The rain poured heavily as the lightning thundered echoed far away. The road was empty and soaked with some puddles as they rippled from the rain drops. The wind was blowing softly as the trees at the other side of the road were whistling and leaves were falling. It was a rainy Summer night and it was extremly dark. The power outage of the street were off and it was so dark, it would be really hard to see when you are driving. The road was empty.
Too empty, she thought. So cold.

A girl was the only one at the edge of the road walking with her arms crossed to get some warm. Her ponytail made it worst for her, she didn't want to take it off yet until she finds some shelter. But the road seems to be endless, but sense she's almost there. She could feel her teeth chattering but tries to think of something warm to get heat from the inside of her body.

She knows that if she doesn't finds any civilization or any shelters or maybe a cave by the time dawn comes, she knows she's going to suffer from pneumonia. She just has to be strong and not chicken out. She just kept going. It's been two days since she last saw civiliztion and her money were already gone from buying her food. Now her stomach felt it was eating itself and she felt pretty weak.

She's has even been walking for a day without falling asleep and knew it may take forever to see civilization. If only her friend have taught her about survival. If only her friend was right next to her right now. That thought of it made her start fighting her tears in anger and clenching her fists.

No, she thought again, now is not the time to think about it. I have to keep going. Doing it will make me worst. The road was so empty, if only there was a car. Just one car will make her relieved. Feeling bored, she turned to the forest on the edge of the cliff. It looked so pretty and she was sure that it looks beautiful on daytime. She then stopped when she saw something far away. Behind the forest far away, the were tiny light that were like bunch of fireflies. This is the place.

The place she have been searching for weeks. Behind that city is where she's going to go. The place where she will see...him. But before she goes there, she needs to talk to somebody special first. She kept staring at the city for a while as her ponytail was being blowned by the wind. Suddenly, something was starting to shine next to her as she turned to where the light was coming from. Her tired eyes widened.

Car.

She watched as the car appear which was a small truck that was a milk company. She gave the driver a signal to get a ride, and thankfully, it stopped. The driver unlocked the door as the girl opened the door and hopped inside.

"Thank you," she said to the driver as she closed the door, "I needed that."

She put her hair loose as she shook her head for a moment.

"So where do you want to go, beautiful lady,"

"To the city right ahead. I want you take me to this park."

She pulled out the paper that had the address and gave it to him. He looked at it and nodded,

"Ok, then, but it may take half an hour,"

"That's ok, I'll wait."

He grabbed still with the address on his his hand and started driving. She never thought this truck could be so bumpy. While she was squeezing water out of her hair, the guy glanced at her.

"You don't seem to look so well, missy. Are you ok? you want me to take you to the doctor?"

"No thank you," she sighed, "Just very tired is all."

"Ok, tell me if you change your mind."

Than the truck grew quiet again. The girl couldn't help but look out the window seeing the lights. The driver looked again and asked.

"So why are you going to the park,"

"There's this person that I have to see." She pause for three second. "Do you happen to know Death Dragon?"

"Well ofcourse I do," He smiled, "That was back in the good ol' time when the 80's made everyone everyone alive. Can't believe our world has changed alot. I use to be a huge fan of him. I forgotten what happened to him."

"It's something that happened ten years ago," she murmured, "Something tragic happened."

"Well, I don't know what happen for sure, but he had this apprentice who was just a really young adult. I haven't heard of him since Death Dragon retired. I heard he quit during the championship-"

"his apprentice got killed."

The driver nearly stopped the car with his eyes widened

"Killed?" his voice shuddered, "But how?"

"His opponent chopped of his head."

The driver was silent for a long time and the girl just kept looking out the window.

"Rumors say that Death Dragon have been left scarred for life and ended working as the manager of the groundskeeper. But people haven't heard that much about him ever since."

"Ever since?" He made a soft chuckle still shocked by hearing the tragic story, "I heard the Death Dragon came back after 10 years yesterday, but it was only for one day."

Her eyes widened.

"He did? But why only one day?"

"Well people who were there said that on that day, two stick twiddlers trespassed into the lair and wanted to pick up something. They made a bet that if they win, they get the item, but if they lose, they get there head chopped off."

The girl sat silent staring at him as he continued.

"So when they were losing from 7-37, the Death Dragon barged in to finish they're game for some odd reason. But without arguing they let him in the game and won by 48-47."

"That's pretty amazing, but what's up with him wanting to help the stick twiddlers?"

"Nobody knows for sure. Some say they might be his employees and others says they're just a friend of him. Rumors also said that in the end of the game, Death Dragon played the game so hard, he blew up the glass of the stick hockey. Everybody said that it was just a myth, but after that happened, they said to be the most famous stick hockey game in history."

"Wow," She murmured and looked down, "I'll try to remember that."

He looked at her for a while and then chuckled. The driver than turned back to the road and then his eyes widened in alert. A bird flew toward them who looked it was blind and slammed into the front window where the bird blocked the view face-flat.

"Woah!" The car went side to side as the girl turned and her eyes went huge.

"Stop the truck!" She shouted.

The driver obeyed as the truck made a huge screech but made a sudden huge turn and hit the rail of the cliff that broke as the back of the truck started pulling towards the cliff.

"Hand me the wheel!" She shouted grabbing the wheel,

"Calm down, I can fix-"

"I SAID HAND THE WHEEL!"

But while fighting, it was too late. The truck tilted back and made its fall.

She was so scared, she couldn't even hear her scream. It felt like a very long fall for her. She even saw the driver. She just waited for her doom to come. Few seconds later, her eyes closed to brace herself. Suddenly she felt a sudden impact on the back of her head heard a cracking sound when the truck finally crashed on the ground. She screamed with her eyes as wide as possible.

It hurts, she thought, it hurts so much...

Her mouth just went completly wide open as the pain got worse. she even found out she couldn't think of anything anymore but the awful pain on her head. She heard the driver coughing and then heard a gasp sound as she saw him crawling towards her in shock. He was injured pretty bad, but he was still conscious.

"Oh my gosh," his voice was filled with panic, "I'm so sorry! Can you hear me? Young lady... Young lady?"

She couldn't say anything but a painful croaking sound and never took her eyes off that driver.

"Are you hurt?"

He touched around her head and then when he touched back, she made a short scream.

"AGGGHH!"

"Oh my goodness," he took his hand away from her and covered his mouth, "hang on, I'm gonna get you out of here!"

He then disappeared and felt somebody dragging her out of the truck. As soon as he pulled out of the door groaning, she felt her body fall out of the truck and landed on the wet grass. The driver then gentely lowered her to the ground. He then place his hand on her limp hand.

"I'm gonna get help, ok? Stay right where you are and don't move a muscle."

And so, he pulled out his cellphone that a cracked screen and blood stain. Since he barely can't stand up, he sat in front of her.

"Hello.. Yes I need help..."

She listened as he told someone on the phone what has happened and she just laid there with the rain dripping on her face and was becoming very weak and unconscious.

I'm dying, she thought, I'm gonna die.

her world was starting to fade. All of a sudden when she blinked, she saw an orange figure standing there. She watched in shock as the figure came towards her and bend down next to her.

"I am so sorry," the figured murmured, "This is going to hurt me more than this is going to hurt you."

Wait, Her eyes widened, what are you doing?

But before she would ask him that, he stretched out his hand and touch her forehead. And then everything went black.
