Chapter 1
It was a bright Summers day; the Kennedy family were out in the car. Ed and Lindsey, both now twenty-five were in the front, Lindsey was driving, a small smile on her face, Ed was listening to Rob Zombie music on his iPod. Their daughters were sitting in the back, Sharon, now nine years old, was reading a book, smiling and Susan, five years old, was taking a nap. Sharon pushed up her glasses, to stop them sliding down her nose and continued to read, Lindsey glanced in the rear view mirror at her daughters and her smile grew wider. Suddenly the car lurched and a loud crunching sound reached their ears. Lindsey gripped the steering wheel and tried to correct the car which nearly skidded off the road.
"Lindsey, what's goin' on?" Ed asked, removing his headphones.
Sharon had dropped her book and was looking around panicked.
"Wha?"
Susan jolted awake, "What's happening?" She asked, panicked.
Lindsey gritted her teeth, she knew she was afraid, as was Sharon but Ed and Susan were more afraid, especially since, due to their blindness they couldn't see what was going on.
"It's okay Susan, it's okay," Sharon tried to reassure her sister.
Lindsey managed to get the car back under control.
"That car behind us just ran into the back of us" She explained.
Just as she finished the car rammed into them again and Lindsey had to fight to control it.
Even though they knew what was happening the kids were terrified.
"Sharon?" Susan whimpered as her sister tried to comfort her.
"It's okay, we'll be fine" Sharon tried to soothe her sister.
Lindsey corrected the car and sped up, trying to get away from the car that was ramming them.
"Lindsey, what...?" Ed tried to ask her but she cut across him.
"Ed please, I need to concentrate, this guy's still following us".
Lindsey continued to try and drive away but the other driver was still behind them. She had thought that the hit was an accident until she saw that the car was still after them after the first hit. Any doubts she had were removed when the car hit them a second time. Suddenly the car hit them a third time, more forcefully, this time Lindsey was unable to steer back and so tried to brake but it was too late. The car skidded off the road and as it skidded towards a tree, Sharon threw herself over Susan, desperate to protect her sister as the car crashed.
The car drove off, leaving the Kennedy family trapped in their wrecked car. However a passing motorist saw the car and called 9-1-1 and soon paramedics and police were on the scene. As Brass got out of his car he spotted the wrecked car and recognized the number plate.
"Oh no," He groaned and quickly picked up his phone, it rang a few times and finally Catherine answered.
"Yeah?"
"Cath, it's Brass, you need to get down here, that crashed car you heard about...It's Lindsey's" He told her.
"What, I'll be right there" She responded in shock.
In the car Susan regained consciousness and felt the weight over her, she could hear the breathing and realized who was lying across her.
"Sharon?" She called out, no answer, in a panic she called out again, "Mommy, Daddy!"
Still no answer, the other family members were unconscious and sporting various injuries. Luckily Susan's shouting had alerted the paramedics that the people in the car were still alive. They hurried and quickly began to extract them from the car. Soon Ed, Lindsey and Sharon were placed on stretchers and hurried into the nearby ambulance, Susan was miraculously unharmed. One paramedic speculated it was because Sharon had used her body as a shield to protect her younger sister.
"Uncle Jim?" Susan stood trembling.
"It's okay Susan, you can go with your family, your grandparents will meet you at the hospital" He explained.
Brass escorted her to the ambulance, informed the ambulance crew what they needed to know, including Susan's blindness, the ambulance then drove to the hospital while the police prepared to deal with the wrecked car.
