The Big Race

Previous Chapter

Frank followed Sunset into the heart of the city and that's where they parked their bikes. Sunset gave him a little tour around the city, showed him some nice places like important shops or banks and places she liked. After that Sunset asked him is he would like to see something out of the city. Frank wasn't sure what she wants to show him but he accepted anyways.

''LEFT!'' Sunset yelled from Franks left side as they raced through empty paths outside of the city. And then she said something new. Well. Yelled. ''TURN LEFT AND STOP THERE !'' So Frank turned left and stopped. ''So where is that thing you wanted to show me ?'' ''Just a little further, up this little hill.'' She said with a genuine smile as she took down her helmet and ran up the really not too big yet not too small hill.

''So ... we close now ?'' Frank said between deeper breaths. ''Yep, just a little further. COME !'' And she ran aways with that smile again. ''She's good... didn't even break a sweat.'' Thought Frank to himself as he got on top of that hill where Sunset was already waiting.

She fell into the grass and let out a sigh of accomplishment. ''This is my favourite place when I just want to be alone. There's a really nice view AND today there should be some falling stars.'' Frank sat down next to her and looked at the city and then at the sky. ''Yeah ... I used to go to similar place when I wanted to be alone back where I came from ...'' Then he looked down on the grass with somewhat sad and remembering look. ''Where was it ?'' He let out a long sigh and layed down in the grass next to her. ''Real far away...'' She looked at him with confused and excited look. ''Where exactly.'' He put his hends under his head and kept looking at the sky with that sad look. ''As I said very far away. You won't know the place.'' She looked at him with playful look and said in challanging voice. ''Try me.'' He looked at her with look that meant ''I will but I know that I already won'' then he oppened his mouth but then stopped, his look turned into sad one. ''Are you okay Frank ?'' He broke form his thoughts. ''Just call me F.'' She looked at him with her playful look again. ''Ok Mr. F. Try. Me.'' He returned the same look she made. ''Citadel.'' Sunset was thinking and then she gave up. ''Ok, you got me but where is it?'' Frank just laughted and smiled at her. ''As I said. far away.'' So Sunset tried to get soem more information out of him about his past but soon found out that he isn't telling her anything. So she changed the topic and they talked. A lot.

Few minutes later. Well maybe it was even hour. Frank didn't know how long it was be he enjoyed the talk but because the event they were awainting started they fell silent. ''You know that those aren't actual stars but pieces of rock falling through atmosphere and while they fall the start burning so they make that effect ?'' Sunset chuckled. ''Of course I do ! I am not stupid !'' ''Never said that you know...''

Aster a while of watching these Frank rocketed zp into sitting position and looking behind them. ''What's wrong Frank ?'' She just didn't want to stop him calling like that, she for some reason liked to say his name. ''I jsut had that bad feeling ... someone is watching us...'' Sunset sat up as well with her hair having a few green stripes now. They looked at the little forest with few bushes behind them. ''I don't-'' Frank raised his arm. ''Shhhsss'' He slowly got up and looked into the forest. He walked a littlecloser, carefully and silently. Sunset just looked at him with confused look. When he was close to the bush something suddenly jumped out of the bush right one him but her threw it over himself and stood in fighting stance with a knife in his right hand with it's blade backwards. ''FRANK!!!'' Sunset yelled at him in worried voice. The thing that jumped on him was a wild dog or maybe a smaller wolf, it was hard to tell. She dog or wolf- you know what ? Let's just call it wolf for now. So ... The wolf growled at him then it broke into run and jumped at him again but frank just moved to side and kickedd the wolf. Then it ran away whimpering in pain.

Sunset ran to him with small tears in her eyes and asked. ''Are you okay ? Did it hurt you ? How did you know about it ? Will it die ?''

Frank had put his knife back to the holster on his belt that was covered under his jacket. ''Yes. No. Trained sences. And no.''

''What?'' He looked at her with serious look. ''The answers you wanted... I am okay. It didn't hurt me. I knew about it because I have my sences trained and it won't die.'' Sunset looked at him with worried, confused and wondering look.''I don't know what whould I do if it would attack me or ... or if... would be hurt...'' He came closer to her and hold her by her shoulders. ''A, it'S okay and B, you'd manage.'' She looked at him with happy smille and her eyes wattered. She gave him one big hug. ''Hey I'll explain later but I guess you want to go home now don't you ?'' She started to walk back at her spot under the lone tree on top of the hill. ''No. I came here for specific reason. I wanted to watch falling stars and I will. But you can go if you want.'' He layed next to her again and he said with a warm smile. ''No way i am leawing you here alone.''
