Chapter 18: Not Again!

Stormy makes her way down the hill with her eyes still fixated on the right hand side of the road.

"What is that?" Points out Toby.

"It looks like a person," as she focuses on the person waving their hands frantically in the air.

"Watch out. There is someone in the middle of the road," points Toby.

Stormy slows down and gradually makes her way closer to what resembles a scene of a car accident. The person on the side of the road has their arms waving frantically in the air to try and holler down a car.

Stormy notices the figure in the middle of the road has disappeared and the person trying to wave them down has collapsed. She puts her foot down on the accelerator and as she nears the accident comes to an abrupt halt.

"That's Seth car," yells Toby as he jumps out of Stormy's stopped car.

"Seth, Tera," yells Stormy, as she jumps out of her still running car and runs over to where the person collapsed.

Toby on the other hand runs to the front of the car and looks to see if he can find Seth.

"Tera," as she drops to the ground next to her sister.

Toby looks back and realises that it was Tera who collapsed.

Stormy tries to move her sister and she can only slightly move her. She uses her hands to try and cast her powers to make her move. As she moves her hand, she gets a burning sensation up and can't shoot out any power.

Ouch, that hurt. Why aren't my powers working? I need to move her. I don't have the strength to move her quickly without powers. Why is my hand burning every time I try and use my powers? Thinks Stormy as she tries again without her powers to move her sister. She moves her slightly more out of the way of the accident.

"Stormy, is she breathing?" As he reaches the driver side of the car.

"How do I know if she is breathing?" 

"Put your head down near her head, listen to see if you can hear her breathing out of her nose," he walks her through how to check if someone is breathing or not.

"Is she breathing?" Asks Toby, as he watches her listen for some breathing sounds.

"She is breathing, I think."

"Want me to come over and check for you?" as he starts to walk over towards her leaning over the top of her sister.

Stormy nods as she tries to find where the blood was coming from. Toby leans down next to Stormy and put his head down to Tera's face to see if she was breathing or not.

He brings his head back up and says, "She is breathing but struggling too. Find where the blood is coming from while I go check on Seth."

Stormy nods and feels around Tera's body to where she finds a deep cut on her right leg. It was the source of all the blood loss. Stormy rips a bit of her skirt and tries to wrap it around Tera's leg to stop the bleeding.

"I found where the bleeding is coming from and I tied a ripped part of my skirt around it. What do I do now?" As she strokes away a piece of blood stained hair from Tera's face.

"Check for a pulse," responds Toby as he checks for Seth's pulse.

Stormy places two fingers on Tera's neck and feels for a pulse.

"I feel a pulse. But it is very weak. Now what?" As she takes her fingers away from her sisters neck.

"Is she bleeding anywhere else?" As he tries to pull Seth from his car.
