The wind picked up and a cool breeze enveloped them just as the stars rapidly disappeared behind a band of dark clouds. Lightning flashed in the sky.
"Wow! The weather sure changed quickly," Vanessa observed.
Emma studied the sky. "Looks like we’re in for a bad one. Probably what they predicted for last night. We’d better put the fire out and get back inside the cabin before it starts raining."
Vanessa followed Emma’s lead and began scrambling to throw piles of dirt on the fire. They’d just doused it when a deafening crack of thunder rumbled across the sky followed by the first cold drops of rain.
"Come on," Emma said grabbing Vanessa’s hand as a bright flash of lightening zigzagged across the sky lighting the path in front of them.
They were almost to the cabin when Emma’s boot caught under a dead tree root and she went sprawling face first onto the ground. Excruciating pain shot through her ankle.
