Larea almost always dreamed; as such, it was rare for her to have no recollection of them when she awoke, as they had become her escape from reality when nothing else wanted to go right. After having her energy completely drained and falling unconscious, she had slumbered so calmly, so uninterrupted, that all she could remember of it as she slowly woke up was.. well, nothing. It was as if she had fallen asleep and almost instantaneously woken up again, significantly drowsier and unaware of the time that had passed.<br/><br/>She stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering a bit before she slowly opened them. Despite the fact that she was currently staring at the ground, the brightness of it still shocked her, in contrast to the darkness her eyes had become accustomed to, and she quickly rose a hand to cover them from the intruding light. She could hear voices just off to her side, though in her still-tired state, she couldn't pinpoint exactly who they belonged to. It was a few moments before she was conscious enough to realize she was being carried by someone. Her mind immediately shot back to the previous night, and the man who had accosted them, and a dreadful feeling overcame her as she imagined him returning while their party was weakened, killing everyone else, and taking her away.<br/><br/>She squirmed around in her captivity, desperately trying to wrestle herself free. This proved to be much more effective than she imagined it would be, and before long she had broken loose and was currently falling to the ground, behind the man who had previously been carrying her. She would have squealed in a mixture of surprise and pain as her face made contact with the dirt road, had she been able, but instead she simply slumped to the ground, shutting her eyes and rubbing her nose, which had taken the brunt of the impact.<br/><br/>A few moments later, she realized that she would still be in danger if these people had malicious intent, and she shot to her knees, opening her eyes and staring at them. Once again, the brightness caught her by surprise and she struggled to keep her eyes open against the light. Despite the shading that the nearby trees and greenery provided, it was still stunningly bright compared to the stagnant sleep she had previously experienced. Her vision was too blurry to be able to see properly, but she still hadn't regained her full consciousness and body strength, so being unable to see who her captors were, and unable to get up and run, she settled for clumsily scooting away backwards, her eyes fixed on them the entire time as she tried to adjust to being awake once more.
