Lisa's POV:

I was standing, leaning against the dusty wall. I was spying on some people, which I thought I was doing pretty unnoticeable.
I yawned, I didn't get much sleep last night, the well isn't that comfortable.

My stomach made a weird sound and I bent over in a bit of pain.
I needed food now..
this weirdo started staring at me, he tilted his head and looked very confused, I just waved quickly and smiled a bit.
He shrug and turned around to the traveler he was guiding

I'd push myself away from the wall and walk over to the barrels with fruit. I'd look around me and grab some apples. I'd take a bite of one and stuff the rest down in my bag. I'd walk back to my spot and finish the apple

The guy from before would whisper something to the other guard and they'd walk up to me.
"Uhm.. did you pay for that one?" The guy from before would ask
"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" I'd ask
"It's just---" the other one would cut him off
"We saw you just stealing that apple you little brat!" he'd turn red in his face
"So what if I did? It was just an apple." I stated
"But someone had to work to get that!" The guy from earlier said
"Well, do I look like I care!?" I'd get a bit annoyed
"Just follow us down to the dungeon." The other guard said
"And... why would I do that? If I may ask" I said really annoyed
"Because you're just some stupid kid. Do as you're told."

I'd turn and start running away
I'd climb the wall of the castle and jump down, they'd be following.
I'd land wrong on my leg slowing me down.
"Darn it!" I'd say a bit too loud
"You can't go any further like that! Stop! You're hurting yourself!" the guard from before yelled
"Oh, shut up! You of all shouldn't care!" I'd reply
"Gah! I do!" He'd shout
"Whatever. I. Don't. Care." I'd say
"Urgh! I'm freaking trying to be nice!" He'd say and sigh
"works very well mate" I'd reply sarcastically
"Shut up! Both of you, especially you you Kirito! She's not our friend, understood!?" The other one would yell at us.
"I know!! But still.. I don't like being mean to them.." he'd reply
"But 'they' are criminals, do you think they care? If they did they'd still be home with mommy and do the cleaning or helping on the fields" He'd state
"Oh, you think so? Too bad I got rid of them a long time ago" I'd grin
"You did..?" Kirito would ask
"I won't tell someone like you if I had" I'd say and speed up
The two of them would still run as they did.
"Sayo, can't we just let her off this time?" Kirito would say and do a secret signal
"Oohhh... you're right. Let's just slow down a bit" they'd both stop
I'd not even turn to them, I'd just run off.

When I finally stopped, I found myself being in the western orc camp. I was lucky to be the only one there for the moment. I'd stop to breathe and check for some food, the apple wasn't quite enough
I sighed and walked towards the big tree. I'd lean against it and slowly sit down.
I'd fall asleep...

Kirito's POV:

I'd pant and slow a bit down.
"Sayo! Wait up!" I'd shout with some of my last energy
"Urgh, you need to train some more, you're out of shape." He'd reply in a pissed tone
"But this is hardcore running after some girl who only stole a freaking apple! I don't get the point!?" I'd add
"It's not the first time she's stolen anything, I think she's the one we've been looking for" Sayo said
"Yeah, you think. Sir. You need to know for sure!" I'd state
"Don't tell me what to know, my heart tells me everything, it doesn't lie." He'd say
"And have you forgotten who you are speaking to Kirito?!" He'd say really pissed
"No, sorry sir.." I'd say and lower my head
"Jerk.." I'd mumble
"Pardon?" Sayo said
"Nothing.." I'd mumble it loud enough for him to hear it
"let's get going!" He'd order
"Yes Sir.." I'd reply and start running faster
