AN: Sorry for the first chapter being so short, I didn't realize it was
that short.
As for a disclaimer, I don't own Escaflowne (even if I wish I did) or any of its characters
So don't sue me. The only character that belongs to me is Megami.

They didn't seem angry until they actually had a good look at her.
~~~~Present Time~~~~
Megami could still hear the snapping of twigs and the smashing of leaves behind her as she ran, but it slowly became quieter and quieter. Megami suddenly came bursting out of the brush and into a larger clearing than what she had been in before.
There was a strange looking woman standing near the opposite side of the clearing. She wore a strange green dress and a white veil over her face. Her hair was almost grey with a little light purple mixed in with it. The woman looked only about 21 or 22 to Megami.
The woman looked over to Megami in alarm. Out of the corner of her eye Megami saw one of the creatures that had been chasing her.
'Who are you?!' The woman asked her angrily.
One of the creatures jumped out at the woman, when the woman saw it she screamed in panic.
Megami dashed and knocked the woman out of the way before the creature could tackle her and get her on the ground. The woman screamed again.
'Run!' Megami cried out to the woman that she was practically dragging along with her as she ran.
Megami looked back to see if the creatures were still chasing after them when out of the blue she heard the sound of rushing water below.
She had just run onto a cliff over hanging a high and fast running river. Megami stopped at the very edge, watching some rocks slide off and fall what Megami calculated to be about a twenty meter drop.
She noticed a tree that looked like it had fallen over. It was covered with vines and was hanging about a foot and a half above the rushing water of the river. If I could just catch onto that log then I could climb out of the river and keep running! Megami thought as she examined the log further. It looked sturdy enough.
Megami looked at the woman that she was holding tightly around the waist with her left arm, the other arm holding the woman's shoulder. Megami knew that they didn't have much time before the creatures would be there.
She didn't know if the woman could jump off. The woman looked very prissy and stuck up to her.
'What do you value more, your life or being lady-like?' Megami asked her, whatever the woman said, Megami would go through with her plan, and she would either leave the woman there or jump with her.
The woman looked at her, she was shocked. As if she had never thought Megami would ask such a question.
'I-' Megami cut the woman off, the creatures were coming closer.
Megami couldn't wait for the woman to answer her question.
She gripped the woman around the waist tightly and jumped. The woman screamed as they fell and hit the water.
The water was swifter than Megami had thought. Megami pulled her head and the woman's head above the water for a quick breath of air before they ducked back under.
They were swept quickly towards the log. Megami was afraid she had missed the log, so she reached her hand up, trying to grab onto something, anything.
Her hand suddenly hit something that felt like tree bark. She was almost swept under the log with the other woman, but was able to wrap her arm around it and pull herself against the force of the rushing water.
Megami pulled herself up, as she held the woman. The woman grabbed onto the log as Megami sat sideways on the log. Megami helped pull the woman up onto the log.
Megami noticed that the woman's veil had been pulled off by the rushing of the water. She also noticed that the woman would probably have trouble running wearing the dress so tightly around her ankles.
Megami stood up on the log, helping the woman up. The woman was panting and trying to catch her breath. Megami kneeled down and ripped the woman's dress so she would be able to run better and faster.
The woman screamed and tried to hold her dress. A sudden growling sound came from above them. They both looked up and saw the creatures that had been chasing them. Megami grabbed the woman's arm and they jumped over a log at the base of the one that they were on and ran through the forest as fast as they could.
