There now under her was hard solid blackness feeling smooth as ice. What happened? Looking to her body she saw the bullet wounds had faded forming uneasy feelings to swirl and twist at her stomach. Looking up she went wide eyed seeing herself before her through a dulled metal large frame but the outfit she saw being worn before her was darker in tone. The woman in the dark blood red and black dress sipped a glass of wine waving off in the air to two guards and a person in peasant clothing.398Please respect copyright.PENANAStQI6thTfd

The person crying begging to be spared but was drug off by the guards. The red head watched with shocked green eyes. Her throat felt like it began to tighten as she swallowed feeling frozen sitting on the ground till the woman took a sip of her wine. Forcing herself to stand the woman with vibrant red hair like fire moved quickly in her traveling cloths to try and get to them only to strike an invisible wall. Pounding on the clear wall she growled starting to shout he be released asking what he had done wrong. 398Please respect copyright.PENANAoYnL6GX9EU

The dark blood red haired woman in the chair sipped her wine calmly closing her eyes listening. This was greatly amusing as she listened to the shouts behind the clear wall. Removing the glass from her red lips her deeper darker emerald green eyes opened and she stood setting her glass down on a table as she moved with soft steps closer, coming to stand just inches away from the vibrant redhead. She reached a delicate hand out touching the smooth surface in front of her eyeing over the not so royal garb the fire redhead wore and took in her disapproving expression which only brought a sweet satisfied smile to her own lips. “Don’t you like the real you, you held so deep from all that being frowned upon with our dark powers?”398Please respect copyright.PENANAWYpYsrlRtk

“No, this can’t be so. No way this is the real me. I have to stop this. I will stop this. You won’t become real! I’ll make sure you don’t emerge again!” The words flew defiantly from the fire redhead’s lips body tensing when a lady like chuckle came from the blood redhead’s throat.398Please respect copyright.PENANA9x6iucTbdv

“No good dearie. Changing yourself will just delay the real you from coming into full view of all to see and flee in fear.” The darker dressed her said smirking then flicked the wall shattering it into glass making the lighter dressed her fall backwards to the ground. As she hit the ground it shattered and she fell screaming, her hands finding nothing as she tried to stop but was unable to.398Please respect copyright.PENANACq5PmeFrcs

She had no idea what was happening yelping as her body struck a black charred ground making dust fly up and as she stood a maze of walls of black and white rose around her effectively trapping her. Gulping she ran starting to try and navigate her way to find the center or an exit. Dust flew up as she ran pushing off a wall then another trying to find her way the dust growing, darkening the area bringing the gripping feeling of not fully being in control or feeling like she had control, surreal she felt it could be called. She turned a corner then another freezing in place shock reflecting in her eyes.398Please respect copyright.PENANAaXXUd08ml0

People danced in front of her wide eyes seeing their noble wears and their fluid moves. The garden area was well decorated and as she took the sights in her eyes noticed a form standing on a balcony back enough to be shadowed. This brought an uneasy wonder if the person were good or bad. A man approached giving her a soft charming smile as he offered a hand to her. “Hello, may I have this dance Lana?” his voice drew her eyes and mind back from her wondering his question almost throwing her a little as it felt unexpected.398Please respect copyright.PENANAdDuxKhbssA

“Dance? But…I…” looking down feeling unfit to dance in traveling clothing she turned her eyes down jumping a bit to see herself in a red and blue ball gown. “But…how? I haven’t worn this since…” her voice soft and quiet trailed off as she turned her eyes back to the man before her. “Er…yes…you may have this dance.” She knew him she knew that much but a name eluded her.398Please respect copyright.PENANAuRmFmGQ7kb

“Wonderful! This song is perfect for us to dance to. You also look very beautiful tonight Lana.” The man said gently taking her hand into his as she reached up and took his walking beside him onto the dance floor to start their dance together. Inside she wondered how he knew that nickname. It had been so long since she had been called that and it bothered her she was struggling to remember.398Please respect copyright.PENANArl2crKHC8h

Music began to play as life filled the lit nighttime gathering. Darkness played with the starlight in the heavens above the mortal’s heads as their own starlight flickered with their own lights from the lanterns. A young woman watched from above hearing the music a tango rhythm and her only words "show you what it feels like on the outside" in a soft whisper watching the young woman in a red and blue dance with eyes of innocent emerald.398Please respect copyright.PENANAWZYaLiVLrx

As the dance continued the watching woman's hand sparked with a deep blue almost black like the ocean began to dance around her hand then started climbing up her arm. The energy coming from this power snuffed out the candles in her room as dark sparks followed the ground below avoiding the other dancers while on its way for its target. As the girl danced she didn’t see the dark electricity forming under her but did look down as it began flowing up her legs darkening her dress with what appeared to be vines as the music continued to play and the dancers danced seemingly unaware of what was going on.398Please respect copyright.PENANA2qeGkuEDO5
