i don't know if someone else has already posted this (there are sooo many comments) but i don't think you need 'the stone' in the first paragraph, just 'the dirt and stone' works perfectly =] Your descriptions are beautifully done, perhaps even overthought but it still works for me xD
Also
-'from her exhausted frame as(she)slowly,<-she turned her hands in the water, bringing the icy liquid to her face'
Did you get that?
'It stung(at)her bleeding brow-she had escaped to this place far too quickly.'
I think you are repeating the same words a tad too often, try [link] and click the thesaurus link =] it's quick, easy and effective.
'the frozen fingers of cold and grief surging along her spine' AMAZING LINE
I love the way you describe her pain, in short yet effective sentences that break off just as you would imagine her thoughts to.
Interesting way to end it. All in all, I like this, and after I wake up in about 12 hours (it's 1am here) I shall read whatever else is in your gallery.
Know that these things ^^^^ are changes I would make and please don't feel pressured into changing anything you don't agree with. Frankly there was little to critique, you're very good.

comment peux-tu me regarder et ne pas me voir?

I haven't read your series, so I don't know if this version is better, but I thought I'd give a critique anyways. So here goes.

One thing I noticed is that you do a bit of telling, instead of showing. Like this sentence:
She had witnessed a terrible tragedy today and it hurt to think.
From the fact that she is crying, dirty, and bleeding, we would assume that a "terrible tragedy" had happened (at least, according to the character), or else she wouldn't be in that state. That it hurts to think is an interesting bit of info, but you need to show that instead of telling it. I think you do a better job of revealing her mental state later in the passage, so if it were me, I would just delete that sentence.

I also noticed a bit of redundancy in your descriptions. Like these:
...her breathing a mixture of heavy breaths...
...cool[,] icy liquid...
And also the use of words such as "forlorn," "oblivion," "anguish," "unbearable," "sorrowfully," "void," ect.
Breathing and breaths are the same word, "breathe", in different forms. Try gasps or gulps instead of breaths. Icy and cool are two descriptors that mean the same thing, though icy denotes something below freezing and cool means something much less severe. And all those words I listed basically mean "sad." You don't need to pound the reader in the head with "sad." We should be able to infer that without you basically shouting "This scene is sad!" Those kind of words should be used sparingly, just to subtly get your meaning across. Subtly being the key word. In other words, don't overdo it.

She wondered if it were better that she were dead, but stopped herself before the thought could form into consciousness.
First off, IS she dead? Because that's what it means if it were better she "were" dead. "Were" is past tense. It means she has already died. If that's what you mean, then disregard previous statements. If not, then maybe it should say "She wondered if it would be better if she were dead."
Also, you say she wonders if it were better that she was dead, but then you tell us she stopped herself from thinking it. She can't both think and not think it. You could, however, let her wonder that, and THEN have her think something like "No, I won't think about that anymore." The character might be able to deny that they thought something, but the reader can see that they did, so you can't say (to the reader) that something didn't happen that did.

She looked at them sorrowfully and trembled at the memories the calm fought to conceal.
I find this sentence confusing. It could just be me, but... The calm fought to conceal? Do you mean her calm, because I'm not sure she is calm. She seems more sad and upset than anything else. Or do you mean the calm of her enviornment? If so, well, for one thing it's not doing a very good job! You might want to reword your sentence to make the meaning clearer.

...small whimpers that hiccupped from her fragile voice ...
So, in this part you have whimpers hiccuping from a voice. There are a couple of problems with that. For one thing, she isn't talking (as far as I can tell), so there is no "voice." Also, the idea of hiccuping whimpers sounds somewhat odd. Personally, I would put that as "whimpers puncutated by hiccups" or something similar, but that's up to you.

Long[,] crude[,] parallel lines
Lists of descriptors need commas.

Tiresomely[,] she allowed herself...
The "tiresomely" part doesn't neccessarily have to be part of the sentence, hence the comma.

...a new[-]found desperation.
New found can be one word, either as newfound or new-found.

Everything was gone, everything. She had lost them all.
There's a little bit of disconnect here for me. A "thing" wouldn't be a "them." It feels like there's maybe a sentence missing here. I feel like maybe you mean everything was destroyed, so everyone is gone or dead. But you could also mean that everyone is lost, so she feels like she has nothing.

She couldn’t feel the cold anymore. If only her spirit weren’t colder.
I don't understand what this means. Maybe you intend it to be a bit mysterious, I don't know. But, I think maybe you mean if it "were" colder? Because it seems like she wants to die, so that would mean that her spirit would be colder, right? If it weren't colder, it would mean she would be closer to life, following this logic.

Ok, now on to the "good" stuff. I like the feeling in this one. I can tell exactly how she feels. I also like that you have something to "end" her angst. Prolonged bouts of angst are not fun to read, so I'm appreciative of the shortness of it. You still leave plenty of mystery for a person to want to continue reading, so people have questions yet to be resolved. Where is she? Who is she? What in the world happened to her? You have just enough of a hook. A crying baby? When everyone is supposed to be lost? That's a good interest-keeper. Very good stuff for a prologue.

This one has more feeling. Way more feeling.

Although, just wondering, how are you going to tell the reader what had happened. I guess you could make it a mystery and give little hints along the way or something.
