Not Exactly Rapunzle

Hiyas! Another short chapter, though not as pointless... *sniffle* Poor Gourry... *tear* *sniffle*^_^

Slowly, Gourry drifted back into consciousness. His head swam and pounded like sledge hammers.
Groaning, Gourry opened his eyes. He started, and blinked a few times to make sure his eyes were open. He lifted a hand, and waved it in front of his face.
Not wanting to believe it, Gourry sat up, and closed his eyes. He counted to three, and opened his eyes again. His hopes fell into the ground.
The thing was, it didn't make any difference whether his eyes were open or closed. Everything was pitch black, except for little white stars that flashed inside his eyes. He felt his sightless eyes fill up with tears.
Then he remembered Lina. He stood up, and promtly fell over. His head made him feel incredibly dizzy, and he couldn't et his balance. He finally was able to stand up, and he called out, "Lina! Lina, where are you?"
There was no answer.
Gourry sadly started walking. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't care. He had to find Lina, and he couldn't do that just sitting there. When he ran painfully into a tree, he knew he had reached the woods. He groped alond the ground, and found a stick to use to help him walk without bumping into trees.
Using the stick to feel around, he slowly made his way through the trees, hoping, praying, he was going in the right direction.
