Chapter 1
Vanessa awoke to stunning lightning and harsh thunder. She sat up and looked out her window, it was larger than her bed. There was the whirling and winding wind of a violent tornado, over in the pasture. She ran to her younger brother's room and carried him into the basement, where they would be safe. Where is mom? She asked herself. She set her brother in his extra crib. She darted up the stairs and ran to her mother's room. It wasn't storming, but instead there was a beautiful sunrise right where there should've been a fire from lightning. Was it just a dream? She could have sworn she had seen it, but it wasn't there. She went back to her room to try and figure this mess. When she looked out here window, she saw all the rubble and dust, but she didn't see the storm. She was about to go get her brother when she had a thought, What if somebody got hurt! Vanessa ran outside, straight to the rubble of what used to be a pasture. She heard a faint help coming from what seemed a distance.
