* NOTE: I have recently realized that my writing isnt very detailed! from this chapter on i will be sure to add much more details about her thoughts and her five senses (see,hear,taste,touch and smell)
chapter five - on my own
there was a dim light over my eyelids, when i opened my eyes i realized. it wasnt a nightmare. i looked around myself. i could se the burnt wood in a messy pile a few centimeteres away from me. there was a distant dripping sound. the stones where slightly damp, they where a faded gray. i looked down at my clothes, they where full of muck and bits of sand and grass. i unzipped my sleeping back in one quick motion and stood up. outside the cave i could see that i was a few miles away from the sea. far enough that the tide barely would reach the entrance of the cave. i didnt have a clue where i was. i slowly closed my eyes. i didnt know what i was searching for, mabye a waterfall? a hotspring? i wasnt sure but it was worth a try....
i could he the grumbling and splashes of the waves against the end of a cliff. i then heard the rustling of trees, blowing in the blowy air, i heard a bike bell ringing twice and two people laughing... they seemed so happy, i heard them chasing each other away and i continued further up the forsest. i heard running water, finally! i checked for any people. nope no people, i let my mind wander and i soon found the waterfall. perfect. i would run up there with my stuff to get cleaned off. i opened my eyes.
i couldnt hear the water anymore.. just the things in my own hearing range. for some reason i didnt feel like this was weird at all.. although i knew deep down it was. i sighed deeply and rolled up my sleeping bag. i quickly turned around and lifted my backpack and stuffed it in.i zipped the backpack off and started running. i took a deep breath and concentrated on the water fall... i could see it.. i was tracing back my steps.. EAST! i ran of down the beach heading for the rocky -and most likely dangerous to climb- cliff.. i looked about to make sure there was a path anywhere. ah.. i spotted it. instead of climbing i could walk up the slope that lead from the beach.. i didnt take me long to find it.. it was most likely man-made, probably a bike track. i stareted running. it was the first time i had concentrated on my running and it felt great! i could feel the cold air whipping my hair out of my face and hitting my face with so much pressure it stung a little. my steps where quick and i was on my tiptoes. i looked like some wild animal. i was running with such force and speed that i would be blurred. another thing i realized was that nothing else was blurred.. the trees just looked normal, i assumed i was faster than a car, but doesnt the trees go blurry while in a car? i frowned and furrowed up my eyebrows.i reached the shallow pool. that wont do.. its too shallow, plus its a little too open.... i stepped around the pool -natural of course- and headed off to the waterfall. i heard it before i saw it. its gental flow of water showed me it was just right. it wasnt too big either. i sat my bag down on the nearest rock. i ran back a bit, ran and lunged into the air. i landed with a loud splash in the water. i sunk under for a few seconds. the water was much clearer than usual.. i could see the bubbles i had made clearly and i could see everything, it wasnt foggy. -you know, when your in water you cant see too well- it was crystal clear. -not like air of course, it was still blue =.=' - i floated gently back up again and swam over to my bag. i dumped the contents out onto the grass beside the water, beans, peas? - it was dark..-, towel, soap.. i lifted the towel and soap and set it on a flat topped rock. it was like a square. and most likely it wasnt already like that.. -obviously someone set it there because it looked so out of place- i ducked under the water and took of omy shoes. a bunch of sand fell out and into the water.. i then took of my socks and scrubbed them with the bar of soap. i shook them about in the water, twisted them and sat them by the side to dry. i took of my trousers and continued the process, as well with my top, jacket and underwear. i then started scrubbing myself down with the soap. being sure to get of all the dirt,grass and muck. once i was satisfied that my skin was gleaming i rubbed it into my hair. it was extremely hard to handle. it kept floating of all directions. after battleing for twenty minutes i finally got it covered in soap. i then ducked my head under again and rinsed it out inder the waterfall. i steped out and wraped my towel around my body. i lifted out my denim shorts that hit my knees with the big pockets and set them beside my wet clothes. i lifted out a random shirt that i had lifted. it was cream. i put on new underwear and quickly stuck on my shorts and shirti lifted out my sandals and slipped them on. i -finally after searching for it- found my cap and stuck it on. i realized that i hadnt lied my hair up yet.. just to make me lookmore like a tourist i stuck my elastic low on my head and plaited my hair and put another elastic at the bottom. my hair was so long! i lifted up my wet clothes -which where just partly damp now-, folded them up and stuffed them in my bag along with the wowel and soap, beans and peas.. i zipped it up and walked -as casually as possible- down the bike track. i encountered a few people. i smiled and nodded hoping that if anyone had notices up that they wouldnt notice me. i had just forgotten one thing.. my mark on my head. i widend my eyes and placed my hand to the place where it should be. luckily i was saved! my cap had just about covered it since my hair had been pulled back by my cap. i stopped when no one was around and pulled my hair forward -the parts that covered my nose and just made space for my eyes (urahara?)- and stuck my cap on again. i walked onto the beach letting the sand get into my sandals. there was a few sign posts at the parking lot for the beach. i walked over and read the sign, it stated
'town' and was pointing to the right. i started heading in that direction to get a few things, i wonder did i lift my purse? i cant remember...
Chapter six - the new life (not a song name) will be coming out soon! please look forward to it!
