Lost

Prologue...

I opened my eyes only to be greeted by darkness.

"Where am I?" My voice echoing off the smooth metal walls.

The pewter was ice cold, the frozen alloy freezing my hands. All I could make out was black nothingness; a void that never ends. The inexorable darkness growled and gorged, consuming me whole. I shut my eye's tightly, crying, wishing I was home. Yet, one sound was able to penetrate through this and resonate in my ears. Footsteps. I could hear them pacing outside the room. Back and forth….back and forth; his boots sending echoes everywhere. I pulled my legs up to my chest slowly, wincing from the pain that was engulfing me.

"Daddy help me.." I begged as tears began to seep down my cheeks and onto the floor. "Please help me.."

"Shut up in there! I don't want to hear a sound from you! Nothing!!"

The voice was deep and gruff, sending chills down my spine. Fear clutched at my heart as I laid there, hoping that the person outside would never open the door. Huddling there I found myself coughing again, warm blood once more starting to seep from the corner of my mouth. An uncontrollable fit of shudders ran through me as the coldness of the room seeped into my body.

Suddenly another set of footsteps could be heard. Yet, they were different, slower and louder than the others. They began to grow deafening as each strike of the large boots created loud claps of thunder n my ears. Then….they stopped and I held my breath, waiting….and waiting.

Slowly, the door swung open and bright light bathed the room with a false purity. Squinting my eyes, I could make out a tall, muscular figure in the doorway. Yet, this now comforting light soon disappeared as he walked in closing the door behind himself. Now once again I was trapped within the room's confining darkness yet another light appeared before my very own eyes. However this one would not be welcomed. A thin line of illumination encompassed the stranger's being, granting a dim glow to the bare chamber. I stared at him silently and shifted under his gaze. A slow deep burning sensation filled my chest and with a small gasp, I let out the air that I had forgotten I had been holding in. Gasping now, I tried to calm down, but the ever present pain and fear made this an impossible task.

The figure was a man, that was already obvious. He had Saiyan armor on, or rather it looked similar to Vegeta's. I could see a long fury appendage curled around his waist, but I wasn't quite sure what it could be….a tail perhaps? Through the faint glow that surrounded him, I began to study his face. He looked incredibly like my father except for a lone scar that streaked down the left side of his face. Yet what was also different was his eyes. They held no happiness or spirit as my father's pictures had shown, but a biting chill that sent shivers down my spine. Ironically enough, he smiled at me, apparently observing my behavior.

"Yes, you shall do fine."

His word were so sudden that I found myself in a bit of shock. That voice…..it complemented his eyes well. Deep, gruff and devoided of any emotion. Slowly he roamed my body with those cold-obsidian orbs; his words still echoing within my head.

He gaze deepened and his smile grew, "Just fine."

Short Prologue, I know…I re-posting a lot of my fics from ff.net here so it will take me a while to get all of the Lost chapters up. Sorry in advance.
