What happens after 8x9 "Dark was the night". Will be a continuing story centering around Teddy, Meredith and Alex.
Alex POV
I was so wrapped up in carrying the baby's equipment I didn't even notice Meredith standing stiff outside the ambulance until I bumped into her. Pain shot through my back, it had been aching ever since I was thrown across the ambulance.
"What are you waiting for, another car to hit us? Get out of the way!" I couldn't help frustration from seeping into my voice, this had been one shitty day.
"Alex, look," she said solidly. I bent my head as I was still on the freaking ambulance step. Through the pouring rain I saw three bodies lying on the ground next to an RV that was on fire.
"Holy crap! Move!" I yelled as Meredith stepped out of the way and I raced towards the bodies. I fell to my knees next to the nearest one, lifting it's wrist to my ear as fast as I could. Silence. Shaking my head I made my way to the next one, and the next, struggling to lean down with me back. Slowly I stood up.
"They're all dead Mere."
Meredith's forehead creased like it usually did when she was worried. "It's not our fault Alex, the ambulance-" that was as far as she got before I cut her off.
"They're DEAD Grey, they ain't coming back! Do you think they would really care who's freaking fault it was? Three people are dead all because of this stupid ambulance and this storm!" I picked up a rock, throwing it at the flaming vehicle.
"Alex are you crazy? That thing could have exploded! We have a baby with us. Alex! Look at me."
"Shhh!" I said leaning toward the RV.
"Alex! What are you doing?"
"I..I think I heard a voice come from the inside." We exchanged shocked expressions as I continued to step close to the flames.
"Alex, you can't go in further, it's too dangerous."
"I have to. I know someones in there, I can feel it!" I'd made up my mind and I started walking towards the opening end of the figure.
"Alex come back! Stop!" Meridith's warnings became fainter and fainter the farther I went. Thank fully she couldn't exactly come after me with a baby in her arms.
I touched the inside of the still hot RV. I could defiantly hear crys of help coming from back. Having no choice, I started to climb in on my hands and knees. My spinal cord practiclly screamed in pain as I went further. I rose up and finally I could see the victim, a small blonde girl trapped under what used to be a car seat. Her whole body was trapped and she was crying and screaming at the same time. When her eyes saw me they widened and she screamed a scream of terror. I realized standing in front of a rainstorm with blood running down my face might not give a little girl the best impression of me.
"It's okay! I'm a doctor, I'm here to help you!" I called. Her eyes relaxed but she still remained frantic.
"Then help me!" she cried before bursting into tears again. Grasping the walls to move forward, I finally reached the seat that was crushing her. I gripped the two sides, knowing this would destroy my back even beyond Callie's repair. On 3 I heaved, using my wrestling days strength to help lift the seat off the little girl and throw it to the side. I gasped in pain as I felt my back bones grind together and make me pay for what I just did. Ignoring the crippling ache I turned to the girl.
"Can you stand kid?" I muttered through clenched teeth.
"I...ah it hurts!" The girl seemed to be burned at the chest. She didn't seem too bad off besides the bruises and scrapes but obviously the shock of the crash seemed too much for her to handle. I realized would have to carry her.
"You're going to have to let me carry you out okay? This is very dangerous, we need to be safe!" I yelled over the sound of the storm.
"D-dangerous? No, please. I-I just want my mommy and dad. Please I just want to go home." The girl hiccuped and tears ran down her cheek. My mind immediately went to the three corpses on the street, one had long blonde hair, it had to be the girls mom. My stomach flip-floped as I realized this girl was completely alone now. Her whole family had been thrown out of the car while she got trapped on the inside. If she found that out she would have a panic attack right here and now. I had to get her out of the car before she found out.
"Look kid, just let me carry you. You need to be safe in order to go home." Finally she nodded shakily and whispered "mommy". I sighed as I lifted her while crawling back out of the hot viechle. My back made it's usual protests of pain. I managed to successfully bring her out of the car, where Merideth was waiting. Her eyes went huge as she saw the shivering human in my arms.
"Oh my gosh," she said with her mouth open.
"I'll say," I muttered. I suddenly started to see stars in front of my eyes and the world began to spin. There's light coming into the darkness and I see blurry images.
"Alex, Alex!" I hear Merideth's voice but I have no idea where it's coming from as I fall to the ground.
The last thing I see are flashing red lights.
