So Jia Yi wasn't the one who killed her after all?
'So she did pull some strings..." YuYu thought as the shadow below her grew larger.
Suddenly, a large amount of Blood erupted from YuYu's mouth. Unfazed, YuYu continued to control her tier 3 ability awhile coughing copious amounts of blood out.
'Shit, I have to get out of here now...' YuYu thought glaring at Jia Yi as blood dribbled down her chin.
Jia Yi giggled harshly after seeing YuYu coughing dangerous amounts of blood out.
"You're way to weak! You can't even use a tier 3 ability!" Jia Yi continued to laugh as she ridiculed YuYu with her eyes. Crossing her arms over her chest, Jia Yi let out a Blood Thirsty smile.
"Let's end this now!" Jia Yi yelled raising her arms in the air as she muttered incoherent words.
Almost immediately, withered Roots sprung up from the ground piercing through the damaged bones that lay ontop.
'Now!' YuYu thought as she let her shadow ability engulf the whole field of broken bones. Pain shot up from within her as her dark shadow grew larger and into the depths of the winter forest.
YuYu's Shadow slowly turned Jia Yi's summoned Roots black as they simultaneously disappeared.
"What are yo-!" Jia Yi screamed, startled at YuYu's suprise attack.
YuYu's figure slowly disappeared as her shadow began to engulf her from the bottom up.
"She's trying to get away! Stop her!" Jia Yi yelled at her two guards as she pointed at YuYu.
The two guards behind Jia Yi immediately blocked her from YuYu's sight before muttering abilities of their own. Before they could finish their words though, YuYu's body and ability were no where to be seen on the bloodied winter field.
"That Bitch!" Jia Yi shrieked seeing that YuYu had successfully escaped.
....
"Fuck..." YuYu groaned as she leaned her bloodied body onto a nearby tree.
'I didn't think the side effects would hurt so much!' YuYu thought as her shadow grew back to it's normal size.
As her soul now resided in a powerful body, YuYu couldn't handle the power of a tier 3 ability since she had no cultivation whatsoever. She wouldn't be able to use anymore of the previous YuYu's abilities as they were all high tier abilities and would cause fatal damage to the present YuYu's soul and body.
YuYu clutched her stomach feeling immense pressure from within. Uncontrollable tears formed from her tired eyes as they slowly slid down her cheeks to under her chin. Her tears turned into a dark shade of red as they cleaned the fresh blood away from YuYu's pale face.
YuYu's body began to shiver more than it was before, as she was now in a deeper part of the Winter forest.
YuYu felt the urge to just lay down on the bloodied snow beneath her and let her emotions take over. Especially, when she thought of how she would probably never see her Elder Sister again. But YuYu was strong, her Elder Sister had raised her to be a Brave Woman. She wouldn't let her Sister down even in this situation.
"Yu Na..." YuYu whispered her Sisters name as she slowly slid down the cold tree she was leaning on, leaving a trail of blood behind.
Gasping heavily from the Cold air surrounding her, YuYu had trouble breathing. She tightly closed her eyes as she tried to distract herself from the pain she was feeling all over her body.
'Why...I just wanted to be happy...for once..' YuYu let out a sob as she remembered the magnificent stage she stood on not so long ago. YuYu unconsciously wrapped her arms around herself protectively as her body began to shiver more harshly.
Biting her lip hard, YuYu attempted to stop herself from crying anymore. Blood stained her clattering teeth as her teeth dug deeper into her stained lips.
More than ever before, YuYu found herself wanting to see her deceased parents. She found herself not only craving her Sisters affection but the warmth of her Mother and Fathers arms. She hadn't thought of wanting to see them since the year they passed away.
As minutes passed, YuYu continued to lay on the ground shivering, hugging her body closer. Her body slowly numbed the pain she was feeling and fatigue started to build up in her instead.
'I refuse to Die. Not like this. Not again.' YuYu thought as Yu Na's prideful face appeared in her mind.
Struggling, YuYu got up onto her feet, her hands reaching for the tree she laid on for support. Blood continued to pour out of YuYu's wounds and drip onto the snow beneath her as she stood still.
Taking in deep breaths from the cold air that surrounded her, YuYu tried her best to compose herself.
'I need to survive. No, I want to survive!' YuYu thought as she wrapped her arms around herself at an attempt to warm her body. Her clothes were torn and drenched with blood leaving YuYu's skin exposed and very sensitive to the chilly air.
'To survive, I need to get out of this Damn Forest first!' YuYu thought as she glanced around herself, taking in her surroundings.
When YuYu had used her 'Shadow Step' ability, she had made sure to spread her shadow as far as she possibly could, so YuYu wouldn't come in contact with Jia Yi even if she had decided to chase her down. But the backlash from using her tier 3 ability to its limit even when she couldn't control it, damaged YuYu's body beyond expectation.
'Think! Come on!' YuYu grew restless as she tried to come up with a plan on how to get out of the forest she was trapped in.
If she treaded through the forest without knowing where she was going, she was going to ultimately become more lost and die of either hyperthermia or of Blood loss. She could even become the victim of a wild animal if she wasn't careful!
Searching through her new found memories once again, YuYu thought hard recalling every memory she could about the forest she was in. She clenched her bloody fists as she forced herself to think about every piece of information the previous YuYu had in the past 172 years. As she dwelled in deeper to the previous YuYu's memories, she stumbled upon a shocking find.
"I have a family...?" YuYu whispered wide eyed as the information struck not only her mind....but her heart?
