Chapter 8 - Still running for my life

Allen quickly rushed home, changed into his jersey, and rushed to his backyard. He got there to see his father sitting down. "Oh buddy, you're home," his dad said standing up to come meet him. "What's wrong Dad? Aren't we training today?" "For today we aren't training buddy." "Why Dad?" "Today is your dad off Allen. We're going to the park today." "Yayyy dad. You're the best," Allen said as he rushed to hug his father.

After three hours of fun then came the bad part. As they walked to their car Allen's eye caught something. He quickly pulled his hand from his father's grip and ran towards a little girl. "Allen, where are you going?" his father asked but Allen did not reply. His father chased after him shouting for him to stop. "Allen stop, where are you going?" Allen reached the little girl and pushed her out of the way just in time as a huge carrier truck passed. Allen fell to the ground with his leg still on the road but wasn't fast enough to remove his leg.

The first tire passed on his leg quickly followed by the second.

"AAAAARGGH!!!" was the sound that left Allen's mouth. The back tires followed and Allen let out an even louder scream. The driver drove away as the last scream came out of him.

He woke up startled as the sun beamed on his face. He got up from the floor and checked his surroundings, holding his forehead.

"What happened to me?" He looked ahead and saw a road sign. He ran towards it and checked it out.

'Orcsis, 20km' 'Black waters, 13km' 'Death Valley, 72km' 'SHSM, 50 km '

"Wow. I can't believe I've walked over 600 km without dying. I have to thank the coach when I get out of here. If I get out here," he said as he continued walking in the direction the sign pointed to.

Nighttime came faster than expected but Allen didn't feel like he was getting any closer to his destination. According to the last sign he saw he was 8km away from SHSM. "How long is this going to take!!!" he shouted waking some animals up.

"Ignis!!!" he said as threw the fireball around and tried to survive throughout the night. By daybreak, he had reached a sign little stream. "Finally, water," he said as he undressed and jumped into it. He took a good bath, during which he spotted a pair of eyes looking at him. "Hey," he shouted, and the person started running. He took his wet dress and shoes and Orphenius' book putting them on while chasing the peeping tom. "Hey, wait. I want to ask you something." "Ventulus," he said causing a breeze to dry his clothes. He kept running until it looked like he had lost the person he was chasing. "Shit, I lost that pers..."

He stopped talking when he saw a giant and elegant-looking building. "Finally, I found it," he screamed as he ran towards it.
