When It fell

Riley

She layed there on the ground for a second breathing in and out sharply. She looked down at her now bleeding arm and picked her self up grabbing at her elbow.

Damn it. When i thought it wouldn't get any worse.

She looked back at the finger only then realizing it wasn't on an actully finger. Wood. The ring was on a wooden display finger. This mountian of rumble probably used to be a jewlery shop. 

Great now I cut myself for no reason at all.

Still standing in the same place she looked around. Nobody. She was all alone, but she felt eyes on her. She slowly took a few steps away.

"Hello? Is anybody there? " she called out.

Nobody replied. She shruged, she was probably just going crazy, after all THIS WHOLE THING WAS CRAZY. She kept walking until she came across a small clearing.

There was a cute little fountain right in the middle of the circular clearing. Well it probably used to be a cute little fountain. The base bowl was still intact with most of its water still in it.

She walked up to it and looked at her reflection.

Damn. I know I looked bad, but fuck,  I looked like i was in a wrestling match or something.

She started brushing through her long hair with her hand until it looked decent. Then she splashed some water on her face to get the dirt off. She wiped the water off her eyes and looked at her reflection once agian.

"that looks a little better i guess. " she said to her self.

"definitely." said a second voice.

Zarah jumped back at the sight of another girl's reflection in the water and turned to look at the girl.

She looked about 17, the same age as Zarah. With brown hair that almost matched the color of her eyes. Her hair was cut into a short boyish pixie cut. She gave off a masculine and brave impression, but she was still very beautiful.

"who are you? " Zarah asked. realizing how scared she sounded, she straightend her posture and tried to look as confident as her small figure could.

"My name is Emalee Rose Riley the third. " she replied powerfully.

"But you can call me Riley. And your name? "

"Z-Zarah." she said.

"Hahah, im suprised you survived the attack 'Z-Zarah', the only reason i did was because i was far in the woods."

"I-I didnt, i have no idea where i am. I just fucking appeared in that field! Why am i in medevil times??!?  Im from the year 2015!"

Riley stared at her in disbelief.

"You too?" she whispered in horror. All of her powerful seeming expressions dissapeared.

They both jumped when they heard a horrendous screach. It sounded far away. Then another, exept this time it was a little closer.

Riley grabbed her arm "come on! " she yelled. Starting to run while Zarah's arm was still in her clutch.

Good thing im a good runner

They ran through they village dodging ruble and jumping over rocks and broken furniture. Zarah almost falling several times. They ducked into a tiny door way into a square room no bigger than a closet.

"climb up fast." Riley said out of breath. Then she started climbing up an iron looking ladder.

Zarah looked up. The ladder was pretty tall, but as another screach rang out she followed Riley up that ladder faster than she knew she could go.

They entered a larger square room that had arched windows on each side. What used to be curtains still hung, torn and burned.

"How do you feel about heights and jumping?" Riley asked in a hurry.

"You're joking right?"

"Not at all. "

Riley pulled back on the torn threads of a curtain to reveal a roof top. It was just a few feet away and a couple feet below them. Riley looked back at Zarah and then steped up on the ledge.

"Don't fall. " she said bravely, but with an almost smirk on her face. Then she jumped. Zarah ran up to the window in disbelief at first, the she saw Riley standing there tapping her foot.

"You coming or what? " she yelled up. Zarah looked down nervously, it was a long fall. She put her first foot on the ledge, then a second.  The wind blew through her hair, scaring her half to death. She screamed as she started falling.

She felt her hands and knees on the hard surface but her eyes were closed. Then she felt Riley grab her arm. 

"Wow, you're worse than I thought." Riley laughed then helped Zarah up.

"C'mon there is plenty more running and jumping. " she said as she started running.

"Oh hell. " Zarah said out of breath.

They ran and jumped, Zarah falling behind every jump but catching up when it came to running.

"Here we are." Riley said starting to move a few large bails of hay, then struggled to move a circular stone wedge in the ground. Then she ducked into a stone tunnel.

Zarah followed after her. They had to crouch through the tunnel. After a while the stone turned to dirt, And the dirt turned into an opening.

"Home sweet home" Riley said as they entered the wide space.
