Jumping, part 2 of 3
Jumping, part 2 of 3

When the light faded, Dragon was somewhat relieved that she was not inside another human house but rather outside during winter. Looking about, Dragon saw that she was standing atop a hill that had two trucks, a pair of flatbed trailers, and the makings of a camp spread around a blazing fire--yet no one was in view.

Hearing the whir of engines behind her, Dragon turned about. The steep hill overlooked a snow covered field. In the field several people of various ages were diving several off road vehicles. From the looks of it there were four dirt bikes, two ATVs, and a go-kart. As Dragon watched, the four vehicles chased each other back and forth across the field, crisscrossing each other. A combination of distance and heavy clothing on the humans made it hard to tell which one was Holly--though two were obviously adults as they were bigger and rode bigger motorcycles.

"There is almost a pattern that they're making," someone said to Dragon's left.

Turning, Dragon growled, "Myuu!"

"You might wait on that power struggle, my sweet," Myuu taunted as Dragon coated her arms with ice to make bludgeons. "Yes we're in your element and that makes you stronger. At the same time it makes you quite stupid."

"I won't let you hurt her!" Dragon growled, advancing on Myuu. Cocking her arm back, Dragon let it fly towards Myuu's face. When it flew through Myuu's face, Dragon pulled her arm back and punched with her other at Myuu's stomach. Getting the same reaction, Dragon transferred the ice to her legs. One leg flying through Myuu's waist at a time, Dragon attempted to kick him. Confused, Dragon poked at Myuu and lifted an eyebrow as her hand met no resistance as she pressed against his chest.

"My powers have not yet fully come to fruition," Myuu said. "This Wynn child is stronger than expected--not all of which comes from being adopted by you."

Chazu, Dragon thought randomly.

"Yes," Myuu said as if reading Dragon's mind, "the four blood demon shall be dealt with once I've gotten you and your family squared away."

Hearing an approaching vehicle, Dragon glanced over her shoulder for a second to see that it was the go-kart. With Dragon distracted, Myuu created an ice spike and threw it at Dragon before disappearing. Turning to face Myuu again, only a moment too late, Dragon had time to recognize the ice spike before it plowed through her chest. Myuu's strength in throwing the spike was phenomenal as it caused Dragon to be thrown backward and crash into the go-kart.

Sliding around on the thin sheet of ice on the tar, the go-kart slid towards one of the parked trucks. Before Dragon could do anything, the go-kart hit the truck's front left tire. After a second, the driver crawled out of the go-kart, pulling off their gloves, scarf, and wool cap.

As the light consumed her yet again, Dragon saw it was Holly, but three years older than before. [+1]

[+1] I altered this accident a bit for Dragon's & Myuu's fight as I was never in any real danger--just damned lucky on black ice at the age of 10. What really happened is that I had hit my breaks just as as I hit black ice and at the time didn't know how to fight sliding. I didn't slide too much but I did run straight in to a parked truck. I know, you don't have to tell me, I know. When I hit the truck, my face slammed into my steering wheel. I ended up with three scratches above my right eyebrow, skinned my chin in two places, bit the inside of my bottom lip, and managed to put a hole in my tongue. Since I had opted out of having the hole sewn shut and forced to clean it if I ate solid foods--a process that still grosses me out to this day--I remember watching it slowly heal and thinking, "Gee, the hole in my tongue looks like the hole in the guy's chest from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when the witch doctor removed his heart."

I had considered using a spinout I had when I was in 9th grade and two near-accidents I had when I was in 11th grade--but those were due to stupidity and pissed off at someone and not paying attention to the road conditions. This accident above, the game from before, and what I have planned next I wasn't mad. Just sheer stupidity of being a kid.

Woo! I get a fight in for once!

Oww... Are you ok? Can you absorb that ice to heal yourself?
