(Meghan)

We didn't really know what to do after the lightning stopped striking. Alex and Luke both needed medical attention, but Luke was still unconscious.

“Guys where did Matalino go?” I ask Izzy

~Where is Matalino?~ Izzy interprets to Alex

~I haven't seen him since we ran from the cabins~ Alex signs and Speaks

Alex is deaf, but she went through years of speech therapy until our parents died. She also learned how to read lips. Mom always took her to classes and learned how to read lips with her. Alex was very young when she began the classes, so she was scared to go alone. It was really hard to whisper secrets to each other when you Mom can read you lips! Mom was happy to volunteer to join her. She was always happy to volunteer. She spent countless hours helping the less fortunate, and donating time at church or our school. She passed that trait onto us. But Luke most of all, I have never heard him complain about helping. Where as Alex and Izzy, seemed to voice their opinion on helping here and there.

“Should we go look for him?” Luke says

“Luke! You're awake!” I yells

“Yeah, and you're kneeling on my arm..” Luke says pulling his arm out from under my knee “What happened?”

“You tripped and then Tunay, the guy that killed our parents started striking lightning down on top of you, but you thankfully didn't get struck. And Izzy was all like whoosh! And Alex was all like grr, cause she was lifting a heavy rock. And then she got stabbed in the arm, but we don't know who did it cause they went that way.” I points to the right.

Alex grabs her hand and moves it so she is pointing to the left.

“Megs, he went that way” Alex says chuckling

“Meh, left, right its all the same to me!” I say chuckling, while I stands up “Are you okay Luke?”

“Yeah I'm fine.” He replied

“Okay guys I'm getting tired of interpreting to Alex! And I think you're forgetting she got stabbed!” Izzy says.

~Oh yeah, Alex are you okay?~ Luke asks

~Yeah, but I really need a band aid~

~Yeah, I can kinda see that~ Luke chuckles

“What do we do about Matalino?” I ask

~There's nothing we can do, if he is going to flee at the sight of danger we don't need him anyways.~ Izzy says

~Well where do we go from here?~ Alex asks

~ We should go back to the cabins and see if there are any medical kits or something~ Luke says

We all walk back to the cabins, and to out surprise there are 5 first aid kits sitting on the grass.

~Where did those come from?~ Alex asks

“What are they?” I ask

~Oh, there are 5 first aid kits sitting on the grass~ Luke signs

“Thanks” I say

~Should we use them~ Izzy asks

~Sure why not?~

~What if Tunay put them here, and they're all poisoned?~ Luke says, being protective like always

“Then we wont use any medicine” I say

~I don't think it's a good idea.~ Luke says

“We'll just bandage Alex's arm, okay?” I say

~Fine but I warned you~ Luke says

~I'm going to go fill this water bottle~ Izzy says

~Where did you get it?~ Luke asks

~That kit~ She points to the open First aid kit ~Do you have a problem with Lake water?~

~Yes it needs to be purified~ Luke says

~Well duh! That's what you're for~ Alex says

“Whatever, Alex come sit here so Luke can wrap your arm” I say

(Luke)

Izzy opens all the kits and pulls out all the water bottles, she walks over to the lake and starts filling the water bottles for all of us. I starts wrapping Alex's arm, she screams and pulls her arm away from me. The fear of getting hurt apparently activated her powers and she caused a very small earth quake, this shook the ground around the lake where Izzy was kneeling down. The ground breaks and she falls into the lake instantly.

“Meghan! Izzy fell into the lake!” I scream at her

Meghan uses her water, and spreads the water where Izzy fell in.

~Izzy!~ Alex screams ~No, no, no, no~ What did I do?~

Meghan lifts the water looking for Izzy.

“Guys, she's not in here” Meghan says as she drops all the water.
