Amata! Italics are dream-world. <3 305 words.
It had been a great number of days since the accident, but there seemed to be no improvement in the young Marino's state of being. Her small body was growing more frail with each passing day, and though her family had been doing everything that they could to get what nutrition they could force into her, but there was no denying the that young Marino was beginning to waste away. If her family could not wake her soon, then there likely would be little hope for her. Ten days had passed since she had fallen from the roof of the manor and hit her head, and unbeknownst to the sleeping girl, it had been just as long since Denali had run away with feelings of guilt, though it was not his fault at all. The girl slept on, unaware of the members of the pack who came into her room, unaware of how many hours her mother and sisters sat beside her.
She did not know where she was. Artemis could not see anyone, and she did not recognize the place where she was. It did not look like anywhere in Crimson Dreams, and the color seemed to be drained out of the world, faded and empty-feeling. "Hello?" she called, taking a step forward into the strange, cold-feeling world. There was something wrong with this place, but the young silver girl did not know how she had gotten there, let alone where the place was. How had she gotten to this place, and where was everyone else? Why could she not remember how she had gotten there? She felt like there was something horribly wrong with her being there... It did not feel right. Why was she stuck there, and how could she get back to her home and her family? She felt so alone.
