Chapter 5

Time was my enemy. I really had to hurry now, Elliot was seconds away from all eternal hell. I had to do something, and fast. I reached for the glacier with my huge talons. I pushed as hard as I could, trying to move the boulder off of Elliot. I couldn't do it alone. I glanced over to where Jack was, he had to help me. And luckily he got my memo. Jack helped me push the boulder off of Elliot. And just in time. We grabbed Elliot's body quick enough to hear the loud boom of that glacier crashing into a huge truck on the highway. Man, I'd hate to be that guy.

Once we had landed we all changed back to normal. But Elliot was still out cold. I started to panic. What if he had a concussion? What if he was in a coma? What if he was... dead?! No! Stop it Riley! It was too much to think about. Suddenly Elliot's chest began to rise and fall at an alarming pace. "He's alive!" I screamed. "We need to take him to the hospital. He may be alive but he's already almost half-dead. Hey where's Carter?" Jack shrugged. I put my fingers in my ears. A loud blaring noise made my head pound. I had to squint just to see the three vehicles headed for us.

"What the hell?" Once the vehicles came closer to us I could see Carter sitting in the front seat of a red and white ambulance. He must've gone to get help. Jack picked Elliot up and we ran towards the ambulance. Two men in blue uniforms burst out of the ambulance and came running over to us. They placed Elliot's body on a long, white stretcher. I covered my mouth with my hands as I watched Elliot being wheeled away into the ambulance.
