-gets shot multiple times in the back- -falls down dead-


And then, Kailee awoke again.

Instantly, she closed her eyes again. She thought she was dead. She had good reason to, though, but she was wrong.

After a while, she opened her eyes, and realized she was in a cave-like sort of environment. After further study, she realized that it was a cave.

The shining sun leaked in through the gaping opening infront of her, allowing a warm, fresh breeze inside.

But then, Kailee peered down at her belly. To her surprise, the holes in her shirt were there, but not the wounds. She then realized that she had not crawled into this cave; someone, or something must've brought her there.

It was strange; her head, legs or arms felt no pain, and her abdomen felt better than it usually did.

She was quite puzzled.

She gained the courage to take a peek outside, and to her surprise, she was nowhere near Chicoga, at least, not visibly.

She was in an open prairie now, covered here and there with jagged, rocky hills. She went out a few meters, and realized that the cave she awoke in was carved in one such hill.

She looked around; no cities, forests, mountains, bodies of water, or even animals were near. She saw nothing but an eyesight full of grassy fields and rocky hills.

"Where the hell..." she mummbled to herself.

She turned; she decided to go around the hill for any sort of landform that would catch her eye. When she did so, there was nothing more than what she had already seen.

She dug in her pockets; nothing.

She put her hands on her head and paced. There was nothing for her to do.

She went back to the entrance to the cave, but found no type of blood trail, or drag marks.

She was lost.

She then decided that she should head in a random direction, and look for some kind of life. A river would be nice, too. They always lead somewhere important.

She closed her eyes, and pointed forwards. While her eyes were shut, and her arm outstretched, she spun in circles, and then stopped.

She opened her eyes, and saw where she was pointing. Then, she made a deep breath and headed in the direction she pointed. Ironically, it was pointing directly through the hills, and to the horizon.

The sun was only just starting to dip down to the west now.
