Chapter 1: Conquista

~*~

'The experiences we experience are the ones we remember most. We think that we had all our questions answered, but now a new one arises. Did you do it out of pity? Or did you do it out of love?'

My head throbbed immensely, and to top it off I was stuck in an unknown world, a world I had only seen in pictures. I only had a thin dress, it almost looked like a gown, practically made out of lace. The wind was still and cold and my auburn curls danced with the wind. A throbbing pain came from my abdomen, an unstoppable pain that took away what little strength I had left.

I was surrounded by trees, perhaps a park. Each tree swayed in harmony with the winds, and the leaves rustled as the crickets chirped, happily receiving the winter night. I looked around the place, it seemed awfully familiar, yet I had always seen it from a distance, from a picture, and now I was in it.

The place was empty and I remained there on my knees in the middle of the broad plain. "What am I doing here?" I asked to no one but myself. I surveyed my environment and out of nowhere and nothing a sort of portal opened before my eyes. A thin figure stepped out of it and then turned towards me, revealing his face.

His striking features surprised me, skin as pale as the moon overhead, green eyes dark as emeralds, and sorrowful tear marks on the bottom of his eyes, all of him mesmerizing me. He stared down at me, examining me, he seemed to question who I was, yet I knew who he was.

How many times had I seen his picture? How many times had I read about him? And now, no I was here with him. I had always preferred him over all the other characters, but in a way I had also feared him, for his immeasurable strength. The fear suddenly came back to me, and I felt an urge to run away from him, I felt an urge to go as far away from here as possible.

Gathering all the strength I could muster I made an attempt to get up. My legs wobbled below me and I did my best to steady myself. I slowly took a step back and saw that I could support my weight so I took another step back, but this time collapsing down. I landed on the cold grass, and felt weaker than I did before. I blankly stared at the man before me, and he began to take steps closer.

A rush of panic and distress overcame me and I made another vain attempt to stand up, only to be pulled down harder by gravity. I landed harshly on the ground, the man now steps away from me. He bent down closer, looking straight at my eyes, "Do I scare you?" he asked in a cold emotionless tone, which seemed ironic, since he was asking a question like that.

Scared of what he would do to me I shook my head softly. "No" I whispered. He didn't seem to believe me yet he gave a simple nod as he stood back up straight and put his hands in his pockets.

"Then why do you run?" he asked, leaving me without any words. He was right, I did fear him, but in an awkward way I didn't mind talking to him. I looked down at my hands who were shaking with fear or coldness, I couldn't tell. I felt my eyes began to water, for no reason really, it was me that had hurt him.

"I don't know," I answered truthfully, causing his gaze to return to me. He looked down at me, trying to read my thoughts further, but I knew it was of no use, I really had no idea, why I was afraid.

Before he or I could say anything the pain in my stomach felt fiercer and I felt myself cringe with the pain. I held my stomach tightly, wishing the pain would succumb, but moments passed before it went away. When I felt the pain slowly wane I managed to look up. I found Ulquiorra staring down at me in consternation, but I had no idea why. Little did I know that his next words would change my whole life.

"What was that?" he asked, almost demandingly. I looked up at him tiredly, the pains took a huge toll from me, but the truth was I had no idea. Since I had awoke in this world, the pains have been there.

"I don't know" I answered sincerely. He walked closer and knelt on one knee in front of me, gazing at me intently, trying to get more knowledge.

"That spirit energy. What are you?" he asked surprised, but to be truthful I was as surprised as he was. Spirit energy? I was definitely no soul reaper or hollow, I was really taken back at his question, and feared what I was or had become.

"Am I dead?" I asked almost in tears. He looked at me, not sure on how to answer my question. He closed his eyes and stood up, leaving me in a haze of thoughts and questions.

"Come, I think someone might be able to help you" he answered, and when I heard him say that I knew exactly who he was talking about. I had always read the comics, and I knew what was going on, no that I found myself in this world I was unsure on how to react. I knew that the arrancars were a threat, and that by following him I would putting myself in danger, but I felt something else as well. Something, that changed the way I thought, of what was right and wrong, I knew I had to go with him, I felt compelled to follow him.

I gave a small nod and began to try to get up when one of his pale hands extended towards me. Gratefully, I accepted it and let him lead me to Hueco Mundo, to my future. With a snap of his pale fingers a garganta opened and we were inside.

The reason I named this chapter Conquista (conquest) is because, well never mind don't want to spoil it, but just keep in mind that this is a romantic tale! Will get better, and it does sort of follow the Arrancar arc. Reviews are greatly appreciated! Ok, thank you and stay tuned! :)
