Chapter 2: Miss Rutherford's School for Girls
Something shifts -
and you find yourself on a lightly forested slope, in mid-day.
Your body has changed again, this time to another young girl, maybe nineteen or so, slender and short. You're wearing a simple white cotton sundress that comes to midthigh. Plastic open toed sandals are on your feet, and a dainty red purse is over your shoulder.
TRAINER must have put you here for a reason. You just don't know what it is yet.
Sun-dappled forest
The sun comes through in scattered chinks here, where it looks like a fire some years past cleared this slope. Denser forest surrounds on all sides, but here the growth is new and young - pines and alders, and wildflowers. The way is impassible to the north, west and south, but if you go downslope to the east, it looks like the forest might end at the foot of the valley.
