The Thorns of Xena

Prologue

The thunder rolled all throughout the hills leaving flashes of lightning in their path. Rain dispensed from the sky opening up like a scroll and making everything nearly invisible. I exited a gas station and unfold my umbrella stepping out into the strong winds. I made it to the side walk ready to cross the street when my only shield flew out of my grasp, so I was left vulnerable to the needles of rain, and the chill of gusty wind.

My coat no longer held in my warmth, but instead it welcomed the cold. I bent down for any sign of my umbrella, but I knew the blustery winds had won. I crossed the street unable to see the other side while my thoughts began to drift in a new direction.

I wondered how everyone had a place in this world and most importantly what was my purpose on earth. distracted by the thoughts raging war in my mind I didn't take notice until it was too late.

 Lights flashed before my eyes as a loud, ear splitting horn grew louder. I turned my head to find a car headed in my direction unable to stop from the rain on the road. the vehicle began to hydroplane towards me at top speed. I wanted to move, but my feet were planted to the road. I was left option-less as the car struck me, leaving my body tumbling in the air like a weightless feather.

It felt like forever before I hit the ground and when I did the air was knocked from my chest leaving me winded. An overwhelmingly numb feeling coursed through my limbs while the car came to a screeching halt.

A young dirty blonde figure approached me and as he neared I realized our ages were nearly the same. The rain seemed to strike everything forcefully or was that the pounding in my head? The figure knelt down on his knees grabbing my wrist and searching for a pulse. I took this time to my advantage, I gazed into his icy blue eyes and perfectly set jaw before I was snapped back into reality. My body began to go into shock and I felt the wave of nausea. Blood had begun to leak from my damaged body, and I became alert to the fact that the rain had mixed with my blood, making an iron scent float to my nose. I started to drift in between being conscious and asleep. This person could no longer keep me awake in this world.

I could hear the wailing of sirens in the distance before I fell into the dark lonely night.
