It would be quite foolish on my part to think that I had escaped all those times. I know what you are thinking and yes I used the plural meaning I have indeed escaped multiple times. That said, I do not believe any, save perhaps the last and I still question it, was a true escape. They allowed me to leave only to acquire me again. It was part of their fun you see. They opened the door and gave me freedom only to pull me back in and slam it shut. They granted me hope and dashed it each time. Because of this I have lived each day with the expectation that I will once again go back into servitude.

I have seen things, been forced to do things that I would wish upon no other. And yet I know others have shared my nightmares for some were with me when they occurred, others I watched. Not all of what they did was done to the physical self, no, in fact their greatest pleasure came in cracking a mind, shattering it so that the world never quite looks the same again. It is as if your view of the world is distorted, like looking in a fun house mirror and accepting what you see as the perfect truth... and perhaps it is.

The first time I got away I was reclaimed the next day. The second time they gave me a week and the third a month. The fourth I had a year and the fifth… the fifth is my present situation. It has been seven years and if I had to guess I should expect them some time in the tenth. That would seem the natural progression of things. But I will not go back, not this time. I will see myself splattered at the foot of a mountain before I would go back, but I know them, know how they work and I won’t have that choice to make. I sometimes wonder why they would let me go, other than the obvious mind screw bringing me back would cause. I have come to the conclusion that they do it because I have and had no family to go to. No mother, no father, taken too young to have any real relationships and only an orphanage to call home. The risk was well worth their reward each and every time. I have never looked, never bothered, to see if they put one of those things in my place. Would it really matter?

What am I? I am a cold thing, a shadow thing. I am a whisper on the wind, the words you almost heard. I am a secret a mere moment before being shared and lost forever. I am a ghost trapped in flesh, for I am dead inside. Most of all… most of all I am fear, for I am very much afraid.

Allies

If I have not done so then please add yourself to the list if we have made a tie or are in the process of doing so.

Capricious - Pending

Edria Meredith - Dreams can ease the pain, but nightmares leave their mark. Silence shall be my only answer to questions about what I have seen and done while you slept.

Gaius Arctorus - Strength through pain. You know of what I shall not speak, but it is always there even when I see you smile.

Green Man - Even if you do not always respond when I speak I know you have listened.

Race - I may not agree with your methods, ethics, or point of view, but I do recognize that those like yourself must exist in order for those like myself to have a purpose.

Saga - You know what I saw, you know I know more, and you know I won't tell you. I know that you could break me in two if you decided to do so. I call that balance.

Suicide King - Pending
