After simply stepping into a small grocery store near her home, the small shop had been bombarded by whom she knew as soldiers for some Corporation that wouldn't leave her alone. That was about all she knew of them. She hadn't cared to learn more, just to run from them. They had chased Elizabeth from place to place, she hadn't been to her real house, her real home, in years. Then again, there was nothing left there in that spot except for ash and dust from the house that had been burned down. They had to chase her out some way, right?<br/><br/>Her coat had been practically ripped off from her back when a man had tried grabbing at her, and at this point her side had been shot but that's about it. She hadn't been expecting it, and couldn't have hoped using anything to stop the bullet. Perhaps it was a good thing she had worn all black. The entire side of her shirt was soaked with her own blood, and it was painful just to breathe at the time, but Elizabeth was determined to escape them again.<br/><br/>She couldn't remember how long she'd been running, but they'd chased her into a near by forest. Slipping down a slope with a small yelp of surprise, she easily scraped her elbow rather badly. Just another wound- which led to more blood. How.. Wonderful. Her legs were sore and she felt as if they were made of rubber at this point, but with all the adrenaline coursing through her veins, she was determined to keep running, and wouldn't be surprised if someone had told her that her hands had been shaking violently, a tremor similar to that through the rest of her body just the same. She'd never been one to handle stressful situations very well. But, when you're forced to, you learn to cope.<br/><br/>She could hear the guns still going off, but they had to stop at some point, right? "Run 'er into the other side!" She heard some man yell. And she hadn't realized what he had meant till she could faintly hear more guns being fired from the direction she was running, but more importantly, see the flashing of lights that she knew could only be more of these damned soldiers.<br/><br/>Slipping down another slope after taking too sharp a turn, she was positive they'd lost sight of her for the time being, since she had just practically rolled through a wall of brush from nearby trees and bushes. When she was looking back she hadn't paid attention, and soon she found herself sliding again. Instantly she noticed it was a dry river bank, but more so importantly she could see another figure across the dry bank. Perhaps, that was what they had been chasing besides her.<br/><br/>But whom she took for a man was just standing there. They'd be there any second! Running forward she grabbed his hand without thinking. She'd never have done such a thing if she was thinking straight, but during these kind of chases she was driven to desperate measures. And, frankly, she wasn't about to have it on her conscious that she'd just left someone to be finished off, or whatever they planned to do, by these soldiers.<br/><br/>Without even speaking she tugged for the man to follow her while she had just as quickly moved to run further down the river bank, just giving him a look as if to say, 'Come on!'
