An Optic Illusion

When all the weather conditions attack one city, it's up to one girl to save her town and her family.

In a small town city, the worst to imagine starts to happen. A weather man warns the city of All the weather patterns starting to roll in towards them, but before they know it it starts to hit the city, making it flood with rising waters. With such a small warning they start to move up to higher levels to stay alive trying to avoid the waters that is taking over their city. One girl, who is at top in an apartment building watches the weather like a hawk watching its prey as she tries to decode what is going on. Suddenly, she spots a large tower in the distance of the city, and she gathers around 3 other people, sharing what could be happening around them. As the waters rise, she swims with a father like guy as they try to find a safe ground with grandparent like figures until they reach a large movie theater and swim into it. The area is damp, but not flooded. The lights flicker and the hallways barely have a foot of water. They begin to walk, trying to find an explanation onto why the theater wasn't flooded like everything else. "An optic illusion" the girl speaks, looking at the crooked movie posters buzzing on the walls. "Where the weather patterns hit all at once onto one area. I've only heard about it in myths, but it's actually happening here. Look the weather didn't hit under here. It may have a few water leaks and damage, but we will be safe here" They continue to walk, and the girl finds large double doors that seem almost dry as the Sahara dessert. Curious, she runs over to it, saying "look" as she pushes the door open revealing a great dining room of McDonald's with two boys that look in college running the place. There were a few more people eating and just enjoying being alive. The group of four stood in shock as they tried to wrap their head around the area that was underwater that had no touch of water on the inside. "Welcome survivors!" The boys said in unison, while one came up to the girl and wrapped his arm around her with a great smile upon his face. "How is this possible" she asked as her eyes wondered around the room, but she stared at one particular object. The Windows. All you see was the city outside, but flooded with water and waves crashing against the building. Dark grey and red clouds covered the sky with rain and lightning shooting down on the suffering city. The girl was amazed by what she saw, but also thankful that she was safe in the newly renovated building. "The theater and this lovely McDonald's is a sealed tight place. No water can get in or out. If you saw the rest of the theater, you can see that it isn't as strong as this restaurant here but that's only because the theater is two times as old as this place which makes it perfectly safe for survivors o this tragic weather." The girl was speechless as he walked her and the others through the diner, but there was only one thing on her mind. The tower in the distance. She kept her eyes out the window, looking at the tall tower that had equipment that could maybe help with this weather disaster. "We have to go." She spoke, looking at her group who finally made their attention to her. "We can't stay here, this whole city is in danger and I think I know how to stop it. We have to go." Everyone looked at her with confusion and disbelief in their eyes. Could their actually be a way to stop all of this? "How are you going to stop this? You can't stop nature." They argued back with her, but she stood her ground. She said everything possible to convince them that they can be saved, and eventually they did. After a while of talking it over, they said goodbye to the two nice fellas who welcomed them in the restaurant and made their way out to the dangers of outside. But something had changed, something remarkable and unbelievable. The water was gone, only hints of puddles in the parking lot remained. The sun was shining and soon enough people slowly started to walk out to see the change. "Guys look" she said to her group who just realized the weather change "the water is gone" but she still had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, "it's a cycle" she looked up at the clouds, "the weather patterns. The optic illusion. That's what it is. We can stop this before it comes back. We have to get to that tower and fast. It will start all over in 3 days." The group still had trouble believing the girl since all started to become normal again, but they still wanted to stand by her since she seemed so serious about it. "It's going to take days just to get to the tower on foot." The older lady said with a clear hint that she didn't desire to go on the long journey. "A car. We can take a car!" The girl was determined, she was ready, she had hope to save the people of the city, and she wasn't going to back down. The group started to walk with fast pace through the vehicles of the city. With people slowly starting to aboard their cars they began to leave the city, terrified if this would happen again. "Someone! Please help! We need a car!" The girl shouted through the people, but no one would judge until they got to the end of the street. An older man with a truck that had no topped stood down from his vehicle with a gentle smile on his face. "Take mine" he said as he opened the doors to the group. "Thank you sir" the girl quickly responded as she hopped into the driver side with the father like man in the passenger and the older lady in the back. But there was one problem, the older man in the group, the old lady's husband, didn't get in, he just started to walk. The girl drove the truck slowly beside him, and they all tried to get his attention so he would get in the truck and began their trip. "I'll come in a minute" he said, sounding a bit off as if he forget everything that had recently happened. Time was ticking by and after a rally of persuading, the old man finally got into the truck and they headed for their journey. But with their luck, a bad thing had happened again. The truck began to stutter, and was already starting to lose power. When the group got out of the vehicle it disappeared with a obnoxious group of boys taking it away from them. "No!!!" The girl tried running, she had no time to get the truck back but she needed to get to the tower that was still many miles away. "We have to get there! We are running out of time!!" They ran through crowds that were crazy enough to start a sidewalk sale to rebuild the stuff they had lost. While they were running they passed a large tent with bicycles underneath. The girl didn't stop, but the old lady yelled after her, "bikes! Take a bike and we can get their sooner." The girl stopped and ran back, grabbing a strange looking bike that was lower to the ground with a look of almost a car and a motorcycle, but she didn't care. She took off on the bike, having the father-man follow after her and the old couple a little way back. The girl looked at the clouds as she road, she could see the dark clouds rolling in and head the thunder in the distance. Time was running out, but she was getting closer to the tower with ever petal she pushed. The optic illusion must have not wanted her there for fire balls started hitting towards her and the ground began to shake. There was more patterns than before causing the danger to rise, but she needed to do her mission so she could save the city. She was feet away from the tower, she jumped off her bike and started running. She dodged the meters that were flying towards her, and she watched as the bottom of the tower became electrified with water and fire, but that still didn't stop her. She grabbed onto the ladder of the tower, and quickly made her way up to the top, leaving the group far behind. When she made it to the top, she looked up to the green looking clouds and saw a evil looking eyeball form in the middle. She was right. The optic illusion was right in front of her, and she needed to stop it. The cloud saw her and made a human like form that was larger than the tower, and it struck for her, but she stood her ground. With a chain that was magnified with electric power she swung it at the cloud, causing it to stumble back. The one thing that she needed to stop it completely was right above her, and she needed to pull the switch so she can destroy the cloud completely. With a few more blows and strikes against her, the girl thought she was dead. She looked at the cloud that was now red with anger before she stumbled across the switch, and hope rose in her one last time. She pulled it down, causing the tower to light up with enough power to reverse the optic illusion and destroy it completely before her eyes. She did it. She saved the city. She jumped from the tower and landed on the grass, wounded and tired from her battle. The group had helped her up, and thanked her for her bravery. She was barely there as she was fading fast, but they took care of her, and soon enough the city started to rebuild itself and all thanks to the girl with red hair, they were safe again.
