The Girl From the Well

I'm trapped in a dark room and pinned to the wall by someone I cannot see in front of me.

Their breath smells like beer and their touch is rough. This must be Corbin... How did he find me? I thought I escaped!

"Just one kiss sweetheart, come on..." he whispered in my ear.

My whole body was raised in goosebumps.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

I quickly opened my eyes and noticed I was sitting up waving my arms around.

"It was just a dream. Thank god it was just-" I stopped what I was saying to take in my surroundings. I'm not home and i'm not in my room... The nightmare that I thought I had about being lost... It was real.

Suddenly all the memories of last night came flooding back to me and I remembered what happened and how I got here. I fell into the well and woke up in this strange place... How do I get back?

I jump out of bed when I hear the door being opened.

"Good morning child" says a woman I've never seen before "I hope you slept alright. I know the floor isn't the comfiest place to rest." She smiled apologetically and stuck out a hand at me. I took her hand in mine and gave it a firm shake.

"No worries." I replied. It was the only thing I could make out considering I was still in shock of where I was.

"Toru came to me and my husband this morning and told us he found you wandering the forest all on your own last night." I nodded. "He also mentioned you may have bumped your head. Are you alright? Do you have any cuts?"

I quickly looked over my body and noticed some cuts on my hands and knees. The lady came over and motioned for me to sit. I sat back on my make shift bed and she sat next to me. She took a cloth, dipped it in a pale of water and gently started to clean my wounds.

"Thank you ma'am" I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"You can call me Kagome. I'm the priestess that watches over this village." I nodded. "My husband and I are going to help you get home. But I need you to help us help you so please tell us everything you remember." I hung my head down in embarassment.

"You're going to think I'm crazy..." There's no way they'll believe me if I tell them the truth.

I heard the door move and looked up to see a man with silver hair enter the room.

"Heh, that's what you think. There's no such thing as crazy around here. Isn't that right Kagome?" He says as he sat in front of us giving Kagome a wink.

"This is true Inuyasha." she replies. "This is my husband by the way." She says to me while pointing at Inuyasha. She then focused her attention back to my wounds. "Many years ago I was found in the same forest as you were and let me tell you I was a long way from home as well. I fell through a well and found myself in Inuyasha's forest completely confused. So I'm sure your story can't be more crazier than mine!" She laughed. I grabbed her hand and her attention was focused on me now. She stopped laughing instantly.

"Did you just say you fell through a well too?" I can't believe this. They might actually be able to help me get home! Kagome just stared at me blank faced. I looked at Inuyasha.

"Too?" he questioned.

"Yes yes!" I started to tear up because I was so happy. I quickly told them everything that happened last night. From the party to following the light and being pushed into the well. To waking up here and seeing Kane and being found by Toru. "That is why I didn't think you would believe me but if Kagome-" I looked at her but she was just staring at Inuyasha and he was staring at her too.

"What's your name child?" Kagome finally speaks.

"Amaya." I reply.

"How old are you?" she looks like she's about to cry as she says this.

"I'm sixteen." She looks at Inuyasha.

"Please excuse us for a moment." She says as she gets up and walks outside with Inuyasha following right behind her.

Maybe she was joking...

Oh great! They're definietly going to think I'm a lunatic now!

I lay down and wait for the couple to come back inside. I pull out my phone and open my text messages from last night rereading what I said to my friends and family. My parents are definietly going to find out I was at a party and they're going to kill me...

I just hope they're not too worried about me.

I'll be home soon mom and dad, I promise.
