Lost. I shouldn't have ran... or should I? Maybe It's better to die out here, free, rather than spend another day locked up in that house of misery and funky smelling scraps of food... Either way, I'll never know... I ran and now I'm out here in the forest all alone. But its ok, because I can feel the dirt under foot, and taste the fresh, sweet tang of berries, however long it will last... My name is Ash. It's short for Ashley, but only Father and the mean old lady calls me that... I'm supposed to call her Ma'am, but I used to call her Grammy when I was little. I'm 12 now, so "It's expected of me to act like a Lady". My Father would dress me in my sister Ruthie's old smart clothes whenever she would visit, a nice change to my scrappy clothes I would usually wear. But sometimes i'd be made to dress in my "Sunday best" and I hated it because it made me feel all itchy and uncomfortable... Anyway, I left all that behind when I ran, so I guess I'll never have to do that again! Finally I'm free, but at what cost? Can I really survive all alone out here?

I pull my canteen out and take a swig of my hot cider letting it warm my body, but got interrupted by my sister shouting at me over the wind. "Can you take a picture of me? I have to post it to my followers when we get back down the mountain!" I roll my eyes and turn towards her, I don't even have to say anything to her, because she knows i'll always take photos for her as annoying as she may be. I peel off my mittens and feel the harsh wind eat away at my bare fingers. I stuff them in my bag, before I grab her phone and start backing up to get a better angle of her. She stands by the edge of the cliff and poses. I snap a few photos then flip the camera to take a few selfies with her in the background, even with her words of protest. I walk up to her at the edge, feeling the snow crunch under my boots, and hand her phone back. I then swing my rucksack around to the front of me, get on my knees and start to dig around for my mittens. I suddenly feel the ground shake under me. Before I could even stand up fully, the snow under my legs crumble before my eyes. Holy fuck. The snow is coming loose and is avalanching. I already feel my body fall backwards as the ground under me disappears. I look up at my sister whose face has morphed into shock. My body feels as light as a feather. This is the end for me I know it. I brace my self for deadly impact, but it never comes.. A bright light flashes as everything around me goes white. I wake up to be laying in soft snow with my rucksack on top of me. My head spun as I sat up. I look around and all I see are large trees. In fact, these trees look larger than any i've ever seen in my life, which includes the ones on Animal Planet. Where the hell am I? I look up at the sky and I see two suns? Did I get a concussion? No that can't be, i'm not seeing double with trees or my fingers. {Transmigration to Beast Continent successful} {System 002 has now been assigned to you}
