Chapter 12

I ran out into the ruined streets. A lot of the buildings were broken and falling. The wind blew, and it wasn't warm. I heard some of the leaves blowing in the wind. I looked around. It all reminded me of the dark room I was kept in during my time as a test subject. I then saw my not real parents' house. It was broken. I searched through the rubble and found my sketchbook. I held it to my chest.

Suddenly, I heard a cry for help. I ran to it. A woman was stuck in the rubble of a building. I went and pushed away some of the rocks. I went over there and took her waving hands. I started pulling. I felt the super strength running through me. I pulled the woman out. "Thank you so much!" she exclaimed. She hugged me. I smiled. She let go and ran towards three people trying to help someone else. The woman started to help. Good thing she wasn't injured. I ran towards the heart of the city, which a lot of people were helping and being rescued.

I then saw a man trying to dig under rubble. I ran to him. "Please, help me get my wife and two kids out," he said desperately. I nodded. I started pushing away rubble. The man helped too. Then I saw one of his kids, an eight year old girl. She wasn't awake, so I carefully pulled her out. She was barely breathing.

"Bring her to the hospital, and I'll help the others," I told the man. He picked up his daughter and sprinted towards the tent. I dug and found the wife. She was barely awake, and I helped her climb out. She smiled at me and I helped her sit down. I started digging in the rubble again. The woman looked at me funny. "I'm trying to find your other child," I told her. She jumped up and frantically starting digging.

"Who did you save already?" she asked.

"Your daughter," I responded. She looked at me, dug and bit.

"Jerry!" she screamed. I dug with her as we searched for Jerry. I finally found a hand. I dug around and saw Jerry. He wasn't even four yet. I picked him up. His mother took him from me. "You'll be okay," she whispered in his ear. Tears were running down her face. I checked his heart. He wouldn't make it if he didn't get help soon. I took him and ran towards the tent. His mother ran after me. As soon as he is taken by a doctor, I head out again.

Soon, I find someone else in trouble. I saw their hand coming out from the rubble. I undue them as quickly as possible. Only to find Vicky. She looked at me. "You!" she yelled. She pushed me into the rubble. "Thanks for saving me! Not!" she yelled at me. She ran away from me. As I was getting up, an aftershock hits. I try to stand, but I fall down. More rubble falls down like giant boulders. I was stuck. The last thing I saw was Aiden running towards me.
