The Trail

Chapter 4

Recap

"Marle, who is that? And where did you find her?"

"I don't know who she is lord Van but she needs help. I saw her fall off the waterfall just outside the city gates."

...

Marlene just so happened to be visiting with Allen and Dryden. So she insisted on helping with taking care of the girl. They cleaned her body of the blood, then found where she badly cut on the back; they cleaned it and began to stitch it back together. After they looked at the piece of wood in her leg; she was lucky it didn't go through the artier. They removed that, cleaned the wound than stitched it up.

The girl lost a lot of blood and they were unsure whether or not she would make it. It had been a week since that day and she still didn't move.

~Hitmoi POV~

It was dark and cold. I was in so much pain but the pain started to go away. I fell deeper into the cold pit, but then something warm began to pull at me, bring me out of the cold dark place I was in. Unfortunately that meant the pain came back.

I woke up almost gasping for air and wanting to run, wanting to move and move fast before I was found. But there were hands pushing me back down, saying I need to stay still or my wounds would open up again.

"I don't care, I have to keep moving." Then someone pushed against my right shoulder and I let out a shriek of pain.

"What was that, and why is there so much noise in here." The doors opened and a woman I recognized but couldn't place at the moment walked through. She followed in by three men and a cat girl. Now I remember. I'm on Gaia. The memories flowed back to me, and I actually looked around this time, it was hard because of my shoulder but I was use to that. I was in a room with stone walls, and a large window on the far side, I didn't recognize the city below but I know I was in a castle. "Where on Gaia am I?" Baka, why would you say that? You should have just confirmed if they were who you think they are. There was pressure on my right shoulder, and I groaned in pain. I was starting to numb it. I looked to who was applying the pressure. It was the woman who walked in earlier.

"Does that hurt?" I didn't answer. I was too use to the doctors that experimented on me. I stopped after a while answering anything they asked. She seemed to pick up on this.

"It's okay you can trust us. My name is Marlene." I felt my eyes widened with shock even though I guessed it was her. Confusion was written on her face. I tried to calm myself down.

"What have I done." Was all I could say, I brought the very men who, in my opinion, were insane war crazed people.

"What did you do wrong? Oh my bad I forgot to ask your name. What is it?" I wanted to answer but how do I explain everything to them. Well there's no harm in trying.

"Marlene, I brought some people here by mistake. People who I think are insane." psychotic really "and who still haven't answered my first question." I gave her the cold look I started to wear more often. I didn't want to its just, when I'm being questioned now that's what I do.

"Oh, right you're in Fanelia dear. Would you please tell me your name?" I groaned I really didn't want them to see me like this. I was a mess and everything they know about me was gone, well mostly due to the experiments to make me the best solider possibly. I cringed thinking about what they did. Marlene pressed against my shoulder, but I had numbed it out already and didn't react. I just looked away.

"Odd, you were in so much pain earlier. I wonder what happened."

"I numbed my shoulder; it's something I have to do know." Merle chose that moment to speak up.

"Lord Van is she okay?" I looked over to Merle and was a baka and answered her question.

"I'm fine Merle. I have been through worse. This is nothing compared to the past two years and six months." Everyone froze for a minute, I then faced palm my head. Baka, Baka, Baka why did I do that now I'm going to have to tell them my name.I groaned internally when I heard.

"Lord Van we found some men wondering around in the woods. They need medical attention!"

Marlene spoke up. "I go and attend to them. Make sure she doesn't try anything." I was frozen, only not with shock, with fear. They're here, no no no no no they can't be her, noooooo. If they see me I won't be able to get very far. I need to move and I need to move now.

I started to get up and move towards the window only to remember my ankle was broke too. I started the numbing process but this was going to take a few and I was already being pushed back on to the.

Merle was the first to speak. "Who are you and how do you know my name?"

I sighed guess it was time to let them know "I know your name because we meet before. As to my name you all know it well its" Van cut me off right when I was going to say it, but I should have guessed he would have gotten it.

"Hitmoi...What happened to you?" I just smiled, when Allen, Dryden and Merle froze. But my smile vanished when that man barged into the room.

"Mira! There you are why don't you come home with us now."

I felt my back press against the wall, I numbed out all the pain, and I began to almost hiss my response. "My name is Hitmoi not Mira, and I'm not going anyway with you."

He started to move towards me and I began to move towards the window. I felt trapped, than some people came in and dragged him out, Marlene came into the room. "I'm so sorry about that, he got away when we weren't looking." Marlene paused when she saw me getting closer to the window. "What did I say about not letting her do anything, she's most likely more hurt than we realized!"

Merle seemed to be the first at recovering quicker than the rest. "Hitmoi you should be resting."

I gave a very weak laugh to her "I just wanted to see Fanelia." And get as far away from that man as possible.

"Hitmoi? Wow you've changed. How have you been?" Marlene seemed to react differently from the others.

"I've been better. Thank you for asking." I noticed Merle holding a concerned look "I'm fine, but I think the boys need a little help." All three men were standing there at the ready in shock, pure shock that they didn't even seem to understand what we girls were going on about. Merle and Marlene let out little squeaks and tried to shake the boys out of it. I made my way towards the window, before I felt two strong arms grab a hold of me around my waist. I tensed and froze, as a reaction I formed since my mother got remarried, I than start squirming to try and get away from whoever was holding me. Though I knew I wouldn't have be violent, like in the past when I was caught and forced into that blasted chair.

"Hitmoi where are you going?" Van was whispering in my ear. It sent shivers down my spine. I stopped trying to get out of his hold, and relaxed trying to get a hold of myself.

I sighed again. "Nowhere Van."
