After a long day at work, the girl was sleeping peacefully inside her small house when something wet started dropping onto her cheeks. At first, she ignored it and chose sleep over the feeling of being drenched with some type of liquid, until a loud boom of thunder reached her ear, making her jump.

Waking up all of a sudden made her feel dizzy , making the girl unaware to what was going on. It took her a couple of seconds to fully grasp the situation she were currently under after hearing the whistling of the winds and the angry crash of the waves. It finally sinked in her head that she was stuck in the middle of a thunderstorm, alone and unsafe.

Fear struck her small form like a bolt of lightning as she watched her little house shake from the wild wind. The posts weren't strong enough and the roof she made was barely holding on, the walls were being pulled from it's nails while her body was starting to get soaked from the rain.

The silver head was too afraid to move but the thought of dying then and there was more fearsome. Opening her wooden door with a weak hand, it immediately swung open, revealing the harsh swaying of coconut trees. Seeing the situation outside, she took a step back in her house, deciding that it was best to stay inside and wait for the storm to calm but when her foot met the wooden floors of the shed, it was too late. The roof and it's walls were now broken, flying away in the air, the wind blowing them.

Having no more house to stay at, even with wobbly legs, she made a run with no particular destination. She just wanted to find some secret cave somewhere along the jungle that she can use for the day until the raging storm passes by but it's been minutes and the girl still can't find any.

The rain made her vision blurry, making it impossible to locate where she was currently at and the muddy ground wasn't helping either as it makes her steps heavier. With a shaking form releasing out heavy breaths, she never stopped running until she saw a clear area.

A glint of hope shined in her eyes as she made her way towards the direction but only to be crushed when she realized where she was.

The opening wasn't the town, she was at the coast.

As soon as she took a step outside the woods and at the sandy beach, the wind got extremely rough, the crashes of large waves only got louder and the rain only poured heavier. She turned around to go back inside the jungle when something dark started clouding her surroundings.

Hearing something loud, like a roar of a train's engine, she slowly turned around to see where the noise was coming from and when she saw what was the cause, she suddenly wished she didn't.

A wall of sea water was making it's way towards her direction.

As fear and misery engulf her small body, something inside her veins suddenly pulsed.

The girl's eyes widen when she saw a faint color of gold radiate from her body and towards the waters. When the light passed through the wild wave, it suddenly paused.

Not only did the wave stopped but also the blowing wind and the raging rain.

She realized that everything had froze midair.

The girl had no idea what had happened but with the current state of her surroundings, she suddenly had the opportunity to run away from the coastline and back in town, where she'll be safe.
