Your feet hurt.

You had been walking towards the Hidden Leaf for a day and a half and you had to admit you were tired. The slight amount of luggage you had taken seemed to get heavier and heavier each step of the way. You honestly wanted to pass out right then and there.

You looked down at the swell of your ankle. Earlier while crossing the desert your foot had slipped and sprained it.

You missed the ground that you camped in yesterday and were tempted to turn back. The woods around you were quiet, a chilly breeze passed by.

You stared at the frosted grass and then at the path ahead of you.

"I'll just sit for a bit." Just like you said you would, you sat down and leaned against a tree.

The sun was barely above the horizon, it was going to be dangerous to sleep in the woods but you were too tired to think about that.

You decided to just rest your eyes for a while.

___

"Would you look at that."

"What kind of person falls asleep around here?"

"It doesn't matter, her stupidity will be beneficial to us anyway."

"And with that pretty face who knows how much we'll get for her." Both men erupted into laughter.

You opened your eyes when you felt your hands being tied together.

"What are you doing?" You screamed. You tried to struggle against the man but he held you down roughly. Your luggage was taken by the other guy.

"Let go of me!" You tried to kick him with your good leg.

"Help!" The man put cloth in your mouth, shutting you up.

You let out muffled cries.

The guy grabbed your face and made you face him.

"Shut up or else I'll do something worse than taking you away."

He caressed your cheek. His breath smelled terrible but his words hurt more.

"Look at me." The guy said. "I said look at me or else you know what will happen!"

You opened your eyes slowly only to see a fist hitting the delinquent. Your savior turned around and yelled at the other man who stood shocked.

The two offenders ran off into the forest.

"Are you okay?" The boy who had rescued you looked anxiously at you. He had the most beautiful blue eyes you had ever seen, and had hair that resembled the sun.

However, his looks didn't guarantee your safety. You backed away into the tree you had slept on not too long ago.

The boy's eyes seemed to soften at your reaction. He approached you slowly not wanting to scare you further.
