She put her pencil down and examined the work. It was perfect. All it needed now was a little paint. She could do that later, right now, she felt like a change of scenery. Putting her pad on her bed, she got up and walked down the stairs. She pulled on her convers and laced them up, then she grabbed a black jacket and tied it round her waist. A silver necklace round her neck glinted. It was in the shape of an E, E for Ebony. She walked outside and climbed into her black beaten up Pegeout. Ebony decided to drive to Frensham. She'd sit down there and think about every thing. Frensham was her retreat a place she would go when she felt life was becoming too much.
Passing her driving test last month had been useful, but not crucial. She could walk to work, she never took the car to work, but it was days like this when she just loved the freedom of being able to drive almost anywhere she wanted. Ebony worked at the local Co-Op. It wasn't a greatly paid job, but it was paying off the bills and mortgage. She tucked a stray strand of black hair behind her ear. The tips of her hair were different colours every day, depending what colours she had been painting with. Today she had been using fiery reds, yellows and oranges. She was quiet and had few friends, but that was how she liked it. She was often to busy painting and reading to have a social life anyway. She pulled the car up in the car park and got out, breathing in the woodland air. She locked her car and began to walk round the little pond.
She carried on walking, until she reached her favourite spot. It was right next to the pond and the ground was sandy. She climbed over the low wall and sat down, resting her back against the grey stones that made up the wall. She stared out at the pond, her brown, almost amber eyes glazed over slightly. It was a quiet day, being Wednesday, her only day off other than Sunday, and there were only a few dog walkers here and there, so she was left alone most of the time. She hadn't really been paying attention to what was going on around her, but her eyes caught something in the pond. It was far too big to be a bird, so what was it? Ebony took off her shoes and socks and rolled her jeans up to her knees to wade in and find out what it was. It wasn't too far from shore and the pond was very shallow, but she knew what she was doing was stupid. She reached it just as the water began to touch her jeans. It was a person.
She turned the person over and the first thing she saw was the scar. She knew exactly who he was…or could be. But he couldn't be; could he? He looked exactly like Zuko from one of her favourite shows, Avatar. But Avatar was a cartoon. This was one crazy fan. Unless by some freak nature thing, Zuko had ended up in the 21st century. She pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind. Right now, who ever this guy was, he needed to get out of the water. He was obviously unconscious but he looked like he might live. She pulled him to the shore and laid him on his back. He was breathing, which was good and she couldn't see any injuries. But then, you can never be too careful. She unrolled her jeans and put her shoes and socks back on. She wondered what to do. If she took him back to her house, she could always take him to the hospital if anything seemed wrong. But what if he was some crazy stalker. What would she do then?
She pulled her mobile from her pocket. She selected 'Megan' from the list. Megan was a girl who worked all the same days she did and they got on relatively well. She was one of Ebony's few friends and Ebony was one of Megan's few friends. Before Ebony had passed her driving test, Megan had driven her every where. She pressed the green call button.
"Hi, this is Megan, how can I help you?" A cheery voice came down the phone.
"Hi Meg," Ebony greeted her friend.
"Hi Ebbie!" She replied. Ebony rolled her eyes. Another one of the people she worked with was Chris. He started working and the Co-Op just after Ebony and he made up the nick name for her. At first she was annoyed, but now she's just gotten used to it. "What's up?" Megan asked the girl on the other end.
"The sky. Listen. You know Zuko right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm at Frensham, and this guy was in the pond. He looks exactly like Zuko. He's unconscious but I don't know what to do. Could you come over?"
"Yeah sure. You in your favourite spot?"
"Well, yeah."
"See ya soon!"
"Bye!" Ebony pressed the red button. Now she just had to wait for Megan.
