"I'm sorry guys." I muttered.
We were sitting on the roof of my house.
We each were holding a chicken on our head and holding the legs of a baby cow and a sheep.
Kai sighed.
"Couldn't be helped. So now what do we do?" he asked calmly like we were doing something ordinary.
Carter however was not so calm.
"Damn it! How are we going to get down! Nicko if were going to save ourselves we have to sacrifice the animals!"
Kai shook his head.
"There's got to be another way." He muttered.
They both turned to me.
I had no ideas.
All my ideas usually sucked.
Celia's were good so I went with her advice more often than mine.
That's also the only reason we were up on this roof.
The water was rushing into the farm quickly as we tried to leave.
So we quickly climbed up my house while having chicken's on our heads and pulling up a calf and sheep as well.
Kai however looked thoughtfully at the water rising above my door.
"Nicko your house is probably going to be destroyed."
I rolled my eyes.
"Thanks for that information Kai."
Kai nodded ignoring the sarcasm in my voice.
"Well lets take these shingles off the roof. We wait for the water to get higher and we just simply get on top of them with the animals. Like a boat."
I thought about it.
"That could work. Come on lets get this stuff off my roof."
The guys and I turned around starting to tear my roof apart.
"I'm so glad I have a bank account in Harmonica Town." I mumbled under my breath.
Carter looked down at the rushing water.
"We have to hurry! It's almost up the top of the roof!"
I tore at the shilling's faster, pulling with all my might.
But as the sounds of rushing water and the wind blocked my ability to think of the best way to pull shingles.
The only thing what could think of was what I did to deserve this.
How could Leia be so cruel?
I thought mermaids were nice forgiving people.
"Guess not." I muttered pulling on the shingles harder.
One last tug and the shingles flew free of the roof.
I jumped on quickly.
"Carter! Kai! Get on!" I called loudly over the wind hoping they would hear me.
Carter quickly grabbed the side of the shingle pulling himself and two of my chicken's on to it.
Grabbing the calf, who was mooing frantically we heaved her on the piece of plastic that used to be on my roof.
"Kai!" I yelled as the roof gave a sudden lurch.
I saw a sudden flash of one of my best friends falling over the side of the roof.
Suddenly the roof caved in and I began to fall towards the rushing water.
And I knew that this was probably the end of my life.
As I fell images of Celia and Mark clouded my mind until I saw nothing but darkness.
