Darkness in a Dark Romance

Summary:

Lílian never imagined that one day she could return, that someone would find her and she would finally be released from her prison of loneliness.

Well, looks like she was wrong, doesn't she? After all, a great story needs a great protagonist! (Even though she's not that tall...)

(It got better in my language.)

Notes:

Firstly, English is not my first language, there will be mistakes for sure as I've only recently started to learn it. If you notice any mistakes please let me know as it will help my learning.

(Thanks to my dear Beta Madu who is helping me to reduce errors!)

I warn you in advance that I am a lazy writer, updates WILL take time, I urge you to be patient as I also have a degree. I will try to update as much as possible during the holidays, but when the school year starts it will be more difficult.

I also work based on creativity, so pray that it will always be there.

I think that's it, if you have any more information that you think you should know I'll update. Thanks for your attention.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Dark, that's all I could see, a sea of pure darkness. I don't even remember how it got to this, one moment I was happy with my family and the next… the next I arrived here, with no hope of returning. There is no one else around me. For years, I have waited for them to come rescue me from my prison. 

 

Unfortunately this is not a fairy tale. 

 

Every now and then I think I hear sounds, see colors, but then I remember that there's no way that could happen. It's on my mind. Every sound and image. A remnant of my past that every day seems like an empty and colorless memory. The faces and voices getting lost, even when I do everything to keep them. 

 

They're all that's left of my life. 

 

I feel that the best years were the early ones, I was in a deep sleep, time flew like the crows of the Kingdom. Unfortunately the next few years weren't very kind to me, right after I woke up I noticed that there was nothing to see around, silence reigned and I quickly realized that he would become a good friend. 

 

Gradually, my sense of space and reality were lost more and more, disappearing through the dark slime around me along with my increasingly fragile sanity, and even with all my skills I had no way to fight it. After all, how to fight an unreal enemy?

 

There is, if I had been told years ago that I would find myself in this situation I probably would have laughed and said that my family would not allow it. Well, it seems like we can't believe everything, can we?

 

Getting lost in thought is currently the best way to pass the time, I've had a lot of time to rethink my life, even if my young mind isn't the best place to be. What I did most was to avoid thinking about some past problems, it wasn't worth it, it never was.

 

During my time here I thought I would never leave, sure, it's possible but unlikely. Fortunately - or unfortunately according to the point of view - I really am getting the chance to leave, which I must say, makes me happy more than I imagined.

 

The conversations started some time ago, I paid close attention hoping to receive information on where I am and what happened while I was sleeping. Thanks to the Gods I received a lot of information, even if at times I had to escape into my mind.

 

At the moment I'm saving energy, waiting for the moment when I can ask for help, I'm praying that it works out.

 

It's time to get out of this shitty place!

 

Notes:

Help, how to add the amount of chapters it will have? 🤡
I learned it.
Well, there will be 20 or more I think.
