Dreams and Nightmares

Alea gasped and shot up into a sitting position. She held her hands to her head.
"Where am I?" She mumbled. She didnt know. Actually she didnt know anyting at all. Not even her own name.
All she rememberd was she was walking and was attacked by some theif. Of course, she had nothing on her, so she really didnt see the point.
She tryed to remember, but it was like there was a barrier blocking the past.Alea growled in frustration.
She cheaked herself over for injurys but the back of her head hurt the worst. She toched it gingerly with her hand and looked at it: it was covered in blood. She growled again. This was really getting on her nerves. She could tell this was NOT going to be a good day.

"Are you dying?" Ying asked the elven girl in a voice mixed with concern and curiousity . Her and her brother arrived just a few seconds ago. They were heading back to the Shadow Vally where they lived. She noticed the girl and figured she should check it out much to her brothers disappointment.

Yang lean by a tree an watched quietly. It wasn't that he didn't want to help or didn't care about the person. It was just that he didn't really trust people he didn't know. His sister however had no issue and would talk to anyone.

Alea turned her attention to the girl in front of her. Did she know this girl? She couldn't remember."Um... Hi. No, I'm not dying, I just can't seem to remember anything. Not even my own name. It's quite frustrating actually. Do I know you?"

"Really, that sounds like it might be kind of fun. Because then you could be whoever you want." Ying commented happily. "But no, i don't think you know us." She added in a more serious tone.

Why don't you just be friends with the whole kingdom and get it over with? That way we won't have to keep stopping to interact with every person you see. Yang growled angrily to his sister telepathically. He wanted to get home before they were noticed by someone with bad intentions.

Don't be so silly. The whole kingdom is so big, not even our whole immortal life span would be enough to meet everyone. She replied teasingly.

Alea thought about that for a moment. "Yea, I guess that could be fun." She looked at her hand again. "So... do you happen to have a bandige?"

Ying looked at her brother. "Do you have any bandages on you?"

" A few." Yang answered and came closer. He handed the girl the bandages. The girl wasn't that much younger then they were. He wondered what happened.

"So do you remember anything at all? Like how you got here and why your bleeding?" Ying asked. It was a shame that the girl was hurt and having memory issues.

Ale shook her head. "Not really. All I remember is that I was attacked but someone." She gingerly tied the bandages around her throbbing head.

"Who would want to attack you? You seem so nice." Ying commented. She looked around to see if there was any sign of who attacked the elf. But who or what ever it was left a long time ago. She looked the girl over, her appearance resembled a warrior of some sort. "Well i guess we will just have to sit here and brain storm ideas to help you with your memory problem." She said smiling at the girl.

"Where would I even start? Oh, lets see.... I guess our best bet would be to start with my name." She tried but couldn't even find a hint in her mind to what it would be.

"I was thinking of simple stuff first. Like what you like doing. Most people define who they are by what they do. What they do usually leads back to where they lived and their up brining. So in theory by finding out what you like, we can trace it back to the general area of where you live. Then we can go look there for more clues." Ying said smiling.

Yang raised an eyebrow at his sister. How is it that a nut case like you ends up with all the brains?

Just lucky i guess. Ying said in response to her brother. To the elf girl she said. "You have a bow and warrior like stuff. So your obviously a warrior of sorts, that or you just really like archery. Take a look at some of your stuff and see if you can find any clues."

"Oh yea! That's a good idea. I remember having my name carved into my bow when I finished making it!" She quickly took her bow from her back and looked it over. "Ah! Here it is! Aparently, my name is..... Alea! Yes, it's comming back to me!"

"Yay!" Ying said smiling and giving Alea an enthusiastic hug. "Your name is so pretty." she commented when the girl mentioned what her name was.

"So do you remember anything useful now, like what actually happened?" Yang asked curiously. He didn't like the idea of some unknown person attacking young girls.

"Umm... that part is a bit fuzzy. But I do remember that I was walking home. But that doesn't really help though."

"To bad. Well maybe we should walk home with you just in case the person comes back." Ying suggested. She was curious to see where her new friend lived.

"Well I at least know where that is. Maybe something there will triger some memories." Alea said hopefuly. "It's this was." She pointed east and started walking.

The twins followed the elf girl wondering what her place was like. They kept their guard up just in case, the woods were a perfect place for an ambush. The girl seemed nice but it was strange how someone randomly attacked her. Nothing appeared to be stolen from the girl, so it was not a thief. This meant that there had to be some kind of reason.
