We made it, the bridge had just exploded I opened my eyes gasping for air I finally got my breathing to steady when I saw a large piece of the bridge on my right leg it hurt but I couldn't think of the pain I had to find Mr Darcy I looked around and saw him laying face down about two feet away from me I tried to get to him but the stone on my leg trapped me I used all my strength to roll the rock off of my leg gasping in pain as I did finally I was free I then crawled over to Mr Darcy and rolled him onto his back he was unconscious I lowered my head to his face and felt his faint breath on my cheek and let of a sigh of relief "the first moment I ever beheld you my heart was irrevocably gone" I said to his unconscious body "Lizzy!!"
