[B]Vix[/b] - [i]The Awakening[/i] Muffled sounds outside the cylinder of green and glass caused Vix to stir in her forced slumber. A concoction of dreams and nightmares shifted slowly through her subconscious, gifting her with the memories that had occurred. All she could recall was the bumbling of tue truck along the road, and her initial terror and panic. Yet when it stopped, she had readied to fight her way out of the madness she had accidentally fell into. There was a light from the doors opening ever suddenly, a flash, and then nothingness. An abysmal slumber that seemed to stretch on for days, even though it was only a matter of a few hours. A shrill alarm resounded through the air, causing her to stir once more. Curling up into a little ball inside the cylinder as she reflexively tried to protect the sensitive hearing of her ears. Despite that, she still slept. Something about the emerald depths seemed so warm, so comforting, she didn't have the will to leave it. However, there was a shattering of glass, and outward she was limply poured onto the linoleum floor beneath. She stirred again, shivering in the cold before a set of hands picked her up. Everything came in so much clearly now, the sound of voices yelling, laced with haste and panic as her eyes, now of deep, brown warmth slowly opened to a new voice. A familiar one, belonging to the one who had picked her up and was hitting her cheek in the attempt to wake her. The shrill scream of the alarm made her weakly flinch, causing her fingertips to dig into the fabric of her trainer's shirt as she vainly tried to bury her ears into the fold of his arms. It was so loud that it hurt, and the grit of her teeth indicated the pain they caused. Yet despite that, she slowly turned to realize that this indeed wasn't just another dream, it was all too real. Tears had begun to well up in the cirner of her eyes as her gaze widened, and the world returned to focus. "J-Jaden?" She said softly, miserably, with her voice carrying a melancholy tune that was deeper, and far more beautiful than the voice she had once held. "I c-can't walk, not yet. I can barely mm-move my legs. Save the others and leave me, g-go!" [@ Raijinslayer] [@ Saltwater Thief]
