Covid 19 pandemic had just ended and things were starting to finally beginning to come back to normal after all the look downs and riots. When something strange happened on September 1, 2022.
Karen Bosher was driving her car from work. It had been a long day at the office and she was ready for a cup of hot cocoa and a nice cozy bed.
She was driving through Stone View. Tall Stone walls were on both sides of the road, onto of them grew tall pine trees. Karen admitted, she rather liked the look of the rock walls, it made her feel secure. She had mainly moved there for the scenery.
The sun was just sinking behind the dark clouds when it happened. Karen stirred her car around the bend when something caught her eye, a large bat like shape had just flew over the car. Karen had her eyes on the road so she didn’t get a clear picture of what it was.
Suddenly the car in front of Karen’s car, went flying backwards like if a huge baseball bat had hit a home run on it.
Karen pushed hard on the brakes too late! The car sent her car flipping over, Karen felt like she was on a rollercoaster as she was thrown from side to side. Pieces of broken glass where sent flying every where. As soon as her car land on it’s side and stopped flipping, Karen immediately wanted to get out her squished front seat. Carefully, Karen despite her uneasiness managed to crawl out through the destroyed from windshield of her car.
“Hey, are you alright?” Asked a heavy voice.
“Uh..I-I think so.”
Screams come from the other cars which have been hit. Karen breathed a sigh of relief, she had survived a very strange accident but a few others haven’t.
“My name is Cogsley.” The man with the heavy voice said. ”What the heck was your car flying all over the place for?”
“I ... I well, the car in front of me just went flying into the air all of the sudden and it hit my car.”
“Hmph, probably some one put mines on the road,” Cogsley mumbled.
“What? Mines? You joking or something? What kind of joker would even get his or her hands on those? They are illegal!”
Suddenly a cry came from a turned over car.
“Help me! Help me!!” A woman’s voice cried.
Cogsley and Karen ran over to the car. Looking inside they saw a lady lying on the roof of the upturned car.
“Help me!” The lady cried. “I think a broke my leg, and my right arm is cut by glass!”
Cogsley looked over to Karen. “Alright, miss ...”
“Karen.”
“Alright, Miss Karen you are small enough, try and squeeze in there and help her get out, I’ll be out her to pull her out.”
After a bit of squeezing and careful procedures, they got the lady, Polly was her name, out of the car.
“Thank you so much!” She said.
Just then, Karen heard a deep rumbling sound. She looked over and shrieked in horror.
A huge monstrous creature with bat wings, yellow eyes, electric blue scales that lit in the pale moon light and large saber-tooth teeth.
Karen shriek gave Cogsley just enough time to pick ups Polly and get out of the way before the monster left onto the crushed car.
“It’s the aliens alright!” Cogsley shouted. “We got to get to my truck!”
Without further instructions Karen ran as fast as she could to the green truck Cogsley was referring too.
The monster took notice of Cogsley running with Polly over to the truck and began to pursue them.
“Get in! In!” Cogsley hollered shoving Polly into the front seat with Karen. The jumping himself in, he thrust a silver key into the ignition.
“Go! Go! Go!” Karen shouted as the truck took off just in time to escape the hideous teeth of the monster, which chased after them.
“Can you go any faster!” Karen shouted at Cogsley.
“I am going 180 kilometres per hour!”
Karen looked through the back window at the creature as it ran after them, but then she noticed something, something else was moving off to the side of the monster unlike the one following them, it was white, it looked like it had scales but white fur seemed to flow down its spine.
Then Karen spotted another thing but it was flying in the air, this one reminded her the dragon she had seen from the Hobbit. But just then she realised something. There was more than one of these creatures.
“Man, we really have to get out of here!” Karen said panic right on the tip of her tongue.
“Why? What is wrong!?” Cogsley asked.
“There's more than one of them.”
Cogsley almost swore in frustration, before saying “You all might want to hold onto something.” And with that the truck drove of road int to the surrounding woods.
“We are going to Pine Dale Campsite.” Cogsley said.
Karen looked back through the car’s back window. The monster was no longer following them, but as she looked into the sky, there she saw them.
Dragons. Dozens of them, they were now rulers of the sky and land. Karen didn’t know why but she knew they were and she was going to have to do every thing she could to survive this.
