The first thing she was aware of was that she wasn't comfortable. She was laying on her arm and it was numb because of no circulation. Her head pounded, and it felt like she was pulled, pushed, and dropped down a whirlpool of dull edges. Everything ached and she just wanted it all to be over.
She was aware of the fact that whatever she was laying on was cold, and felt like cobbled stone. She was aware in the distance she heard noise. She was aware that there was a strange acrid cold smell in her nose and around her. Then her eyes opened and she became aware of the fact that her vision was so blurry she had absolutely no bearings on where she was.
"H-help? I-I hit my head. Is someone out there?"
Her words were like a soft whimper because any louder, she thought her voice would split her skull open the rest of the way. She rolled onto her side and pulled out her arm from behind her. The joint at her shoulder creaked as she moved it back to a normal position. She laid back down, with her eyes closed again. The blood returned to her arm quickly and left it pounding like the rest of her. The sharpness of the blood returning made her arm feel really hot and uncomfortable. She flexed and reflexed her fingers to make the stinging sensation go away, but that only helped it.
She let out a small whimper of pain, as the clarity was returning to her, she was aware that there was an open wound on her head, probably staining her fair hair and the stones around her with its ruby color. She lifted a hand to feel the size of the wound, she discovered it was only a small puncture wound. She was glad because that meant no lasting damage, and she also wouldn't bleed to death. It also explained how disoriented she was. She might even have a concusioun.
She tried opening her eyes again, but everything was still blurry--maybe not as blurry as before, but she could make out the tops of buildings, and white dot that meant stars far above her. She didn't try to push herself up to a sitting position because she knew how much pain it would bring her.
"Someone help me please...I'm bleeding."
The girl called for help again as so many questions flowed through her mind. How did she get here? Why? Was anything broken? Why hadn't anyone found her? Was she going to die here? Was anyone coming to help her? Would she be eaten? Kidnapped? Where was Vaan? Why couldn't she remember the last time she saw him? Where was she? Was she in ruins or in a populated place? Were those footsteps? Was someone coming to save her?
Yes? No? Maybe? Not really? Could they? Hopefully...
Penelo felt tears in her eyes. She hated this, there were so manything she didn't know and she was completely at the mercy of the next person or monster or whatever it was that walked by next. She let out a small sob that hurt her chest cavity. Bruised ribs as well?
"Please..."
It was like an exhale and she felt herself slipping back into unconciousness. She tried to open her eyes, but the muscles just wouldn't obey her and her head slid sideways, her cheek rested in a pool of her blood.
From afar maybe she appeared to be dead, she was breathing so shallowly, her arms were splayed out around her and her legs were at odd angles, her head was hanging limp and she was laying in blood after all...

Tifa decided to stop in Traverse Town get some rest before continuing her journey to Destiny Island. It was already dark so she needed to find a place to stay and keep away from the Darkness.
Who knew what could be lurking in the shadows but luckily she came prepared. Glancing around as she walked around the place Tifa heard someone calling for help. She followed her voice and gasped once she saw her.
A young girl lying in a pool of her own blood. "What happened?" She asked rushing towards her. "Never mind that now you need help can you get up" Tifa placed a gentile hand on her shoulder as she looked at the girl. She had to get her out of this place and somewhere safe then she would worry about tending to the girls wounds.

There was a soft wahh heehh hmmm, sounding somewhere above her and she almost laughed because it sounded silly. Someone was just making noise instead of talking, or speaking in words. But wait....something there was confusing her. She was alone before, so how could there be talking? Her confusion only just continued until it was all quiet around her again, but she felt something in the back of her mind, yelling at her to open her eyes, to get up, to look the speaker in the eyes.
OH! I all came back to her now, she must have passed out or something again. Her eyes blinked once before she opened her eyes again. Everything was still tremendously blurry, like before--how long ago was that, a minute, and hour--and she could barely make out the features of a woman crouched above her, her hand on her own shoulder. Penelo let out a groan that was suposed to be her thanks for the woman's help. She tried to focus her eyes on the woman, but everything insisted on swimming around her like it was caught in an undertow.
She opened her mouth to speak a few times before words actually came out.
"I--I think I fell. And hit my head. It hurts so much. I don't think I can sit up on my own.. I'm sorry, so sorry."
She felt hot tears in her eyes again. She should know what happened to her! She should know what happened to her own body! She should know! But the last few hours--or days--were nothing in her mind. There was just nothing there. It was like one nanosecond she was shopping for food with Vaan and the next she woke up in a pool of her own blood. Logically, that wasn't possible. Something must have happened, but her brain was too wrecked for her to remember.
She tried to focus on the girl's face again, she could tell she had dark hair and dark eyes, and she was wearing dark clothes too, but the rest of her features just look like a blur of peach colored skin. She lifted one of her hands up to the woman, while her other hand moved to prop herself up with. The effort sent black stars to the corners of her vision and she wished they would go away.

