I was majorly ticked off. It was the last day of school and I just got a detention. My teacher was probably a child abuser. Then again I spent more time with her after school than I did with my dad. I was an insane park ranger's son, and that really doesn't help you much in high school. "Mr. Jenkins" said the old hag, "though it is the last day of school, it is not a zoo". So much for all the shaving cream in my backpack. And the fire cracker. And the spray paint. She gave me a look only I got for some reason. It froze most other kids but never really bothered me. After detention I trudged home, with a really embarrassing report card. At least I would never go to this god forsaken rock again. I got on my ATV, the only good thing about being a park ranger's son. My dad was locked in his room looking at "ancient" manuscripts. As a worker at Mythical Park he got 2 free visits. The place was fascinating for me at age 4, with unicorns, flying pegasi, and most famously, dragons. But any fool could see that the pegasi where mechanical, the unicorns where regular horses with a horn taped on, and no one had ever seen a dragon. There was only cheesy signs and virtual realities that showed them. I did get some girls on an ATV though. Good ol ATV. I was leaving the house and cruising around in the wilderness, seeing if there was anyone in need of rescue. Occasionally some loser went near the geyser, a volcano that cooled but still sometimes shot up super heated water or flame. I heard the tremble and a roar. And a very pretty young lady in a picnic. Who knows maybe I could be the knight in shining armor who rescued her from the wall of flame on a nice looking ATV.
As I was closing on her she had a weird looking candle. And was chanting some very weird stuff. Every time she finished a verse a spout of fire came up. Cool she was insane. But still really pretty. As I neared she didn't notice me. I guess my ATV was in stealth mode or something. I came up from behind and grabbed her. She started yelling and screaming. "Look that volcano is about to blow" I told her.
"I know that, it's the reason I'm here. You ruined it you ruined it" she said in extremely higher pitched and feverish tones. I yelled over the roar of the eruption "WHAT DID I RUIN. "
"The ritual" she whispered in a sort of defeated tone of voice. "Now we all die"
