Alicia stood up slowly and studied her surroundings. She couldnt see any buildings or people. She yelled for someone, but no one answered. Panic began to set in as she turned around, planning on going back the way she came. She gasped as she realized that she didnt even know which way she had come from! She looked up, deciding to climb a tree to see if she could get a grip on which way she should go. Her gaze traveled along the length of the tree. She stopped when she , finally, found the first branch. "So far up..Why is it I never noticed this place before? No one mentioned it.." She turned around and found a trunk to sit down on. She folded her legs indian style and closed her eyes. She had never sent a duplicate more than a few feet away from her , so for this she needed concentration. She thought about how quiet it was. 'Not even a bird chirping...Sounds eerily like the danger room..' She thought to herself absentmindedly. She shook her head, for that brought up thoughts of her and Vanden. She stopped the tears before they could start. She calmed herself, slowed her breathing. She had had lessons on meditation, and she used those now, when she needed them most. She struggled as she sent a duplicate to the tops of the trees. She looked up and found her duplicate only halfway up. "Damn.." She said as she thought to the duplicate. "Climb the best you can. I am going to try again." She screwed up her face in thought as she heard a sound coming from right behind her. "Ahh!!" She yelled as she quickly jumped up and confronted her enemy. A squirrel that clutched its food to its chest and ran. "Geez I need to find a way out of this place.." She said to herself. She sat back down and tried to send a duplicate again..
