Chapter One - I've Been Losing Sleep

Hey guys! Since Remembered is going to go on a somewhat indefinite break till I decide how I'll continue it, I decided to put this story on in the mean time! After all, I promised you guys it was coming. ;) I hope you guys like it!

I hope this story won't disappoint! It is the last story in the Blank Space trilogy, so there will be no more stories after this in this series. However, I will be posting lots of fanfictions, so don't think once the ones I have are finished I'm done! I have all sorts of ideas floating around in my head. ;)

Also, what's a good ship name for the Grimorie and Jared, so I can refer to it as such in my profile when I list ships in my stories? I have no idea what a good one is, so if you go, put it in your review!

Jared. It has to have been because of Jared. He fed me that stupid pill and then locked me in these stupid dungeons to make sure I didn't escape. The idiot. I won't give up because of some stupid, iron chains. Or because I'm still slightly confused.

Wait a minute. Where's Mina? The Grimorie is still out there. Plus, I don't like the thought of her being with Jared. Where is she? I need to find her. If she isn't near me or Jared, and if we neglect her, she'll die. I can't let that happen.

"Mina?" I call out, hoping maybe she's in the prison cells. I don't know why, but I just want to know she's here somewhere. There's no response though, unless you count my echo.

The door opens at the end of the dungeons, flooding it with light. In steps the Grimorie, smirking. My blood boils at the mere sight of her. What is she doing here? She walks to my cell, but instead of turning to me, turns to the one across from me. She opens the door, and I catch a glimpse of a figure huddled in the corner. But I can't make out any features.

A laugh hits the air. Not a happy giggle or chuckle. A crazed laugh. I can't tell if it's made by the Grimorie, or by the figure laying huddled limply in the cell, but it doesn't sound good at all.

The Grimorie - you know, I just realize now how stupid her name is, and wish I could taunt her safely about it - bends down, and I catch a glimpse of a syringe being produced. What? What on earth is she doing?

She stands back up, and suddenly her form shifts to Mina. What? What is she playing at? Is she trying to trick me or something? Or...Perhaps she's tricking Jared? But then why plunge a syringe into someone? Unless...

The Grimorie steps out of the cell, and I catch a glimpse of the color of the hair of the figure inside. They seem to be twitching, but all I can think about is the horrifying thought of who they are. They're-

I fall back into unconsciousness.

Someone's POV

I open my eyes to darkness. The lights have been on and off in my head, but it's always dark. Sometimes I feel like I'm floating. Other times I feel like I'm entrapped, chained down. I want to make it lighter, to find out where I am. But something stops my magic from working.

More often than not I find myself chained. At first it was the other way around. I was floating more often, and I prefer it. I feel comfortable then. Now? Now I don't feel comfortable. Or safe. No, I don't feel safe. Someone sometimes comes, and I never know what they're doing. However, whatever they do really hurts, and they always do it when I feel trapped. I also feel insanely weak. It hurts to move around too much. It hurts to breathe sometimes too. Like right now.

Loud screaming starts in my head. This happens all the time. It's actually very painful, and I don't like hearing what they scream. I don't understand it most of the time. But when I do, I always forget, just left without the shock and fear from what they say.

Over the screaming, I hear someone - how do I know the voice, again? - calling out. "Mina!"

The pain in my chest subsides a little, and I lift my head up to try and look around. Who's calling? I can't see anyone in the dark. Obviously someone is. Who is this Mina they want though? I've heard that name before.

"Mina, I can see you moving!" It confuses me. I don't hear the rattle of chains from anywhere else except my cell. Then again, I'm having trouble hearing with the screaming. Who is this person talking to? "Answer me!"

I try to shift, to get a better look at who's talking. But I can't see them in the dark. Where are they? Across from me? Around me? In my had? Are they a figment of my imagination, sent to drive me even more mad than I am already?

"Mina! Don't ignore me!" The voice starts to gain a desperate edge as I wrack my brain for who matches the voice. No one comes to mind though.

I pull forward, but something stops me from getting as close to the door as I'd like. My eyes are wide, my hair is a mess, yet I don't even realize it, or care, for that matter. I want to know who this is calling for this Mina. Who is she? How do I know her and this person who's calling for her? Why can't I remember?

I hear rattling of chains from the cell across, and it echoes loud and clear over the screaming in my head. I peer as close as I can, trying to make it out in the darkness. And then, I see icy, blue eyes, staring at me. Where have I seen them before?

"Mina!" The icy, blue eyes. That's who's talking. But who are they?

A ripple of pain hits my chest, and I collapse onto the ground.

Yes, yes, I know this is a bit confusing. Who is this mysterious person that we just saw the perspective of? Well, that we will be finding out...Later. Haha! Yes, I know it's cruel. I promise, it will be revealed later. ;) How much later I cannot say though...

Any guesses on who it was? I think you guys will probably know, but I will not answer anything for sure until it's time and it's revealed in the story.

Alright, I'm gonna say four reviews for the next chapter of this!
