We both looked out the window in horror. It was a monster! It looked to me at least a mile long. They were living in a small town it only had to travel about six miles to wipe out there entire town. Carlos was starting to hyperventilate. How could this be? We just got a new house, a new beginning and it was about to be tore apart by this beast they called a tornado.

"Look at that thing! It's going to kill us!" Carlos screamed.

"Don't say that! It's going to be fine!"

"You don't know that! You never know that!"

"Carlos stop!" I yelled.

The pure tone of my voice shut him up. He looked out the window and went as pale as a ghost. The tornado was traveling faster. We watched in horror as it ripped through the middle school. We could hear it happening. You could hear the nails being pulled out of the wall joints. You could hear the roof get ripped off and fly across the sky only to hit the ground and shatter into a million pieces.

"Carlos go get the mattress off my bed I'm going to get pillows and blankets."

Carlos nodded and ran off to get it. I could remember rumors that you should get in the bath tub in the middle of the house and cover yourself with a mattress and pillows and stuff. He didn't know if this was correct but he didn't care at this point this was the only info he had and he knew he didn't have time to doubt it.

Carlos got the mattress and drug it into the bathroom. He also grabbed his battery operated TV. Kendal lined the bathtub with pillows and blankets. The two climbed in and turned on the TV.

"The phone! It's up stairs in my room!" I said.

"Kendal! No! It's too dangerous!"

I didn't listen I uncovered ourselves and ran up stairs. As I was going down the stairs I tripped I fell knees first down six steps. I could hear my leg snap. The pain shot through my body. I tried to get up but I couldn't. The pain was unbearable. I screamed at the pain.

"Kendal! You ok!"

"Carlos! I think I broke my leg!"

Carlos came running out. He stopped in front of me and pointed. You could see the tornado getting closer and closer. He picked me up and hauled me into the bathroom and we got covered again.

Logan was looking at the school when this went down. They had spotted the tornado and wouldn't let him come back. They were safe in the college's tornado shelter. The power went out there and it was the only time in his life that he had forgotten his cell phone.

Suddenly we heard screaming. It was James. He had sped back home when he saw the tornado. Carlos yelled and he ran into the bathroom and crawled into the tub with them and got covered.

"This is awkward…"James said.

"I swear if you don't shut up I'm going to pop you in the mouth!"Carlos snapped.

James could tell he was serious and he went quiet. I was starting to cry. My leg hurt so badly and with the three of us stuck in the tub it wasn't helping it. I decided to call mom.

"Mom? You there?"

"I'm here are you ok? What's wrong?"

"There's a tornado!" I screamed.

Suddenly I heard a load sound... The tornado had hit the neighbor's house. Ripping into pieces

"MOM! MOM! Mom are you there! MOM!"I screamed.

The phone had gone dead….
