Thread: Fallen Angel (Wolvenrogue and Torridsoul)

It wasn't the first time that Tori had ever gone camping or hiking, but she wouldn't have called herself a pro by any means. She was comfortable in the forest and woods around Eagle Lake had always been her go to spot when she found she needed the peace and tranquility of spending a few nights under the stars. It was however the first time she'd ever come from this direction, that had been her biggest miscalculation. Coming in from an area she wasn't familiar with had left her a little unsure of herself when she started on her way towards the lake. Sure she had her compass telling her that she was headed in the right direction to reach the lake, but she had no idea of the terrain in this direction. She had her digital camera slung around her neck, and was snapping shots here and there. The camera was the only piece of technology she brought with her on these trips, because she wanted to bring a little of the nature back with her and she'd discovered that she had a little bit of a knack for taking good pictures. This trip she caught a picture of an eagle soaring over head that she was particularly proud of, and that is where the real problem had come in. Tori had been walking with her head down examining the pictures of the eagle that she'd snapped, she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings or where she was walking. She stepped right on the thick root of a tree, and her balance escaped her, she tumbled backwards and landed on her bottom. If that hadn't been bad enough she landed on a mossy patch that sent her sliding down a steep drop. By the time she reached the bottom, she'd been smacked in the face by tree branches, her arms and legs were scratched up, her pants were torn and she couldn't tell the state of her hiking pack because it was still uncomfortably between herself and the ground. She pushed herself up a little propping herself up on her battered palms to check out her surroundings, a surge a panic shot through her when she realized she was near the edge of a cliff, and below that cliff was nothing but the open water of Eagle Lake she slapped her palms against the ground, not caring out the stings of pain that followed No... no... no... this is not good! Idiot... you're always supposed to watch where you're walking... pay attention to your surroundings.... all because of a stupid picture at the thought of the picture her hands went to her digital camera which had remarkably survived the slide down. Even though she knew her preoccupation with camera had been the cause of the fall she'd been relieved that it was unharmed. Tori tried to push herself to her feet, only to realize that her right foot was trapped under fallen tree and a groove in the dirt. She knew that the tree hadn't fallen on her so her foot had to have hit the ground with enough force to shove her foot under the tree. Great... even better she was trapped under a tree on a cliff. She used her other foot to try and budge the fallen tree, and even though the tree wasn't very large it was still heavy, too heavy for her to move. She tried turning her leg to pull it out but it just wasn't working, she had been able pull her pack off of her back to grab her flashlight as night was falling, she flicked it on and then aimed it at her foot, propping it on her leg she grabbed a stick and began to dig around the dirt surrounding her foot. She displaced a lot of the dirt but still it wasn't enough. As a last ditch effort she grabbed the flashlight and flicked it on, then off, then on again over and over again hoping someone would see it and come to her aid. However she wasn't holding out hope, she'd never seen anyone else in the area before. She rested her head against her pack, her strawberry blond hair was pulled into what was now a messy pony tail that was full of leaves and dirt, her bright blue eyes were drifting now. She tried to make her 5'4 frame even smaller by curling towards the log and then she let herself sleep.
