Rose
I didn't care anymore all I knew was Grace needed help and the best way to do that was to get an adult. So I yelled for John and Laura to please come help me. I heard a clatter and the pounding of footsteps. As Grace thrashed, her hand started to glow orange. Then the carpet under her hand turned orange. The orange spot on the floor began to grow and flames sprung up. I pulled Grace away from the fire as it grew and spread. Then John and Laura ran into the room.
The moment John saw what was happening he grabbed a blanket and started to beat the fire with it. "Laura grabs Rose and her friend and gets them away from the fire!" John yelled.
Laura ran over to me and pulled Grace into her arms. "Come on Rose we have to go," Laura yelled. The fire alarms were going off and John's attempt to slow the fires spread had not worked. Me, John, and Laura carrying Grace ran outside the house as the fire spread quickly. As Laura laid Grace on the ground, John called 911. I could only hear one side of the conversation, "My house is on fire and I can't put it out!!" Pause.... "Yes I think we found one." Pause..."Ok, see you soon," then he hangs up.
"Who was that?" I ask.
"The fire department," John replies. I decide not to say anything more because I know I won't get an answer. I don't have to wait long before I hear sirens. A fire truck, police car, and ambulance pull up then everything gets crazy. The firefighters run up to the house and start spraying it, then the police officers and the EMT's jump out of their vehicle and run over to us.
The EMTs immediately started working on Grace, I don't know all of what they did but, I do know they checked her pulse. The police officers and EMTs talked with Laura and John for a few minutes, as they did worry lines began to crease John's forehead. The two EMTs have brown hair and the police officer has blond hair peeking out of his blue hat.
One of the EMTs went back to the ambulance and pulled out the stretcher. The EMT rolls the stretcher over to Grace, and then the two EMTs lift Grace up onto the stretcher. I quickly walk over to John and ask, "What are they doing?"
"They are taking Grace to the hospital."
"Is Grace ok?"
"They think she will be fine but they want to check a few more things to make sure."
"Why can't I ride with her?"
"They want me or Laura to ride with her."
"Fine but I want to leave right away."
"Ok, ok, you go wait in the car and we will leave soon."
With a loud sigh I walk towards the car. Inside the car I waited for about ten minutes for Laura. Laura hops in the car and starts the engine in one swift movement. I'm so worried about Grace I can't wait to get to the hospital. "Do you know how long it will take to get there?" I ask.
"About fifteen minutes."
"Ok, can we go."
"Yes but I do have to warn you we aren't going to the hospital," I started to interrupt but Laura cut me off with the raise of her hand, "We aren't going to the hospital because Grace needs to go to a specialist for the tests they want to run."
"Ok?" I say with concern entering my voice.
