Bashing through the brush and shrubs, I emerged from the forest and ended up in a clearing. With my feet bleeding and blistering, I stumble to the ground in a clearing. I don't have any more energy...
I crawl to one of the many trees surrounding me. I slumped against the trunk in exhaustion.
I looked at the sky to see it was dark and you could see the twinkling light for the stars. I stared in awe. I haven't seen the stars since I was taken or the sky for that matter.

I heard birds chirping and felt the sun rays on my eyelids. I blinked my eyes a few times so they could adjust in the sunlight. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around to see I'm still in the forest on the same tree. 'Dang, I fell asleep.' I looked up at the sky to see it's almost in the afternoon.
I smiled suddenly full of energy, all tiredness gone. 'If I start running now i'll be there in an a couple hours!' I jumped into the trees and ran like my life was on the line.

I was panting and leaned up on a tree. 'Come on almost there.' I started to walk slowly trying to get my energy back up. I saw a hill up ahead. I groaned thinking even though it isn't that big but it's going to hurt my legs more.
When I was at the top I looked down the other side and guess what I saw.
"I'm finally here!" I smiled and ran down the hill despite the pain. 'I felt worst pain.' I was right in front of the gate. The gatekeepers didn't know I was right here, but I don't care. All I can think about is that I'm finally home after so many years! I had tears of joy streaming down my cheeks with a huge grin to accompany it. I was wondering if the keepers were ever going to notice me. I jumped up to the room they were in and I saw that one was asleep and the other was reading a magazine. I sweatdroped. 'They aren't good keepers are they?'
"Hello?" they both jumped into a fighting position but the one that was asleep fell over his own chair. I giggled when the one with the magazine yelled at the one on the floor. They snapped their heads at my direction.
"W-what are y-you doing up here?" the one on the floor stuttered and they were both blushing.
"I was seeing if you two will let me in." I said and pointing to the village.
"Who are you? You look familiar." the one with the magazine said.
"I'm Ren Haruno!"
