Chapter 3

August 1920

Where could I find something out? Maybe I should go back to the warehouse. Yes that sounds like a great plan, but not now, right now I need to sort some clothes out.

I got up, I tried to do it slowly but ended up almost jumping up (this was going to be hard to get use to) and peaked through the hedge even thou there was no need as I could hear the two women around the front discussing flowers for the spring.

I tipped toed out of the hedge and snatched one of the ladies blouses, skirts, corset and stockings and with one last longing look at the house I turned quick on my heels and headed back into the forest.

Once I got a safe distance from people I crouched on the ground and dressed myself swiftly. I made a few slips which caused a few little rips in my under garments but not enough to ruin them. After I finished dressing I gave myself a little twirl, they looked ok but not great, I wasn't happy with them but I guess they would have to do as I didn't have many other choices.

I gave myself an unsatisfying huff which turned out to be a big mistake as it caused me to inhale a large breathe and the scent of the women was back on my tongue all I wanted to do is turn around and rip them apart but I couldn't that wasn't me, that wasn't what I wanted just my body I just had to control it.

.o0o

After standing still for 10 minutes I realised I wasn't tired not even a little. My legs didn't even ache from standing so still. It's been a whole day since I woke I must start to get tired soon. As it was going to start getting dark soon I thought maybe I should head back towards the warehouse surely I would get tired soon and if not I could get a good look around see if anyone has come back or if there is any clues o where I come from or who my parents are.

It was easy to find my way back to the warehouse as I seemed to have a floral/rose scent that followed me around like a trail so I was able to follow my trail back the way I came to find it.

I approached the warehouse very carefully taking little breathes to test the air around me but I couldn't smell or sense anyone around. What did that mean? Whoever brought me here just abandoned me? What would be the point of that?

I wasn't sure what to do now I didn't just want to wade in just in case I was wrong but I had to do something so I pulled up my dress to be able to climb a tree so I could peer into one of the high windows. It all looked exactly as it did the last time I was here (and I could remember it perfectly.) I leaped effortlessly from one tree to the top of another, almost shocking myself but even from the different angle I could see any change.

As the sun was starting to slowly set I thought I better start looking inside so I leaped out of the tree and found the door laying on the ground 3ft from where the frame is,

'Woops' I giggled

That felt good I liked to laugh. It made my whole body feel light like I was almost flying.

I stepped through the door carefully. It smelt musky, I could only smell my scent clearly, I think, I'm the only one who's been here in the last couple of days at least. I slowly walked around the edge of the large building kicking debris around when a horrible sickly sweet burnt smell hovering in the air. It wasn't too strong maybe 3 or 4 days old but something was definitely here. There was a large black mark on the ground it looks like something was burnt on the ground, weird. Was that burning while I was asleep here? No this was a couple of days ago I wouldn't of been asleep there for that long.

I continued to walk around the ware house examining every crack and dent in the wall, floor and ceiling trying to find something I could identify myself with. I ended up walking around 9times trying to wear myself out until the sun slowly peaked through the tops of the trees.

How could I go all night without sleeping and still feeling great? Well except this burning in my throat, I really wish this would go away maybe it will soon.

I strode round a couple more times trying to wear myself out, unsuccessfully I might add! But it got me thinking, where am I? I know I'm in a ware house in the middle of the wood where I woke up but which town? Which state? Am I still in America? Or have I been taken some where completely different, but wouldn't I remember if I was transported a long distance. Maybe, Maybe not. I was sure on anything other than the fact finding any of this out was going to be hard because it meant going near people and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. Maybe I should find another bear first. No I could do this I had to place where I was even if I couldn't place who I was.

'Red Ford pickup parked at the end of a dirt track with a man sat in the cab reached over and place something in his glove box, it look like something paper maybe a map. Then the man got out walk around the truck and picked an axe out of the back and walked into the forest.'

That's where I had to go, to that car. It's my only chance to find what I need.

I set off almost immediately running towards the east as I could see the sun rising behind the truck. I ran steadily as I didn't want to cross the axmen path, and it might not be my favourite outfit but it was my only outfit so I didn't want to ruin it!

As I approached the vehicle I froze. I made myself take small even breaths trying to steady myself I could hear no one was close to me but I could still smell the works men scent and it was getting stronger. I took a few more steps forward through the last hedge row so I could see the pickup and my hands started shaking, I had to try and remember who I was. I really didn't want to do anything silly; when I finally stopped myself shaking I took the remaining steps to the truck. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. As my hand reached for the door handle it began to shake again. I tried to open the door gentle but my extra strength took over and the whole door came off in my hand and the over whelming wall of scent almost knocked me over.

I held my breath (which made things slightly easier) and reached over and pulled open the glove box and there (just like in my vision) was a map I reached and grabbed it just as I was about to turn around and run I spotted a coat shoved on the floor. A little voce inside me told me to take it so I listened. I grabbed it and ran as quickly as I could back the way I came.

It wasn't until I was far enough away that I took my first breath. I was shocked at the rage I still felt when I had moved so far away for the man's scent, oh the thought of ripping his door off what was he going to think when he gets back there and see that. I couldn't help but giggle but once I started I couldn't stop I was in hysterics. I swiped my face to remove the tears which should be falling down my face only to find them not there; I shrugged it off while trying to compose myself. It was hard to do because more I laughed and smiled the better I felt, it was like all the rage drain out of me it was a very, very good feeling.

I took a deep breath and tried not to laugh again as I sat on a nearby fallen tree placing the jacket next to me so I could concentrate on the map in front of me. It was quite battered, but I could clearly make out it was the map of Mississippi. I really hope this was going to help me. The map was folded incorrectly so it fell open on one town it was by the sea with a large forest on the other side. This must be where I was. The town is called Biloxi.

A/N thank you all for reading please review so I know where I'm going right AND wrong. As this is my first ff I would like to know how I'm doing thank you Leah x
