"So...I really don't know much about you, Moon. What's your story?" My story? God, I never thought about that... Remembering it made my mind hurt...
"S-sorry...." Rika bit her lip, then continued. "I'll go then you?" I was taken aback with this. I wasn't expecting her to say that, but I slowly nodded, letting her speak. My eyes kept on her the whole time, always scanning her. I wonder if that was a habit now...
"Well, I was captured by the scientists about...Three years ago. I can't remember my family, if I even had any...I stayed there for the three years and was tested and experimented on." I nodded and she continued.
"When you and your group came along and managed to break free, I escaped and followed the groups scent to the boat... and met you..." She blushed, which made me blush in response. Met me? I wonder what she exactly meant by that...
"S-so, what about you, Moon?" She asked and I took a deep breath as I just turned my head back to the outside, remembering it it was just yesterday. I rubbed and scratched my arm in response to remembering.
"My past... I don't think, was as complicated as yours was, Rika. My father hated me, the whole tribe turned against me, thinking I was something... disgusting," I spat but continued.
"My mother and sister cared for me even after I had to prove myself to the tribe and to my father that I was worthy of being in it. I had gotten pretty hurt, and in response, my father didn't care and ripped open my arm. It wasn't pretty but it did heal at some point in time..." I sighed as I scratched the old scar.
"I wondered around for a while, taking care of myself after I left my mom and sister from their traveling to Harmony. I particularly didn't care about if it was Harmony I was going to or just to a simple town that I lived in. Just as long as I lived somewhere."
"I later met up with this group and been with them for some time now, and then there was the part at the dock where I thought I would finally get to go somewhere to where I just found out it was a dud, but I did get to meet you, at least..." I felt myself blush again when I heard some talk about exploring the cave more and people wanting to get to it.
I ignored them as I continued to scratch my arm, the whole scar now visible by any wondering eyes....
