A young blue haired girl was shouting angrily at a young boy who looked very alarmed. The young kid was wearing a orange /spanspan style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline;"gi /spanspan style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"and seemed agitated. /span/p

"The kid growled at the car, and, without warning, lunged at it. Incredibly, the car went tumbling like it was a cheap plastic toy. Metal bent, glass scattered, and shards flew everywhere. The blue haired girl felt shards of glass dig into her skin and felt a sharp, burning pain in her arm. Letting out a sharp wail, the girl began to grab something from a compartment next to her./span/p

She was horrified that something could survive that, and was scared out of her wits by the way it effortlessly tossed around her car. A wave of guilt passed over her as well. She had just tried to kill a kid! Even if she had taken him for some sort of monster, he was still just a child. Cradling her broken arm, she gazed fearfully at the child. /span/p

He didn't seem to know what the gun was. Realization dawned on her. It was as if the kid had never seen civilization before. Somehow the thought made her guilt worse. She suddenly realized how bad her situation was. She was injured and bleeding, with a broken arm. She was in the middle of nowhere, with her only mode of transportation destroyed. Worst of all, the only person within miles was a wild child who was completely oblivious to the outside world, violent enough to attack anything he didn't know, and strong enough to flip a car. Knowing this, she decided to choose her next words carefully. She could not let the kid know she had tried to kill him, no matter how accidental it was or how out of context it was. She decided the best way to deal with it was her favorite way-charm and deception./span/p

It was perfectly safe now that she had emptied it into him. "It's just a toy to scare people off. Don't touch it though, it's a bit of a danger if you use it wrong." She smiled, ignoring the unbelievable pain in her arm./span/p

Taking a look at her radar, she saw that her destination wasn't too far./span/p
