Welcome to my life

Here I am again running for my life. This is what? Hmm the 1...2...3... ok the fourth time this week. These dumb fire warriors need to back off. I can't remember when they first came. Why me a 15 year old girl who lives in a small town somewhere. No real parents, nothing. I looked behind me to see where those burning balls of gas were. It seems every time I looked back that they were closer. and to make it worse is that they can throw burning balls of hot lava rock at my head!

A lava ball flew past my head. Scorching my hair Heat burned my neck I looked down my hair was on fire I quickly patted it out. My hair has always had these weird white streaks in it. maybe now that it is burned it will grow back brown. I thought to myself maybe that's one good thing about today. My neck felt burned. I'm just messed up. But the weirdest is my name. My name is snowflake why did my parents name me that? I thought it was a joke till I saw my birth certificate. Personally I think my mom was doing drugs or something that's the only reason I can think of. Why I'm so messed up!

I started panting I was losing my breath. Sweat was running down my back. I couldn't stop running but my steps were slowing. I'm just a sloppy run away I've gone through 7 foster parents. Not one of them liked me and I don't blame them. They were going to send me back but I ran away. I don't want to be sent to another family who secretly hates me.

But now as I run, I wish that I would have gone back into the foster program. My heart was beating faster. I couldn't run any longer. But I had to. Then a thought popped into my mind. I couldn't run forever. I had to stop and confront them. I would die, that was for sure. But I accepted that. I turned around slowly the gravel under my feet grinding. Hoping that I really don't need to die by the fire thrower hands. What I saw when I turned around made me want to run and scream. They were about 7 feet tall, with big muscles. there shoulders were on fire. The scowls on their faces grew when I turned around.

As I stood there sweating. I closed my eyes. I shook with fear waiting for my death blow. But it never came. I didn't want to open my eyes to see what was going on. Then there was the sound of water on a frying pan. The sizzling was so loud I had to cover my ears. I opened my eyes. A wave of water rushed over the knocked out body of the fire warriors. Where did all that water come from? There is no water around here. My mind was buzzing with thoughts then I fainted, seriously I fainted.

When I opened my eyes there 10 boys standing over me they were all a little fuzzy no 8 boys wait 4 no 2 wait there is 1 phew I thought I was going crazy. The boy had sandy blond hair with a blue spot in the back. His face was soft. His eyes were a deep blue. He looked a little older than me.

He was wearing a pair of blue swimming trunks.

"Are you ok?" he asked me

"Wha..?"

"Are you ok?"

"Oh yes I'm ok." he pulled me up to my feet his hand was warm and a little moist was strange

"Hi my name drench." he shook my hand still holding it from pulling me up

"I'm snowfl..." I stopped I don't know this guy should I tell him my name? Drench that is a weird name maybe he is some kind of loony.

"Your snowfla?"

"No snowflake " I said rubbing a scab on my arm.

"why are you out here?" he looked very confused

"Well... I could ask you the same question" I said.

He looked at me like I was the weirdest person on the face of the earth well I was so it made sense.

"Well for one why are you in the ruins of the ice kingdom?" he asked me

"The ice kingdom ruins?! We are in the middle of the dessert in Australia!"

He looked confused "no were not."

"Yes we are I live around here, sort of." I mubled the last part swinging my arm and accidently hit him. I didn't mean to but I was tired I had just run for 4 days

"Hey don't hit me I just saved your life!"

"That was you? How?"

"never mind."

"well thanks." then I fainted again.
