Celia was sitting in her room, curled up in a ball. Her  adopted father had been cruel to her, all her life she had known it. When she had  started working for the master, and he had offered her  a room and board she thought it was over. How wrong she had been! The man seemed to beat her at every opportunity. But she had been beaten all her life, she was used  to it. The worst past was the trauma to her mental state. At moments he seemed kind  and  caring, wanting to help her  nurture her and love her, but at other moments he was  cruel, unusual and put her down for the work she had  done.<br/>Her short red hair tickled her nose as she thought of her  life. She wanted  to get away, but she loved her master with a love  she couldn't understand. Little did she know, that he had  been  causing her  to feel that  way with his powers. He  wanted  to own her, nobody else  could touch her. Her light blue eyes  opened seeing something strange happening in her  room. It  seemed a dark hole was opening up on the wall. She was scared, thinking she had lost it. But, something drove her to see if the hole was  real. She  slipped her hand  over, feeling it go through. It was a strange feeling indeed. Tingly, almost like hope that she been waiting for all these  years.<br/>She glanced behind her, to make sure  that her  master wasn't going  to check on her, then moved her  body  all the way through the portal.<br/>Where  she found herself was odd, it seemed to be  an  empty stage surrounded by...well a world she couldn't describe. So much was happening it was hard to put words  to it. Other stages  were  there, seeming to be putting on plays. Towards her, she saw a black steed moving towards her. As it got closer, she felt  that  all the nightmares she had  ever had  crowding her mind. But, due to her life nightmares  didn't bother her  to much.They weren't real, reality was worse. She held her hand in front of her.<br/>"Get away from me!"<br/>She  wasn't sure  why she was  saying that, the steed  wouldn't understand. Though this place was  so odd, who knew perhaps it would.
