burning pain[[part.four]]
I opened my eyes, feeling like I had been asleep for hours. Again, I had no idea where I was. I knew I wasn’t in the same place I was before; I saw tons and tons of trees around me. The air felt humid and hot, the dirt was moist and the leaves were dripping wet. I looked out into the landscape and all I saw was trees, miles and miles of trees. I was afraid, I didn’t like it, I had no idea where I was. I listened for any sound indicating that I was anywhere near some civilization. I stood still for a couple of minutes, but heard nothing except for the frequent chirping of birds and the other forest animals. I knelt down onto the moist ground, not caring if I got wet or dirty. I reached down to touch the dirt and felt my fingers slowly sink into the damp floor.
-Are you lost? – I heard a smooth soft voice speak up, startled, I turned around. The woman standing in front of me was striking. She had long bleach blonde hair down to her hips. She towered over me even when I stood up. Her face was so perfect, her eyes and nose were flawlessly placed on her smooth clean face. Her eyes were a deep clear blue, they captured you, they lured you in and wouldn’t let you go. I gazed into them, unable to look away and she asked me, - What is your name? – But I couldn’t look away.
She blinked, but I, not even for one second looked away. When she opened her eyes once again, they were a deep purple. I immediately looked away, her eyes were to enticing and powerful, I felt like she would pull me in and never let me go.
-I’m Ivanna, I don’t belong here, I don’t know where I am. Please take me back, I don’t belong here, I just want to go home, please take me back.
- Ivanna? You said your name is Ivanna? – She said.
- Yes, that’s my name, Ivanna Mendoza. – The woman’s face was still for a while; it looked as if she was thinking really hard about something. Suddenly, I heard a branch snap. I looked up to the woman, checking to see if she had heard it also. She had. The expression on her face was almost painful. Her mouth was twisted in a weird smile but you could see the pain in her eyes, which had now turned to a deep, dark, midnight blue, almost black. I looked down and blood was pouring down her leg. The blood ran thick and heavy, but it wasn’t red. The blood was a clear, almost transparent creamy white.
- We have to get out of here, its not safe, especially for you, we have to leave. – She said painfully. She motioned for me to come closer. She threw her arm around my shoulders, allowing me to help her walk. - Find a cave, we’ll be safe in a cave.
