Overlooked Fate ~ Sequel

Chapter 10 ~ Crashed

Marella's P.O.V

Marella's eyes slowly opened but she regretted it the bright light blinded her eyes.

"Ah!" Marella gasped, when her head exploded into horrible pain.

Suddenly, Marella felt something slimy and wet start to lick her face. She looked up to see it was Stowy, happily licking her face.

"Stowy?" Marella exclaimed.

Marella was so confused and it took her a long second for the memories to come back to her.

Oh no...

Marella jerked up, and felt another rush of pain. This time throughout her whole body.

Her vision was blurry and it took a few minutes to clear up. Her head was spinning and it was so hard for her to focus.

Though she had one clear thought: how the heck was she still alive?!

Marella remembered clashing around in the van and by the pain she was feeling now, she knew she was hit hard.

When Marella's head cleared a bit more, she took in her surroundings and realized she was in the middle of a forest.

Huh? How did she end up here?

And shouldn't she be in the van?

Marella tried to get up, her muscles weak and in pain. She took deep breaths and finally managed to pull herself up by using the tree next to her to help.

Marella looked down to see dirt covering her whole outfit and Marella was sure there were twigs and grass in her hair.

And there were pieces of glass stuck across her arm but when Marella tried to pull them out, it caused so much pain and it burned like crazy. Marella decided to leave it all alone and deal with it later.

Stowy was jumping up and down, trying to get Marella's attention.

"What boy?" Marella asked, her voice weak too.

Stowy then sprinted to a spot a few feet from Marella. When she squinted to see what Stowy was trying to show her, she realized it was her backpack.

Marella tried to jog over to it but she nearly collapsed.

This was just wonderful.

"Stowy, can you grab that for me?" Marella asked.

Stowy just sat there with his tongue hanging out.

"Stowy, grab it boy!" Marella tried, pointing to the bag.

Stowy continued to stare at her, not doing anything.

"Stowy! Grab bag!" Marella said louder, pointed to the bag with more emphasis.

Eventually, Stowy seemed to get the idea as he grabbed her bag and dragged it over to where Marella was standing.

"Good boy," Marella whispered, grabbing the bag and sighing in relief when everything was still in it.

"Okay, we need to find the others," Marella said to herself, trying not to think about the worst scenarios.

She looked around and saw a long, thick stick on the ground. Marella slowly moved over to pick it up so she could use it as a walking stick for now.

That should do the trick, she thought as she used to stick to steadily move herself around.

Marella searched the area at a slow pace but it didn't take her long to find the huge RV van flipped upside down and crushed.

Marella gasped when she saw it was on fire.
