[Day 14, early morning]
Turi tossed and turned as she tried to make sense of the nightmares and dreams : Running thru the forest..Lynx, what..I can't!.water everywhere..I have to run.noooo!..Bright colors..Flowers biting me!.spots, many spots..Its sooo hot!.pain.Thirsty..happy party..Food, Lynx.very tired.who are you?..who am I?.red sky.dark cave, no exit.drowning..panic!..so very very alone..LYNX!!!
Turi sat up in a strange bed. The sheets wear soaked with her sweat, but apparently her fever had broke. He first thought was, what is this?, as she looked at the strange white cloth sheets. Her normal bed was made of animal skins and furs.
Then she noticed the rest of the room. She was not in her cave. In fact she was in the med center of Daere warren. Turi didn't realize this of course, but she did get a vivid flashback.

"Mommy! Something bit me!" The little 11yr old Turi yelled as she ran into the Osran med center.
Her mother worked for the doctors in the med center. Mostly cleaning up and running errands for the docs. She looked up only briefly as Turi ran in. "Shh Turi.." She said.
"Nonsense, Turi is always welcome here." The head Doctor said with a sneer, looking at the child very intently. "Turi go in that room over there, I'll be in in a moment."
Turi smiled and ran into the room. She liked the doc, he had always given her pieces of candy when she visited the med center. And the past few months, he had been paying special attention to her, even taking his lunch near the field where she gathered flowers for her mother to put around the medical center.
A few moments later the doc came in, strangely he said nothing, and locked the door behind him. He didn't say a word as he turned to look at Turi, She thought he was waiting for her to speak so she started to explain what happened, "I was getting flowers like I always do, and there was this sharp pain in my leg, I saw the snake-"
She was cut off as he stepped forward and grabbed the neckline of her tunic. In one violent jerk, he had ripped it right down the front. She tried to struggle and yelled for help, and got slapped for it, hard.
Before long her clothing was in tatters, and the doc pushed her to the floor.
*****
It had been a long while since she had remembered anything from her childhood. And this was not what she needed.
The memory brought up fears and made her wary of her surroundings. She threw off the sheets and blankets and started to slowly move out of the strange area, ready to bolt at the first sign of danger. Her hide wrap had been taken, and this just intensified her fear and feelings that she needed to get out.

*Turi! Your awake!*
~Out, Now.~
Turi ran down the cave pathway as her bare feet slapped against the cold floor. Turning a bend she moved into a crouch, Two people were talking as she startled their conversation. Now what?
Gentle fingers probed her mind, and long unused memories of talking came to light, "Out, how?" She said aloud, barely pronouncing them right before falling back on the animal grunts, purrs, and body motion she was more used to using.

Tag anyone who wants to play.(make it quick, Lynx will be looking to try and help Turi out now, and will show up soon, and I dont think she will be looking to talk...*grin*)
