darkness surrounds everything, time seems to have stopped but in the void one thing still exists, pain and a lot of it every movement is agony and blackness surround me, I'm all alone now. and then as if looking at the sun for the first time I was shown a bright light which soon took the shape of a room after my senses recovered I looked around minding the sharp pains in my body. I saw I fireplace and a bookshelf in a room with walls which took the color of the inside of a tree and smelled of flowers and gentle spring breeze, it was morning and I could hear a bird chirping from the half open window. just then a door opened and a girl entered she was wearing servants clothes and her long blonde hair flowed over left eye with a little red pin holding the other side back, she was very quiet and tried not to make much noise as she placed a log on the small flame but upon doing so a stray spark landed on her arm and she quietly cried out in a voice like a little birds "ouch" the spark had burned her ever so slightly she saw me shift in my bed and quickly tidied up and left the room soon after the door opened once again this time a boy dressed in fine white clothes who had a bag with a cross on it, he took out a stick and stuck it in the fire until the end was, but an ember than he asked me to follow the light with only my eyes and I did so. than he said "you'll live" with a smile on his face and tossed the stick into the flames. "he's awake" he yelled suddenly then two people walked into the room the first a man in a suit of Armour that covered his entire body and a Girl dressed in a standard brown and green dress, "we thought you'd never wake up" said the girl. "who are you anyway?" said the armored man with the voice of a young boy, the girl looked over at the man and laughed,"brother, you're still wearing the suit, the man looked down and replied "oh ya I forgot to switch back" then he snapped his fingers and a poof of black smoke covered him. when it cleared the man was replaced with a boy who looked just like the girl but was slightly taller, the boy said in a cheerful voice " in Collin" than the girl responded " in Clover", "and yes we are twins" they said simultaneously, I nodded my head in complete and utter confusion then the boy dressed in white said "now you too leave him alone he's probably tired and sore", then I shifted into sitting up position and replied "no it's alright I'm feeling a little bit better", clover smiled and said " still why don't you rest a while and we can talk when you wake. I agreed and lay back down into the bed and drifted into sleep. wondering why I could not remember how I got here or why I was hurt
