"I…I…I don't understand…" I stammer to no one, stumbling past a tree. Rain that had long since drenched me to the bone now made the ground slippery. Every step caused my body to sink into the earth. Tripping over a hidden root, I fell forwards, splattering my clothes with mud and scratching my arms. My breath came out in short gasps as I pulled myself from the strong grip of the swamp like surroundings. Lightning lit up the sky and thunder boomed. I heard myself sob as my body began to shake. Opening my mouth, I screamed, "TAMAKI!"
