(Izzy)

I've never heard Meghan scream so loud, it was blood curdling, and hurt my ears. Meghan tries to run to Luke, but Alex grabs her. The lightning is still shocking down where Luke fell. I have no idea where he is and no one can see him. Alex calls out Luke's name, and Meghan is still fighting with her, screaming and crying. I bring in a huge gust of wind, and push the dust cloud away, but the lightning continues to charge down. Then it starts to come toward Alex, and Meghan and I. We had to run but we didn't know where to go, and we can't leave Luke! What do we do? The only Element good against Lightning is Earth. Wait I've got it! I'm still moving the dust away when I scream over to Alex. I can barely hear a thing because of the loud noises the lightening is causing.

“Alex! I'm gonna move the dust, you find Luke and make an cave of rocks around him!” I scream to Alex

“But what if I crush him!” She screams back at me.

“Use that fear, to keep you from doing that!”

“Izzy I-”

“Do it! Now!” I cut her off!

She spins around looking for rocks. Then I see lightning striking down towards Meghan, right as Alex started moving a huge rock toward Luke. I can see how much she was struggling, this is the most weight she has ever lifted, and she has to work against the wind I'm creating. I stop moving the dust cloud and blow Meghan out of the path of the lightning strike. Now Alex can’t see where she is placing this rock. I hear a scream and turn around to see that Alex is bleeding.

“Alex! What happened?”

Then I see a black figure run into the forest behind her. The lightning stops striking, and Meghan runs over to Luke. I run over to Alex. She had been stabbed in the left arm. That whatever or whoever it was tried to make Alex drop the rock on Luke. Did it succeed?

~Is Luke okay?~ Alex struggles to sign to me.

~I don't know, Meghan is with him!~

~You wouldn't happen to have a really big bandage with you, do you?”

I chuckle and pick her up, she covers her arm and we walk over to Luke and Meghan.

“Is he okay?” Alex asks Meghan

“He’s unconscious, but he was never struck”

~Thank God for that, I was so afraid that I had dropped the boulder on him.~

~Fear really is your emotion isn’t it?~ Asks Izzy

~Sure seems like it~ Alex nods
