It had been about ten minutes since I last saw the blonde cowboy and his camp, and I knew I had about twenty more minutes to go, but the heat was starting to get to me, and my body hurt from the sun shining on it.

I neared some tall rocks that created a shadow under them, and I knew that it was my chance to relax a little, and with the plants that lived under the shadow, Thunder Realm would be able to eat some food.

"There, there, girl. The plant is pretty dried, but it's still edible. We'll be on our way as soon as the air gets colder."

I sat right under the land of rocks; calming my nerves as my eyes closed every now and then. Thunder Realm, too, had sat down under the shadow, feeling the breeze that passed by.

Seeing as the silhouette of the rocks grew smaller, I knew that the sun had been placed in the position of noon, hitting the hottest part of the day. I knew I wouldn't last any longer there than when I was on the road, so I decided to stand up from my sitting position, getting ready to head back south to meet Johnny and Gyro once again.

I walked back to the path I had been following, which were just my old foot prints, whistling to Thunder. Moments passed, and yet I didn't hear the hoofs of Thunder Realm, which made me stop in my tracks, turning around, only to find her looking in my direction with her ears perked.

"You alright there, girl?"

She didn't move nor make a sound, so I tried going up to her, but she backed away rapidly and I stopped immediately, not Knowing what to do. Out of nowhere, I felt a sharp pain pass through my arm from above, and once I looked up, I was met with a huge, horrifying eyeball.

There were no eyelids, no lashes nor skin, just the eye itself, and once it saw me, it started attacking once again repeatedly, and I tried to run it off, but it didn't even surprise me when I figured out that the movement of the eye was faster than the speed of a boat.

It followed my tracks, and once I passed another set of rocks, it stopped attacking, confused and looking around. I stayed there until I saw that the damn eyeball could move through the air.

I watched it move around, and once it was far enough, it turned around, spotting me from my hiding place. It didn't seem to attack Thunder, but I didn't risk it by trying to hide between her and a wall of rocks because it might actually attack her.

I ran once again, this time straying from the path I had been following, hoping to find somewhere safe to hide from the godforsaken eye that was following me around, shooting some sort of cold, sticky liquid that I guessed to be tears or something related to it.

Every now and then, I would try to hide behind rocks or a few cacti, but the eye kept following me through the land, the tear piercing through everything that I hid in, only slowing down and attacking once again once it saw me.

I started running out of breath, and I knew that I couldn't run away forever, so without a thought, I threw one of my explosive pins through the air, and once it got close to the eye, it created a huge explosion
