Chapter 4
Upon the mountaintop, something was happening. The wind whipped up the sand and the clouds swirled overhead. A bolt of lightning hit the peak...
Bowman's head throbbed violently and his vision darkened. He hit the floor...
Sisi ran over to him. She shook his lifeless body. She stroked his face.
Siri came out of her bedroom. "What's going...Dad!!!" she shrieked. Tears came to her eyes. "Fal, go get Granddad and Pin!" she screamed. Sisi burst into tears violently. Ira did not understand what was going on and carried on eating his slice of bread.
Pinto and Mumpo awoke late and kissed passionately. They smiled at each other and Pinto got dressed. Mumpo waited for her return.
Pinto looked extremely shocked when she saw Falcon standing in the doorway panting. Immediately, she knew what had happened.
"Aunt Pin!" she panted. She tried to catch her breath. "It's Dad!"
"Bo!" she gasped. "It's here...The wind." She ran out of the door, sprinting as fast as she could. Her heart raced faster that she could run. She panted and her chest seared with pain. She ran through the doorway to Bowman's body. She looked at his pale face. She did not say anything, but simply ran out of the door and looked up at the mountaintop. The sky was red and full of flames.
"Kess!" she shouted. She was hoping for an answer, but nothing came. She turned away from the mountaintop and ran back inside. She touched Bowman's face and looked at Sisi and shook her head. Bowman was dead.
