Chapter 1
Disclaimer – Sadly I admit that I do not own the characters from ER some NBC type people do.
Summary – Carcy, re-wrote Valentines Day, full of twists and as always angst. Read and find out.
Note- lately I have been reading a lot of Carcy stories and so this is my first try at this. This first chapter is a re-write of the Valentines Day accident, which I understand has been done a lot, but it works with my main idea so yeah. It starts after Carter's conversation with Abby on the roof. I hope that you enjoy, now read on…
Carter and Abby where on their way to the admit desk to join the party when Carter noticed that Lucy hadn't sutured a leg lack that had been waiting for several hours. Carter looked around and saw no sign of Lucy, but he had a hunch on where she was. He stopped for a moment "Abby, I'll be back in a few minutes I'm just going to check on a patient." Abby smiled lightly and continued her way to the party, but stopped when she heard Carter from behind her "Hey… save me some cake" he smiled and continued to walk down the hall at a casual pace. Carter rolled up his sleeves as he neared the door. As he reached for the door he ran his free hand through his hair then proceeded.
As the door slowly opened Carter caught site of Lucy, she seemed scared. As Carter continued to open the door he saw the cause of her fear. He watched, as if in slow motion, the knife being pulled from Lucy's gut. Carter ran for Paul and tackled him to the ground, totally forgetting about the weapon. Carter was above Paul, who held the knife behind Carter's back ready to strike. Lucy yelled in horror trying to warn Carter, but before the sound escaped her paling lips she saw the knife fall. Before Carter could think of what to do next he felt the knife as it plunged into his back twice. Carter yelled for Lucy to get out, but as he peered over their assailant's shoulder he made out her still form on the floor. Carter's mind seemed to pause as he became filled with fright for Lucy. He heard the Knife as it struck the ground and watched as the door closed.
Carter pressed his hand to his back and pulled it away to see the blood covering his hand. He rolled on to his stomach and tried to get up, but found that his legs refused. He crawled in pain over to Lucy, who was on the ground by the side of the gurney. He pressed his fist to her chest to stimulate pain and her eyes fluttered open. He looked down at her wound and surveyed the room. He grabbed at a tray set up within arms length. As it hit the ground he grabbed for the cloth that covered the tray. He folded and pressed the blue cloth to Lucy's wound. "I should have been here sooner," Carter said apologetically. Lucy looked at the blood covering Carter's shirt and looked at him sadly. Carter's vision became clouded as he fought to stay awake for Lucy, but they both succumbed to their injuries as they watched each other's weakened eyes blink and close.
Note- Ok that's the beginning. I know its short, but well it's New Years Day and that's all I can muster. Please review b/c every comment helps. Thank you and have a great New Year!
