Chapter 1.2 - Awakening and Confusion
==== Unknown ====
I feel so heavy it`s like a mountain is pressing down on me. I try to stretch with no success. A sudden thought creeps into my head that I am trapped and start to feel claustrophobic. Holding back the panic I decide I should try and open my eyes and get a better handle on the situation.
While I attempt to open my eyes, slowly my senses seem to be returning, I can feel vibrations entering my body in a slow, methodical beat that is always slightly different from the rest. I think these feel like footsteps of 4 or so people but I do not really understanding how I know that so I push the thought aside and wonder if I am being taken somewhere.
After an intense struggle I barely manage to open one of my eyes and almost immediately close it due to a blinding red light. Distracting me from the intense pain momentarily I notice the air is stagnant and heavy with the scent of blood causing me to wonder where in the seven hells I am.
-"I wonder who smells so delicious?"
Finding the thought slightly weird, I add it to the list of puzzling questions that is slowly growing and wait for the light to dim enough to allow my eye to focus. Once my vision clears I find that I appear to be in some sort of cave illuminated in an extremely comforting, pulsing red light that is casting strange haunting shadows along the jagged wall.
-"Those shadows look like the people are being burnt alive."
-"I really want to know what is making the light but can`t see past the horde of people standing in the way. What are they doing?"
-"How dare they block my view!"
The weird ringing sound I have heard since I woke up but only just noticed starts to silence enabling me to be able to make out sounds. I flinch at all the new sensory information flooding into my head.
-"Yes! I can move&. Well, its only a little a subconscious flinch at the moment but it`s better than nothing."
I try to focus on the noises and realise that a few of the people in the room are talking in a foreign language that I have no comprehension of. Well I would like to say it`s talking. Although it looks like most are whispering, to me it sounds like they are yelling directly into my ears as loud as they possibly can.
-"Shut up before I grind your corpses into the ground and feast on your flesh".This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
-"Wait... what&& I keep having weird thoughts that I normally wouldn`t ha&&"
-"Where am I?... who am I? Who are these people? Why are there black lines in my vision"
Finally starting to think somewhat straight I realise I have no clue on where or what I am and&
-"A cage!!!! I AM IN A CAGE. WHO IN DAMNATION DARES TO PUT ME INTO A CAGE?".
I feel anger burst forth from deep within me and have the sudden compulsion to destroy everything I could lay my hands on. If feels like I am loosing myself so I attempt to calm myself by summarising all the information I currently had.
-"I am in a cage that is in a cave full of what appears to be medieval armed men. I can feel vibrations that I weirdly know is from me being carried and can see the red light getting further away. I am having violent and almost sadistic impulses that are not what I assume to be my normal self even though I have no idea what my normal self is and I am even talking to myself&.."
-"Option one is I am crazy with option two being I have been kidnappi& how old am I? GOD DAMN IT! How the hell am I meant to make sense of this without information...I wonder what it`s called when an adult is abducted?"
Feeling uneasy that at the monologue in my head I realise I have started drifting and decide to get back on subject. I scan the room focusing on a large man that appears to be giving out orders
-"I bet he is the leader of these men&& he must be the one who locked me in this cage& caused me, NO STOLE my memories and doesn`t even bother to give me an explanation&... I SHALL BATHE IN HIS BLOOD AFTER DINING ON HIS HEART USING HIS BONES AS TOOTHPICKS&."
The room disappears as I seem to rise upwards cutting off my view of the room and allowed me to cool down somewhat.
"-Well after that outburst and it feeling like there are three people in my head I guess I could add crazy to option one and two or maybe as its own option", I think slightly amused at my own joke before realising my emotions had gone 180.
-"Wow I am an emotional roller coaster, maybe I am in the cage for a good reason& or maybe people are just tired of living"
-"I guess I might as well sleep, tiredness would probably ruin the fun of slaughtering everyone here in the most gruesome wayfor having the nerve to put me in a cage."
-"looks like my thinking is starting to merge too, -2 madness for me"
I loose consciousness and drift off into a deep sleep.
