Kit POV
I awoke at early to someone poking me. I cracked an eye open to see my mom standing next to me. "Hi." she said. "The protest went on for longer than we thought, so we stayed with some friends. But now it's illegal to hunt endangered birds in Evergreen Grove!" "Cool." I replied sleepily. "Where's Cam?" "Oh, still sleeping." I looked over and saw Cam sprawled out on a couch, snoring gently. I giggled to myself. Mom glanced at her watch and did a double take."Oh my goodness! It's so late already! I have to be at a rally in the Runner's circle in ten minutes! Sorry I have to leave so soon, I'll see you later honey!" She said hurriedly, running out the door. "Bye!" I called after her. I glanced at the clock. Six-thirty again. Jeez mom. A little early for a protest, huh? Now that I was awake, I decided to wake Cam. "Cam!" I said quietly, poking him. He stirred a little. "Ca-am!" I called louder. He blinked an eye open. "Wha-huh-?" He asked groggily, running a hand through his disheveled hair. "Good morning!" I chirped. He groaned and pulled a pillow over his face. "Come on! Wake up!" I demanded, pulling the pillow away. Finally he got up, and we went outside. This morning was far different than yesterday's, thick gray clouds covered the sky, and the air was sticky with humidity. I could practically taste the brewing storm. Cam and I decided to hike Wuhu. I heard from some locals that a storm was a sight to see close to the top. Hiking was easier with the sun not beating down on our backs, and we made steady progress, chatting all the way. After about an hour, we got to the highest point we could climb to. And just in time. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed in the distance. Rain started pelting down. The storm came progressively closer until the thunder was deafening and the air was charged with electricity.
Cam POV
Suddenly, a bright blue bolt of lightning arched down and struck right next to Kit. Wait... Did that hit her? Oh God she collapsed. Oh my God she was hit by lightning oh hell no what do I do whatdoIdo What the hell do I do!? I ran over to her, crouching over her body. She was still breathing, but shallowly. I racked my brain to remember something- What do you do when someone isn't breathing right? Mouth-to-mouth? No. I'll just take her back down the mountain to a doctor. I picked Kit up and carried her over my shoulder. On my way down, near the bottom where the path was narrow, I slipped right off the edge. Luckily, I was far enough down that I slid down the rest of the way. I charged into the town, still holding Kit. Finally I found a hospital and brought Kit in.
Later, still Cam POV
The doctor said that Kit was ok. I tiptoed into her room quietly, in case she was asleep. But she was wide awake and pissed at being cooped up in a hospital bed. "Hey." I greeted as I walked up and sat on the edge of the bed. "Cam! Thank God you're here. I'm so friggin bored!" She said, frustratedly at the end. "Do you feel ok?" I asked concernedly, eying a tube connected to her arm. "YES! I feel fine, these peoples just won't let me outta here!" "When are they letting you out?" She glanced at a clock on the wall. "Ummm... 11:30. So like another half hour." "Jeez! That was quick!" I exclaimed. "Yeah. There's nothing wrong with me, the lightning just stunned me for a bit! So I don't understand why I have to stay here!" "Are your parents here?" I questioned, wanting to change the subject. Kit was a little threatening when she was pissed off. "Yup. They're out in the waiting room." A half hour later, Kit was dashing gleefully out of the hospital. "I never want to see that place again!" She stated once we were a fair distance away. The rest of the day passed quickly and fairly uneventfully when we decided to go bowling.
