CHAPTER 5: The Nightmare Happens

Emmett's P.O.V.

About a week into our trip dad was saying at dinner one night that we needed to be careful when going far away from camp. With concern in his eyes we knew something was wrong, he went on to say he has found grizzly tracks and lots of them. Grizzly bears were not uncommon for this area but dad did worry to much sometimes. Little did I know this would be the last time our family would be together as a whole. The next day thing went just like every other day. My older brothers went fishing, Jaysen and I were playing the roles of the family sleepy heads…. again. Dad had already left and mom was in her rocker working on her latest quilt likes always. The only thing different is that today I can start teasing my sister about her 17th birthday, it's Jaysen's too but he didn't really like celebrating his birthday much.

When I got up my mom had a shocked expression on her face. I looked at my mom and said "Heaven sakes mom it's not the 1st time I've slept in."

"I know" she said "but I thought you were with your father. I sent your sister after you. She was really happy this morning, she wanted to fill you in on everything you missed in the last two months. I do believe your in for it now." She said with that famous 'I told you so' smile.

"What! It's not safe for her to be out there alone and why didn't you wake me up anyway. We could have been fishing by now. Two months mom, It's been two long months. I mean fishing wish Jaysen was not the greatest thing to do. He wouldn't stop reading his books and he even lost Michaela's favorite pole to. She's going to have a massive fit when she finds out. "

" Like I said, she wanted to spend the day with you. So I told her you went out with dad, she was only about 15 min. behind you. I told her it was ok. She left an hour ago, I think you better get a move on it son." With a glowing smile on her face she just looked at me and said "You are 45 minutes late." I think my mom is enjoying this. With that I got dressed as fast as I could, gave mom a quick kiss on the forehead and shouted back at her while running to catch up with dad and Michaela that

"I love you"

"You too son, don't forget tomorrow is their birthday"

At that time I wasn't given a reason to panic but I was worried. I slowly made my way to where my dad was and as soon as I realize that she was nowhere to be found. I began to worry more. I confirmed my worst nightmare when our eyes meet and then he knew something was wrong. My dad said with a deep worried voice,

"What's wrong, is everything okay".

"It will be if you say that Michaela is with you. Just say she is in a tree or sitting somewhere close drawing something like always. Just say she is here with you."

"She's not with me, when I left this morning she was in her tent asleep. Did you check her tent before coming out here!"

"Of course I did dad, mom said she sent her out her so she could spend the day with me, mom thought I was already up and waiting for you by the lake."

"Well, I haven't seen her all morning."

He hasn't seen her all morning! Did I really hear him correctly, what could of happened? As a hundred things started going through my mind, I kept thinking she's lived with four brothers her entire life, she's okay. But saying "she's okay" couldn't stop the amount of worry that was running through me. I told my dad that I was going to the lake; I would be back later with Michaela and not to worry. As I was going to the lake I could hear my dad say "see you soon."

I got to the lake and once again my sister was nowhere to be found and my brothers had not seen her all morning either. The worry only got worse, with that I had to tell my brothers what mom and dad said. With the looks in their eyes, they were thinking the same thing I was. But none of us wanted to say it. Our sister was LOST. This was my fault, if I wouldn't have taken my sister everywhere I went or let her do anything she wanted to do when we did things, the list just went on and on and on. Ryan looked at me and said don't worry she's back at camp and in her tent or something.

We walked into camp and by now mom was pacing with dad while jaysen was still sleeping I swear he could sleep all day. We were all there except Michaela. Mom started to cry and with that Jaysen woke up and was out of his tent in a heartbeat.

"What's wrong, what's going on, what did I miss."

"Michaela is missing that's what and we can't find her" I had to find the courage to say the word missing.

"Why are you waiting until now to wake me up?"

"We were not for sure until now." I told him, he just look at the three of us, he is diffently mad now. That's one thing that they share. When they get mad there is no living with them.

"Okay kids lets find your sister, Ryan and Emmett you search from here to were you found me this morning, Jaysen and Tyler you search from here to the lake and around in that area. Your mom and I will search where I was at yesterday. Meet back here at sundown. I mean it boys, Even if Michaela is not with you I want you back at camp by sundown. Everything will be okay."

