Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

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.
"If you can hear me, this is going to really hurt."
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?"

It happened. I'm sorry for my horrible writing yesterday. I was... Tipsy when I wrote it. I'm very sorry, that won't happen again.

Aruna turned from Ssarak and started walking away. She needed distance, and everything was blurring. She mumbled a goodbye to her murderer and left the dinning hall. She stumbled through the halls until her head was clear again. She had no idea were she was, but her head was more sharp now.
She eyed a window. If anything could calm her nerves right now, it was flying. She walked to the window and opened it, revealing a steep drop. She climbed up the window sill and stood, perched on the edge, then she tilted forward, and slowly leaned. Then she simply fell.
The wind tore at her hair and howled in her ears as she fell. She snapped open her wings as felt the extreme pull in her muscles as they held her aloft and shot her skyward again. She closed her eyes and just began to climb higher and higher.She didn't care how high. She just wanted to be free from the pressure of company for a while. She contemplated if she had made the right decision in coming to the school. If she was really as safe as they had claimed.
Just as she had convinced herself that she was just being to paranoid she felt a red hot pain in her back. Right between her wings. Immediately she stopped climbing and started falling. She had climbed a long way though, and she had a long way to fall. She recognized the extreme pain as an arrow. It was to shallow to be a knife and to small (and to high) to be a spear.
The wind was ripping at her clothes as she fell, telling her she was running out of time to do something, anything. She twisted in the air to see the ground coming at her. She had the overwhelming sensation that she was going to die. So, she closed her eyes and accepted her fate.
No!
Her draconian eyes snapped open. She was not going to die like this. She thought quickly, trying to come up with something... Then a plan dawned on her. She felt like an idiot for not thinking of it before. She grit her teeth and flexed all her muscles in her wings, making them stiff again. Immediately her speed slowed and she shot forward, but the strain on the Muscles in her back where the arrow was almost made her cry out in pain. She relaxed the muscles in her back and started falling again. She let herself fall, until the very last second, she snapped her wings and shot forward. She felt a tearing sensation in her back as her right wing just stopped working. Aruna went into a spinning crash that would certainly kill her. The pain in her back was so great that her vision was fading in and out. But she remembered the last thing she thought, before losing conciousness completely was,
why is the ground Shiny?

Aruna was taking air in at an explosive rate, then just as quickly letting it out. She couldn't think except for one word.
Monster
She shook her head. It was false. It hadn't happened, she hadn't done what she saw... But she had. A voice, a nagging voice in the back of her head kept telling her this. She had murdered her mother and split her open like some Mellon.
Monster
She had deserved to lose those fights. She had deserved to die and have her body brought back to the one who wanted her dead so badly. But she was too selfish to die. To stubborn. So she killed all the ones who were sent.Through it all she had lived.
Monster
She thought that she deserved what she had seen in the end of the memory, the vision. For her to have finally let her guard down enough to meet people, only to be slaughtered and cut to pieces. It would be so very fitting. She heard something, but it sounded muffled. She looked up and everything was fuzzy. And sounds were muted. She saw a surprisingly crisp Ssarak standing next to her with a scowl on his face. She felt some urgency against him being there, but she couldn't remember why.

Then she remembered. He was going to kill her, to cut her up into pieces. She took her hand off the wall and it came away crumbly. Like the wall had aged. She mummbled with as much strength as she could,
"You ... Are not going to kill me."

Hey Toxic, would it interrupt anything you are doing if Ssarak approached Aruna and asked if she was alright?

Nah, go ahead.

Aruna is leaning against a wall near the back looking like she just saw a ghost.

Oh also Toxic did you want to do that interaction between Deven and Aruna before or after the time skip?
