The darkness enveloped Cadence, her small form sitting alone in the gloom. Her bright green eyes searched the bare concrete wall for shadows caused by the meager light entering into the room. [color=8dc73f]"I've never seen a real cat before,"[/color] Louisa's voice chirped out, [color=8dc73f]"I want to pet one so badly, I've heard their hair is even softer than my hair."[/color] Her young figure stayed silent for a moment as she stared intently at the discoloured surface and then exclaimed, [color=8dc73f]"You've pet one?!" [/color]Her child self crossed her arms and pouted,[color=8dc73f] "That's not fair..." [/color] Turning away from her friend annoyed at the unequal experiences, her world swirled and changed around her. Now in front of her stood a large steal safe that was as a tall as a full grown man. Even now at the older age of seven, the safe seemed to loom over her. [color=9e0b0f] "You just have to break the safe," [/color]came a gruff voice from behind her. Louisa looked over her shoulder at the large adult man who was watching her with impatience, [color=9e0b0f]"This one is an easy one, you just got to think of a rhyme."[/color] Louisa nodded weakly and then turned back to look at the solid metal wall. Gulping loudly, she clenched and unclenched her sweating hands a few times before she took a big breath and started to speak. [color=8dc73f] "Safe that is made out of metal open up and .. and..."[/color] Louisa stuttered for a few seconds before she fell silent and looked towards her feet, her hands clenching up once again. [color=9e0b0f]"Fucking useless, you can't even think of a goddamn rhyme."[/color] Harsh hands grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around to face the disgruntled man. Louisa tensed up her body as she dared not to look away from the ground, a piece of paper was shoved into her vision. [color=9e0b0f]"Here take this and just read it out, even you can do that much."[/color] Her shaking hands reached out and took the piece of paper that was being jabbed at her. Quickly turning back around to face the safe, she tried to catch her breathe and look down at the document. [color=8dc73f]"Do- door in front of me become broken and make tha-that the thafe will b-"[/color] Louisa noticed her error just a moment before a shock of electricity hit her in the back. Her body cramping up and becoming rigid, her world turned back to black as she felt her body fall towards the unforgiving hard ground. Her thin frame slammed in to the ground as a young boy her age pressured his weight down upon her. She screamed out loud as she tried unsuccessfully get out of his grip. A shrill whistle blew and she was standing back up again facing the same nine year old kid she had considered her friend. [color=440e62]"You can do better than this,"[/color] a sharp voice interjected Looking up at the the severe face of an older woman, Louisa felt herself shrink at the words. She wanted to say many things but as she scratched at the collar, all that ended up coming out was, [color=8dc73f]"but.. I don't have the green sparkle"[/color] The trainer tsked at her in disappointment, [color=440e62]"You don't need magic, you have been trained for this. Now line up and go again."[/color] The shrill whistle rang throughout the small room again. A punch instantly came for her face, and she quickly dodged the attack. Throwing her own punch at the young boy, she found her arm being grabbed and she was once again getting pulled towards the ground. Crashing on to the ground with the heavy body leaning down on top of her, Louisa felt the air get knocked out of her lungs. It wasn't over not yet, she knew she couldn't leave it at that and so she made a quick swipe at his legs as she tried to unbalance him. He had seen it coming though and his full weight now upon her, he jabbed hastily at her face. Louisa felt shock and pain but before she could do anything else, the hits just kept coming and she saw the darkness once again creep into her vision. The earsplitting cry of sirens rang through her head and she ran as her heart ran a million miles a minute. Suddenly coming screeching to a stop she stared down the corridor of flashing lights as she looked at the figure of a familiar man in front of her. [color=ed1c24]"Where do you think you are going, little girly?"[/color] came the nauseating sweet tone over the ringing alarms. The baton in his hands lit up with the give away warning of electricity, as he smirked looking down at her twelve year old self. Her breathing heavy and her heart beating loudly into her ears, Louisa steadied her nerves before she leapt forwards at the warden. Startling awake from the feverish nightmares, Cadence's body shot up and before she could even realize she was no longer dreaming and her fist solidly struck what was in front of her.
