Evangeline was once again inside her parent's car she was sitting in the back seat her father was driving and her mother was in the passenger seat next to him, they were arguing about something and for some reason, Evangeline couldn't hear what they were arguing about or maybe she could not remember what they were arguing about.
"Eve are you listening to me once we get home you will tell us all about it, is that clear " said Eve's father "don't be so harsh on her Charles, children these days make such mistakes" said her mother trying to calm her husband down.
"don't take her to side you will spoil her like this, she needs to understand her responsibilities." replied her father angrily. "?Dad I do understand my responsibilities I am not a kid anymore." said Eve defensively.
" Then stop acting like one" spat her father turning around to look at her daughter in his range he did not see the truck coming toward them from the other side of the road. "Dad lookout" Evangeline shouted her father turned around to kick the breaks but it w as too late the truck collided with their car causing it to roll upside down causing Eve to hit her head hard on the window
The glass shattered and cut through the skin of her face and arm "Dad " she screamed but before she could say anymore another car hit theirs from behind. Their car toppled down from the highway through the edge of the road into the valley hitting hard on the rocks and rolling until it reached the edge of the cliff.
Evangeline's head was buzzing from hitting her head her arms and legs were bruised, she had sprained her neck and she was sure she had broken a bone or two. She didn't know for sure her body hurt too much and she couldn't make sense of anything, she felt dizzy and the only thought that came to her mind was of her parents.
She focused her gaze to look at her parents, their bodies were dangling upside down from their seats supported by their seat belts, they had not said a word and neither of them were moving in the slightest. They both had injuries and their blood was dripping from their bodies forming a puddle on the ground.
Eve tried to talk but no voice came out it was an effort to speak "dad are you all right" she said her voice coming out as a crock "Dad, Mom are you ok say something" neither of them moved "Dad please wake up I'm scared" said Eve her eyes were filled with tears she hoped they were only unconscious she couldn't bear the thought that was hovering at the edge of her conscience.
"mom wake up please" she said again but how can she be unconscious when her mom's eyes were wide open and they were staring at her with no sign of life in them, she didn't want to believe what she was seeing, she turned to look at her dad he was bleeding badly but his eyes were closed which meant at least there was hope. He was unconscious but if the blood keeps flowing like this she didn't know how long he would stay alive "dad mom please wake up" she said in vain.
"please someone helps us " she shouted. She didn't think anybody could hear her. Their car was at the edge of the cliff she was afraid if she moved to much they would fall further down and then there would be no hope for any of them surviving. "Help someone, anyone please help" she shouted with all her strength but what good it was if no one could come down to save them, she looked back at her mother.
"mom, please say something," she said but her mother's eyes were staring at her blankly, she turned to look at her father he was still unconscious and he was losing more blood with every passing minute and if she didn't do something soon he would be dead, she tried to take off her seat belt but it was stuck, she tried harder the car to creaked and moved causing Eve to freeze with fear, cautiously she took off her seat belt and with a thud she fell on the car roof now beneath her feet.
She moved toward her mother first she tried to wake her up but it was no use, she turned to her father instead and shook him slightly to wake him up "Dad please wake up you are scaring me" from above the cliff she could hear the sound of sirens and a helicopter, the police were here they would be safe now "Help please were down here" she cried with a bit of relief in her heart.
She moved toward the car door and tried to open I, it was gamed the only way to get out now was through the broken window and she doubted she could get through that hole, above her, she could hear the sound of a man calling" Hello can anyone hear me" the feet of a man standing on a rope ladder were visible through the window. A man stepped down from the ladder on the rocky surface of the cliff and bent down to look inside the car "mam are you alright" he asked.
"the door is gammed and my parents are unconscious please help them first my father has lost too much blood" she said pleadingly to the man "clam down miss i need to get you out first" the man said "no please save them first" she said to the man she didn't know why but she had a feeling that if she left her parents behind something worse would happen.
"please mam try to understand it would be easy for me to save them if I got you out first, please I promise I will save them as well" he said trying to reason with her "promise me you will save them" said Eve still not sure if she should leave them alone.
The man looked her in the eyes and said "I promise, now please let me help you" he opened the door and gave Evangeline his hand, Evangeline took it and with an effort tried to stand but her neck hurt and so did her left feet that was sprained, the man pulled her out of the car and tied a rope around her waist to carry her up.
" we need to get you up first" he said and signalled the helicopter to move upward, Evangeline looked back worriedly at her parents " don't worry miss we will come back for them once your safe" said the man seeing the look on Eve's face, the words had hardly left his mouth, when there was loud noise behind them of shifting rocks and the car fell down in with a loud crash.
"NO" Evangeline shouted she was sitting up right in her bed her eyes were filled with tears, it took her a moment to take in her surroundings. It was a nightmare she realized, her room was dark except for the moonlight coming from the open window. She remembered that she was home, she was safe and her parents were no longer with her.
They had died in that car crash and it was her fault, and now she was stuck with witnessing their death over and over again in her nightmares. She was so tried of it, tired of waking up every night and crying her eyes out, tired of being alive and tired of being the only one who survived.
