A.N. Please read and review.

            I kept walking as the sweat dripped down my face…  It was raining, and I had to be climbing a mountain…  It would take me forever to get to the top, but I had to get away, away where he couldn't find me.  I have been on the run for so long….  I don't have a life, except to run. My name is Piccolo, and I am tall, I have green skin pigmentation because I come from the Planet Namek.  I was a witness in the murder of the king of a planet, and now they have a hitman after me..

            I have been t planet beyond planet to get away.  Now I am on the Planet Earth, and climbing through the mountains.  Soon, I'll be leaving.  I have not found a weapon that would kill this hitman…  I am here searching for something to kill him, so that I may rest in peace and stop running.  Anyway, I finally reached the top and laid everything up.  The tent wasn't much after going through everything, but it would do.

            All my food was raised high above ground so bears wouldn't get to it.  And all of my equipment: lasers sensors, traps, and satellite computers were all shut on and placed very carefully.  I decided that I would go get some twigs for a fire.  It was promising to be cold night, and I wasn't about to freeze.  So, I got up and walked off into the woods.  Despite it being woods, there were hardly any twigs the right size.  I passed over a creek, and I could hear the echo of my guns moving in their holsters as I skipped over the rocks.

            I came upon this shallow part of the river where it cut out into a ridge.  I walked towards it when I heard this loud growling and then a low moaning noise.  I ran around the side and saw a girl.  She had brown hair, green eyes, and looked tall.  She was being attacked by a mountain lion.  She was covered in blood and was very badly wounded, so I jumped in front of the mountain lion, and tackled it to the ground.

                        I rolled it over and took my gun out of its holster.  I put a bullet through its head and watch it die in seconds.  I turned towards the girl. 

"I won't hurt you, I'm here to help." I stated.

"Uhhhhh.  Owwww, don't touch me!" The girl screamed.

            I didn't listen to her and picked her up.  I carried her back to my camp and laid her onto some blankets.  She soon fell asleep beside the fire, and I went back to the river and brought her back some fresh water to clean her wounds.  When she woke up, I had already dressed her wounds, and she was in warm blankets next to a fire.

"Who are you?!  What do you want with you me?!" She demanded.

"Don't be so paranoid.  I am here to help you, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you." I stated.

"Oh, I don't need your help!  I could've saved myself!" She shouted.

"Yeah, you could've saved yourself, uh-huh.  I could really see you pulling yourself right out of that mountain lion's mouth." I laughed.

            I walked over to her, and grabbed the sides of her mouth, then sprinkled some water in.

"Drink that." I said.

"Puuuuhhh!" She spit it out at me.

"Disgusting!  Now since you're here and I'm not letting you go, why don't you tell me your name?" I asked.

"Why don't you go throw yourself in the river?" She implied.

"Okay, well I'll find out later.  My name is Piccolo." I replied.

"What the hell kind of a name is that?" She wondered.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I smiled.

"Leave me alone." She snapped.

"Okay, okay.  Have a good night's sleep…  Oh, and don't expect to go anywhere, because if you try, my sensors will kill you.  Good night."  I teased.

            I walked into my tent and shut it.  I silently laughed.  It was probably going to be a long, long night.  I got undressed, then got up under my sleeping bag top.  I lay my head on the pillow, shut my eyes, and fell to sleep…
