Understandably Confused
Anjali nodded a bit, closing the distance between herself and the two others. If she was going to be scared out of her mind in the woods with no idea how she got there and no concrete plan of getting home, she would much rather do it in a group than alone. And as far as she could tell, Felicia and the man were telling the truth, they were just as confused as she was. "Y-yeah. I'm Anjali. I woke up ten, maybe fifteen minutes ago, out in the forest. But I don't remember coming out here at all. I don't even know where 'here' is."
She looked over at the man, doing a double take at the gills? on his neck. Her hand came up instinctively to check her own, and she relaxed a bit when it found only smooth skin. At least her body was whole, if nothing else. Yet another tally mark under completely unexplainable weirdness for the day.
"You think we were... you think we were kidnapped?" It was the only thing that made sense, it was what she had initially thought, too, but at the same time it made no sense at all. Anjali's family wasn't poor, exactly, but they didn't have money for a ransom. And anyway, they weren't being held hostage anywhere, they had simply been left out in the middle of nowhere. This wasn't for money, so what was it for? Anjali didn't know the two others, but she couldn't see why anyone would bother kidnapping a random college student in the first place.
Her back to the fog, Anjali didn't immediately notice the change in the weather, though the chill in the air had her pulling her flannel shirt tighter around her shoulders. Maybe she would pull out the jacket she had been left in the strange bag. When thunder clapped, she flinched slightly, looking up at the darkening sky. They couldn't afford to be caught out in a storm and soaked through. If they didn't know where they were, they had no idea how cold the nights would get. Anjali bit her lip. They needed to find somewhere to take shelter, and fast. But surely her new companions would know that, she didn't need to start ordering them about. One of them would take the lead. Besides, Anjali hadn't seen anywhere they could wait the storm out, anyway.
