A most unattractive grunt escaped her lips as she was thrown into the cage. All the air in her lungs were forced out as she landed stomach first into the dirt, her face sliding against the rough surface as she had barely the time to bring her arms up to shield herself. She lay there for a moment, trying to catch her breath as she dug her nails into the soil. Victoria knew there were others with her, part of her wanted to reach out to them for support but something told her to keep her distance, at least for the time being. Slowly she rose, pressing her palms flat on the ground and lifting her upper part of her body up into the beginning of what her yoga instructor would have called a plank pose. She then quickly she slid her legs underneath so that she was sitting on them. Placing her hands on her thighs she looked about the enclosure.
"Huh?" She blinked rapidly when the woman spoke. It seemed rather forceful and harsh to match the look that she was giving. Victoria was still trying to piece together what was happening to her and had not paid too much attention to the injured man. She wasn't sure how to respond to the woman, was she suggesting she should have killed him? He couldn't be in that bad of a condition, surely they could help him.
"Why would I do that? " She felt like she should be angry, but there was no hint of anger in her tone, only the sound of exhaustion. In reality she understood where this woman was coming from, even if the situation hadn't quite sunk in yet, Victoria knew that if they were to survive an injured person would be of no use to them, and would only slow them down. Well, thats if their captors didn't kill them first. "We have to at least try, it-it wouldn't be right to leave him."
She crawled closer to the man and reached out to place a hand on his shoulder, but she held back feeling guilty for being the one to add to his pain. There was no reason for throwing the rock, she did not know who or what was below and it was if her hand acted on its own. Sighing deeply she forced her feelings away and placed her hand onto his shoulder, giving it a gentle push.
"Hey. Hey there. You should try to stay awake, don't fall asleep, okay?" She whispered. What was it that they taught her in first aid class again? Victoria took a look at his back and saw part of an arrow sticking out, she winced and gave a panicked look to the woman. She knew not to take the object out, and the arrow seemed pretty short at this point that what she should have done was try to secure it so it didn't move and cause more damage. Unfortunately it was obvious that without medical supplies there wasn't much that could be done for him. "You, uh, you should probably get on your side, it might help with breathing."
