Chapter 3
The next day, Kira began to pack her bags with all of her necessities. She folded all of her shirts neatly, and stacked them into her duffle on top of her jeans. She went over to her small dresser and pulled out a stack of socks and threw them on her bed. "I can't wait to see my parents. I will play them so many songs on my guitar. They will be so proud of me. I am so excited,"she thought to herself as she pulled out more necessities from her drawer. One by one, each pair went into the duffle in a side pocket. Kira went into her bathroom and looked under the sink for her toiletries but found that she was out. "I guess I'm going shopping,"she said as she closed the cabinet door. Kira looked over at her duffle, zipping it shut as she threw her boots on. Grabbing a pad of paper from her night stand and a yellow pen from the drawer, Kira made a shopping list. "I need toiletries, and I definitely need a heavier jacket,"said Kira as she jotted notes down on her list. Kira put the list into the pocket of her skirt yellow and black plaid skirt and threw on her black jacket. Kira hopped into her yellow convertible. As she began to drive down the road, fog slowly rolled in. Kira heard her car beginning to sputter and make strange sounds. She pulled off onto the side of the road and got out of her car to see what was wrong. "Great. I don't know a thing about cars! Where the hell are the guys when you need them,"she thought. Kira got back into her car and tried to start it but had no luck. Frustrated and confused, Kira climbed out of the car and pulled her cell phone out of her purse. The fog began to thicken and it was hard to see through. Kira pulled her hair out of her face and into a side ponytail. She looked back down at her phone and had no reception. Every call she made didn't go through. "That's it! I can't wait for my stupid car to start. I couldn't of gone that far down the road. I'll just walk down the street till I get home and then I'll call Tommy to come help me get my car." Kira grabbed her purse and her car keys and walked down the road. The further she got, the harder it was to see where she was going.
Kira walked for about a half an hour on an empty desolate road until she reached a pay phone. Kira pulled out some change from her wallet and called Tommy's house. She got the answering machine. "Hey you have reached Tommy Oliver. Apparently, I'm not home right now. So, leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks." Kira sighed a sigh of frustration before leaving Tommy a message. "Hey Tommy. It's Kira and my car has broken down somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It's not that far from my house but I need someone to come help me out. I'm walking home right now but I don't know when I'll get back. So try and call me on my cell phone when you get this message. Thanks,"said Kira. She hung up the pay phone and continued her walk down the street. Kira only managed to walk about another few yards before it started to rain hard. "WHY ME!"she cried out in anger. Kira only walked about another 2 miles before she heard a screeching noise coming from behind her. Before she had enough time to turn around, Kira was struck by an out of control car. She was shot off the road and knocked up against a tree. Kira was knocked unconscious, her purse still swung on her shoulder. She laid in the dirt and mud, covered in leaves and her own blood. The driver's car halted in the mud and slid to a crash into the telephone pole, knocking it completely over. A man hopped out of the car and ran over to Kira screaming. "Hey! Hey Miss!" Are you alright!" He slid in the mud over to Kira but she didn't move. She laid there motionless. Out of fear, the man ran off. He drove off in his car leaving Kira in the rain.
Tommy was home later that afternoon with some old friends after going to the movies. Jason and Kat accompanied Tommy to the movies and then cam home with him. "Man, it feels good to get back together like this,"said Jason. Kat giggled and kissed Jason on the cheek. "That was really great. I can't remember the last time we got together like this or ever seen a movie that hysterical. Thanks for such a great afternoon Tommy,"said Kat, following Tommy into the kitchen, making some coffee. "Hey, no problem. We were overdue for a day out like this.,"said Tommy. Kat smiled as she helped Tommy make some coffee. Looking over at the answering machine, Kat watched as the little red light blinked. "Hey Tommy, you have a message do you want me to play it?" Tommy looked over at Kat as he grabbed some cuos from out of the upper cabinet. "Yeah, go ahead Kat,"said Tommy, pouring the coffee. Kat pressed the button and listened to the message play. "You have 1 new message,"said the machine. "Hey Tommy. It's Kira and my car has broken down somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It's not that far from my house but I need someone to come help me out. I'm walking home right now but I don't know when I'll get back. So try and call me on my cell phone when you get this message. Thanks,"played Kira's message. "I better give her a call to make sure she's okay,"said Tommy as he grabbed the phone. He tried calling Kira's house but no answer. Then, he called her cell phone and she didn't answer. "Something's wrong. Kira always answers her phone unless there's really something wrong. I have to go find her,"said Tommy as he burst out of the kitchen and grabbed his coat. Jason and Kat followed him out to his jeep. Jason sat in the front with Tommy as Kat climbed in the back. The fog began to lift up slowly as Tommy made it further down the road. "Tommy, what's going on?"asked Jason. "Something's wrong. Kira's phone always works no matter what and she never forgets to pick up. She didn't answer her cell and she wasn't home. I just have a terrible feeling that something is wrong,"said Tommy. The rain kept beating down hard on them as Tommy sped through the storm. Tommy spotted the broken telephone pole on the side of the road and further up, there was Kira's car. "That's her car,"he said pulling off to the side of the road. Tommy and Jason hopped out and looked nearby but there wasn't any sign of Kira. Kat looked through the woods a bit but found nothing. Kat ran down to the broken telephone pole and looked by the trees and shrubs until she came across Kira's motionless body. "Tommy! Jason! I think I found her!" "Kira!"screamed Tommy as he ran down the road to where Kat sat next to Kira. Jason followed behind him and ran to Kat's side. "Holy Shit! She doesn't even seem to be breathing,"cried Tommy as he gently caressed Kira into his arms. Blood seeped from her arm and onto Tommy's shirt. Mud and water from Kira's body seeped onto Tommy but he didn't care. "We gotta get her outta here,"said Jason. Thunder and lightning roared behind them as they headed back to Tommy's jeep.
