When Aria awoke, she was stiff and her feet were sore from last night. As she stood up, her bones creaked into action and she looked around. The sun was shinning brightly and the forest looked a lot more welcoming then it had the night before.
Well there's no point in staying here any longer she thought to herself. Aria did not want to hang around here, it brought back to many memory's of her parents and last night.
So she set off at a fairly quick pace, and walked off, leaving all she had ever known behind her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A dark figure limped through the forest at a slow pace. It was badly injured and hungry. It collapsed with all its energy gone .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aria quickened her pace. She wanted to get out of the forest and find food and people.
She could not shift the feeling of gnawing hunger and loneliness from her body. She always enjoyed people company and she missed her mother terribly.
Flashback
A mother and daughter walked quickly through the cold empty street. The girl hung desperately to the woman's hand.
'Please don't leave me!', she begged.
'Aria! Please, keep your voice down. Come on I will just be 10 minutes.' They arrived at a small house on the edge of the town and as Aria went through the door, her mother said 'You go to bed and ill see you in the morning.'
'Where's Papa?'
'He's just at the gates with the other men, he'll be home in the morning as well. Now off you go to bed.'
Her Mother kissed her cheek and walked out the door and down the street. Little did Aria know that this would be the last time she would ever see her mother or father again.
