Thirteen year old Edmund desperately tried to free his feet that were now bound to the train tracks. 'Stupid bullies, I'll get them one of these days!' he thought still trying to undo the tape, nails and anything else that was keeping him stuck. He looked around hoping, praying that the train would not come today, but he knew it would. He could hear it coming, if he couldn't get his feet out he would be dead. 'Just undo the lace and slip your foot out!' He yelled to himself. He tried but failed, his shoes were not come off. He looked around once more he saw his brother and sisters waiting, waiting for him.
The track began to shake violently, the train was coming. He gripped his feet, pulling frantically, still nothing. He could hear the train approaching quickly, he could make out the front. Edmund turned to face his sibling 'Help!' he screamed 'why couldn't I scream out loud? Why can't you hear me?! Help Peter!' Peter turned, he froze he saw Ed standing there, he glanced at the on-coming train before running.
" Edmund! Move! " He yelled over, he soon realized his brother couldn't move. The train was within 18 feet now, and coming faster. Peter pulled at the substances that were keeping Ed stuck.
" Edmund no!" Peter bellowed as he was pushed from the track. He couldn't breath, his blue eyes fixed upon the boy who braced himself for the hit that didn't come. A man had seen what was about to happen and came with a knife, he had managed to cut through the duct tape, and threw him. Edmund felt the hot metal front hit him, he felt his body being shoved by it, his body flying to the side before he came to a stop at the base of the nearest ditch. His entire body ached with pain, he tried to open his eyes, he could only make out the gory figure of the man that had saved him. He heard Peter, Susan and Lucy yelling for him, telling him to wake up. ' Can't they see I am awake? Can't they...I can't be dead, I know I'm not. But, the man is' With every thought he could feel the pain over coming him.
" Edmund? Eddy, please wake up...open your eyes. It's going to be okay" Peter said quietly as his sisters ran up to him.
" Is he okay?" Susan barely managed through tears. He shrugged, he didn't know. He converted his eyes to the mutilated man who had been run over, he turned his head the barfed twice. He couldn't take the smell or the blood any longer. Susan took her cell phone out and dialed 9-1-1 quickly, explaining to them what had just happened. Lucy wrapped her arms around the blood boy that only minutes ago actually looked like her Edmund. You couldn't tell now his face was covered in a red, sticky blood, both of his legs were bloody and broken, you could see the pain in his face. His eyes were closed slightly and he was starring at the track.
" Ed? Help's coming just hold on." She directed to him, he didn't move. ' God, please don't let me die. Please let the man be alive.' And with that thought repeating in his head he closed his dark brown eyes, his brother pulling him closer to him. He could hear the ambulance siren in the distance. He blacked out.
