It was a very dark room. Her eyes weren't accostumed to that darkness yet, so she put her hands in front of her to feel the walls and their limits. It was bad enough not knowing where she was, but the worst thing was that rythmical sound that was driving her crazy.

Too loud to be a clock, she couldn't quite place what could be making that noise. She walked and walked, but couldn't find the ending of the room. It was like an unending corridor, dark and wet. There were only two small windows, but it was a night woith no moon and the light was very scarce.

She didn't know where she was, or what was she doing there. And somewhere, something was ticking. She realized she was holding a gun on her hands, what only increased her anxiety. She saw the shadow of another room, and went there.

"Hello? Is anybody in here?"

Suddenly, she heard shots, coming her way. Instinctively, she ducked and put her hands on her head, to portect herself. She tried to remember what was she doing there, and how did she arrived there... but couldn't. She heard some footsteps behind her, and her breathing quickened. She started thinking on an effective way to protect herself, gun at the ready, when she heard a soft voice.

"Ariadne? Are you all right?"

She turned her face and saw that familiar face. Arthur. It calmed her somewhat, Arthur was the kind of guy who always knew what to do. But it was a bit confusing, too. Was she on a job? Where was the rest of the people then?

"Arthur! What is this place?"

"You don't remember?" he asked "Well, that's not important, the important thing right now is to get out of here. Follow me, I'll find us a way out."

I did follow him. I was happy to see Arthur. I hadn't seen him since the last job, and his presence was always reassuring. There he was, perfectly aware of everything that was going on, moving with that quiet elegance of his.

Suddenly, more shots came on their direction. Ariadne tried to return some of them, but she only hit the walls. This was getting bad, if they continued like that they would never get out. When the shots stopped Ariadne started walking forward, but Arthur wouldn't move.

"Run as fast you can, Ariadne. Get out."

Oh-oh. That didn't sound good.

"Arthur?"

But he didn't answer, he just fell to his knees. Ariadne turned around to face him and saw a terrible sight. Her friend's shirt was blossoming red, and he had a hand clutched to his stomach. Blood was pooling under him as he had also been hit on a leg.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no..."

"Please, Ariadne, you have to leave." He said, drowning his screams of pain as best as he could. "You have to leave."

Ariadne decided to take control of the situation and took Arthur's face with his hands. Her scared eyes met his, and the pain on them scared her even more. But it was time to be in charge.

"I'm not leaving you, Arthur. We're getting out of here, and I will take you to a hospital, and you'll be ok, don't worry..."

But the young man's eyes closed and he collapsed and fell to the ground. Ariadne shook him and called his name, but he was still unresponsive.

And her hands were full of blood.

Arthur was dying right in front of her.

In a small appartment in somewhere Paris, Ariadne woke up screaming.

A/N: What did you think? I know it's not a great start, but it will get better! Ijust felt the need to do an Inception fanfic...And don't worry, even if the main characters are Arthur and Ariadne, some others will appear too. Please excuse my spelling/grammar mistakes (English is not my first language) and tell me what you think! You know you want review!
