BRING ME TO LIFE
A JOURNAL OF FANTASY ~a one-shot compilation~Where is it? Where am I? This place is so cold, dark, and small. Help! Someone, help me, please! I am scared!
I closed my eyes and hugged my knees.
Help me...
I begged but none heard me. I was tired. I could not bear this anymore. I would not survive. I would die soon. I closed my eyes and hugged myself, waiting my death came. It was so quiet till I could hear my own heartbeat.
Suddenly I felt that place was moving. A weak warmness crept out around me. I heard a weak sound near my ear. It had the same rhythm with my heartbeat.
What is it?
"Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea..."
I heard a soft and lovely voice. I did not understand what that voice talked about. I just simply liked it.
Who is that?
I rested my ear on the cold wall, wanted to listen it a bit longer. It could make me a bit relax.
Where it comes from? I want to see it. Help! Let me out from here!
I could feel that place was shaking.
What is going on here? Help! Anyone! Help!
That warmness was replaced with familiar coldness. I hugged my knees. Then I heard something cracking beneath. It was followed by a comfy warmness. Then that lovely voice appeared again. I smiled. I could sleep peacefully tonight.
It was happened many times like a cycle. I heard that voice whenever I missed it. I never felt lonely and cold anymore. I could feel this warmness all time.
"Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea..."
That voice. Are you here?
I opened my eyes and rested my ear on the wall, trying to hear it a bit clearly. I smiled widely. It was here. I could not wait anymore. I wanted to get out from darkness and saw it. I gained all my strength and hit the wall with all of my power. I did not care it would hurt me. I just wanted to be free.
That small place spinned around and hit something hard. I could hear a loud clang many times. I felt so dizzy but I kept hit it. Then I heard a faint cracking sound. I looked up and smiled. For the first time of my life I could see a light.
A little more and I am free.
I hit that cracked wall. It exploded. I closed my eyes and protected my body with my tiny wings. I got buried between shattered wall.
Why so quiet? Am I dead already?
I slowly opened my eyes and moved my wings.
"My baby..."
I heard a soft whisper. I felt someone removed something heavy from my body.
Who?
I stood up and saw a gigantic creature stood in front of me. I gasped in shock. I wanted to run but I got slipped and fell. Slimy and fishy viscous liquid splashed to me.
"Welcome to the world, Baby."
It said something strange. I was afraid. My whole body trembled when it tried to touch me. I protected myself by blowing fire as huge as I could produce. It gasped in shock and quickly waved its finger to turn off the fire.
"It is Daddy..."
It sang something familiar to me. My eyes widened.
This voice! I know it! So it was you?
It took me gently with its huge and warm palms. I looked at its huge face. It had a good face and a warm smile. I felt so safe like I just came home.
"Do you recognise Daddy now, Baby?"
I blew a faint white smoke to it. I felt so happy and tired in the same time.
Daddy...
I fallen asleep on its hands.
"Sleep well, Morgana..."
