Darkness enveloped her. Aruna could feel nothing but a heavy darkness. She liked it. It was peaceful, this darkness. She could get used to this. But she began to feel herself rise out of the darkness. She tried to stay, she didn't want to leave. But no matter how she tried, she rose. The first thing she registered was pain. A horrible pain in her back, and a lesser, but still noteworthy pain in her chest. Then she heard a voice drift over her. [i]"If you can hear me, this is going to really hurt."[/i] Aruna's sluggish mind tried to figure out what he was talking about. She was already hurting. Then her pain seemed to increase tenfold. She let out an unintentional scream. Then the pain became so great that she once again felt darkness take her. The second time she emerged from the embrace of the darkness she felt the pain again, but it was much more subdued now. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a boy. He had Brown hair and fair skin. She wondered why this boy was carrying her. She. Tried to move, but doing so shot pain through her body and she gasped. "Wh-what are you doing? Who are you?"
