Lucy/Nyu[/b][/size][/i] If you know what's good for you, you won't trust what might look innocent.[/color] The ground was soaked and the sky's were dark and cloudy, ominous, even, and the storms clouds started to drift and the sun--instead of showing itself--hid and started to set. Earthworms, drowned and dead, laid out on the paths and raindrops dripped down from the autumn-painted leaves on the treetops. Cold breezes scattered past the scene, tugging loose and detached leaves swirling with them. It was grim and melancholy, especially for those who hated autumn, hated the thought of winter and snow coming. Everything seemed silent; who would want to be out at such an ugly time? There wasn't even crickets' calls or birds' songs; it was silence. Nothing but silence.
But off to the side of the paths and the trees sat a sight that stood out like a sore thumb. It was a teenage girl no older than eighteen, but she was no ordinary one at that. She sat down on her knees, soaked and shivering, wearing nothing but shorts and a thin, loose, now soaked and see-through sleeveless shirt. Her hair was dyed pink, though it looked so natural, and due to the passed storm, the current lighting, it looked as red as blood. Her eyes matched, toned so deep crimson that it was almost threatening, but they held an expression to innocent, so scared, that they couldn't possibly be feared. Her pupils were shrunk, staring down at her right palm.
Blood oozed down her wrist and hand, a piece of broken glass next to her. Though, she had no idea why. She didn't know why she was in those clothes or that place or much of anything, really. Her eyes started down blankly as her hand started to twitch. She trembled almost violently as she peered up, her focus locking on the the diamond-like stars that were slowly fading into the sky behind the clouds. The temperature only seemed to be dropping... That was obvious, even to the naive, childish seeming girl, but she stood and let her eyes wander. She looked so out of place lost, like a child who was separated from her parents because of a crowd. ...Why?
Why...? Why, why?!
The question spiraled though her head and she winced at a flash of pain. There was no answer to her inner pleads of questions. She knew nothing. Nothing of who she was or where she came from... All she seemed to remember was opening her eyes and seeing blood. She heard laughters inside her head... Whether she was going insane or if those were no more than vague, painful memories... she wasn't sure. But either way, they were taunting... discouraging.
The aches in her head didn't cease, and, finding her vision becoming blurry, water streaming down her face she bounded for wards, frantic, not knowing what to do. Her strides were unsteady, unbalanced, and before to long she sunk to her knees, shielding her face, sobbing out of nothing but panic and fear. "Nyu!" she babbled helplessly, as if speaking gibberish. "Nyu! Nyu!" Her blood red eyes peeked out from behind her hands and messy, uneven red-pink hair.
Her breaths, her taken in by gasps, slowed as she lowered her hands down her hold her arms, the blood from her right hand smearing down her cheek, neck, shoulder... She was a mess, nothing less of a terrible, pathetic mess to see. And who would want to help such a strange, ominous, amnesia-struck girl? They would have to be either crazy or too soft. But she was hoping that someone would find her... anyone.

 Jessie May-Bell gripped the reins in her hands as the rain fell on both horse and rider. Moonlight, her horse, had been lacking exercise so she decided to ride her out in this weather of all things. Jessie sat back in her saddle, letting her horse go back into a walk. It was cold and her long hair lashed around, hitting her face but the storm was amazing with lightning brightening the sky for just a second you couldn't catch it on camera. Moonlight pricked her ears and then started to gallop without her mistress' permission. Jessie almost fell off the saddle but instead she stood up and leaned closer to her horses neck. The ground was wet and very bad conditions to gallop in but her horse stayed strong and finally listened to her owners commands. She slowly stopped and then Jessie saw a girl "hello, what is the matter?" she said and dismounted her horse but kept the reins in her hand. She strode over to the girl. "Its ok, I won't hurt you" she said and then took off her coat and handed it to the young girl.
She let her horse graze at the moist grass and then looked at the girl properly. She seemed rather scary but Jessie didn't care as she would always help someone if they were in pain, mentally or physically. Blood was down her face and she saw that it came from her wrist. Luckily she always came prepared as she always bought things on a ride incase she had a fall. "Your wrist...does it hurt?" she said looking into the eyes of the girl who was around her own age. |

