Jack flew by the Bennett's house and checked every window. No one was home.
-BOOM-
He turned around and saw a huge cloud of smoke and fire erupt from the middle of town.
"No..." He said as he sank to the ground. He looked up at the cloud and his eyes widened in shock as he saw a figure falling from the sky. Now that had to be her, but her wings stayed to her side and she wasn't slowing down. He got worried and flew off in her direction.
He made it to the site of the disaster and his eyes scanned the area for their car but he needed to get out if the way of the smoke to see better. He shifted to the left and got a good look at what the source of the explosion was and his heart stopped. It was Ms. Bennett's car.
"NO!" He yelled. He flew down To the flames. He put his sleeve up to his face and ran into the fire (which was something winter sprite shouldn't do.) The flames warming his skin in an uncomfortable way.
"LIZZIE, JAMIE, SOPHIE. YOU IN THERE?" He yelled over the crackling of the fire. He looked inside the car and saw a very distorted figure hunched over the wheel. He got a closer look and put his hand over his mouth and his eyes turned glossy. It was Ms. Bennett.
Clinking came from the engine and all of a sudden another explosion took place and blew Jack into the street and made him land on his back. Layering his hair and hoodie with ash. He looked at the car again. It was too late to save her.
"Jack!" Yelled Jamie who ran up to his waist and hugged it tight and wept. Jack was relived so far one of them was alright. He kneeled down to his height and returned the hug whispering calming words.
"Where is Lizzie and Sophie?" Asked Jack as he held Jamie by the shoulders in front of him. Jamie led Jack to a large crater in the concrete with Lizzie in the middle unconscious.
"Lizzie!" He yelled as he ran up to her. Sophie sat by her head holding her broken arm with tears staining her face. That was two. But he was going for a 3. Lizzie's wounds were bad. She had a large piece of glass stuck in her lower stomach area and had scorched skin. The yellow of her shirt was stained with the same color red as her beanie. Jack stuck two fingers under her jaw on her neck and sighed In relief when he felt a heart beat. Her eyes cracked open and She turned over on her side and coughed violently.
"Lizzie? Lizzie can you hear me?" He asked as he held her in his arms. She stopped coughing and peered into his eyes.
"Y-yea, I can" she said. She looked down at the piece of glass in her lower abdomen and winced in pain. Jack's relived expression turned into one of worry but she quickly looked at Jack and flashed him smile.
"Don't worry don't worry I'm okay." She said as she tried to get up but lost her balance and Jack caught her in time.
"Come on Lizzie, your hurt." He said as he held her close by her shoulders and looked her in the eye. She met his gaze and sighed. He saw something in her perfect orbs. It was a combination of fear and guilt. Guilt for what?
"Come on, lets go to the pole and get you to the medical wing." He said as the ambulance pulled up followed by a fire truck. She knelt down to Jamie who comforted his sniffling sister and looked up to her and met her gaze.
"Your gonna be okay with the ambulance? Like do you have a cover story?" She asked
"Don't worry, I know what to say. " he said a he nodded and took Sophie's hand.
She stood back up and turned to Jack. "Let's go." She said taking one last look behind her. At the car. At the semi. At the fire. And at the ambulance but stopped in her tracks. Her eyes wide. She quickly made her wings fade into her body. Jack looked at her confused. It was just someone getting out of the ambulance truck. The man looked around and spotted them with a flash light.
"Survivors! I found survivors!" He yelled. Then six more people poured out of the truck carrying a gurney and other equipment. They ran over to Jamie and Sophie.
"Are you all alright?" Asked the man with the flashlight. He bent down and examined Sophie's arm. Then he looked up at Lizzie and Jack.
He could see them.
