Chapter 3: Into The Frying Pan!
We sat down Mark looking stern "what did you think you were doing!" Mark said tryng to keep his voice down but not succeeding, it looked like was about to explode
"Shh" I hissed.
"You could of died!" he said concern in his voice.
"But I didn't" I said not wanting to be in this conversation.
"But you could of," he hissed back "did you even think about what you were doing?"
"No." I admitted.
Just then the waitress came over and served us our shakes. Mine was Oreo and Mark's was strawberry. "what would your mom say to this?" Mark said still irritated. "my moms not here!" I said impatiently. Stacy, my mom was out of town for a couple of months and I was staying at Marks house. We ate our shakes in silence, I was about half way done with my shake when the feeling that someone was watching me came back. I looked around but like last time I saw nothing. I started to get suspicious, but I shrugged it was probably nothing.
Just then a low rumble began shaking the shop. Mark and I turned in our seats. looking around a little confused "Drake did you feel that?" Mark said in a worried tone.
"Yea I felt it." I said in reply.
"Is it an earthquake?" he asked still worried.
"an earthquake? but we haven't had one ever" I said. this town was in a no fault zone and there is a 95% chance that there wouldn't be an earthquake. Sure enough it was an earthquake and the ground began to jerk right and left. It looked like we were right in the middle of it. Mark jumped to his feet grabbing my hand on the way. We ran out side looking around at were we should go, I noticed a bright fire from one of the cars that exploded, a man!, came out of the fire. he looked huge, about 7ft tall, big and muscular, but that wasn't the strangest part he was literally on fire and it looked like he was made of solid gold, bright as the sun and eyes as red as lava, his head turned to me and I felt that same watching feeling that I had felt all day. he started toward me and Mark.
"Drake Dragon at last we meet!" the gold man said in a loud voice that shook the earth.
"Do you know this guy?" Mark said fright on his face.
"No" I said looking as frightened as he did.
"I am Pyrox!" the gold man said still walking toward us.
"Pyrox, what kind of name is that?" I thought.
Then I noticed that he wasn't walking at all, he was floating Towards us. His feet didn't even touch the ground at all, how was this possible? As a matter of fact how was any of this possible?
"what do you want?" I said trying to look brave for Marks sake. He looked paralyzed. I didn't think he would be able to move even if he tried.
"I want you!" Pyrox said in reply with that same tone as before. At that moment I leaped to the side puling Mark with me just in time to avoid a fiery ball flame. Just then I herd something fly past us in the opposite direction. An arrow! I looked for its source and I spotted Green Arrow almost instantly. Pyrox must have noticed too, because just then, five fire balls whizzed above use heading in the direction of Green Arrow. the building went down, but before it did I saw him jump onto the building to his right, he was a almost a whole mile away how wold he reach us in time?...
