Must Escape
Slowly, slowly, I began to wake. Gradually, like a deep-water creature coming to surface, I swam upwards into consciousness.

I awoke with my head feeling as though it were made of light clouds. My breathing was slow and even. I felt relaxed, warm, safe. My surroundings were made of gentle light and colours, swirling lazily.

I looked down at my body. Dark! Angry! Evil! I clenched my claw-like fingers. I remembered my name, my purpose, and I remembered Them! Those pathetic humans who'd locked me in this cage!

I glared about at the coloured mists. I had to escape this...this monstrosity of light, peace, and...and...happiness!

I shuddered in revulsion and began thrashing desperately, striking out at my environment. But the ambiance was untouchable; the walls that confined me I couldn't break with my hands, and They had made sure I coudn't breach it with my mind. It was impossible! But I had to escape! Escape! ESCAPE!

Then I paused.

I was awake; I shouldn't have been, but I was. Something was different. Something was happening. My servants had come for me! I would break free and destroy those that opposed me! I would rule over the world at last!

Across from me, I saw a tear form in the light and colours. I struggled towards it as it grew. Finally, finally! I screamed with delight as I pulled myself from the hell!

But what was this? More radience? I did not understand; was I not in the mind of my new body on the mortal plane? The body my servants had diligently chosen for me?

I blinked my eyes and looked around me. Then I looked up...

...at Them. ARGH! Those damned humans had tricked me! I had escaped one shiny, happy prison for another in some innocent child!

"Ugh, will she always have his creepy red eyes?" asked one of Them.

"I'm a GIRL!?! Oh, you go too far!"
