While Gene is traveling on the main roads she would hear a sound just off the road down the path. If she stopped to listen it would sound like a woman crying...

Gene froze. She knew that sound all too well, had been exposed to it all too much in her lifetime.
"Who's there?" asked the girl, faking confidence. Whoever it is could be dangerous, it could be a trick. She moved towards the direction of where the cry came from.
"Who's there?" asked Gene again, tiptoeing towards the direction more. "Are... Are you okay? Can I help you?"

"P-please! Hel-help me."
A woman would call out voice trembling.

"Where are you? Hello? ma'am?" Called Gene.
Panic was setting in, and her slow steps became a jog, and evolved into a run towards the woman's voice.
"Ma'am where are you? How can I help you?"
Trees were flying by,
then there was a bush,
then more trees identical to the last. As if, in this desperate moment, the world was frozen in one loop of the same trees, the same bush, the same flowers over and over again.
Will I ever find her?

No matter how much Gene ran the woman didn't sound like she was getting closer! The woman still sounded pretty far off in the woods!
"Please! Someone! My baby! My poor poor baby!"
The woman wailed.

"Ma'am! Ma'am please let me know where you are so I can help you! Ma'am please!" Gene was screaming.
Her lungs were screaming
Her legs were aching
Small branches reaching out from trees passing by were hitting her face, her arms, her stomach, her legs, leaving a stinging sensation throughout her body. She had to find the woman.
Finally, she saw some color through the trees. She didn't know what it was, she couldn't even recognize what color it was through the tears welling up in her eyes, but it was something that wasn't trees, a bush or a flower.

When Gene made it through the bushes she would see what looked like a woman laying in a heap on the ground. As though she was curled up. There were sniffling noises.

Gene ran up to the woman and dove onto her knees next to the woman.
"Ma'am? Ma'am are you okay? Are you hurt? What's going on?" Gene's voice was shaking during every word

The woman continued to whimper and shake unresponsive to Gene.

Truth be told, Gene was afraid to touch the woman. She didn't know what was wrong with the woman, but she was clearly troubled. Gene wish she knew what was wrong. Is the hallucinating? Was she contagious?
Carefully, Gene picked up a twig, around a foot long. Carefully, she nudged the woman with the twig, dropping it as soon as it made contact.

The woman jerked awake and looked around confused and scared, as of she didn't know where she was... then she saw Gene! The woman screamed and leapt away from Gene!
"G-get back! I have nothing for you, you fiend, ju-just leave me be!"

Jumping back, Gene was terrified. This lady MUST be crazy.
"Ma'am I mean you no harm! Please understand, I mean you no harm. I heard you screaming and I feared for your safety. I ran over to find you and I wish to help. Please, are you well? I don't want anything, just to help is all."

Jumping to the side, Gene studies the woman running away. "She's mental.." she mumbled.
After the woman's reaction, Gene decided to silently follow the woman and see where she went, see if there were any clues as to what was going on.
I can't do this for long but.. I'll just look a bit. Then I'll continue on my journey to the Academy.
With dedication and fear, Gene's silent footsteps followed the woman's back into the cover of the trees. It was difficult to keep up and be quiet, and sometimes she lost the woman. But then the strangest thing would always happen. It was as if... the trees were guiding her, speaking to her. Leading her to where the woman was. Sure Gene could stop and question it, but that would be a waste of very precious time. Thanking the trees, Gene focused on her target and continued on.