Tifa glanced around every few second as if expecting something to happen or something to attack. This wasn't good she couldn't fight not while worrying about someone. This place wasn't safe and she felt as if they were being watched. This much she was certain.
"Hey don't blame yourself. Accidents happen" She said with a gentile tone as she looked at the young girl and a small smile appeared on her lips. "Doesn't matter what happened we just need to get away from her. I don't think this place is safe."
Tifa saw her try get up but stopped she must have suffered alot who knew how long she has been there pleading for someone's help. "You must have been through so much to end up hurt like this. Come on let me help you you can lean on me. I think I saw an inn not far for here. I can call someone to help you once we get there do you think you can hang on till then"

Ash walked through traverse town. He was born here so he figured he may as well visit it. Everything was too quiet and dark. He stopped when he heard talking. He walked over and saw the two girls. "Hey." He said and walked up to them. "Is she ok?" He said when he saw blood. "I can help if you need me to." He said with a smile.

Lenne looked around, and she need to make sue that Penelo is okay. "I think I can help." Lenne said. Lenne saw that she could help her. Lenne summoned Valefor. "Valefor cure if you please on the one one ground not Tifa." Lenne said. Valefor nodded. She just looked at her. and she waited for Valefor to do this. "Valefor you sure you did it all thank you so very much." Lenne said. Lenne looked at her. "How you feeling now you should be okay Valefor used cure on you." Lenne said.

There were a lot of voices around her suddenly, and then even sooner, she felt her body lift up so it was only her feet on the ground. She tried to send the proper signals to her feet, to have her stand, but they disobeyed her and she just hung between whoever held her. She felt her head lull to the side, and rest against one of the people who was holding her up, ”Th-thanks.” It was a breathless thanks, sent out to whoever was in earshot and had taken her off of the cold ground. She spoke again to the person her head was resting on, ”Wh-what pl-plan—where-ere am-m I?” She was sure that if she could open her eyes, black spots would fill all she could see, but suddenly...
she was fine.
She had never felt a healing spell like it. At one moment, she felt as if she was almost already dead, and in that same breath, she was supporting her own weight, and opening her eyes. She looked at her surroundings first and foremost. They were in the middle of an opening, buildings surrounded them on all sides and there were three other people, besides her; two females (both older than her by a few years), and a male (she wasn't sure how hold he was by looking at him). She gently pulled her arms out of theirs and took two generous steps away from them. She looked them both in the eyes with her wide.
“Thank you all so much...I cannot thank you enough. I am in all of your depts... anything—anything you need me to do, just tell me.” She bowed before them for a moment before she looked back up at them with her kind smile on her face. She looked down, where she was sure she had been lying and saw how much blood she had lost. Her face changed to something of shock while she lifted her hand to feel the back of her head. She vaguely remembered doing that once before, but she only felt wet hair, there was no soreness, there was no open wound, and there was no pain. She was too happy for words at the moment.
She dropped her hand that had felt the back of her head and clasped her hands in front of her while she waited for her three saviors to speak.

"No she is wounded badly" Tifa explained to the one who just came. She helped the girl up and supported her. "We need to find someone who can treat these wounds can you help me?" Tifa was trying her best to save a life here.
It wasn't long till she heard another voice and this time she knew its owner. "Lenne" She smiled glad to see her. "Can you help us she is hurt badly do you know any healing spells?" She sighed in relief once Lenne said she did and helped the girl down and waited.
"It worked thats a relief" She said smiling now as she glanced at the girl. "You don't need to thank us I am just glad I could help and I am sure the other two feel the same way." She turned to look at them both before back at the girl. "I am Tifa Lockhart"

"I am Lenne, and no thanks needed just knowing you okay its fine by me, well we could be friends if you wanted to do something that's not that hard it's very simple." Lenne said. Lenne looked at her. She just can't believe that she would do. "I can have Valefor fully heal her if it's possible he could do that." Lenne said.

She was glad they were all nice people that were all kind enough to completely drop what they were doing to help her, and the one girl even summoned a...creature... and healed her completely. It was unheard of to Penelo--not the summoning creatures part, Penelo had her own Esper she had gotten on her trips with Vaan and the rest, yet she didn't know that they could be used for healing like that. It was strange, and stranger still that none of them wanted help from her. They must not have the same customs, but it was still the same for Penelo. She was only alive because they helped her, and she wanted to repay them in anyway.
"My name is Penelo. Again, thank you all..." Her eyes jumped between the three people, the two females; Tifa and Lenne, and the make; Ash. They all seemed like very nice people. "Where am I? I don't remember anything about how I got here...only falling..." She looked up to the sky, but all she did see was the sky. How far had she fallen? How long had she been lying there? Where was Vaan? Was he here? Was she even still in Ivalice anymore? It certianly didn't look like it anymore.
