PART 1

Loud hard breaths, the white fog in front, unable to see what's on the ground, but feeling the soft grass under my feet.
Running without purpose for I can't remember why I'm on the run, swinging my arms with precision for I know I needed to get far enough, hot warm liquid trickle down my face as I run.
The white shirt on me covered in dirt and grime and a huge stain of red on it. I wasted no time to try and ponder what was happening, for I know deep down that I needed to get far.

My lungs burned, my arms ached, my legs rapidly losing strength because I have been running for so long. I can't remember how long I have been running, but my perched throat and aching body gave me an idea of how long it's been.

Loud breaths, bruised feets and a heavy body. The run reduced to a jog and then to dragging my body along, the strength has left me, but I kept on looking back in fear. I knew I had to get far away.

'Thud' , echoed through the dense forest as my body collapsed on the grass, I couldn't feel any part of me, my hands reached up instinctively towards the back of my head, as though it knew something I didn't, I felt hot liquid and wondered if I fell into a stream. I brought my hand to my face and saw in horror that it was coated with blood and chunks of hair. I looked down at my torso, the red stain was my blood.

My eyes started to lose focus, the trees above me was spinning, it felt like the earth was closing up on me but it was perfectly fine. I heard a bang and then an echo of it through the forest, it was perfectly OK if I died here, I tried my best, I'm sure that 'they' would forgive me.

But who are the 'they' .

I slowly fell unconscious, as a weird incantation resounded in my ear.
"Levrak dun mis kundik eclo laruk"
(with this we bind the beasts of the sky, land and sea) this I said as though I was compelled and then I lost consciousness.

****************************

' we found her while we were hunting, almost shot the little pumpkin '

'Paitent's name unknown '

'Time of operation 3:45'

'Scapel'

' patient might experience severe psychological problems"

'Hello little one, hope you get well soon'

I regained and lost consciousness more times than I could count. Sometimes I didn't understand a word that was being said. But I remember a woman that would always sing soothing songs to me.

'Beep, beep, beep' was the sound I woke up to, I had a splitting headache, the light was too bright.

'Drip, drip' came the sound of water dropping from the roof to the ground in the janitors closet at the far right end of the hall behind the door. I had no idea how I could tell, maybe it was because the room had the strongest scent of bleach.... I don't think it's normal.

"Demrik luc" (no its not) it was a girl sitted on the couch by my left, dressed in a hospital gown like myself. She was beautiful and probably around 10 years or so.

The sound of the door distracted me from her, an old man dressed in white walked in, speaking with some other people dressed like him. After a few steps into the room they all froze, they didn't expect me to be awake.

'Hello little one' I recognised the voice from when I was unconscious
Ignoring him I turned to the little girl on the couch, she had her feet up on the couch and smirking at me, I blinked at her and looked away.

"You were found in the forest a few weeks ago, we fixed you up, you will be as good as new in a few months"
The man continued.
"What's your name love"
The pretty lady beside him asked, her skin was a pretty shade of the earth, I had never seen anything like it. When her hands reached out to pet my head, I grabbed her hand and rubbed my thumb vigorously on her skin, I wondered if the color was paint.
She laughed, the sound startled me, it sounded like a melody, looking up at her I noticed her hair and I wondered if that was real as well.
"What your name sugar" she asked again. I looked at her and frowned, I couldn't remember. I shook my head at her and she sighed and looked at the men behind her.
'Kler hundimu cogimurut' (you are a pretty lady)
The lady smiled and said "I have absolutely no idea what you've just said but I would take it as a compliment, at least i hope it is"

"Hold up let me look up what language that might be" a clumsy little man said, his head peeking from behind two huge men in front of him.

I call him clumsy because in the next three minutes he is going to tumble and fall and take the two huge men down with him.

" Well I can't find it, maybe we should get her to say something else so that Google translat.... Argggh", and down he when grabbing the tie of one of the huge men, choking him in the process and grabbing the other man below the belt with a low shriek all three went down.

I giggled and then my eyes went wide, how did I know this would happen.
Panicked I started blurting, 'freprevor burik mum dunck a acalar mumbis buk‽"
(I just knew that they would fall, is that normal?).

The pretty lady kicked the clumsy man, she thought he had frightened me. She turned to me touching my hair she whispered, 'Everything will be just fine'.
