Water rushed into the small space of the back of the car. Hands clasped his waist and he felt the pressure of the seat belt release as a new cold pressure was applied to his chest taking away the feeling of breathing freely.

His lower body and chest was surrounded in the ice cold water as it filled up around him, making him feel claustrophobic and unclosed not to mention cold. The strong hands gripped him and pulled him from his seat. Red liquid mingled with the see through water as he was pulled away from the back of the car. He heard water rush above his cries and screams.

Arms held him close and lips kissed his forehead before squeezing him through the window onto the thick ice above.

He turned around shivering on the snow that lay upon the cracked ice. Looking at his father he understood, even though he was at the mere age of four he understood his father was going under the ice never to return. He looked to his father's side to see his mother; his mother half smashed through the front screen.

Tears and screams escaped him as he stared at his father and the deep gash above his left eye. He could just see his father's head as the car plunged into the darkness under the ice. His father stared at him lovingly as half his face was going under the water that was pouring into vehicle. A single tear trickled down the mans face and he closed his eyes.

The cars pace quickened as it sank into the dark abyss cracking more of the ice round it.

Riley turned looking around him crying so much he could only just see the deer run into the woods and a red soft top parked at the side of the road. Sirens sounded but the five year old fainted before he saw anymore.

"… If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul…" (Not my rhyme, I think it is the bibles. 'shrugs')

"Riley? Riley?"

His eyes flutter open but close in a much quicker movement.

"Turn the lights off,"

His voice sounds awful but it is good to here him say something other than chanting a death pray.

The nurse walks around the bed and across the room before switching the light switch to the light nearest the bed. God, he looks worse in the dim light. Respiration tube entering his nose to help his breathing; a heart monitor once again attached to his chest; and two IV's, one in his left arm attached to a blood pack keeping up the blood supply that he had lost during the accident and one in his right arm injecting antibiotics into his blood stream. The right needle was placed just above his wrist and just below the bandage that covered the yawning gash that the last I.V had produced. Bruises and cuts covered the flesh of his face and arms.

"Mr Poole? Can you hear me?" The doctor examined his vitals as well as asking him questions to bring him around. He shined a torch into his left eye after finding his right unresponsive.

He had stopped talking to Riley and started telling the nurse in the room his conditions while she wrote them down on a survey attached to a clip board.

Ben stood back just glad he was allowed to stay in the room as the girls were outside the room waiting for the results of Riley's condition. Ben had switched off during the time the doctor and nurse where talking amongst themselves.

Louisa stumbled out of the car and towards the Ambulance. Running; willing her legs not to give way.

Hands once again grasped her by the arms. She was turned around to face a strong chest.

Ben looked down at her, she was crying again.

"Louisa?" He held her close and took her back to the car where Abigail was just getting out.

"Ben? Their on their way," Abi's voice trembled as she said these words knowing that Ben would know who she was talking about. She took Louisa from him and held her close in her arms rubbing her back comfortably. She watched Ben run towards the upturned Ambulance and fell to her knees with Louisa still in her arms.

Ben approached the vehicle and opened one of the double doors that were in front of him sideways.

It was dark but he could see the blood on the floor. Looking around he saw the three Paramedics lay across the ground.

He checked the first ones pulse to find nothing. He would perform CPR again for the second time in one day but there were other people in need of help if they were alive.

The second next to him was another male, God, his body had been impaled with a medical instrument. Once again he checked for a pulse; none.

The last was a woman; her neck was clearly broken but nevertheless he checked her pulse but once there was none.

He looked around and spotted what he had not seen before, Riley.

He was half hanging down the side of the wall and half strapped on to the medical bed. Panic rose into Ben chest as he saw the state of his best friend. Blood poured down his right arm and out of his mouth. Cuts covered his flesh. His left arm was clearly broken in the strain of holding his wait.

Ben had never seen Riley in such condition. Ben checked his pulse as he heard Sirens holler down the road. There, it was there a slight pulse; he had to get him down.

"Hey?" Ben turned to see and middle aged man staring around him at the mess and bodies on the floor. A gash supported his forehead and a dribble of blood poured out of the side of his mouth. Ben assumed this was the driver.

The man knelt down beside his colleges before Ben stated their dead.

"Help me?" Ben asked the driver to help him support Riley as he undid the straps.

The man replied by doing just what Ben had asked.

Before they had Riley fully down more Paramedics had arrived. They took action straight away. Two guided Ben and the driver out the back of the Ambulance while three others swarmed into it.

"Mr Gates? Mr Gates?"

Ben came back to the present as Dr Gilbert alerted him to his presence.

"Mr Gates, we have the results to the illness."

This got Ben full attention but he also felt his stomach clench as if he new this was going to be bad.

"Mr Gates I am afraid the results are not good, all results have come back positive for Malaria."
