"We have to get out of here. Now! Everyone, run!" Denella demanded.

"What's wrong?" Raphael inquired.

"I don't know where, but there's a bomb somewhere around or in the supermarket. We have to find it!" she yelled.

Raphael ordered Henry to go and look for the bomb while him and Denella got everyone out to safety. Brandon ran after Henry.

Denella saw Brandon leave. "Brandon, where are you going?" But he was too far and couldn't hear her.

Denella felt as if she was having a panic attack. Her breathing was deep and she was sweating like there was no tomorrow. Brandon went to look for the bomb with Henry. What if they didn't find it and it exploded? Denella couldn't take her mind off of Brandon. Why was she so worried about him when she couldn't even stand him in the beginning? She didn't know what to do. Every time she blinked, she saw black. It was as if outer space was taking over her vision. The next thing she knew, she was seeing images of two people in her mind, a man and a women. Next, a child appeared in the arms of the women; a baby girl. It was a family. She recognized the baby girl. It looked a lot like her.

Denella had hazel eyes like the mother and she had the father's nose. Then, she saw the couple singing happy birthday to her when she was one year old. She felt like she had known these people, like they were somehow connected to her. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she could hear Raphael's voice calling her, breaking her thoughts.

"Denella, are you okay? Denella?" He called.

She was standing there, staring into space. It really did look like outer space had taken over her mind, too. Before she could say anything, a deafening, gigantic sound filled her ears. Raphael quickly grabbed her and pulled her behind the blue Ford car that was behind them. She accidentally banged her head against the car door. Denella's ears were ringing and there ached so much. She couldn't hear anything or even see anything because of the smoke. There was fire and panic everywhere. The peoples' screams resembled the sound a dying cat would make. The flames were as red and hot as the magma coming out of a erupting volcano. The black smoke was starting to rise. Elmer's supermarket was gone.

It felt like it had been forever since the bomb. Denella still couldn't hear properly, but she could still hear the sounds of sirens in the distance. She turned around to see that there were bodies of people just lying there on the ground. She could still make out the cries for help beyond the smoke. All she smelled was smoke. Then, she saw the red and blue lights flashing from many police cars, ambulance and fire trucks that were there. There were people being sped away to the hospital. She turned to her other side and all she saw was an injured Raphael. His arm was bruised, probably from trying to save her.
