Daniel's body was so cold. My tears fell onto his pale face. He opened his eyes. His blue eyes had lost their sparkle. Daniel had trouble breathing. He coughed and some blood spat on my face. It mixed with my tears. He looked at me and he smiled. 'I wish we could have spent more time together, but the little time we have spent together. It has been the best time of my life. Thank you and don't forget that I really loved you.' He said to me. His voice got softer with each word. 'You can't leave me!' I cried. 'I cannot live without you!' But Daniel's eyes were already blank and lifeless. He was dead. He had died in my arms.

Mario and I were playing video games again. We heard a sharp laughter outside and we got up. We looked out of the window. There I saw a girl. She was flying. 'I told you I wasn't lying!' Mario told me, his face filled with triumph. 'You were right!' I yelled. What could be going on? 'Should we go and investigate?' Mario asked me. I nodded yes and we ran down the stairs. Once we were outside we saw the girl flying over. She was still laughing. Her laughter was loud and triumphant. The way it echoed in the streets, made me shiver. Without noticing I grabbed Mario's arm. He looked at me in shock and then looked away. I quickly returned my hands to my sides. What was I thinking? 'Let's follow her!' I said. And Mario nodded. Together we ran down the street.

I speeded towards the dragon. Mark below me ran as fast as he could. I held my sword in both hands. I was confident in my abilities. I knew where we were headed. I I needed to hit his eyes and then Mark could hit his weak spot. Once I had done my task, Mark could do the other one easily. I dodged the dragon's claw and went straight towards his ugly face. I pushed my sword into his left eyeball.

The dragon was flying above me. I saw Luka plant her sword into his left eye. The dragon roared in pain. His tail was waving around and I grabbed hold of it. He swung it around violently, but I managed to hold on. I was slowly crawling upwards. I needed to hit his weak spot. I tried to look for it. But the dragon was moving around too much. When Luka hit it's other eye, the beast went berserk. I had trouble holding on. Then I saw it, the weak spot. Just above the tail a piece of skin was exposed. I held my knife in my mouth while I crawled towards it. Suddenly the dragon turned it's head my way. He blew fire in my direction. And all I could see were flames, dancing all around me. I didn't get hurt, but my clothes weren't fire proof. They were burning away. Then I felt a splash of cold water and the fire went out. It was raining. Never before had I been so thankful to feel the rain on my body. I could see the dragon's weak spot again and I quickly inserted my knife. The dragon roared again. Then it fell down onto the street. I jumped of the dragon. No one had been around to see the spectacle. All the hotel's guests had burned to death. And we were in the middle of an abandoned park. We would be long gone before the press arrived. I ran towards Mira and kissed her on the lips. When we stopped I heard Luka land behind us. I turned around and her face turned red. She looked away. 'What's wrong?' I asked her. 'You should put on some clothes...' Mira whispered into my ear. I looked down and saw that all my clothes had been burned away. Oops.

I tried to look away in time, but I hadn't managed. Mark stood before me, completely naked. I wanted to look again... No! I could feel my face getting red. I allowed myself a little peek and I saw his pale body before me again. My heart pounded heavily in my chest. 'Where can I get some clothing?' Mark asked. 'I can help you with that.' I whispered. I could feel Mira's gaze on me. I waved my hands and a set of clothes appeared. 'Woah!' Mark yelled. He walked towards the clothes. I backed away quickly. Too quick, I tripped and fell back. I tried to look away, but I got another dose of naked Mark. I closed my eyes firmly, I couldn't allow myself to look again.

Luka was acting strange. She sat on the ground looking away with her eyes firmly shut. She had already seen it, so why worry? Mark put on the clothes. It was a black T-shirt with a band logo on it. I couldn't read the name. With it came black pants with holes in them. It fitted Mark strangely well. He looked cool. I walked towards Luka. 'You can open your eyes.' I told her. She opened her eyes and took a quick peek to check if it really was safe. Once she noticed that the coast was clear, she got up again. She was looking at Mark with a strange look in her eyes. She couldn't have taken a liking to him, could she?

We were still running down the street when my phone suddenly started to ring. 'Hello?' I said. 'Please help me.' 'Who is this?' 'I am the girl that Daniel was with when you came to visit us.' A faint image of a girl flashed before my eyes. 'I remember. What's wrong?' 'Daniel is dead. He was killed by a blue haired girl with wings. She is flying around over the city. I want her killed.' 'Wait what?!' 'Please help me find her!' 'We already have.' Mario and I were still running around the town. 'She is headed towards the park.' I told the girl on the phone. 'Thanks!' With that she hung up. She sounded like she had been crying a lot. What she had said couldn't be true. Right? I told Mario about the story. He still hadn't looked at me since I grabbed his arm. 'What's wrong?' I asked. Mario didn't answer. What had gotten into him?
