She slightly jolted up, back arching as the sharp intake of air broke the eerie silence of the desolate place the young maiden lay. The first gasp of air spilling into her lungs felt as though it was both a gift and a curse. She greedily took in each new gasp of air but with each breath came a throbbing pain as if she had been slammed in the rib cage more than once and her head felt like it might split in two. She didn't understand why everything was spinning even though she was still unmoving from the dry unforgiving earth below her but eyes looked up above, the same bright blue as the sky she was staring at. The only thing to block that vision was the twisted branches and limbs of dead trees that refused to fall and withstanding the destruction of what was probably once a vibrant beautiful orchard. She waited, the world slowly coming to a halt and no longer a dizzy mess which made her feel steady enough to try to move as well as take a look around. She carefully pushed up into a seated position, her legs curling to the side as if a natural lady like position was something she always did but even she couldn't be sure.

Nothing, that was her memory. The only thing she got was basic knowledge and the reason for the chaos around her but to who she was and how she got here...she just didn't know. A hand reached up for the dirt, brushing brunette locks out of her face as she had a look at what was nearby. A sword lay at her hip but it seemed dull, useless and covered in only knows what as well as rust. It would do her no good and for some reason, though she knew it was hers...she didn't feel to much connection to the object. Her eyes continued to scan, landing on a backpack not to far away but that isn't what made her heart stare to rush. Next to the pack was a simple fruit, one that shouldn't mean anything more than food but she felt like it meant everything. She carefully crawled closer, not caring if she dirtied her pants legs and gently picked up the blood red fruit...no...pomegranate...that is what it was. A soft smile graced her lips but the feeling of happiness was short lived as a voice spoke up in the distant.

"Hey! We got one over here!"

She felt blind panic fill her, weak and with no direction to guide her it didn't seem too bright. She wouldn't just sit and wait for doom though as she heard the hoots and calls as strangers started to rush closer. She quickly shoved the item in her hand the pack, slinging it over her shoulder fast before jetting off in a full sprint.

[i]What have you gotten yourself into Lily?[/i]

Her head shook, pushing the shock of a sudden name popping into her head out of the way for now to focus. The name sounded nice but it wasn't really familiar...something was missing in her memory...a name more important than that of Lily but it was all so blurry.

[i]Focus now. You can't get caught. Keep moving. They are getting closer...No one is here to help you this time...if there ever was anyone...[/i]
