We all get into the car. The run was amazing feeling the wind blow through my fur is the most amazing feeling even though I'm covered in mud, but I don't mind. My brother and Sky never made it to the top they were spending their time making out once they were alone, so they never made it to the top of wicked falls. Well, that's just too bad for them, but there will always be next time now that Sky is a part of the family. I never really had a girlfriend hoping that Sky and I can become great friends. I don't want my brother and I to drift apart because he has a loving mate that wants to be with him. I know that my mom will help me to deal with all this mate stuff, I'm just so glad I have her. This rain is so bad it's becoming hard to see outside. I don't know how my dad can see to drive. My mom is starting to get worried about the rain I can tell she says.
“Honey, don't you think we should pull over and let the rain calm down a little, it's becoming hard to see it's already pitch black out and this rain is blinding.”
“Sandy I am fine I know how to drive why don't you just stay the passenger and not be the passenger driver my love.”
“Fine, but I'm just getting nervous not being able to see out the front of the windshield it is scary So just be careful.”
“I am being as careful as I can be my love I would never risk our lives for anything.”
Listening to my father's voice assured me that everything was fine, that in fact he did not need to pullover that he was in total control. He would have never risked our lives, even if it would hurt his manhood. He would still listen to my mom if he felt he was unable to do something. All of a sudden, I become blinded confused not being able to see a thing of what is going on then suddenly I turn upside down my body flying in every which direction as it roles.
I realize we just got hit by another car as the car is rolling I'm terrified hoping and praying that we all get out of this alive. Then I hear my mother hollering and can tell in her voice that she's horrified, and then I hear her say, “I love you guys, always remember that.” Then it almost feels like we're free-falling, it's a weird feeling I can't see outside through the windows, it's too dark out, all I see is black. The force of the car smashing is a force I have never felt it was so hard as it slams against what I believe is water not understanding how I'm still conscious the hit was so hard I'm in shock my body hurts so bad from impact I am trying to look around to see if everyone else is okay, but then I notice that they are not responding. I push on my brother, trying to wake him, but he does not budge, i check for his pulse he doesn't have a pulse no please. I yell out to everybody trying to get somebody's attention, but nobody is answering back to me then I realize it was water we went over the bridge I start to notice the car is filling up with water I become terrified not sure how to get out I tried to bust out a window, but it's not breaking. I'm still buckled I try to get my seat belt off, but it is stuck damn it I can't move I go to look up front to see my parents I can't see very well only having the moonlight that is shining through the window as light but what I do see isn't good my mother and father are not responding there is blood coming out of them seeing the water turning red realizing they are badly hurt. I scream for help but knowing no one is out there that will be able to help me. As the car is taking under more water, I'm watching as my family is going under the water, knowing I am not going to be able to save them. They won't respond to me when I scream out their names. It's like they are all sleeping I go under with the car not being able to get out I decide to accept my fate. I grab a hold of my brothers hand I kiss it as i scream in despair and close my eyes waiting for the car to fill and go under the rest of the way.
