She looked up slowly. This wasn't the voice she heard before.
"Hi..." she said cautiously. She was immediately frightened by the girl. Her cold voice sent shivers down the girl's spine.

there was a moment of uneasy suspension between Kassia and the girl. Then, Kassia smiled and said, "come into the shade before you fry," a bit more warmly this time. Sometimes Kassia had trouble controlling her tone. Although she didn't know it, it came from her detachment.

The girl gave Kassia an uneasy look and slowly helped herself up onto her feet. Her head continued to pulse and she grabbed it with her hand. The wound on her leg was throbbing, but it wasn't anything to be concerned about and she could stand on it without pain.
"Who are you?" she said softly, trying not to make the pain worst.

Karina saw the girl stand and it appeared she was hurt on her head. "Jason, I think she's hurt her head. Hey!!" Karina waved, hoping to get her attention. "Come into the shade. We've got fruit and first aid stuff if you need it."

"Come on," said Kassia. "You could use the rest." She turned and walked towards the lean-to, not taking notice of whether the girl followed or not.

The girl followed Kassia. The other woman she heard was the one from earlier. Her voice was more... trustworthy. She reached the shade and immediately sat down on the edge.
"Hi," she said again, smiling slightly.

O'Connell smiled at the newcomer. "Good to see you alive," he said, "what's your name?"

The girl opened her mouth to answer, but nothing came up.
"oh my god..." she said slowly. Her eyes grew wide in fear.
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god," she started freaking out, "I don't know!"

"It's okay," Jason said reassuringly. "It looks like you've taken a bump on the head... you probably just have temporary amnesia." On the inside, he was much less calm. His thoughts on the matter could be summed up in two words: Oh sh**. He was a surgical resident, specializing in physical illness. Amnesia was way out of his league.
He reached into the first-aid kit and took out some supplies -- alcohol, gauze, a bandage for the woman's leg wound -- but didn't approach her with them yet. "My name's Jason," he said, continuing in the same calm, reassuring voice. "I'm a doctor. Can I look at your injuries and make sure you're not too badly hurt?"

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
"Ok..." she took another deep breath and showed Jason her leg, "I think my leg's the only thing that's hurt..."
She pinched the bridge of her nose and tried not to cry. She couldn't remember anything. Who she was, where she came from... Nothing. The only clue as to who she was was the cut off t-shirt she was wearing. It was orange and in black lettering said "Junior Lifeguard"

O'Connell had no experience with Amnesia. Some of his war buddies had displayed symptoms of it, but it had turned out to be PTSD. He glanced at her shirt. "We'll...just call you JL for now...sound good?"

"Fine, whatever..." she looked around at the group, "so... Who are you people?"

Karina raised an eyebrow at O'Connell's mention of a name. " 'JL'? I think LJ sounds better; it flows nicely." She smiled sympathetically at the girl. The same thing happened to her for just a few moments, but she soon got over it.
"Don't worry, it's ok. I had a really short bout of it before Jason here joined us, but now I'm fine. I'm Karina, by the way."

The newly dubbed LJ nodded her head, offering a small smile, "Nice to meet you."

"Same here. Are you hungry at all? We have some fruit I found earlier..." Karina offered LJ the bag of mangoes, bananas, and other tropical fruit.
