Hey all,
Thank you all for your lovely reviews. A guest mentioned that Connie possibly had her fall broken by a load of trees in order to survive and my mum thinks that they will end up on the edge of a lower cliff and it's a race against time to save them before the car topples over. Who knows, both really good suggestions.
After Connie blacked out, Ethan looked up at the small falling stones coming off the cliff. He began to think. Services might not get to them in time and they had a load of heavy rocks that could fall on them any second.
"Charlie. We need to go. Now!" Ethan instructed. Charlie looked confused, then heard the sound of a small rock that fell on the bonnet. He knew what Ethan meant now.
"Have you cleared Connie's neck and back?" Charlie asked.
"No, I can't tell from here but we need to move her and Grace." Ethan answered whilst he still had his hands on Connie's head.
"Okay." Charlie spoke then looked at a scared Grace. "Right Grace, you are going to come with me. Okay?" Grace looked at Charlie and relaxed, she knew she could trust him of course. She put her arms around Charlie's neck as Charlie got his hands under Grace's legs as he began to hoist her out the car.
"What about mum?" Grace asked. Charlie stopped and looked at Ethan who looked back at him.
"Don't worry. Ethan will look after her." Charlie smiled. Grace looked at Ethan.
"Of course I will." Ethan smiled at Grace. Grace then let Charlie pull her out the car and quickly walked away whilst Grace whimpered in pain from her legs.
"Alright, darling." Charlie soothed as he got Grace away from the car. Ethan turned his attention back to Connie.
"Alright, Mrs Beauchamp. Let's take this slow okay?" Ethan may of looked a bit weird talking to an unconscious person but he had to try and see if Connie could hear him. Ethan darted his head up when he heard a loud rumble of a big rock that could fall at any second, he had to get Connie out now.
Ethan stretched over and unclipped Connie's seatbelt. He got half her body out the car but Connie's foot was stuck in between two pedals that were crush together, trapping her right foot.
"Okay." Ethan huffed. He placed Connie back in the car seat and went to free her foot. He struggled for a bit as it was wedged in between the pedals. He pulled the gas pedal towards him as it snapped off.
Charlie stood in the distant as he held Grace, he watched as Ethan tried to get Connie out. He wanted to help but he couldn't as he had to keep Grace calm, as she whimpered and cried still.
"Sh Sh Sh. It's alright." Charlie soothed Grace as he placed her hand on the back of her head to comfort her. Grace looked up at the cliff with the rocks on. She still feared for her mum's life.
Ethan freed Connie's foot. He smiled in relief.
"Right, Mrs Beauchamp. Let's get you out of here." Ethan smiled still, then he heard Charlie.
"ETHAN!" Charlie shouted. Ethan looked at Charlie then looked up to see the boulder starting to fall off the edge.
Quickly, Ethan put Connie's right arm over his shoulders, he heard the boulder getting closer as he began to drag her out the car with her head leaning on him slightly. Once Connie's lower half was out the car. Ethan dragged her quickly before picking her up and running away whilst carrying her in bridal style.
He ran to Charlie and Grace and fell on his knees as the sound of the boulder, forcefully landed on the car scared him. Whilst Grace scream in fear and with the echo taking Ethan and Charlie's breath away.
Ethan placed Connie on the floor slowly then looked back at the smashed up car with the boulder resting on it.
Charlie looked on at the car then hugged Grace tighter as she cried still.
Sorry if this chapter was a bit daft with rocks falling on the car but I thought it would seem cool. Plus, I wanted some hero Ethan since I haven't done that in a while. Also sorry if some medical stuff is incorrect etc.
See you in the next chapter : )
