Laughter.
A bright light.
A dead silence.
It fitted the cold, foggy night perfectly.
A state of panic was to put it precisely. Cries of pain could be heard throughout the building, as if someone were torturing an animal. It was something you only wished to happen in a movie. Medics rushed to their aid, so little few at hand. Get an iv fluid, call for more help, get surgery ready. Blood trickling down to the floor, mixing with others.
A man looked to his right. There, in front of his eyes, was a sight he never wished to ever see. A woman, his beloved, almost lifeless. So pale, so quite, so fragile looking, that was not his beloved at all. It was an empty shell.
The man fought his helpers. They desperately hold him down, they told him to relax, to lie down. He never listens. "Help her!" he yells, "I said help her!"
"Sir, clam down! We need to take care of you as well!" a medic begged, "You're bleeding profusely! There are medics with her right now! Lie down please!"
"I don't care what happens to me, just help her! For the love of god, help her!" he pushes them back with all his strength left.
"Restrain him!," yelled the leader of the medic group. It was the last resort. The man wouldn't listen to anyone.
"No! Help her! Help her! Help her, dammit!" The restrains hold him down, squeaking at the hard tugging being done to it.
He looked to his right, once again. He cannot see her, for she was surround by numerous of people. "Help her!"
He was beginning to be pushed away, from her. "No! Stop!" He didn't want to leave her side.
As he was being pulled away, he tried to look at her one more time. A medic moved out if the way, just in time, enough to see a glimpse of her face. He called out to her.
She weakly opened her eyes and met his. It only lasted for a second but seemed like a lifetime. He repeated her name again, almost in a whisper.
Then a remarkable thing happened. Throughout all the chaos, the screaming, the panic, she smiled. She smiled that smile he absolutely loved. It was weak compared to her usual smile, but her eyes, how he loved her eyes, showed her love for him. Then in a split second she was covered again by a medic and he was pulled away from her.
He yelled her name over and over again like a broken record. They placed a mask over his mouth and he shook his to avoid it, but all in vain as darkness slowly took him away.
