I woke up in a jungle. The smell of the forest was overwhelming. As I took in my surroundings all I could see was green. Green leaves, green vines, green grass, everything was so alive. Birds chimed above me and insects sang all around me. Even the air had something to say as it blew through the trees rattling branches and stirring up leaves.
I brushed back a lock of red hair from my eyes and drank in the beauty of the place. It was only then I realized that I had no idea how I got there, why I was there, or even where I was before.
Not knowing what else to do, I started walking. It was slow going due to the thick underbrush. Thorns were pricking my arms and legs, which turned into red dots that itched later. I was wearing leather shorts with a cotton vest that left my toned stomach bare. I had blue tattoos spiraling all over my body.
Who was I? Who am I now? Where am I? What do I do? My thoughts swam and I leaned back on a tree and slid into a sitting position. I ran my fingers through my hair trying to remember something about my life.
I heard a soft scuffling off to my right. I quickly rose to a crouch and saw something yellow dart through the undergrowth.I followed in the general direction it went, barely making a sound. I pushed some shrubs aside to see and ocelot drinking from a pool of water.
I smiled and sat back in the dirt to watch. When the cat had drunk its fill, it sat and licked it's paws running them across it's face. Once finished, the cat stretched with a yawn before climbing into a nearby tree to lounge on one of the branches.
Careful not to make any noise, I crawled over to the water's edge and drank. The sunlight was dancing across the water and things were very peaceful.
I continued on, to where, I wasn't sure, but I had to go somewhere. By then my stomach was reminding me that I needed to eat. The sun was well into it's decent when I could stand the hunger no longer. Firmly gripping some vines, I used them to climb on top of a tree to gain a better view of the area.
A cow was drinking from a puddle not far away. Food was not far away. Mouth watering, I jumped from the tree and swung to the ground using the vines. Holding a decent sized rock, I snuck up to the cow.
