Chapter 2: Disoriented.
Cleopatra felt raindrops on her forehead. She began to open her eyes but her vision was blurry. It took a minute for her to get to consciousness. She felt the brisk air on her nose. Once her vision started to come back it got blurred back by the pouring rain. She saw the outlines of trees in the darkness. She heard a couple of strikes of thunder as well which flashed and made the trees appear in light for a second. Cleopatra wondered where she was. She then sat up with a grunt with the pain from her head. Rubbing the spot where the spoon hit her head, she looked around frantically and she seemed to be in woods. "Where the hell am I?" Cleopatra asked herself. She was cold and scared now. Could she get back home? Was there anyone around? She had to look for people. She had to figure out if there was a chance to get back home. Maybe they could get her home. Cleopatra stood up and saw that she was covered in mud since the ground had been soaked with water. She started to walk around calling out for help. "Help! Help! Can anyone hear me?" Cleopatra screamed. It was no use. It seemed like civilization was further away than where she was.
Cleopatra then thought to herself to go in one direction. She had to get out of the woods at some point. Although it could take days, she thought it was worth a shot. She picked one way, not knowing what direction it was, and started to walk. "Ow." Cleopatra said as she fell, tripping over a root. Since, it was dark in the woods she was tripping over a lot of vines and roots. Cleopatra was getting frustrated because she was getting cuts and bruises along the way as well as that it was going to take her a while to get to where she needed to go if there was one.
There were a bunch of noises along the way as well. Noises she was not used to. She didn't get to go out too often during the summer and never did any camping so this was all very new to her. She heard Owls and small birds but she also heard other noises as well. She didn't really think anything of it until, she heard something rustle in the leaves. She jumped a little bit. She then heard a second rustle. She was getting ready to bolt in the other direction until she heard murmuring of what sounded like human voices. She got really excited. "Hello!" She called out. "Look, I am really scared and I have no idea where I am. I am trying to find my way back to my city, Atlas City. Can you help me?." The voices stopped. "Hello?" She looked around and saw no one around. She was very confused about these voices until something startled her. There was something that sped past her. Cleopatra gasped and jumped back. She saw something that looked like a horse. It almost looked like it had a human face and human features on its neck but it was moving too fast to be sure. Cleopatra thought she was just seeing things. She went to move on to find some people but as soon as she turned around and screamed. Right in front of her eyes was a creature she has never seen before. It had four hooves, brown fur on its horse like body. On its front legs it had a human torso as a body and a mouth. It's body was sort of grayish and looked rather dirty. It's ears were pointed as well as had a bow and arrow. This creature had drawn an arrow.
Cleopatra processed this creature for a second and then bolted the other way. She tried to jump over as many roots as she can. She looked behind her and the creature was gaining on her. The creature was shooting arrows at her but kept on missing. Cleopatra kept looking back but it was very hard to see. All of a sudden, she saw a light in the distance. She got excited that it was a person. Cleopatra screamed, "Help! Help! I am being chased by this thing!". The light seemed to move closer to her. She looked back again to see where the creature was. She turned to look forward and she ran straight into a tree. She fell down from the blow to her head. All she could see was a little blur of light and an outline of a giant man. Then, she closed her eyes and passed out from the pain.
