Spirited Away
"I'm not gonna leave you." Blue eyes fluttered open at those words. A small, nearly inaudible sigh slipping past her cracked lips. She was grateful, truly grateful that she was out of the water and on land with someone. She wasn't alone. At least for now. Sure, she was in more pain then she'd ever felt before, but it slowly numbed into a dull ache as the frozen water worked its way to her muscles. On top of that, the adrenaline did well to mask most of the pain now. She shivered as the male decided to lie beside her, and she was so very grateful for the warmth that would come. Usually, she wouldn't let some stranger get so close, but in this case, she would allow the contact. It was a life or death situation, and she didn't drift all that way just to die from pneumonia or freeze into an icicle on the beach.
Her brows furrowed as she tried to steady her breathing, trying to force her body to stop shaking so much. Her ears slightly twitched when he asked her name, and for a horrifying moment she couldn't remember. Everything in her mind right now was muddled, but she knew she had a name. She knew hers...She was the only one... "U...na...my...name..." She gritted her teeth, head slowly shaking. She must sound like some foreign dolt. Or like she had something mentally wrong. No, it would not do. Resting her head on the sand for a moment as she tried to clear the headache, she would try again. "My name...is..Una...th-thank you for...saving me.." It was a struggle to say such a simple sentence, but she hoped that with some rest and warmth, she would be talking alot better then she was now. |
