The princess was startled awake by the hand that covered her mouth. Her body reacting out of fright. But with the whispered words in her ear, the girl calmed, her eyes closing weakly.<br/><br/>Crystal listened carefully and as soon as his hand moved, she tried her best to follow after him. Although the lack of food had kept her weak, the princess did her best to follow behind the stranger who had just freed her.<br/><br/>About half way to the tree line, the princess fell to her stomach with a muffled grunt, her eyes closing as the last of her strength dissipated from her body. The last thing she saw was the sight of her rescuer, looking back at her, before everything went dark.<br/><br/>She lay there, unmoving, unconscious, unable to do anything, go any further. One hand was held out towards the stranger, the other by her side and at a strange angle.
