Chapter 1

Haze consumes me black around me but a warm feeling surrounds me. It felt like being wrapped in a warm blanket or the embrace of someone you love. It felt amazing as if a feeling that I wouldn't ever want to lose yet it was just too good to be true. All of a sudden it came to an end abruptly leaving me a sad but cold feeling in its stead. Then a sharp pain started to enveloped my head, feeling as if my skull was being cracked then ripped apart with my strings of hair coming with it.

Awakened by the pain continuing to envelope me, I broke into cold sweat wishing for it to stop but it wouldn't. Although the agony wouldn't leave it as if it continued to shrink into smaller parts. Soon releasing it was surrounding my eyes as they started to shed tears that trickled down my cheeks became a waterfall of blood within the next few minutes. The pain felt as if it was tearing my eyes out, as I dug my nails into my skin laying there for who knows how long soon to realize I had fainted from over exertion.

At some point I woke up feeling better as if thinking all of that was a distant dream but a painful dream but to realize my bed was soaked with blood and sweat. Now knowing it wasn't a dream I was worried about what had happened. I tried to get up but I felt sore all over with a dizziness lingering within me. Somehow I managed to get to my bathroom only to be baffled by my appearance. I had light blue hair and eyes that looked glossy but bright. "I know I had black hair and green eyes before so what's with this new appearance?" I said in confusion.

I didn't know what had happened but trying to figure out what did might be a problem for me since I can't go to the hospital since I practically have no money and I doubt they know about people going through whatever that was. Since I have no way to explain it, the only thing I can do is either try to get used to this and forget or try to find out on my own. "Ahhh, this is too much thinking!" I already have too much on my plate to be doing this shit. I need to find some sort of job to pay for my life only because the money my parents left behind is almost gone due to me wanting more food down my throat. "Leaving me as a 10 year old to try to survive on this wretched planet." I state in frustration.

Since nobody wants a 10 year old working for them, the only choice I have left is doing manual labor at the docks or helping in with shipping goods since that is the last place and probably the only place that will take a child's help since they are always asking for help.

After thinking over my future plans I decided to take a shower and change my sheats. As soon as I hit head on the pillow I snuggled up in my blankets I looked outside through my window watching the stars as I drift to sleep. As I slept I saw a small shape as if the shape of a small child talking and laughing with me speaking muffled sounds as another child came over as if yelling at the child and I. Only for the child and I to laugh at it, it all felt so real. I wanted to continue to talk but all of a sudden It felt like I was drifting away from the dream that echoed throughout my mind as I sat in an black abyss awaiting to awaken again.
