True terror gripped her heart, making her sick to her stomach. She was shaking as she made her way through the zig-zagging streets, with their confusing names. Her clothes were ripped, and she was holding up the remnants of her shirt with one hand, trying to cover herself. Her other hand remained against the wall, bracing herself as she walked.
Blood dribbled from a shallow wound on her head, and her eyes - a stunning, almost forest green - were wide and darting back and forth. Taking a deep breath, she took another step, stumbled, and hit the ground hard. Hissing in, she doubled over herself, letting out a noise of something between rage and agony.

Drake would be out walking still trying, and failing, to process the things that had been revealed to him recently. When suddenly there came a crash from the alley beside him, like someone knocking over a metal trash ben or something. He stopped and looked into the alley.
"Hello?"
He asked stepping to the alley, hoping beyond hope that it was some dumbass trying to rob him. He wanted a fight.

Her head jerked up, and something flashed in her eyes. The edges of her soul were the same kaleidoscope, the same bright intensity, that Pippin was known for... but the closer to the center he got, the more Drake would see somebody else entirely.
She bared her teeth as she shoved herself back, trying to get into a better position.
"Who's there?"
There was no doubt that the voice was female, nor that she was terrified, but she seemed to be trying to muster together the courage to defend herself, if need be.

Drake would see them. Pippin. But they didn't look good at all.
"Whoa, hey. You ok Pip? Its me Drake."
He would say as he took off his jacket offering it to her.

She narrowed her eyes. Her breathing was shaky and uneven, but she didn't reach out for the jacket. Instead, she shifted her weight slightly, as if preparing to run away.
"Who are you?" She demanded, breathlessly.

This made Drake stop and once again look into her soul just to be su- wait... something was... different this time.
"Pippin? It's me, Drake. Do... you not remember me?"

"Who the hell is Pippin?" The girl demanded, crab-walking a few steps away from the stranger. Her eyes, a deep green, remained narrowed as she looked at him.
Her soul was an odd, olive green color, lined with the brilliant color Drake would recognize. It was troubled and seemed to be rolling with confusion, shock, but was significantly more solid than what he knew.

"Huh... I... thought you were... I'm sorry..."
This was... not Pippin... but, it was? This was going to be interesting to figure out...
"Anyways, my name is Drake Normans. Are you ok?"

She continued to stare at him for a long moment, as if trying to place him, trying to remember him. Suddenly, she reached up, grabbing at one side of her head as she hissed in a breath.
Drake Normans... That name was so familiar, but she just... couldn't remember.
"I'm fine," she said through gritted teeth.

"You don't look fine."
He would say tossing her the jacket and backing up. He would fold his arms and look at her.
"What happened to you? Did someone do this to you? Tell me who and I'll fuck them up."

The jacket landed half on her, and after a moment of pride filled hesitation, she finally grabbed it and wrapped herself up in it.
"I... don't remember..." She murmured softly, slipping both arms through the sleeves and tightening the jacket around herself.

"I don't... remember anything." The girl wrapped up into herself at that, both hands going up to the sides of her head.

Drake would try to see if there was any indication where she had come from before he found her.
"Then... let's at least try to get you to a doctor or something..."

"No!"
Her head jerked up as soon as he said the word "doctor," and there was a wildness in her gaze. She fiercely shook her head from side to side.
"No doctors!"

"Yeah... okay... whats wrong with Doctors?"

The girl was shaking violently, images rushing through her mind. Men, in the big, oversized lab coats... Needles, scalpels, different tools... She opened her mouth, as if to scream, but no sound would come out. Eventually, she managed to whimper, curling further into herself and staring, wide eyed, at the ground.

Drake just waited as the girl seemed to be tormented by her own mind. He sighed. How the hell was he supposed to handle this...
"Uhm... hey... it's... going to be ok..."
Lame.

She continued to stare at the ground, hard, as she struggled with herself. When she finally spoke, it was strained, as if somebody had ahold of her throat.
"N-no... doctors..."

"Riiiiiight... gotcha."
He sighed and knelt down to be more at level with the girl.
"Well, is there anything I CAN do to help?"
