Georgina stood in the living room, glancing furtively from left to right. She shone the torch all around. Fear had begun to fill her entire body making her shake softly.

"Nomsa, Charlotte you can come out now." she said softly.

She wrapped her arms around herself and rubbed her arms. Ok Georgina think! People don't just disappear into thin air - not even in a storm as bad as this! Well it seemed that they had, as Nomsa and Charlotte weren't in the house. She was sure of that. She had checked all the rooms calling their names. Something was going on and Georgina didn't like it! She didn't like being frightened and she hated even more not knowing what to do. A shadow passed the window and Georgina jumped. Then a thought struck her, Nomsa must have went outside to check the generator, Charlotte scared of being alone had went with her! She almost laughed with relief. Silly goose! They weren't hiding from her and they hadn't been kidnapped by some sort of homicidal storm monster. Blast her over active imagination! She shook her head and walked outside in the rain towards the hut that held the generator. She immediately wished she had boots on instead of her slip ons, and of course brought an umbrella. Well except the threat of being struck by lightning that is.

As she approached the generator she saw two people stood in the shadows. "There you are!" she called. Shined the torch over them.

They turned…..Georgina was looking at 2 men, she had no idea who they were. They didn't look friendly! She squeaked in shock words deserted her!

One man looked at her and smiled menacingly.

"Get her!" the other barked.

Georgina who had been frozen with shock suddenly came to life. She turned and ran. Kicked off her slip ons as they were hampering. Barefoot she ran mud squidging beneath her feet. She was slipping and skidding but she kept an unrelenting pace. Regardless of her quick stride the man was advancing upon her, he was gonna catch her! O god NO! she ran harder towards the trees, if she made it there she might be able to lose him. God knows what would happen if he caught her!

The ground was trembling beneath Evan and Dupe's feet.

"Dupe!" Evan called breathlessly.

"Don't talk just run!" Dupe demanded.

"What's….."

"EVAN!" Dupe snarled.

Evan took Dupe's advice and concentrated on running. The rumbling was steadily growing louder.

Dupe hazarded a glance behind them. God the landslide was right on top of them. A bit of debris hit him in the back of the head as he turned back. He stumbled, losing his footing he stayed upright though thankfully.

Evan saw this and slowed his running turned. "Dupe?"

The mound of mud was speeding towards them. It was so close that both Dupe and Evan saw that it had the consistency of sludge.

"Keep going Ev, Faster!" Dupe pleaded.

It was no use though. The sludge enveloped them. Their feet were stolen from beneath them, they were soon being swallowed into darkness.

Danny began to panic. "Alice?" he called looking around. Continuously wiping rain from his eyes.

"ALICE!" he yelled. His hands making a cup around his mouth, straining to be heard over the pouring rain. When he realised that she wasn't going to answer his head began to spin. There were a couple of possibilities, either she couldn't hear him over the storm, she was unconscious or maybe she was de…the breath was stolen from his lungs at the thought. He forced it away, Alice wasn't dead, she'd wouldn't do that to him!

He put his hands on his head trying to remember what happened. He frowned in concentration. Ok, the lightning struck the tree and there was a flash…..he frowned harder. Alice had screamed in fear, that he could see and hear clearly…..metal groaned, then a thud as it fell to the floor - that must have been the truck door, it had been torn off. His last and most hazy memory was Alice falling. But had she fell forward onto the dash? Or sideways out of the vehicle? Sine she wasn't here she must have fell out! There was no choice to make, this was a no brainer there was no way he was leaving her alone out in the bush, no doubt hurt. Not a chance in hell! No harm was coming to her, she meant too much to him! He began to walk in the direction of the burning smouldering remains of the tree. He walked and yelled her name, a heap came into view, the truck door lain across it. He felt relief flood him and the load from his shoulders released he had found her - thank god!

Alice came to, she was sure she could hear someone calling her name faintly. She was lain on her side. She opened her eyes, something was dripping on her face. She groaned noisily as pain shafted through her back. One arm was behind her and the other was above her head. Her legs were still there. Ok so all body parts were present and accounted for. She was lain under something it seemed, it was dark everywhere. She pulled her hand from behind her and rubbed the fluid off her face. It was greasy and left a residue. Ok she had to move. She pulled her arm from above her head and screamed in pain. She looked up and started to breath heavily... Saw her arm. Well half of it the other half was invisible, trapped underneath a tyre! Christ almighty why hadn't she felt that before, the truck weighed... well she had no idea what it weighed but she knew it was heavy! Then she realised that her arm was underneath a tyre…..somehow she was underneath a truck! Memories came, the storm that was still raging, the lightning, the explosion. Danny. GOD DANNY! Where was he? Was he ok? Hurt? God was he alive? Unthinkingly she tried to sit up and hit her head off the fuel tank. More petrol leaked onto her face it also yanked her trapped arm. She cried out in pain and petrol leaked into her mouth making her cough. God she was in trouble, the fuel tank was leaking petrol on her, and her arm was crushed under a tyre! Thunder flashed and rumbled.

First of all Alice had to get herself away from the leaking petrol. She twisted and wiggled until her feet were visible from underneath the truck. Tears streamed down her face, pain was throbbing through her trapped arm. God would she even be able to use it again? How long had it been trapped. God! An explosion rocked the truck, Alice felt the vibrations in the ground. The truck shifteded from the force of the blast, Alice screamed in pain - then suddenly smelled smoke. The thought of pain was wiped from her brain and the dots began to connect in her mind smoke meant fire, and she was doused in petrol. She craned her head so she could see from under the truck. She was filled with horror when she saw the tree beside her truck was burning. The pouring rain was having no effect on dousing it. It was too hot! She was trapped underneath a truck covered in petrol, O my God she was gonna be…she couldn't finish the thought. No way! She wasn't having that happen. Her daughter needed a mother. She was too young, she had too much to accomplish! Even though she knew it was gonna hurt she began yanking at her arm - trying frantically to get it from underneath the unyielding wheel. Alice knew straight away that this was an impossible task, but she had to try!
