Torn Memories

Prologue

Prologue

Her eyes flicker open coming face to face with the harsh rays from the sun. She licks her dry lips and brings her left hand up to cover her eyes from the blinding light.

"...sun...." she mutters licking her lips again as if to remind her what she's looking at.

She turns on her side and pushes herself up with her free hand feeling a stabbing pain in her right arm. She winces leaning against a nearby tree.

"Where...am I?" She questions coughing a bit.

She looks around at her surroundings taking in the breathtaking view from where's she sitting. A patch of white flowers sitting next to a tall tree that is leaning over a ledge. Across the ledge us a bridge covered In vines spreading to the west side. The sunlight is seeping through leaves that are attached lazily to the trees.

'I have to get up.' She mutters more to herself than silence that fills the forest. Her voice echoing loudly

Wrapping her left arm around the tree,she pulls herself up using some of the strength she has left in her.

'Now I have to find....someone that will help.' She clears her throat and pushes herself away from the mint smelling tree that has moss all over it.

Stumbling a few steps she finally manages to get used to walking. She continues walking until she hears the loud engine of a car roar past. Her lips turn upwards, feeling a tinge of hope rise up Inside of her.

Swatting away the plants in her way, she makes it to a clearing and sees a blur of what seemed to be a car hault a few meters away from her.

A lady who looks like she's 19 or 20 gets out and looks at the girl with shorts on and a bra who looks like she's been living in the forest for what looks like forever.

The lady has black hair that is tied Into a messy bun, she has green eyes and thin lips. The wrinkles are a clear display that she has a lot of stress in her life. The fact that she's wearing sweats with converse makes her appearance much more appealing and makes her look younger.

"Are you ok?" The lady asks. Her voice laced with concern. She takes a few steps forward and lifts her hands gently.

"..no..."She says in almost a whisper.

"What's your name?" The lady asks taking a few more steps forward.

"I-I-I don't know...." She says a bit louder.

"Do you need help?" The lady asks again taking a final amount of steps before stopping in front of the girl with no shoes and leaves in her hair.

"Please catch me...."She whispers before falling Into the lady's arms.
