Lost on a camping trip in the forest, hundreds of miles away from home. A girl hides out in a broken out tree. The tree stood over 70 feet tall, hiding her from the wind and rain that blew through the valley. Peaking her head out from the tree she looks up at the sky as lighting breaks through the clouds slamming down on the ground in front of her. Screams drowned out by the thunder that booms. 

"I hate thunder, I hate the guys from making me come on this stupid trip." She scolds and sobs to herself as the thunder continues to boom. The rain starts to come down harder as she feels the tears fall down her face. Her body shakes when the wind blows into the tree. She hugs her wet cloths to her more, knowing it wasn't helping her.

"I just want it to stop. I wish I was some kind of stupid superhero and could control this stupid weather." She mutters to herself leaning her head out of her hiding place once again. Lighting shoots from the sky once again shocking the ground only a few feet away from her face. Her screams were drown out once again by the thunder clapping as the clouds form back together.

Her breath was slight now, her heart felt like it was pounding a thousand times a second. She watches as the lighting hits the same spot it had been. Multiple times it hits that exact spot. That was unusual. Lighting never hit the same spot twice, let along ten times and going on. 

The girls mind raced trying to find an explanation for that. When her body started moving walking out coming a foot away from the lighting strikes, she didn't feel like she was in her right mind. Her body didn't feel as if it was hers. Her hand slowly moves away from her side, it stayed hovering over the place where the lighting would strike in the next few second. Every four seconds, it would strike again, and again.

Her head snaps up to the sky as the flash of light comes down in a bolt running right into her hand. She felt nothing as it ran through her body and into the ground. She stood there, questioning why she didn't feel anything. When she felt what seemed like another bolt run through her body she looked up at the sky, there hadn't been thunder, she hadn't seen again flash. 

She pulls her hand back into her looking at it, it didn't even have a burn. Her hand looked perfectly normal. Like she had never been hit. She looked down at the ground, finding that the pine needles, leaves, twigs, and fallen branches were now spread out close to ten feet away from her. Believing that the lighting was able to move all of it when it make impact on the ground she sits back in the tree, waiting for the storm to pass once again.

She exames her hand, still questioning why there was no mark. She sighs closing her eyes feeling like all of the energy had been drained from her, which wasn't shocking. That lighting bolt had to of gone through her to get to the ground. There was no other way.

Setting her hands on the ground she will sit in the tree for almost two days, waiting for this strange storm to pass.
