Orange Team

It started off as a soft rumble that gently shook the carriage, but that didn't last for long and the noise grew louder and sounder, echoing in her ears like the roars of a thousand wild beasts. She clasped her hands tightly over her ears, small tears trickling down her cheeks. She felt a hand grip her arm and looked up to see the warm eyes of her brother staring down at her. His usually happy green orbs were laced with worry and it was only then that she looked outside, watching as the snow tumbled down the mountain, looking, from their distance, like a ton of flour that had all puffed into the air in that annoying white mist.

She looked back to her brother but he was hurriedly trying to undo his seatbelt. That's when she heard the screams from her parents, ordering them to get out quick. She done as she was told and quickly undid her seatbelt. When she was free, she looked back to her twin, but his belt was stuck and he was trapped. She reached for him, trying to help him free, but a huge tremble of the carriage knocked her backwards and sent her rolling down the hill, farther and farther from the avalanche and her family.

She heard them scream for her and then their cries turned to that of horror and pain.

"Mama! Dad!" She called over the thundering crashing of the falling snow. "FUBUKI!"

Then, everything went black.

Fuyuka woke up screaming, her mind still reeling with the vivid memories of that day. She gasped in a lungful of air and relished in the cool, fresh taste it held as she inhaled and exhaled. She could feel the wet streaks of tears on her face, but ignored it. In the silence of the room, she could easily hear the pounding of her heart in her chest.

Then, she was distracted by the soft rustling of sheets and a soft moan.

"Fuyuka? What's wrong?" Artemis, her cellmate asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

Fuyuka tucked her legs up into her chest and rested her chin on her knees, staring off at the wall, her mind not particularly focusing on anything. Her shoulder length dark blonde hair gently tickled the tips of her shins and her fringe fell languidly in her face.

"Nothing's wrong, Artemis. Just a bad dream."

There was small yawn from Artemis and then more rustling of sheets. Then there was footsteps and suddenly Fuyuka found herself in the warm embrace of her roommate. She looked up into the tired green eyes of the girl and found flecks of concern dancing in the leafy orbs. She felt her own hazel eyes tearing up again and buried her head in her friends shoulder.

"Ne, Fuyuka, you know, I don't want to push you, but this has been happening since you first got here, maybe you should talk about it…"

Fuyuka shook her head defiantly and raised her tearstained face to look at Artemis. She sniffled and hiccupped and wiped some snot onto the back of her sleeve.

"Gross" Artemis cringed and Fuyuka giggled.

Fuyuka buried her face back into her new friends shoulder and sighed, fiddling with and few strands of her mustard hair.

"I'll tell you soon, Artemis. About me. About my dreams." She paused. "Just not yet. Let's get through this tournament first."

Artemis blew a strand of her own navy blue hair from her face.

"I guess so. After all, everyone had a past they don't want to confront. It's natural."

"I wish we had some books or something, you know?" Artemis said, blowing a ball of dust across the stone floor. "It's so boring here."

Fuyuka giggled softly at Artemis.

"I don't think we're here to have fun, Art. This isn't camp you know."

"Of course I know that!" The green eyed girl huffed. "I just, you know, thought that the least they could do was to provide some entertainment, considering they kidnapped us and all."

Fuyuka giggled and crawled over to her partner, copying Artemis and laying belly down on the floor, watching the ball of dust gently float away.

"They key word there being 'kidnapped' not 'invited us for a spot of tea'" She chided, smiling at the sight of Artemis's childish pout.

"Still" She whined, flipping over to her back and staring at the cracked ceiling. "They could've been just a teeny bit nice, couldn't they?"

Fuyuka huffed.

"Artemis, I don't think Dark guild members have a speck of nice in them."

"Suppose you're right."

Fuyuka's hair was no longer shoulder length, but had grown to just above her waist. Likewise, Artemis's was midway down her thigh. Let's just say she was not too pleased with the length. Just how long had they been there? Exactly where was 'there'? Time blended and blurred and weeks could've turned to months and they wouldn't have known. Food was little and both girls were skinnier that stick men. Water came once a day, but there was a bottle of it, not just a glass.

"I feel like I'll break…" Fuyuka whispered, poking her ribs.

Artemis grunted in response and walked over to the water bottle, taking a swig and sloshing it around her mouth. She gulped down the luke warm liquid and a sighed.

"I never thought I would say this, but I might actually want this competition to start already…"

Fuyuka snapped her head up to look at her partner.

"Don't say that!" She gasped, clambering to her feet. "It might actually happen!"

Artemis sunk to her knees.

"Well it's going to happen sooner or later…" She admitted, spitting the truth out into the open. "But, I don't really want it to start. I'm scared."

Fuyuka flopped back down onto the floor and ran a slightly bony hand through her hair.

"I'm scared too…"

Ok, so I had a bit of writers block for these two, hence, this drabble hehe...
