Jen Pov

I twisted the nod, to reveal the outside garden. I manage to step on the cement ground without stumbling.

As I did, I heard that deep chuckle. My feet began to move forward, as I look around, hoping he wasn't here.

"Found you~" and with that, I broke into a run. I stumbled from time, to time, but I didn't care. I needed to get out of here. Soon, I exited the place as I enter a town. I didn't know where I was going, but I kept running.

In the background, the sun was ready to set, as it slowly dips itself down. The colors of the sky becoming unique and bright.

My running slowed down, as I pause for air. I kept on panting, and gasping for air, but my throat seemed so dried. I look around, but only to realize that everyone was staring at me. I only sigh, straightening myself and walking away this awkward moment.

It wasn't really awkward... but everyone was staring at me. My spined chilled, literally. So I couldn't help, but leave the situation. It felt weird, so I left like that.

I enter an ally, not caring about the awful stench or the dirty walls and ground.

Memories came across my mind, as I walked along the dirty ally. I was alone. I was lost. I was cold. I was hurt.

My mind wondered why I have left. I could've stayed with them, and told them about my source.

My eyes stung, as my mind kept replaying the memories I have made with my nakama.

Nakama? What does that word even mean anymore. I don't understand what is going on anymore. All I know it that I'm alone. Forever.

Where am I? I'm lost. Where's the warmth? I'm cold. Where is my strength? I'm hurt.

Questions ran around my head, but it didn't matter anymore. I lost my home. My friends. My hope. My dreams. My love.

I wish I could have my friends again. I wish I could have my warmth again. I wish I can be healed again.

Everything seemed impossible. I don't know what to do with my life anymore. The more I think about it, the more I just wanna burst out crying. The more I wanted to burst out crying, the more I wanna go back home. The more I want to go back home, the more trouble I'm going to be. Why must this happen to me? Why must I stay here and continue with this awful life? It doesn't make sense. Nothing make sense...

Hot tears course down my soft cheeks, my feet becoming cold from the cement below and my head becoming heavy with thoughts.

All the noises around me, faded. Not a speck of noise can be heard through my ears. My thoughts were just too distracting, I just couldn't hear the noise.

Soon, I reached a forest. I continued walking, not at all caring if I was going to be attacked by a bear or wolf.

My voice hitched, as I only kept on panting. Everything became so dark and cold. It was like a winter night...

"Well, I best be going. Adventure waiting impatiently ya know," I nervously laugh and grab my bag and ran outside. I was about to jump over the railing until someone pulled me back.

My head turn, only realizing it was Luffy.

"If you want, join my crew. We can have a adventures together and with nakama! It's your decision."

I blink, looking around. What just happened? I felt like I blacked out for a minute...

I shrugged, letting it pass. I can worry about that later, right now I have to worry about escaping.

I began to run, seeing an opening.

Is this hope? Is this freedom? Will I be able to happy again? Someone, save me!!

I ran, only to meet a cliff. More tears ran down my cheeks, as memories kept replaying.

Luffy...

"Luffy...." I whispered. A whistle of wind passed my ears, as I close my eyes. "Luffy...!"

Emotions and memories ran throughout my head, as I stood at the tip cliff.

Luffy...

Sanji...

Chopper...

Nami....

Robin....

Franky....

Brook....

Zoro....

"LUFFY!! I'M RIGHT HERE! COME AND SAVE ME!! I WANT TO GO BACK!! PLEASE!! TASUKETE!!" I shouted. I kept on shouting Luffy, not caring who was listening.

I want to be free again. I want to be with my nakama again. I want that warmth again. I want that love again. I want my dream again.

"LUFFY!! WHERE ARE YOU?! PLEASE!! TASUKETE!!" I yelled again, more tears rolling down my cheeks. "LU-"

"Got'cha."

"What the-" suddenly, my mouth was covered with a cloth, as my arms we're locked. I struggle, the grip on my arms becoming tighter. I soon felt myself grow weak, and I stop struggling. I breathe in, only to get an awful scent of something. My head felt dizzy, my eyelids becoming heavy.

"Go ahead... fall asleep... I'll protect you..." said that same manly voice. His venomous voice caused my spine to chill. My eyes we're completely closed, only my ears hearing what's around me. "Have a nice rest... little one..."

Time Skip

My eyes flutter open, but only to shut them tight again. Light was beaming on my face, as voice chimed in my ears. After a while, my eyes adjusted to the light, making my vision clear.

I look around, I was in a white room, medics and nurses talk amongst eachother. My eyes squint, seeing needles and bottles of medicine on a table next to me.

"So you're finally awake," said a familiar voice.

"Doflamingo..."

"Surprise~" he chirped, sitting down on a chair next to the bed. "Now, we can talk."

"What do you want?" I hiss. He chuckled, gesturing my hand.

"I just want you to work with me."

"Like hell I would," I hiss again, nearly sitting up. Doflamingo pushed me back.

"This is your last chance Jen. We can either do it the easy way, or the hard way," Doflamingo warned, as I growled at him.

"Why should I? I'm just a-"

"Your something important... now... answer the question," he said calmly. I look down, thinking.

"No."

"Okay. I guess the hard way it is..."
