Into the Unknown

Chapter 1, Part III: Frost in the City

Katie
Hiya! The name's Katie, my life hasn't been the easiest. I don't know who my parents are, and my first memory is waking up alone on the streets of New York. It was snowing, but I wasn't cold. And I've been growing up alone ever since. Oh and I forgot to tell you, I have magic powers.

On a snowy winter day in New York... "Stop, in the name of justice!" said a policeman, as he walks up to his target, gun up and aimed.

"Sorry old chap, but I gotta dash." said a girl trying to fake a British accent. Then she ran and jumped off the side of the building. The policeman shot and a sudden gust of wind surrounded the girl in midair. In less than a second the girl was standing on a bridge of ice, eyes glowing light blue, with a bullet frozen in midair in between her and the now frozen policeman. "Now there's a new meaning to being cool." Then a new policeman, girded in black armor, blasted through the door.

"Katie Frost! You are under arrest for obstruction of public property, and defiance of the authorities!" he shouted pointing at Katie.

"Frost? Katie Frost? Is that really the best NYPD can think of Gared?" asked Katie, in pure disappointment, "anyways, I will not back down to you guys, and I don't plan to stop soon. Example number one: your friend over there who is currently chilling out." Then Gared's eyes started to glow dark grey and he whipped his arms out and metal blades launched from them at incredible speed. Another gust of wind left the blades in the same condition as the bullet and the policeman. "You've been working on that swing haven't you Gared? I'm glad you care so much about me!" said Katie mockingly as she continued to walk to the next building on her bridge of ice. She looked at the silent Gared in bewilderment. "Hello? Mr. Metal Man?" said Katie.

Then Gared looked up, murderous intent in his eyes. "rrrrrrRRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!" he roared as he looked at Katie. He lunged forward and was in front of Katie in an instant.

"Woah there tiger!" Katie exclaimed, and the ice bridge deformed and they both broke into a fall. Gared landed hard on a car, with no one in it thankfully, and Katie landed in a mound of fluffy snow. Her head popped out of the snow, "Whew! That was a close one!" She looked over at the crater comet-Gared had made.

"I'll kill you frost..." Gared coughed lying on the ground.

"Yeah, I think I'll pass today." Katie said. She turned and began to ice skate past cars making her own path.
