Chapter two (P.O.V - Nani, the unknown fainting girl.)
My eyelids felt like they were glued together. But my hands felt like stone, so I couldn't pry then open. Instead, I used sheer willpower to finally wake myself up. When I opened my eyes, there were still dots swimming on the edges of my vision. But in clear sight, I saw the girl from the trail, joined by a short, black haired girl.
