Good thing he's armed

It all happened so fast. Maybe that's just the way everything in Emma's life was supposed to be. Not that she minded. Sure, it was jarring to go from seeing the stranger to seeing the knife to falling to the ground with an unceremonious thunk. But hey, being on the ground was better than being in the air, right?

She scrambled to her feet, eyes darting around, trying to locate her own blade again.

Still gone.

Her eyes darted then to the stranger, taking a step back, holding her arms out to steady herself for a fight.

Ben smirked, glad that the plant knew better. He took a step out of range anyway, tucking the knife back into his belt before looking over at the girl.

"You alright?" He watched her carefully, holding his hands up to show he wasn't going to hurt her.

[tough_sweet_sixteen]

Not a fight? That was a little confusing. But then again, Emma's experience with men had been somewhat limited. There were the boys they were trained against. And of course, her rite of passage.

Failed right of passage, she reminded herself bitterly.

Or was it?

"Where are we?" she asked.

[mini_dean]

"It's called The Wyld. A place between dimensions, I think. Come on, I'll take you to the meadow. There's a lot of people there and maybe you'll know a face or two?"

[tough_sweet_sixteen]

Like hell she's going off with some strange man.

Again, Emma's eyes take in her surroundings, searching for something, anything that she could use as a weapon.

And her eyes fall on a sharp rock.

What should she do now? Keep him talking. That's what the elders would say. Keep the man distracted. Off his guard. Unaware.

"A place between dimensions? What does that mean?"

[mini_dean]

"It's kinda hard to explain." He is oblivious to her looking for a weapon. Why would she attack the person who just saved her and put away his weapon, right?

"Basically, you have the world you come from. There's a world I'm from. Lots of other worlds too. and this place kinda just hovers somewhere between all the world. At least that's what we think."

[tough_sweet_sixteen]

"You're making that up." But whether she believed that or just wanted to believe it, she wasn't entirely sure.

Maybe a little bit of both.

Not that it mattered. Slowly, she started to inch herself closer to the sharp rock.

[mini_dean]

"No, not really. Come to the meadow and you'll see what I mean." He motioned for her to follow him.
