haven't known for a long time... All I know is darkness... the shadows that surround me. There's always been darkness... Always... and chains. Chains that bind me to this spot... to my blood, to my sins... sins I don't remember committing... Then why am I here? What did I do to deserve this?... I've been here forever... yet not so... I remember a light... A long time ago. When?... When was I placed in this world, this world of... darkness? It wasn't always like this... was it? This pain... this darkness. Especially the darkness. I fear... it has consumed my soul by now...

My sanity... When did I lose it? I know I did just... when? A minute... a century? It doesn't matter. Who wouldn't become mad... chained in complete darkness... bound to one's blood... to one's tears... My eyes... I remember a voice... It spoke of my eyes. Clear and beautiful... free of anything... dark. They are nothing but blood now... My own tears have stained them... I... have become darkness now...

I wonder...

Pain. It consumes my body once more. A dark fire burning my soul... I scream, my throat raw... I can hear it. The darkness. It's laughing at me... at my pain. I am here to amuse it... Shattered thoughts cross my mind... thoughts that have no chance to flourish... thoughts consumed by the oncoming pain... I yearn for death... yearn for it to tear me from this... this... tourture. It doesn't seem to come fast enough... It doesn't me. I call to it. I scream... The pain is unbearable... It's consuming me. Light. I... I see it. Maybe... I stop... stop screaming... stop moving. I can see it more clearly now... I gathers around me... The darkness clawing its way into my skin... It won't let go...

A hand. Pale compared to the shadows... to me. A face. Perfect and beautiful. The shadows seem to run from this angelic figure... light left in its place. My previous thought return to me... The ones I lost when pain consumed my mind... What do I look like? It's been so long... I don't remember... Why... am I even asking? I probably... don't even look the same anymore... The blood... the darkness has changed me...

I need to... break through... through the pain... the shadows... I reach out for that pefect hand... It reaches back. Warmth. Nothing like the cold darkness I am so used to... I can feel my soul lift. The light guards me... keeps the shadows away... I let it consume me... like I let the shadows consume so long ago... I... I'm saved...

And the darkness laughed.
