Your POV.

My body was stiff, each muscle paralyzed. The dirt path I laid upon stained the once beautiful white garments I wore.The sound of horses galloping through the area can be heard getting closer.I'm in physical pain, something I haven't felt before in my life. I don't like it, it hurts.I remain on the ground, unmoving, as the horses close in on me. The dirt gets skidded across, hitting me as they stop. I hear men screaming, all I can do is manage out a small, "I'm here." Under my breath, hoping they heard my desperate plea.The first thing I see is my mother. She kneels down and helps me stand, the worry I saw in her eyes had crushed me. 

I feel terrible for making them all worry, for being weak.Once I'm seated on the horse we begin the trot back to our home, our kingdom.

I'm standing in the restroom, staring at my reflection in the large, pond-like bath. I'm a complete mess.Scratches, bruises, and blood covered my body. My once soft H/C hair was now tangled with a mix of blood, and dirt caked inside. The once bright E/C eyes I owned were now bloodshot and dilated. My lip had split and I can see visible scab growing. Let's hope bathing will help clean all this up.  

  I step inside the warm water and sink deep under. The water feels good on my skin, I can feel some of the dried blood wash away. My scratches sting as I apply soap to them.My hair slowly untangles itself when I put in the conditioner. Looking at my reflection in the water, I see myself begin to look less dead.My body turns, causing the water to ripple a little, but I stop. The hairs on the back of my neck stand, the feeling of being watched makes itself appear. In the the reflection of the water, I'm able to see a shadow.The shadow leaves just as fast as it showed up. I was being watched.
