‘Ahh, What’s that?’

‘Get off your bed!’

I try crawling off my bed but every time I move forward, I fall back. So I

clutch my arms around my Dad and he pulls me away. I quickly get under a

door frame. Then my Mum runs to get my brother from the sleep-out. She runs

so fast I think she is flying! She got my brother and they ran back to the

house, but when they got back the earthquake had stopped. We were all so

scared we just sat on the couch for a long time.
