♤{Y/n's POV}♤

{Flashback}

I stared out into the open field as one of my friends sat next to me. I then looked at them, and asked them a question.

"Hey Isor..."

My friend looked down at them and spoke.

"What is it Y/n?"

I looked down at my hands and fiddled with them

"What happens after Eden?"

My friend tensed, before sighing and looking up at the sky.

"Oh...well...we go somewhere very very nice...and...and very far away...where all the spirits are..."

"Isor?"

"Yes?"

"Why do I miss my friends who haven't returned from eden?..."

Silence took over...and Isor looked at me...before looking back out into the fields of Daylight prairie.

"...You don't have to miss them...one day...you can see them again...and again...and again...until one day, you can stay up there with them...and I will be up there...waiting..."

"What does that mean?..."

I asked...and then...Silence was my answer.

°•°{Present}°•°

I walked into a giant box like thing, and took a seat as I looked at the man who was the one behind the red door.

"I will not be going with you. Someone else will be down there, and she will get you settled in just fine."

I nodded, and with that...the doors shut and the things began to move. Suddenly a box started to glow with pictures and the man's voice was heard once again.

He began to talk about things that are happening in his world...yet...I couldn't understand a thing...

My eyes were glued to the glowing box, not noticing anything outside of the thing I was in.

After a bit I felt the thing I was in jerk to a stop, causing me to fall out of my seat. I slowly got off the ground and rubbed my head.

I looked up and saw the door opening and there stood...uh...hm. what is she?

A lady that seemed to also a animal of sorts stood there, she had no mouth but had black eyes with white pupils.

But her eyes seemed expressive enough because I could tell she was smiling in some way.

She began to make motions with her hands, which I seemed to understand. For some reason.

'Hello there young one. My name is Mother Cotton. I'll be taking care of you for the time being.'

(Mother Cotton is my smiling critters OC and you can find her on my tiktok account lol)

I looked at the strange looking lady before just nodding.

She offered a hand for me to take in my own, so I grabbed to her hand as she began to lead me somewhere.

The surrounding area...it felt so...fake.

Yet it felt like a home.

Mother Cotton took me down a small set of stairs and pointed to a sign of sorts and doing the thing with her hands again.

'I am sadly on a very limited time my child. So I can not give you a tour. But if you don't know where to go or ever get lost, just look at this sign or ask a caretaker.'

I studied the sign for a moment, taking in how everything was placed and what each place was called.

Mother Cotton then took my hand once again and began leading me somewhere again.

We seemed to be going to some door that was hidden among all the stuff around us.

It was actually right by the thing that took me here. We entered through the door and after a couple turns, and Mother Cotton avoiding a area I could not see.

We ended up in a room that reminded me of one back at that one place back home.

I think it was called a Office?

But that place had a room where you could change your outfit. This room was the same.

There was a section where you could gets some shirts of any suited size same thing goes for pants.

There were also shoes. Which I did not have.

{Cuz, like you know. The normal outfits don't usually have shoes. And moths don't have shoes. K I'll stop.}

But the weird thing was that there was no section for capes or masks.

It was truly odd.

Mother Cotton began to speak on her strange way once again.

'You can choose your own clothing. I don't wanna pick anything you may not like.'

I nodded and went off to go look for something I could wear.

{Here are a couple outfits for inspiration.}

{I even tried searching up kidcore and couldn't find any outfits that were that good. Also I'm not saying you have to use these outfits you can make up your own if you wish.}

I grabbed the clothes I wanted and went into a changing room. Once finished I walked out of the changing room holding my old clothes that were all folded up.

The only thing I kept on were my mask. I tried to wear my cape too. But I remember the man from before saying he wanted me to blend in.

So I had to fold it up along with the other clothes.

Once I left the dressing room I was met with Mother Cotton standing there and holding a bag.

