Snippet #2443911

The ground was cold and damp as Aria slowly came to her senses. She tried opening her eyes, but as she did, the sun shined right in them and she quickly closes them. She didn't particularly remember her chamber being this bright in the morning. And what was her bed wet? It even smelled funny. Something wasn't right here. Opening her eyes more slowly, the silver hair young woman saw that she wasn't on her bed, but on the ground. Feeling dread creeping up her spine, Aria suddenly sat up and looked around her. She definitely wasn't in her chamber. In fact, she didn't recognize her surroundings at all. What happened? It was then she caught the distinct smell of blood and saw she had blood stains on her hands and chest. Examining herself, she discovered that she was fine physically. It must have come from someone else than. Looking about, she saw her daggers inches from her and they had blood on them too. What had she done this time? Horrified, Aria began to search her memory that led to this predicament.

She remembered eating dinner with others who were like her, even though they had different abilities. They weren't like any other humans. Aria wondered if they were humans still. The young woman had just recovered physically from something she would never forget. She killed someone with her mind. She remembered being shocked and cried on the inside. Feeling sick to her stomach, Aria forced these thoughts away and continued to search her memory. After dinner, she remembered going to her room before . . . . . oh . . . .

"What was it?" she asked out loud.

Suddenly it came to her. She remembered an explosion and after that . . . chaos. But then everything went blank.

"My dark side must have taken over. But . . that still doesn't explain the blood or how I got here? Did . . . did I escape?" she asked herself.

She must have. Remembering the blood on her and her daggers, she realized she must have fought someone while fleeing. Feeling sick, Aria ended up vomiting, luckily not getting anything on her. Where was she now? Her stomach growled too and Aria figured she better find some food. But where? She didn't even know where she was? Carefully standing up, Aria grabbed her daggers and placed them in their sheaths on her hip that she was wearing.

"I wonder if I was the only one to escape. Where are the others?" Aria asked herself again as she began to wander.
