We were watching the sky eagerly. Well, more like Jane was. Erik was there to see him but Jane? Jane was desperate. She fell in love with a man from another realm. Every night at the same time we came to the gate and every night we waited for the descending grey funnel cloud. Me? I didn't really have a purpose here besides them not telling me where my iPod was so that I'd come along. They sky was dark and speckled with constellations. It was quiet. The only noise made was the crickets hidden in distant bushes. My body was warm from my thick clothing but my face felt the cool pinch of the cool night air. I saw a flash of light.
In front of us a dark funnel cloud suddenly descended down in front of us . Lightning struck around it, and thunder boomed angrily. We all jolted back. My hair whipped around in front of my face; I couldn't see a thing. Then in a second it all stopped. Jane ran up before she even saw who it was. She stopped abruptly noticing it wasn't the man that had promised her his return. It was a tall, slender figure. He was in a business suit with a green expensive-looking silk scarf. The man was hunched over and he seemed to be gripping is abdomen. He looked up hopelessly at me; he had gorgeous emerald eyes. He moved his hand and revealed blood streaming from his body.
Everyone stood frozen. Everyone except for me who had no original purpose of being here. Now, I knew why I came. I immediately ran towards him acting on impulse. I tore of my scarf and bunched it up and pressed it on to the laceration. I put his arm over my shoulder and helped him limp to the car. Jane and Erik just stood there watching; shocked at what they'd just seen. Jane even looked disappointed that it was the man she'd been searching for.
"Guys, come on. We have to get him to a hospital," I said to them.
I helped this man into the passenger seat of the car and told him to keep pressure on the wound. I hopped into the front seat of the truck and waited for the others to get in. Before I even heard the doors shut I started the engine and booked it. I drove as fast as I could off road. I had one goal, and one goal only:
Save this man's life.
