Chapter 10

The Flood

Twitch's face grew white. "Its...rushing water..." he said only loud enough for Katie to hear since she was standing closest to him. "Everyone...RUN! It's a flood!!" Everyone started running blindly, pushing and shoving trying to get somewhere that didn't exist.

"Twitch! What are we going to do?!" Katie yelled over the screaming and the rushing of the water. "Just hold on to me!" Katie clung to Twitch like her life depended on it. (which of course it did) Hannah buried her head on Zigzag's shoulder and his arms wrapped around her. Poor Mandy, because Stanley wasn't with them, she was all alone. At least until she was pulled into a group of boys all hugging and yelling.

Then the water came. It came ripping through the desert sands and was about 10 feet high. The rain had let up a little and the teens could see the wall of water when it was about 15 feet away. Katie and Twitch closed their eyes, Hannah and Zigzag screamed, while the other crowd of boys clung to each other for dear life.

The water hit Katie and Twitch first pulling them under the dark murky water and then kept heading until it smashed full force into Hannah and Zigzag. It only then hit the others and soon no one could tell up from down, air from water, or the ground from each other.
