That should be everything on my note pad, after doing a double-check and has all pack in my black backpack and a suit case. I went down from my room that was on the second floor, carrying my bags and setting them next to our couch with several other bags. NO, they aren't mine, they're actually my family's bags. I live with 2 older brothers and my parents. There is Erin S. McKenzie, the eldest and most reliable, and did I mention he is a fast learner on a lost anything. He has dark brown hair and green-ish blue eyes, very thin yet strong. He is 4 years older than me, which makes him 19. Then there is Dominic K. McKenzie, the middle child and the most athletic of the 3 of us. Also dark hair and brown eyes, some what husky but still very fit. He is only 2 years older than me. That's right, we are all 2 year separate. My mom is a fit, strong woman but people on her side are usually slightly husky or just big, but mom was an acception this time. She has brown eyes and black-brown hair. My dad was very strong yet big warm heart, and serious amount of brains, but a big kid because the pranks he pulls on us. But the time comes he can be serious and he is also creative and loves building things. He has blue-green eyes, which tends to change depending on the lighting and dark brown hair.
OH! And I forgot, hi everyone, you can call me Terra or Ter or TT from what my cousins call me since I was small. I have black-brown hair and brown eyes. "Man I can't wait to se Uncle Roderic again, he's owes me a paint ball battle." Said Dominic, carrying out his duffel bag.
"Yeah, and Jordan is gonna get his friends together for a big game of man hunt in the woods, it gets better than the last." said Erin jumping over the couch and sitting on the right side of the couch.
"And hopefully it will knock some craziness out of the both of you for a while." hollered mom from the kitchen, cleaning up the mess from dinner. Dad came in and sat on my Erin's lap and leaned back, crushing him a bit. I couldn't help but giggle at that.
"Hey dad, I don't think that's a seat you're sitting on." I started.
"Yeah, looks like a monkey you're sitting on." finished Dominic laughing at the scene. "Don't call me a monkey!" Flailed Erin from under dad. Just to piss him off, I sat on my dad's lap, squishing him more. And now I'm squished, Dominic sat on me! Next thing I knew, me, dad and Dominic were on the floor and Erin is doing a child's pout and crossing his arms. We all laughed at this and sat back down on the couch, just not on each other.
I sat on the arm, Dominic sat on the left, Erin on the right and dad in the middle. He turned on the T.V. to the weather. The usual weather man in the dark suit and slick to the side hair with a LOT if the hair spray I bet. "Tonight we are gonna have a seriously bad in this general area, best to stay inside through the night and to bring pets inside."
"Dad, should we be worry about this, I mean our flight is tonight and we are in the middle of the stone, heck I even see some clouds already rolling in." I said sliding off the seat and opening the blinds behind the couch and showing them.
"We'll be ok, don't worry, but I think we should start heading down the drive way soon." announced my dad getting up and going for his jacket. "Ter, go and start shutting off lights, guys get jackets on and snag your umbrellas and start gathering bags, the cab will be here in 15 more minutes. So let's get moving." Our house is a two-story house with an acre or two in the back. So we have a lengthy drive way and dad doesn't think we should leave the car down the drive way while we are gone for two weeks. Big chance of someone might go and steal it.
I turned all the lights, mine last since my jacket and umbrella is up here. Glancing out the window, I did a double take."Did...did I just see purple lightning?"
"TT! Come on already!" shouted Erin.
"Coming!" I shouted back, grabbing my jacket and umbrella and killing my lights on my way out. As I was heading down, I put on my jacket and almost went out the door. I stopped and looked back at it all. "Bye home, be back soon." I said, having a feeling I won't be back any time soon. I opened my umbrella and took my bags from my brothers and followed them in the storm and been getting worse with each minute. After around 15 minutes, we were almost at the end of the drive way but a shot of lightning close to our heads, but strikes the tree behind us.
Besides the crackling sound of bark being destroyed is our blood curdling screams. "Dad, we need to lose our umbrellas, if we don't we'll get hit!" Screamed Erin.
"Then get rid of your umbrellas!" Dad hollered back, tossing his up and the wind blew it into the tree that got hit. We all did the same except they were in some random trees near each of us. I could barely move let-a-lone see because the strong wind blowing in every direction, making my hood come off and my mid-back hair blowing and sticking to my face. Pretty sure the others were in the same situation. I heard some more DEEP thunder over our heads again and felt a power just above me and heard something get hit, must have been the umbrella. I was right, I moved my hair to see a burnt spot in my soaked umbrella and has went through its fabric cover and deeply in the tree.
Another strike hit, but near my mom, causing the same hit. They each kept coming and we couldn't really move cause of fear of being hit or blown down into mud, but we were semi-closer to one another. We all heard snapping of bark, looking at each of the tree, it seems the lightning was striking at the same spot or area, as if to cut it down and land in a certain way...which was towards us! "AAAHHH! Everyone, move!" I panicked. Grabbing my bags along with the others, we went to scatter before the trees play 'timber' on us but we all slipped in the mud and landed on our backs. The last thing I saw before blacking out was the tree coming closer at me in a fast rate and hearing screams from my family, having the same fate as I.
