Chapter 5

In the cabin, Luke continued to hold Laura in his arms as the storm raged outside. She had never liked storms and this was the worst one they had ever seen.

"Do you have your cell phone?" Luke asked her.

"I left it in the car," she said with a shaky voice.

A loud clap of thunder rattled the windows on the cabin.

"Ok, I want you to go down into the cellar. I'm going to try to make it back to the car and get the phone."

"Luke, it's too dangerous out there," Laura objected.

"Darling, we may need it. The storm isn't that bad yet and I want to get it before it gets worse. I'll be right back, I promise. Leave the trap door open for me."

Laura nodded reluctantly. He opened the trap door and she went down into the dark cellar. Luke ran as fast as he could towards the car. The wind was so strong that he had trouble moving. He fell several times.

The wind began to take on a roaring noise. He glanced at the sky as he reached the car. He saw the tornado moving towards him. He quickly grabbed the cell phone and glanced back at the cabin. The tornado was moving too fast. He knew that he wasn't going to be able to make it back.

He looked around frantically. He decided that the ditch along the road was his best bet. He stuffed the phone in his pocket and laid down in the ditch and covered his head.

The powerful storm raged on. Debris flew through the air. Luke heard two deafening crashes, but didn't dare raise up to see what they were.

As quickly as it had started, the storm ended. Luke felt the rain falling on his back. He stood up and looked around. THe first thing he saw was the car. A large tree had been uprooted and had fallen on it. The car was crushed.

"Laura!" he thought. He ran back through the trees and stopped as the cabin came insight.

The cabin had completely collapsed. The debris was piled several feet deep on top of the trap door.

Laura was trapped.
