Lonliness...

Lance walked up to the edge of the little stream that flowed down over some rocks and into a pond. He loved just listening to the sound of water, even though it made him think of his mother.

"I thought when I came here, things would be different. So far, I'm still alone..." he took his shoe off and put his foot in the water. Moving the water around he just took his other shoe off and placed it in. he leaned back and layed his head ground in the grass.

"This place sure is quiet..."

Lance heard something up the stream a bit, a bush moving or something. He slid his shoes back on and stood up. "What the?" He walked very slowly up the stream. Snapping his fingers a little ball of fire burst into flame. It hoovered lightly above his palm. Let's see if whatever that was is flamable... He reared back and chunked the fireball towards the noise. He watched it soar in the air, and watched it fall towards its destination. "Sweet!"

He saw something stand up and started running towards it. He stared at it for a second and realized it was a girl. "Oh, I'm sorry! that didn't hit you did it?" he tried to approach her. "I didnt know what that was, I just got a little nervous and went on the offensive. If I wouldve known it was a girl I wouldnt have done that!" He was probably blushing from head to toe. Talking to friends that were girls was one thing, but talking to a stranger that was a girl. Now, thats a different story. I could feel his knees shaking.

Lance could sense some type of uneasiness about her. "Um, you okay? Let me look" he took the girls hand and looked at the burn. "I'm so sorry!" he took out a tube of oitnment and rubbed it on her hand massaging it in and wrapped it securely for her. She seemed so fragile and soft, why was she in such a place like this?

"Well, what r u doing out here?" he said putting his hand on the hips. "It's a little dangerous don't u think?" That sorta baffled him, a little girl out in the wilderness for no apparent reason.
