She woke up in a dark forest, unable to remember what happened or what brought her here.
Her head hurt a lot and she had a hard time standing up.
She did it anyway, slowly and unsteady, holding on to a tree next to her. When her eyes got used to the dark forest, she saw a black backpack at her feet

ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖, 𝕀 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕠 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕜. 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕕𝕚𝕣𝕥𝕪. ℙ𝕝𝕦𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕤 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕡𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕥𝕤 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕡𝕦𝕥 𝕚𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕞𝕤.

She clutched her head, feeling sharp pain through her skull.
When the pain eased a little bit, she picked up the backpack and searched through it, finding multiple flashlights in it.

She smiled a little bit at the memories.
She put on the flashlight and looked through the forest, after closing, and putting on the backpack. She started to walk through the forest, ignoring the cold air, brushing against her skin. After some time she found a house, which lead her to a city, with beautiful landscapes and some houses and buildings. She walked some time on the path, until she heard noises. The noises started to get more clearer until she noticed those were voices, getting closer and closer by every step. Sharp pain build up in her skull and memories started to flash into her head.

She ran away from the voices, hoping the pain would stop.
And it did, it stopped, she could neither hear the voices, nor feel the pain anymore.
And she continued to walk on the path, looking around and appreciating the city

The girl reached a house and thought it was the end of the path, but looking around in it she saw three more paths, all leading to somewhere else.
She continued on one of the paths.

After some time walking, she reached a nation, it was destroyed.
It looked kind of creepy to her but she still walked on the glass, that prevented her from falling.

'What happened here?', she wondered.
She walked on the glass for some time

''uhm, excuse me?'', she heard a voice behind her
She turned around and saw a girl, with pink hair and a long cloak hanging behind her back
''Who are you?'', she came closer to her, setting her into panic

''Oh, you don't need to be scared of me! I mean no harm'', She stopped in her tracks
''I just wanted to ask who you are''
She was confused, she swore she had seen this girl before, but she couldn't remember where

She still didn't say a word, instead, she made a movement of writing something in the air
''Y-u-k-i'', she spelled out, ''Yuki, that's a pretty name''
She smiled as a response

Niki respected that she didn't talk, since she didn't want to push her and make her uncomfortable
''My name is Niki'', Yuki nodded  in response

She stepped closer and looked into her eyes, it made her nervous.
''you look kind of familiar, like a friend I once had'', she tilted her head and shrugged

''do you want a tour?'', she shook her head, refusing
''oh okay, well, if you need anything, give me a sign or something, okay?'', Niki said, turning around. ''I need to see a friend, wanna come with me?'', she shortly turned her head to Yuki's direction, to see her answer. 
She agreed, so they started walking in silence.

''By the way he could be a little intimidating, so don't be too scared, please'', Yuki nodded, while walking beside her

As they were walking, Niki kept talking about stuff, like her friends, family or the nation, that she had found her in.
It was interesting hearing what story this pink haired girl had in the past. 

Her childhood was pretty normal, until a friend and his brother started a nation.
It had an interesting past.
The war, the betrayal, the election, and many more.

When they had finally arrived, two tall men were standing outside, talking and laughing.
They noticed us and stopped talking.
I stopped in my tracks.

𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨, 𝕒𝕥 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕡𝕠𝕚𝕟𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕝𝕨𝕒𝕪𝕤 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕤𝕒𝕪 𝕘𝕠𝕠𝕕𝕓𝕪𝕖, 𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕟𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕝 𝕘𝕠𝕠𝕕𝕓𝕪𝕖 𝕒𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕕𝕠𝕠𝕣𝕨𝕒𝕪, 𝕠𝕣 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕘𝕠𝕠𝕕𝕓𝕪𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕒 𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕚𝕞𝕖. 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕣𝕪, 𝕀'𝕞 𝕤𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕖'𝕣𝕖 𝕘𝕠𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕞𝕖𝕖𝕥 𝕒𝕘𝕒𝕚𝕟 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕕𝕒𝕪.

Niki noticed me stopping and turned around to look at me
''Yuki? Are you coming?'', She looked at her shortly before looking at the pink haired guy again.
They were just staring at each other, trying to remember who he was, and not believing she was finally with him again.
Techno rushed to her, only to be stopped by Niki
''be careful and don't scare her'', she said worried, Techno just looked at her and continued his way to the shorter girl.

''is it actually you?'', she just blantly looked at him, quietly
He grabbed her arms and pulled her into a hug, putting her head onto his chest.
She also put her arms around him.

''wait is that her?'', the other guy, also called Philza, came closer to them.
''she looks exactly like her'', Technoblade said, pulling out of the hug.
She was smiling, switching looks between the two guys.

"I cant believe I'd see her again, it's been so many years", Phil said, while Niki just confusedly walked to the side to also look at the girl

"you know her?", the woman asked, wondering
"yeah, you don't remember her? She was our neighbor before we moved away, Wilburs best friend", the older man looked at Niki

"anyways Yuki, how has life been since we didn't see each other?", Techno asked, expecting an answer.
She quietly looked down and started to play with her hands
"are you okay? Please tell me if there's anything wrong with you", he said, trying to get an answer out of her

"cut it man, she doesn't speak", Niki looked at Techno, before looking at the girl
She just nodded.
Techno pulled her into another hug and rubbed her back
"it's okay if you don't speak", he mumbled "I'm just happy you're with me again", Techno added.
