Adelaide shot awake with watering, red eyes. She had woken up to black fog and the choking odor of scorched wood. She was blinded by the combination of smoke and her own tears. A thick, acrid aroma drifted through the one-roomed cabin like incense, surrounding the young woman in its heavy clouds. "For fuck's sake." She mumbled as she struggled to untangle herself from the blanket. Her head felt as heavy as the smoke around her and every instinct inside her was telling her to bolt out of there. She waved the billowing smoke out of her face as the sound of crackling flames reached her ears. She could make out the sight of smoldering flames through her squinted eyes, hungrily sweeping across the wooden logs that held up the cabin. Common sense finally clicked in and she hauled her backpack, which had a crossbow attached to it, and a rifle over her shoulder. She gazed around the room, coughing hysterically.

The door hadn't been overcome by flames yet fortunately. She ran outside and leaned her palms on her knees, panting as her lungs got a taste of oxygen. Once she had caught her breath, she turned to look upon the one-room abandoned cabin she had been residing in. Dark smoke billowed into the morning sky, which was a beautiful mix of pink and orange as the sun rose over the horizon. Adelaide could only get a glimpse of it between the trunks of the trees unfortunately. She wiped dirt off her jacket as she watched it begin to crumble. "What an alarm clock."She muttered under her breath.

It was starting to register to her that this fire did not happen on accident. Someone had been either been bored and felt like burning someone to death, or they had been trying to force her out of the house out into the open. She did a quick scope of the area, stepping backward as silently as she could out of the open area. There was a forest surroundings the area and she had plenty of room to hide. Adelaide knew she wouldn't have the upper hand in a fight with whoever could have done this. They clearly had time to plan and were waiting somewhere to attack. Adelaide turned and made the split decision to make a run for it.
