Karma had to keep looking down every now and then just so she wouldn't fall on her face, not only was the woods tricky but the woman she was following was. She knew that the feral women was a bit hostile but she had no idea that she would react in such a way. Perhaps she should of been paying a little bit more attention in profiling class.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Shard wrote:</cite><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 85%; line-height: 116%;">â€œListen, whelp. You should not have tried to follow me. I do not want nor need your help. This is my world, not yours. Your place is with the others and not with me. If you follow me, I will kill you without hesitation, for your ignorance holds no salvation for you in my eyes. You arenâ€™t ready for whatâ€™s coming this way; you need each other,â€ she growls as she points back towards where Jared stands. â€œYou do not need me and I have no use for you.â€ Her hand slips to her satchel skillfully. â€œI wish I could say I am sorry for thisâ€¦but I am not.â€ The lavender dust clouds the air outward. Its intoxicating scent fills Karmaâ€™s nostrils bringing on a wave of dizziness with strength enough to bring her to her knees. â€œIt is necessary.â€ Poison.<br/><br/>â€œNorth, and stay with the other outsiders if you donâ€™t want to be executed like an old bloodhound,â€ she said quietly.</span></span></div></blockquote><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"What does she mean her world...are we on a completely different world..what happened to earth. Well I guess that explains the two suns.... She's completely nuts...why would she kill me for just following her." </span>She was about to ask what she was not going to be sorry about when a cloud full of purple dust flew into her face. She couldn't see any thing in front of her and the only thing she smelt was a heavy lavender scent, the smell of fresh pines and clear non exhaust filled air was gone. The fine powder filled her lungs and she began to cough erratically. Her throat and nose began to burn and dizziness washed over her like a tidal wave, she was unable to hold herself up anymore as her knees buckled.<br/><br/>Karma barley had time to put her hands out in front of her to catch herself from hitting a thick branch,<span style="font-style: italic">"That bitch!"</span>she thought to herself unable to even speak as another fit of coughing raked through her. The dust soon began to dissipate and the feral woman was gone, they only thing she saw was green..lots and lost of green. She couldn't even see the rest of the group from where she knelt. She knew she had to get to them but how, every time she moved a new wave of dizziness crashed down on her.<br/><br/>All of a sudden she felt a presence next to her and she thought it was one of the people that were coming after them. She swung an arm but ended up hitting a branch. She tried to yell out a cry of pain, but it came out in gurgles. Someone began to coo to her telling her to take it easy.<span style="font-style: italic">"Was that the man who lost all his clothes?"</span>She asked herself. Soon she felt him helping her stand up, her arm draping over his shoulders and his arm about her waist. She almost wanted to blush just from the shear contact. It had been awhile since she let a man be that close to her, let alone touch her.<br/><br/>Just as suddenly he appeared so did the others, she could hear their voices as well as Jared addressing them, he may not of used their real names but he referred to them by something, a nickname of sorts. Another spur of coughing erupted from her chest and she almost doubled over if it weren't for Jared. After her fit was done she began to smell the clean crisp air again and she knew the poison would soon be wearing off. She would be glad for that, she hated being a burden on people and she knew Jared had injuries of his own.<br/><br/>"You sure...you..can support..me?" Karma managed to say while trying to stand on her own, with no success.