She handed me the bag before 'speaking'

'I figured you would like a bag to keep your clothes in for now. Found it with a couple other things that we would sometimes give children.'

I took the bag and peaked inside seeing that there was surprisingly plenty of room.

I carefully set my old clothes inside and closed it before putting it on my back.

Mother Cotton led me back out of the area and back into the fake world.

Mother Cotton then brought me in front of a building I think I saw labeled 'School'

Another person in a white coat waited at the front. Mother Cotton then put me in the person's care before walking off somewhere.

The person led me into the building and began to speak.

"This is the school, here you'll learn a lot of things from all the teachers! Now let's get you to your class."

The person said in a friendly tone. But something felt fake about it.

We stopped in front of a red door decorated with stickers and kids drawings.

The person knocked on the door and another person answered the door.

But she didn't seem that real at all.

The new person was another lady, and she seemed normal but not normal at the same time.

Her smile was wide and her eyes were very dark. She then spoke, here smile not moving.

"𝕆𝕙 𝕚𝕥'𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦! 𝕀 𝕤𝕖𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦'𝕧𝕖 𝕓𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕞𝕖 𝕒 𝕟𝕖𝕨 𝕤𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕖𝕟𝕥!"

The lady said as she crouched down to my height. I slightly backed away and behind the person's leg.

"𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖'𝕤 𝕟𝕠 𝕟𝕖𝕖𝕕 𝕥𝕠 𝕓𝕖 𝕤𝕙𝕪! 𝕀'𝕞 𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕤 𝔻𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥! 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕪 𝕥𝕖𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕤, 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕞𝕪 𝕤𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣'𝕤."

The lady- I mean...Miss Delight. Held out a hand and I hesitantly took it.

Her tone of friendliness felt more real than the person in the white coat.

Miss Delight waved the person goodbye before taking me into the room. She took in front of many tables that had many kids sitting in them.

Each one was doing their own thing. Some talking, some drawing, some even playing some sort of game that involves drawing on paper.

But either way it was a bit loud, Miss Delight cleared her throat and held up 3 fingers and began to count down with them.

In the short given time, all the kids fell silent and were looking at her.

"ℂ𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕕𝕣𝕖𝕟, 𝕀 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕠 𝕞𝕖𝕖𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕟𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕔𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕗𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕠𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕝𝕝!"

Miss Delight then looked at me. I glanced between her and the kids that sat in their chairs.

I couldn't talk.

I couldn't think.

Why can't I speak?

What's going on with me?

Miss Delight seemed to note something in her mind before looking back at all the other kids.

"𝕀𝕥 𝕤𝕖𝕖𝕞𝕤 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕟𝕖𝕨 𝕤𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕕𝕠𝕖𝕤 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕗𝕖𝕖𝕝 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕥𝕒𝕝𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘. ℕ𝕠 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤, 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕒 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕣𝕪 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕜 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕞 𝕒𝕥 𝕝𝕦𝕟𝕔𝕙."

All the kids glanced at each other, some even whispering.

What are they talking about?

Is it about me?

Did I do something wrong?

What is it?

Miss Delight then placed a hand on my shoulder and looked down at me before speaking.

"𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕞𝕒𝕪 𝕘𝕠 𝕤𝕚𝕥 𝕟𝕖𝕩𝕥 𝕥𝕠 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕠𝕕𝕠𝕣𝕖. 𝕊𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕤 𝕞𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕨𝕠 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕒𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕘."

She said pointing at a kid who sat in the back. I nodded before walking towards the empty seat next to the boy.

Why did it feel like there were so many eyes on me...

I sat down in the spot refusing to look up at the front.

Why did I just...freeze up?

...I've never done that before...

°•☆•°•☆•°•☆•°•☆•°•☆•°•☆•°•☆•°

Ending it here rn.

Anyone ever done that? Just like freeze up?

I do it all the time whenever I gotta present something in class lol.

Anyway sorry for the long wait and the chapter being a bit short.

See you all next chapter!
