Force of the Volcano

Lily The air turned black around me. I can't see the words of the book I am reading. I get off my bed and clumsy make my way over to my window through my mess to see what's going on. I wonder why the air turned black as I look out the window. That's when I hear a loud boom that make me jump. As my heart beats really fast I look outside and see people pushing and shoving, shouting fills the silence. I don't know why but I look over to the mountains and see one of them smoking. I scream and run as fast as I can downstairs to find my mom. Once I get downstairs I see mom already looking out the window. When mom finally looked at me she said "go get Addy and Oliver out of his crib." I ran as fast as I could to Addy's room. She usually hates when I go into her room but I think she could make an acception for today. I open the door and looked around for her. Once I found her I could see the fear in her eyes. I couldn't find my voice so I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the hallway, I pointed over to mom.  She understood and made her way towards mom, while I hurried to get Oliver.  Outside his room I could hear him snoring. As quietly as I could I crept in and carefully picked him up making sure not to wake him. I hurried back to mom and Addy, Oliver clutched close to my chest. I gave Oliver to mom as we hurried out the door. Outside the screaming and crying was deafing. With all the people in the street pushing and shoving I fell down and scraped up my knees. Once I get back up I couldn't find Addy or mom and Oliver. I continue to walk the same direction I was heading before to try and find them. I eventually get out of the village were the crowd breaks. Suddenly I hear "Lily, Lily where are you?!", it was Addy. "Over hear" I try to yell back but my voice is hoarse and comes out like a whisper. I tried again and she heard me. She was waving from a small group of people a little farther away. I finally joined her. We walk along with the small group. I hear a baby crying so I look over my shoulder to see if it was mom holding Oliver. I get disappointed when I  see a woman I don't know holding a baby in pink, it wasn't mom nor Oliver. We continue to scan the people exiting the village as we walk. After little a while I start to loose hope. Addy suggested to sit down for a while. We sit and watch people coming out of the village as our group continues without us. I feel like I'm about to cry while Addy tries to calm me down. We decide that we probably missed her so instead of watching the entrance of the village we wonder around to look for her and Oliver. As we look for her I saw a few people from the village but they weren't her. I hear another baby cry but when I looked around I didn't see a baby. The cry seemed to be my own imagination. But out the corner of my eye I see something along the tree line  move. I look back over to the entrance of the village and see mom holding Oliver looking lost.  I yank my hand away from Addy's and full on run almost crying as I approach mom and Oliver. " where are you going?" Addy yells with a hint of frustration and worry.  She seemed to answer her own question as she realized where I was heading. She also began to run. My foot catches on a hole in the ground and face plant on to the ground, I'm still a little ways from mom and Oliver. Addy stops beside me trying to catch her breath. "Are you ok?" Addy asked. As I sit up I can see mom rushing over with Oliver crying in her arms. Addy helps me to my feet. My cuts started bleeding again. The scprapes stung from all the dirt that had been caked in them. When mom reaches us, she gasps as she looks my legs. She quickly gave Oliver to Addy. "Are you okay?" Mom asks as she inspects my legs.  "I think I'm fine." I answer. "How did this happen?" "On the streets from all the people pushing and shoving." "Can you walk?" "I think so." But when I try walking I gasp in pain because of my ankle. I had sprained it. I continued walking since I didn't want mom to worry more. As we walk little pebbles begin to fall like rain. "We needed to find some shelter but the village isn't safe," mom says. We look around for some sort of safe place. I feel exhausted from everything that had happened with the first early hours of today .  We take a break from looking by a stream. I washed the dirt and dried blood from my legs. I shake my legs trying to get them as dry as possible. I sit down and watch as the pebbles fall into the water. Someone is shaking my shoulder, I open my eyes feeling drowsy. "Lily wake up it's time to find some shelter," Addy said. I look around and everything came back to me. I yawn and look down at my legs to see how the cuts are doing as well as my ankle. My ankle had swelled up while I was sleeping. Addy helps me up and we start wondering again.  We found a few places that looked like they would be just fine to shelter us from the volcano but none of which were big enough for the four of us. I keep a lookout for a place big enough while walking but I could not find anything. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a big tree that no one was using it wasn't much but it could give us a little protection for now. I tap Addy and point over to the tree. She nods and gets mom's attention. We walk over to the tree, lay down and fall asleep.
