Rei smelled blood. The metallic taste was in her mouth
enveloping her senses. Sirens blared, but the throbbing of her head hurt so bad
she didn’t have the will to open her eyes. She had to open them. The accident,
her last thought before being suffocated by the chilled waters beneath the
bridge where they’d crashed, was that her sister, EmVee was thrown from the
van. Her brother hit his head; Dexter was drowning. Her mom and her twin
brother what happened to them? Reece, her the accident, it was her fault. She
had to save them, get them away from here. She struggled
and jerked, feeling if she was fighting to get out of the suffocating waters of
the lake.
“Ah!” She fought the pain that coursed through her
entire body and pushed herself up. Rei’s trembling hands braced herself on the
hard cot in what appeared to be the inside of an ambulance.
“They are on us!” a gruff curse from a medic behind
her yelled. The ambulance sharply whipped to the side.
Rei slid off the hard bed, her knees buckled when she
hit the floor. “God! Ah.” She willed herself to stand and pushed her back up
against the wall, wincing at the burn in her side and on her head. She opened
her eyes; one was bandaged closed, but the other she could see clearly through
a hole in the covering over her head. Everything on her hurt, but suddenly an
energy she couldn’t explain rushed through her in waves, dulling the pain,
giving her focus.
The crouching medic held on to a rounded looped strap
in the corner of the ambulance van. The medic pointed a gun through the broken
glass window of the back-double doors. Several pops sounded and the doors flew
open. Someone was shooting at them? At an ambulance? Why? Rei crawled
backwards, grimacing at the pain.
“I can’t die today.” Rei searched for something to
hold onto and a weapon, anything she could use. The bed slammed the opposite
side of the ambulance, then surged at her. Rei dropped to the floor barely in
time to keep her head attached to her neck.
