"Hope and freedom hand in hand, workin' for tha Caanan land." I sang as I scrubbed another dish. Mom and Dad had left me home alone because they went out to buy some grocerys that the house needed, so I had volunteered to stay behind and clean house for them.
Putting the last dish away, I looked around still bobbing my head along with the music flowing from my iPod. Putting it on pause, a sly smirk made it's way onto my face before I rushed for the stairs, tripping over my own two feet as I went and was sent flying head over heels down the spiral staircase until I was spat out onto my gameroom floor.
Groaning and grumbling at my clumsyness, I scrambled to my feet and threw myself into the giant been-bag and quickly powered up my X-box 360. I quickly bi-passed all of the comercials and squealed when I saw the logo pop up on screen as it loaded: Transformers; War for Cybertron.
Quickly selecting the Autobot campaign, I picked it up where I had been earlier this morning before my folks left.
I cackled when I got to select my character and easily went with Ironhide, he and Warpath were both cool ,but I think the old timer definatly earned some pointers.
I was sitting on the edge of the bag, holding my breath as I went against the final boss, Trypticon of the wrecked surface of Cybertron. I heard whistling and paused the game before looking around, movement from the corner of my eyes caught my attention and I glanced out the window only for my jaw to drop.
It was so windy! I lived out in the woods and we were currently getting hammered by a ruthless storm, but it hadn't been so bad earlier! There was a loud 'CRACK!' and I bolted from my spot in front of the TV and looked out the window. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head as I watched three different trees fall over our service road that went down to the well.
'Dad's so not gonna be happy about that...' I thought to myself before going back over to my bag and plopping down onto it and started the game right up again, and quickly lost myself in the action.
I readied myself in the sniper position I had managed to find that was safe from Trypticon's blasted tail. I was about to shoot the final shot as Optimus shouted, "Shoot soldier!"
My finger hit the button just as the house went black.
I stared at the black screen with my mouth open in complete shock before I snapped.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I shrieked as I flailed my arms over my head. My glare snapped to the X-box console and I pointed a finger at it.
"You had better 'ave saved my game or so help me I will slag your processor!" I shouted before flopping back in defeat and staring at the ceiling. Something drew me out of the daze I had worked myself into and I sat up before holding my breath, trying to hear what caught my attention.
There! There it was again! It took me a second to realize that someone was screaming! I ran to the downstairs door and stopped and glanced down at myself, barefoot, brown leggings, white tanktop, black and green flannel hooded shirt, grey beanie and black rimmed glasses, good for going out in this crummy weather? Psh, no. But I did.
Unlocking the door, I threw it open, the strong wind immediatly soaking me as it blew the rain at me.
"Hello?!" I shouted over the roaring wind, wincing everytime a tree or a branch creaked and cracked, these storms were dangerous out here, especially in all these trees. There was another shout and I looked into the denser woods that lay just beyond out property lines.
Steeling myself, I shut the door and took off running down the hill, so happy that I had been born with tough feet as I went. I reached the edge of the property and looked around, I couldn't rreally see anything out of the ordianry from here, but that didn't mean anything to me, I had to find whoever was hurt and see if I could help, or at the very least call for help once I had found them.
"Hello?! If you can hear me let me know!" I shouted, before having to dodge to the side as a branch speared the ground close to where I had been standing. I glared at it before a groan answered my earlier call.
I quickly jumped the fence, wincing as I felt a couple of things get lodged in my feet but I pushed on. I came to a clearing and gaped at what I saw. There were two trenches, at least thats what they looked like, and inside of them was what amazed me.
