Losing My Breath
When I got into the building, everything was on fire, I watched it grow. I coughed because the smoke was filling up my lungs. I saw a walker on fire. "Jake, Carl, Rick, Daryl." I shouted. Then a shelf fell on the ground. I opened one of the doors to go farther into the building. I coughed even harder, I couldn't really breath. I was gasping for air. I was trying to take deep breaths but the more breaths I took the more smoke I got into my body. "Rick, Jake, Daryl, Carl." I shouted even though my voice was weak. Then I heard my name being called. "Casity we are in here. Behind this door. We can't get out." Jake said. I coughed. I found the door and I tried to open it. I was started to get dizzy, my breathing was starting to slow. "I'm going to get you guys out of here ok." I said. The door wouldn't budge and the fire was growing. I grabbed the knife out of my boot and I flipped it up. I saw the screws on the door and I put the tip of the knife on the screw. I turned it and the screws come lose. I started to wheeze. I opened the door. "Casity are you ok?" Rick asked me and yeah he looked worried. I shook my head as if saying 'I'm fine, don't worry about me.' Then I noticed that Carl wasn't with them. I coughed again. "Go outside I'll be right behind you." I told them and they listened. I watched them as they disappeared in the smoke. "Carl." I shouted even though my voice came out shaky. Then part of the ceiling started to shake, and soon it collapsed down. The ceiling smashing into the floorboards. "Car-Carl." I shouted again. I ran upstairs and I found him in a room under the bed. "Carl, give me your hand." I told him and he took it. I coughed again. I could feel my throat starting to close. "Go..." I told him. Then I saw the stairs on fire. "Go back into the bedroom." I demanded Carl and I go into. I opened the window. I grabbed Carl's hand. "Jump." I said and we did. It wasn't a very far jump from the ground. We walked to the front of the building. I was trying to catch my breath still. I could feel my body shutting down. My eyes were growing heavy. My inside's crying save me now. I could feel my heart beating slow, and I could feel myself dying. I was trying to hold on, stay awake for that little time. I couldn't and so I fell onto the ground hitting my head hard on the pavement. "Casity, come on breath." I heard someone say. Then I fell into a peaceful sleep.
(3 years ago)~ "On your mark, get set, go." Then the gun went off. I took off running as fast as I can. Looking at the finish, picturing the record for the 100 meter dash being broken by me. I heard all the people cheering my name. "Go Casity, go." They were shouting my coach on the sidelines yelling out my time. Then I crossed the finish line. "9.1," the timer said. "YES!" I beat my record with only one second to spare. I got dressed and I headed into the car. My mom started it up and keep congratulating me on my race. It was late about 9:30pm. In the headlights I saw someone running across the street. "Mom, look out." I screamed and then I felt the car flipping and glass breaking. I closed my eyes. Then I felt a sharp pain my side. I opened my eyes and I saw glass in my side, I hit my head hard when the car flipped. "Mama." I said in a weak voice. She was knocked out. I felt a little dizzy, my breathing was slowing down. I could feel my body shutting down, my eyes growing heavy. I was trying not to go to sleep. I could feel myself dying.
(Present day)~ I felt air going into my body. "Come on Casity, breath. Breath, you can't go." I think that was Daryl that said it. The air going into my body was saving me. I could feel myself starting to wake. "Casity don't this." I heard him say. My eyes snapped open and I started to cough. I saw Daryl and Rick, Jake, and T-dog, Carl, Sopfia, Carol, Lori, Glenn, Maggie, Hershel, and Beth. Daryl was holding me in his arms. I put my hand on my head. "Well that hurt." Were the first words that came out of my mouth. Carl hugged me. "Your my hero Casity." He said.
