The cellar door violanty slammed back and forth as the wind ripped through the area. Darry, Soda, and Two-Bit sat uneasy as the winds roared outside. Darry shot up and began pacing. "Where in Sam Hill is that damn boy? Storm's fixin' to turn into a tornado any second. Got me worried half to death."
"Pony'll be here soon enough," Sodapop offered over the noisy wind.
Without warning Ponyboy and Johnny shot into the shelter like bats out of hell. "Darry!" Ponyboy hollared. "There's a girl layin' out in the road. Must've got hit with debris or something."
"You guys sit tight, I'll be right back. Ya hear?" Darry said as he climmed out of the cellar and into the storm. Lightening lit up the sky and a loud booming sound quicky followed.
"Storm must be getting closer! Super man better hurry up!" Two-Bit shouted.
The guys nervouslyed eyed the cellardoor as the light turned eerie. The winds picked up with a force even more violent. The cellardoor slammed shut, casting out all light. "Help me with the door! Darry's still out there," Soda shouted nervouly. Two-Bit joined Soda at the door focing it open.
Darry entered the cellar quickly with a girl craddled in her arms. Her brunette were soaking and plastered to her face. "She got hit alright," He said as he layed her out on the cellarfloor. He gently layed her out on the cold, hard floor and grabbed an old rag off of the shelf. He dabbed her head gingerly. The guys gather rounded and watched Darry work. "She alright?" Johnny asked timidly. "Bleeding a bit but still bleeding. Best wait till the storm passes to take her in to the hospital. Got a bit of a cut right here," Darry said as he pointed to the side of her head. He fashioned his leather jacket into a pillow and softly layed her head upon it.
"Do any of you even know who this girl is?" Two-Bit said as it lit up a cigarette.
"I think she's in my art class," Pony Boy said sinking down to the floor.
"Yeah, that's right." Johnny said peering outside.
"Girls lucky if you ask me," Two-Bit said as he exhaled smoke. "You to dope's just happenin' upon her. Mighta just blown away if you haden't."
"Oh, shut up Two-Bit. I ain't in the mood for your jokes right now." Soda said as he nervously glanced at the door.
The howling of the wind rang shrilly through the air.
"This is it fella's!" Darry yelled as he motioned them to the farthest corner.
The door slammed shut and darkness fell across the room.
