Yes this is a Jori Story.

Chapter One

Another wave washed over the girl. She slowly sat up and her body wanted to scream in agony from the stiffness of her muscles and burnt skin. She opened her eyes only to quickly shut them again when the salt water stung and bright rays of sun hurt her after a few minutes of blinking she finally managed to focus her eyes.

Staring ahead of her all she saw was water,a great big ocean of blue surrounded her vision. Looking around her she was nowhere. It looked like she was on a beach, but not one that she recognized.

'She wondered and asked herself, 'How did she get here? Where was here? Was she alone?'

Then the most important question of all as she stood up slowly and carefully, 'Who was she?'

She couldn't remember her own name. On top of that she felt awful, she guessed she must have been passed out on the beach for a few days because of her red exposed skin. Her lips felt dead, dried out, and her body felt very hungry. Possibly worse her mouth was dried out, thirsty for water. She desperately needed water.

It was definitely a struggle to remain standing, but If she didn't get over her weakness she felt that she would die right here and now and she refused to give up that easily.

At that point she looked behind herself and noticed a land. Jungle if you want to call it that. It felt new, alien, in fact she had no recollection of ever being here. As she kept staring at the green and trees behind her it made her feel even more hot then she already felt. So she decided to turn back to the ocean to cool off for a bit.

As she walked towards it she stopped and turned noticing a figure down the beach, maybe a half a mile down from herself. She moved toward the figure slowly at first, then more quickly as best as she could, after all because of her skin being exposed from the sun it was more of an effort than it should have been. She was a bit excited to know someone else was with her on whatever island or beach this was. She didn't want to be alone and needed answers.

As she got closer she took in what she what a tanned brown haired girl. Glancing at the rest of her, she got a better look at her face, and noticed her lips as well were no where cracked and dried out. She made a quick decision to get the girl to a shaded area so they both can get away from the suns rays and get both their bodies food and water.

She slowly tried to pick up the girl and almost dropped her since she was too weak from her own exposure and dehydrated body. At her second attempt, she finally managed to grab the girl gently from behind and slowly walked backwards toward a shaded area with a palm tree.

'Have to get there, just a few more steps.' She thought to herself. Her throat was too dry to speak out loud to some struggling with her own weak body she finally reached the shaded Coconut Palm tree area and laid the girl under the shaded palm tree.

At this point she had to make a decision of walking around to look for coconuts or water for her and the brown haired girl.

She started walking toward the jungle after finally deciding it, when she heard a moan coming from under the tree.

'The brown haired girl!'

She turned back and looked down toward her but at that moment she felt herself start to get dizzy, and then she heard a ringing in her ears.

'No.' She thought, 'Water.' Was the last thought that went through her mind before everything went black.

A few hours later...

When she opened her eyes again, there was darkness. Maybe she was dead, but she didn't think so. There was still so much cruel heat and she was still very hungry and thirsty.

"Drink this," a tired feminine voice said.

Something rough was placed at her lips and she tilted the it so cold liquid would impact her dry lips. The sensation almost made her cry out, but she greedily grabbed the object and began to slurp very quickly.

"Not so fast," the voice said. "You may get sick."

She didn't care. As far as she was concern that person could kiss her red burnt ass. Just the feeling of the cold liquid was enough for her at the moment. It didn't matter to her if she could stomach it or not.

It felt good against her dried out lips and washing over her parched gums and tongue. All she could think was how she felt like she was in heaven when the liquid went down her throat.

Of course moments later, she was doubling over, spewing up liquid that only a few minutes ago felt great. Her stomach refusing the offering since it was too much too fast. The act of the vomiting was too much for her to handle and it felt like she might faint again, but something wet and cold was placed on her forehead that seemed to bring her back to reality.

After she recovered, the cold liquid was offered once again being careful not to sip it too fast. Her stomach still gurgled unhappily but this time did not reject the liquid being offered.

She sighed in relief and leaned back to relax as she felt the cold cloth pass across her forehead again. "T-thank you," she finally said weakly, her whole body feeling drained just from those two words.

The cloth was removed, but the offered liquid remained.

"You're welcome."

She turned to see the face of the speaker and discovered the young brown tanned girl that she found on the beach sitting behind her, supporting her. She was wiping her neck with the cloth she had torn from her own shirt. She noticed that her face was just as tired as she herself felt.

"Drink more if you think your body can hold it." She offered.

For a moment glared as she wanted to snap at the girl, thinking who does she think she is telling her body what it can do. But that would be absurd. She doesn't even know her. So she decided to just nod and take what was being offered.

It looked like a dried out gourd maybe, possibly a shell or coconut. It was filled with cold, clear, sweet, refreshing water. Not pausing again, she drank the rest of it down, spilling some out of the sides of her mouth. Once it was drained, she lowered the vessel and wiped her mouth on the back of her hand.

"Where did you find this water?" She asked her.

"A river, not very far away. It empties into the ocean." Her answer simple and concise.

She was about to wonder aloud why she didn't think to look for anything, but then she herself hadn't been totally conscious.

"I'm so hungry," she said instead. If she found water, maybe she found food as well.

"Well now that you are awake, I'll go ahead and look for something."

She draped the cloth over her shoulder and started to stand, slowly like an old woman, pulling away from the girl.

She tried to stand as well, she wasn't about to let the tanned girl do all the work. She didn't want to feel useless. Of course as she attempted to stand her legs gave out immediately making her collapse beneath her.

The tanned girl worried but just gave a small smile.

"Don't try to stand. Just wait here. You are not in shape to be wandering around like that. Just rest and drink more water if you need it." The other girl sounded so sincere, but it still bothered her that the tanned girl did all the work.

'This tanned girl sounds like she is my protector or bossy. I don't need protection either. ' She said thought to herself. But the way she felt she just decided to nod once again.

"I'll wait here." She was actually surprised she could speak at all, but the water had done all the wonder for her. Even if her throat still hurt, at least she could manage words without sounding like a frog.

"I think I saw some sort of fruit by the river. I'll see what I can find."

She watched the tanned girl move off into the darkness and wondered absently who she was. Maybe she'd find that out once she could remember who she was.

This is my first attempt at a story. So I accept your criticism, but be nice. I am tired so this is where I leave off chapter one!
