Girl Of Two Minds

Named

chapter- 3 Named

POV: Lia

'Hey there” a male voice calls to me.

Why am I back in here! Infuriated the other girl yells at me Why why why me! You think you're imprisoned, what about me I’m trapped here FOREVER WHY ME WHAT DID I EVER DO! YOU'RE THE MISTAKE, YOU'RE THE PROBLEM. I'M THE STRONG ONE NOT YOU!

I'm supposed to be here, stop yelling at me.

I burst into tears. “What's wrong are you hurt or, um ..er what do you need” the voice sounds worried now.

I feel a shake on my shoulder and open my eyes, tears cloud my vision as he comes into view. He has jet black hair, and blue eyes, but they're also dirty, like he has muddy eyes. I try to sit up but end up crumpling to the ground, right before I smack concrete his arm comes under me helping me to stand up. I don't want to talk I want to just lie down. Even if they saved me now I will always be a prisoner.

“You have a name”, he asks. I just shake my head. “Do you want one,” he asks again.

Do I? Will it be any different than being addressed as it, her, that, will it make me any different from what I am, a tool. I decide to nod.

“Well it's your name, you should pick it.” He says to me,” The sun's light is pretty, yeah” he says randomly looking at the glowing ball in the sky.

He called it 'light' , I like that. “Lia,”i weakly mumble.

“Lia, that's pretty, well hello there Lia, I am Takomi. Nice to save ya,” he answers.

We walk in silence, eventually my legs can't take it anymore and I fall even with him helping me move. He swoops me up bridal-style, carrying me to what I believe to be some sort of hide-out in a dense forest area. It's a small brown tent, with weapons , and gadgets surrounding it. A fire is burning in the center of this 'camp'.

A female voice calls from the tent,”Hey Takomi, are you back did you get the gir-,” She comes out and sees me sitting there,”Oh how are you, didn't do anything to you did he. Sorry bout' hitting you. You looked pretty different back there, but I see now you're good, right?'' she walks over to me and pokes my arm,”you okay?''

I must look like hell or worse. “I’m good” I mumble so quietly.

I think she hears me because she nods, and walks over and sits on a stump near the fire. “We haft to bring her back, with us ignis” the boy, Takomi, says to her.

“I know give her some time, though.,” she turns to me,”how about tomorrow we explore, yeah sounds fun, right” she smiles excitedly toward me.

Not wanting to speak I nod. This isn't freedom, I think I’m still a tool, I’m not their friend.

She smiles,” There's a little stream, little ways down there. I'll show you the way. It's very cool, calm waters. Maybe you wanna clean up some, you look really dirty. I'll get you towel, some new clothes. Then we can rest” She says, before I can answer she jumps up goes in the tent.

She comes back and shoves some stuff in my arms. Helping me up she shows to the stream. It's not too deep, coming up to the top of my stomach.

“ If you can't swim, don't move very far, you'll probably drown.” she says walking away leaving me alone.

What does 'swim' mean, since I don't know I hope I don't haft to find out. I never realized how dirty I must have looked, the simple white dress I wore was muddy, my fingernails caked, my hair in it's long pigtails was supposed to be light blonde looks almost brown. Revolting. I slide off my dress into the cool water, it feels nice. My dirty body makes the water turn brown, but it washes away with light current. I hold my breath and submerge myself underwater. I hear nothing and feel at peace, like sleeping or death. I come up for breath, and begin cleaning my mess of a self. I step out and head for my towel .My hair grazes the floor as I walk. I find the clothes Ignis left for me. A simple yellow nightgown. I attempt to walk back to the camp but I forgot which way it was. I take deep breath I don't like being alone. I mean I was always alone, but I knew where I was sort-of. I don't want to yell for help, but I shouldn't just walk around into nothingness.

You really are an idiot, idiot.

Will you please stay out of this, please

OK, die in the forest

What's a 'forest'

A place with trees, and shit. You are completely dense sometimes. There is a path right in front of you, idiot.

That's not nice

I hate you, but I don't want us to be killed out here

Thank you

I still hate you, but this body needs to not be damaged for when I get it

The other girl was right I couldn't tell at first, but there was a path in front of me. I walk along for about five minutes when I see the little camp we have. The fire is still blazing.

“Hey, you're back” the girl, Ignis, calls. She looks very pretty. She has vibrant red eyes, that flash with orange and yellow, like flames. Her purple hair has been let down, and is wavy and looks soft.

I quietly go and sit next to her.

“ So before we hit the hay. Tell us about yourself,”She asks. Seeing my confusion she say,”Like what's your name? How old are you? Where did you come from? That kind of stuff.” she stops talking looking at me for answers. Only I don't know how to answer.

“She gave herself the name Lia, and she looks about ten” Takomi answers for me

“ I asked her not you" She remarks. Then they start fighting

I look down at myself. I'm very short. I have small and feet. I look fragile, weak.

“ Actually I'm not ten, but fifteen” I say above their bickering, “I have no idea where I am from, and I don't know anything about you two.”

They stare blankly at me, as if I was talking in a different language.

“She can speak more than a mumble” Ignis yells then hugs me.

“Your fifteen, you're kidding. In thought you were ten, your so tiny.” Takomi says. He seems so shocked, I don't look that tiny, I think.

"Well my name is Ignis, you already knew that. I'm eighteen. I don't know where i came from either, but i don't really care." she answers

"I'm Takomi, Seventeen. I came from a village," He looks down at his hands, saddened," But it's gone now. Dosen't matter," He looks up, with a cheery smile,"I'm tired, let's go to sleep"

Ignis gives each of us a blanket. They're warm and soft. I lay down on the hard ground still betetr than my cage. I close my and almost instantly go to sleep.