I don't think I have every heard him say anything in that tone of voice before. You know the tone, army drill sergeant and with that we were off. By now we only had a couple of hours to look for her. Hopefully that is all we needed but knowing Michaela if she was lost, then it was going to take us a while to find her. I mean sometimes she could get lost in her own back yard. While panic was still on our faces, time flying past us and the sun beginning to set. We had no choice we had to go, so we headed back to camp. When we got there Jaysen and Tyler were already there and you could hear out parents coming up behind us. We were all standing there for only second when mom fell to her knees and broke down, while worry slide across our faces. Ryan started to panic along with Tyler and I. Jaysen started to spit out what we all were thinking.

"She's out in the woods, by herself, there are wild animals, what about the grizzly's, we have to find her now. We can't wait! What do we do now, it's dark and she's so little, and by now I bet you she is starving. You know how she get's when she is hungry. And if she is sleepy, you know gets cranky. She can't leave me; I cant be a twin without her. You have to let us go back out dad. You can't…"

Dad interrupted him quilkly not letting him get another word out "everything is going to be fine."

We were all worried but we all had the hope that dad was right. As Jaysen and Tyler gather the wood to make the fire, mom started to explain the outburst Jaysen made, saying that it is a twin thing. She has read a couple of studies on twins, the studies seem to agree saying that most of them had a need to stay close to one another. It's very hard to explain she said. I tried to give them their own rooms a couple of times but it never worked. I waited until they were 13 years old and tried again. How ever, there were still times that they ended up in one room. That is why there is a cot in each of their rooms and I guess is the reason why Jaysen always brings an extra sleeping bag when we go camping. You could tell she was telling stories to keep her mind off of things. She was telling one, than another, and another. Ryan was helping dad make dinner and I went off to check her tent to see if by some chance she was there but no luck.

We all had trouble sleeping that night, when the day began to creep up we were all up and ready to go. Dad gave us teams again and we were off. Mom shouted out "your dad and I love you Boys". One by one we shouted back I love you too, those were the last words that I said to my parents. We were walking for what seemed to be hours when we saw something shinny on the trail that we were on. Ryan ran after it but it was nothing but the sun hitting a rock.

Not far ahead we found her shoe, there was blood, my heart began to sink. It was not a lot but just enough to make us both panic, by this time we knew there were only a few hours left before the sun was going to set. I remember telling Ryan to go after dad and I would stay here to keep the spot. With that being said Ryan was off in a hurry and I began shouting her name over and over again. With no luck and me to be walking in what I thought was circles I decided to sit and think. Clear my head, make a plan of action, do something instead of nothing. All of a sudden you could hear someone crying, my heart stopped and I became hopeful. The closer I got the louder the sound became and the calmer I became as the hope filled me.

Then it happened, out of nowhere a grizzly came at me. As I turned to run in the other direction I saw her, she was laying on her side up against a tree, she was dirty and all scraped up from the looks of things. She kind of looked like a broken doll in a way. About that time I began to feel the worst pain I have ever felt, as I turned around another sharp pain shot up and down my body, then another one. As I fell to the ground I knew the bear caught up to me, it was going to kill me. I tried over and over to get away and with each attempt the bear kept on attacking. Screams filled the air, the pain I saw in my sister eyes was horrible. It was like being in a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. I couldn't protect her from this, I couldn't protect her from the pain, I knew I was going to die; I knew my sister would live with this for the rest of her life. I heard her screams, while she hiding against the tree frozen with pain and fear. I must have blacked out; it was if I was in a dream state or something, maybe I was. I don't know maybe I was taking the long way to heaven. The 1st thing I remember was seeing an angel, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, I heard her say in the softest voice

"Everything will be okay, I'm here to help." "Don't be frighten, you will be okay soon."

That was my last human memory.

Below is an entry from my Sister's Journal. How could such a happy beginning to a day end so wrong.

"Its bright and early, you could hear my older bothers as they played around while getting everything ready for the daily fishing trip. They have tried many times to teach me how to put worms on hooks but it is so nasty. Emmett dose it for me, they wont. Mom was saying bye to dad and with that I thought it would be nice to spend the day with him and Emmett, maybe we could go fishing or find a "perfect spot". My book has not had anything added in a while. It's about time I forgave my brother, I think I have put him through enough. Why do I have to be the baby of the family, I'm even the shortest. But I am almost grown and in one day I will be 17. So I better just suck it up and deal with it. I have hundreds of thing to tell Emmett, he has missed so much lately. Even though he is my brother, he is also my best friend. I cant wait for this day to begin….more to come….."

I hope you all enjoyed and let me know what you think. Please review. Coming soon Emmett's meets his angel.
