???: "stop the train!" We hear the blonde guy shout.
Paul: "stop the train! Pull that rope" he points to a gray rope. I saw another one but it's red.
John: "but what about that one?"
Paul: "that's not it! Pull the gray one!"
John: "are you sure?!" He nods. I pull the rope and the train slowly stopped moving. The conductor opened the door and yelled.
Conductor: "what are you doing here?!" I didn't know what to say.
Paul: "he was only here to help!" Why is Paul always defending me?
Conductor: "very well"
Paul: "look!" Paul pointed out. We all got out of the train car and went in the front.
Conductor: "Caribou crossing!" Then the blonde guy said.
???: "it can take hours to get them out!"
???: "we have no time!" The brown hair guy said. I look at there name tags. The blonde hair guy's name is Roger and the brown hair guy's name is John just like me! I decided to pull John's hair to communicate with the caribou's. John kept yelling from the pain. One caribou yelled back. The conductor seemed shocked and did the same thing as I did. A group of caribou's yelled back and backed away from the train tracks. It worked!
Conductor: "problem solved, all ahead slow." Roger and John went back to there positions before and me, Paul, and the conductor stayed in the front. As we kept going, the train was going really fast.
Conductor: "tell the engineers to slow down" he told Paul. Paul faces the engineers in the train car.
Paul: "slow down!" He yells. I guess they couldn't hear him.
Paul: "they can't hear me" he said to the conductor.
Conductor: "they can't?" Paul shakes his head. We all went behind the safety bars. Since the train was on top, there were signs saying "danger" and "beware" it frighten Paul and I. The conductor used the rope from my robe as a way to make us not fall.
Conductor: "now kids, be very careful and-" we were about to go down.
Conductor: "HOLD ON TIGHTLY!!!!" We went down and it was fast and scary. It was like I was on a rollercoaster. It was crazy. As the train drove to a flat surface. We notice the ice covered the tracks.
Conductor: "blast! The ice is covering the tracks!"
John: "WHAT NOW?!" I was panicking. Oh god! Are we going to die? As the train got to the ice. The engineers lost control over the train.........
