"I'm telling you Zora, that was exactly what happened!" I explained. Zora sighed and kept walking. "You know, it's a little hard to believe that an explosion of BLUE fire came out of nowhere. Anyways, didn't this happen seven years ago?". I nodded. Several years had passed since my home was destroyed. "It really did happen!" I stuttered, trying to convince her. "I remember everything so well, and you know that".
"You know, I think you're acting paranoid. Maybe you just thought you saw a figure with a fox tail" Zora pointed out.
"Yeah, maybe...". Zora and I had both just been kicked out of college, for certain reasons. How annoying. "I can't believe we got kicked out!" said Zora, reading my thoughts. "I was just about to get my art grade!". I sighed loudly. Zora really DID want that grade.
It was night. We were ALMOST home. I suddenly stopped and sniffed. "Wait... my senses tell me something bad is here" I stuttered, stopping Zora.
"Kiari, there's nothing here. You've been acting so jumpy today" Zora huffed. I heard something behind me. A grey blur swept passed us. "What are you two girlies doing out here so late?". A voice like ice came from behind. We both turned around. A boy about our age was stood menacingly, in a grey hooded cloak. He had some sort of sword on his back. "Kiari.." Zora stuttered. "Now, we run!".
