Her eyes slowly opened. Jeez... since when was her bed so... so uncomfortable? It felt like she was lying on a bed of grass or something... As she blinked the sleep from her, eyes, the girl slowly began to realize that was the case. Sitting bolt upright, she swiftly noticed this was not, in fact, her bed. It was a field. Why was she in a field. Why could she [i]possibly[/i] be in a field?! Awareness coming to her more quickly now, she looked around. There was some commotion nearby... was that...? Was she kidnapped?!
