Him

The news was right

It was a sand storm. As I looked over my shoulder,I could see a cloud of dust engulf the path we once walked on. Creeping up on us, the wind moved the sand towards our direction.Finally,the predictions were right.Finally,we were wrong.The cloud moved like snakes trying to catch their prey.We were the pray.Right now I had just waisted about three seconds of survival.Paralised with fear,I tried to move my left  leg. It flailed and stop in its track.It was hopeless. In my desperation for someone to survive,I slapped John who was also paralysed next to me.Luckily,he snapped out of his trance.First,he picked up Lizzie who still didn't know our names and then grabbed my arm.

Meanwhile,I just stared the cause of my death in this face. The cloud was nearly here. Then I fell backward knocking me out of my trance.RUN!! I thought  .As I passed John he started running with  me.We all ran (John and I)The wind was so strong I was tempted to fall back on it. By the way,I know what you are thinking I don't have a death wish.John was going that way though.

Almost as soon as he had started running he had stopped dropping Lizzie harshly on the ground.I don't know why but I felt it my duty to insure Lizzie survived.She couldn't fend for herself. My bad. Now, she could.When John dropped her it seemed to arouse her from her timeless (obviously not ) sleep. Taking one glance at the monster on the verge from consuming her, she ran. I am so pleased you said thank you I thought as she passed me.John was on  the floor.Using all my strength, (which is not a lot)I pulled John to his feet.For the second time I ran.Dragging him behind me,I heard him moan.Well ,I was holding on to his hand so tight it was purple. "Better than dead right John?"I shouted.

Upon turning a corner,I could see a figure in the distance-Lizzie.My heart was pounding like a hammer on an anvil. My arm stang as if I just put lemon juice on a cut.Could I carry on? To see if John  could actually run without my expert help, I screamed "Can you run?" He didn't reply. To be fair it probably didn't sound anything like that with all the noise.Like a cat to a mouse,the storm was still following us.Suddenly the figure in the distance dropped.

I couldn't carry Lizzie as well if she had fainted. "John listen to me,"I pelted "Run on your own," .Taking a risk I let go of his hand.As it fell,his legs fired pass each other using all his energy.The hand that was once falling was now powering him on and swinging along side him.He ran pass me before scooping Lizzie off the floor as well as carring her like a newborn baby. When I witnessed this miracle act,I realised something.I was the closest to death for I was the closest to the storm. Once again I prayed 'Save me dear Lord!'. Then despite all the wind making noise I heared a shout.Again and again,I heard it.The more I ran the louder it was. But no sooner than I had heard it I dismissed  it. 'Lord please,' I prayed begging  my dedication to Catholicism would make my prayers be heard.Someone answered my prayers....

.....but it wasn't God. Shouting words of support ,John stood by the entrance beckoning me closer.Along the path,John had been the shouting all the time to help me. TO HELP ME!!how could I ever repay him? Sprinting through the door, I saw Lizzie safe slumped against the wall. Check list:I was safe,Lizzie was safe,John was safe wait Lizzie and John were safe but not feeling well plus where were all the school children?We are in school but there are no school children how strange!

Right!First of all I would go and find the first aid kit from the staff room.Then I would help John carry Lizzie into the library which held barely any books. Third,deal with any health problems.Last,set up the radio to hear any important news.Let's get started.