Lucy/Nyu[/b][/size][/i] If you know what's good for you, you won't trust what might look innocent.[/color] Hoof beats. Off in the distance a soft patting sound on the ground came closer. The girl stayed frozen, and even her shivering stopped. Her silent tears refused to heed, and her innocent pupils stared out. A beautiful mare accompanied by a blond-haired girl neared. The girl stared in wonder... Who were they? She didn't know what to make of them. Friends or foes? Uncertain, she kept quiet, cringing and lowering her head as if she didn't want to be noticed--when really she almost did--but there was no hiding her unusual blood red hair and eyes... and the blood on her wrist.
The mare was galloping, perhaps stunned by the weather. The blond riding her was leaned in closed, her hair flailing behind her. As they came closer and closer, the girl pulled herself closer and closer to the ground... until she heard the hoof beats stop. "Hello, what is the matter?" a kind voice called. The girl's eyes widened but she stayed frozen, not daring to look up. Perhaps she thought that if she didn't move she would assume she was dead and leave. But the sound of a soft patting on the ground finally forced her eyes up and she saw the girl off the horse, now coming closer; her eyes shrunk with fear, but the girl's voice soothed her... "It's okay, I won't hurt you."
The girl blinked and tilted her head to one side, almost like a child, as the kind girl passed over her coat. She stared at it blankly for a moment before carefully taking it and putting it on, clinging to it now like her life depended on it. Her crimson eyes lingered on the mare as she lowered her head and nipped at the grass. But before too long, she looked back at the girl, shivering. "Your wrist... does it hurt?" She stared into the strangers eyes, trying to make sense of the words.
Hurt. Is seemed framiliar... Her eyes shifted down to her oozing wrist. It wasn't bleeding so bad now... but it still looked terrible. Slowly, her eyes met the girls again and she opened her mouth, as if trying to speak, but nothing came out... "Nyu...?" She said, blinking. She didn't know what to tell her, or how to tell her anything, really. Her eyes grew pleading as she gripped onto the coat, biting her lip. "Nyu..."

Jessie heard the words and wondered if the girl had a problem with speech. She took the coat and put it around the girls freezing shoulders "Nyu? No, I am Jessie May-Bell" she said and then had a great thought. "Come, to my ranch where you can warm up" she said putting a foot in Moonlight's strirrup. She immediatly wanted to help her, take her to the ranch and warm the frail girl up. "What is your name?" she said lifting herself up and swinging her leg over her horse. She put her hand down and one foot out of a stirrup. She would put the girl up on her horse and take her to the ranch, get some towels and dry clothes. She would obviously let the girl stay the night and if she wanted, work there. In caring hands this girl could get better and she could be able to act her real age. She couldn't wait until winter, christmas and she would certainly spend it with family...well her brother.
She and her brother had such a great friendship, they never fight and are some of the most alike siblings ever. Some people think they are twins but with him being older that isn't possible. She patted her horses neck and then sat on the end of her horse with the reins still in her hand. "Come up on the saddle now, lets go into the warmth. |

Lucy/Nyu[/b][/size][/i] If you know what's good for you, you won't trust what might look innocent.[/color] The stranger, as expected, seemed rather confused with her. The pink-red haired girl stared up at her with eyes begging for understanding, but she only got question in return. "Nyu? No, I am Jessie May-Bell," she said kindly and the girl looked down with a slight fuse of frustration. She was so confused still, so lost... She wanted to be able to tell Jessie something, but could hardly understand the words coming out of her mouth. She, for the moment, was convinced that this was nothing but a dream... A terrible dream.
"Come, to my ranch where you can warm up," Jessie's kind voice said suddenly, and the girl's red eyes quickly shifted up, watching her start to climb up onto her mare. She wasn't sure what Jessie had asked, but she slowly stood up, shivering with her shoulders tense. "What is your name?" Jessie pulled herself onto the mare and put her other foot in the stirrup while the girl stared up at her blankly. Questions, questions... She wished she knew how to respond... "Nyu?" she responded after a moment, almost as if to question her. She didn't know what her name was, as pathetic as that was.
Almost hesitantly, the girl took a step closer to Jessie and the mare, almost assuming that she was going to leave. And frankly, she didn't want her to. Even in the freezing weather, in this state of confusion, being with a stranger was much better than being alone, nearly going mad with her terrified thoughts and ponders. She watched with her head tilted as Jessie patted the mare's neck and sat on her lower back. "Come up on the saddle now, lets go into the warmth." She wasn't sure if she understood the words coming out of the girl's mouth, but it sounded like she wanted her to come with...
Hesitantly, she walked up to the horse, and with a little bit of struggling, pulled herself on like she had seen Jessie do. She sat on the horse calmly, shifting a little from side to side and almost holding her breath... Honestly, it was a little frightening for her to be so far off of the ground, but she did her best to stay calm and peeked back to Jessie, pulling her ling, messy bangs from her face. "Nyu?" she questioned quietly as she started to grip to the mare's mane. [/blockquote][/font]
