The little girl sat leaning against one of the ruined buildings, hidden from view yet able to see far enough to run from danger. She was exhausted, she might be used to never having a full nights sleep but this constant running and fighting and running again was getting to her. She was staying in this place for the moment, it had food and there was no use in going back to the place with the castle. Not now Adel was gone.

She had been so mad when she came back from the feast to find the alien gone, she had thought she had ran off and it wasn't until her picture came up in the sky that she realised she'd been killed. Stupid alien, couldn't even last a couple of hours without her help.

Aliens were on her list of things that she didn't like, as well as mice, ducks and cats. Pruna had a nasty scratch on her side from a run in with a cat that had far too many claws for her liking. It had tasted nice though even if it had taken her far too long to light a fire and she had had to run the moment it was cooked in case anyone came after her.

She probably looked a frightening sight, her face was smeared with dirt and blood, luckily the black clothes she wore hid the worst of it and she was sat making a flower chain, knife in hand in case she was disturbed. No one was going to steal her stuff, or kill her. Since learning that this was a different world and she had been kidnapped she was determined to survive, survive and go back home and convince Elina she really hadn't ran away.

She missed her sister, and hated that she was being kept here and hated that she hurt so much. She had used the medicine she had gotten in the feast to heal her worst cut but there were lots more. She froze thinking she had heard a sound and glanced round warily.

Her posture changed to a defensive one immediately, knife coming up between her and the stranger. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Why?"

[pursuitofcappiness]

"You look hurt," he replies. "I just want to help you. You don't have to put your knife down, but please don't cut me if I come near. I'll get some water."

[knifewithnoname]

She continued glaring at him, keeping the knife up not understanding why he would want to help her when he didn't even know her.

Still she nodded slowly, "I wont be cutting you, but if you do be trying to kill me you do be being dead."

[pursuitofcappiness]

"That's fair," he replies. He wouldn't betray her trust; he'd think that'd be grounds for execution in a place like this. He takes out a small can of river-water, not as clean as bottled but he's drank it and decided it was decently fine. He rips off a piece of his cape, a part of it that hasn't gotten dirt or sweat, to use as a cloth. "Are you all by yourself?"

[knifewithnoname]

She watched him carefully, in case he went against his words and nodded, "Yes, do you be being alone too?" She glanced around them, in case he had her surrounded.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"I've got friends, but they didn't want to come to Tomorrowland," he replies. "One of them gets big and scary and mean if he comes here, so we split up," he says, as he dips the ripped cloth into his water and reaches for her. "If you're hurt, it might sting a little, but it'll help me find where to patch you up."

[knifewithnoname]

"I would be thinking being big, scary and mean would be being useful." She said, though she was confused at how he was only that in this place and not the other places.

She glared at him suspiciously again but shuffled a little bit closer, "I can be doing it, I do no be a baby."

[pursuitofcappiness]

"You'd think so," he says. "But he doesn't like hurting anyone." And then he continues cleaning. "I know you can do it yourself, but I think it might go quicker if I help. Then we can get out of here."

[knifewithnoname]

"Lot's of people do be saying that." A stupid attitude to have in a fight to the death, but the girl wasn't complaining. It made her job easily if people weren't trying to kill her back.

She nodded again, still suspicious and sat very still as he cleaned her injuries, not wincing even once.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"I know," he replies, concerned that she's so young and already so untrusting. This place brings out the worst in everyone. This kind of stuff pisses him off.

"How long have you been here?" he asks.

[knifewithnoname]

She shrugged, waking up pain along her shoulders, "Before we did be starting this fighting, two days before that I do be thinking I did be being brought to this world."

[pursuitofcappiness]

"That's not very long," he says, frowning. "Have you gotten to eat yet?"

[knifewithnoname]

She nodded, "I did be telling you I do no be being a baby. I have been having lots of food."

That was a lie, and her stomach growled to prove her wrong, she scowled.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Steve thinks for a second. "Well that's a shame, because I picked too many peaches in the orchard. They're a little too heavy to walk with, but I wasn't hungry, so I was just going to throw them away."

[knifewithnoname]

She was instantly stuck between childish want for the fruit and suspicion.

"You do be lazy if you can no even be carrying a few peaches."

[pursuitofcappiness]

"Well, I've got a lot of peaches," he replies. "You should take some."

[knifewithnoname]

"You do be wanting me to be carrying them?" She wrinkled her nose at him.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"You could eat some," he replies.

[knifewithnoname]

She gave him the most suspicious look, "You do be just giving me peaches? What do the catch be being?"

[pursuitofcappiness]

"No catch," he says, slight concern on his face. "It's not nice to starve. I don't want you to."

[knifewithnoname]

"You must be wanting something though, nobody do be giving no one free food."

He can't be that much of an idiot...

[pursuitofcappiness]

Oh, he is.

"I'd like to see us all get through this arena, but I don't think that's something you can give me. But you can try."

[knifewithnoname]

Rolling her eyes. "Did you no be getting the message. We do be being here until we do all be dead. Only one person can be living."

Really was she the only one who wasn't going to be stupid about this.

[pursuitofcappiness]

"You might be right, but I'm not making it any easier for us to die," he says adamantly.

[knifewithnoname]

"Do you be liking it here?" She asked wrinkling her nose again.
