I once thought, that I had all the time in the world. Sometimes in silly depression, I wished that my time would end sooner.
The darkness felt empty as it was wrapped around me like a blanket, but it couldn't give the comfort, to sooth the hot pain on my whole body. The earthly scent of soil and dirt were clear signs that I wasn't in a car anymore, though. Had I been thrown away in the crash?
How stupid and naïve I had been.
The silence was suffocating and crawled around the place eerily, making my skin be filled with goosebumps. The slight movement caused by this, however, made the pain in my back worse and a choked sob left past my cracking lips. The taste of blood was something that I should've expected, but it made my small form on the ground feel more helpless and scared. Sobs shook my body, more pain made them overflow from my eyes.
I had been perfectly happy with my life, even if it had some quirks that a normal person would always have.
My fingers twitched and curled until my hands were in fists with little pieces of ground taken with them. An ambulance should have been called already, but why weren't they still there? If a crash between two cars would happen in a road that was always filled with vehicles then many people would have started using their phones. Though, there wasn't even sound of horrified and shocked shouts or whispers. There was nobody around and it was pitch black.
I had a family, though my parents had divorced years ago, but it hadn't bothered me much. I had still been with both of them and their new families.
New tears fell down when I blinked, confirming that my eyes were open and not closed. It didn't feel like I was inside of some building or a car, but I was actually outside. The air was surprisingly clean making the breathing so much easier than in cities, but where I had been last time things weren't like that. There was a grass filled ground around the place with buildings here and there. That was what I had seen through the car's window, but something felt weird. It was like I wasn't in that place anymore and I couldn't understand why it was so dark.
It would've been only a simple trip to take father to the airport that would take him towards the direction of his hometown. So why did I have to be so careless when I drove?
Fear that I might have become blind shook my whole body and more tears fell to the ground. The way how the sound of them hitting the ground softly as small 'tap' noises made me relieved that at least I could still hear, but it was short lived when I tried to move and a cry ripped through the silence. My cheek made a painful connection with the ground and I cried more when I felt stinging pain on it.
I smelled something else than the ground then,
Blood.
Why was fate such a cruel thing?
"H-help..." My voice was hoarse and my lips stung when the speaking stretched them too much. The taste of blood in my mouth made my stomach turn around. "Someone...help..."
The silent sobs disappeared to the air and they were so small and weak that it would've been a miracle, if someone would've heard them clearly at least a feet away. No other sound was heard nor did anyone give a reply to them. I was completely alone and hope was slowly slipping away.
Why did I go through all of that in the first place?
The fluttering of golden color made tear stop from falling anymore. My whole body stiffened weakly when warmth touched my shoulder and blinding small lights floated around me and made small noises. Are they birds?
One single warmth became two when I was turned around to my side so that my head lolled back towards the ground limply. Someone was resting their one arm on my shoulder and other one was under my other arm so that I was almost sitting.
"Are you okay, miss? Can you hear me?" A voice, softer than anything I had heard, was near my ear. It was clear and worried and the hand under me tightened its hold when I tried looking up at the person. Their hands were pretty slender. "Ah! I'm glad! Can you speak?"
Where did the light come from? The image was slightly blurry and hurt my eyes with brightness, but there was the shade of bright blue and green that were clearer than shapes. "Wh-"
A sharp pain in my chest suddenly appeared and I was coughing, feeling something warm spread to my mouth from my throat. The person readjusted my position a little back, probably surprised from the coughing fit, but then my body became lighter and the arms left my side. It was like I was floating.
"Be strong a little while more. I'll take you to my house, but you must not fall asleep until we get there. Understood?" The voice was more firmer, but it was barely noticeable when it was soaked with softness and warmth.
The only sound that left from me was a small 'um', before I started coughing again.
The person didn't say anything after that. They only walked from the noise of soft footsteps, but my brows knitted painfully together when I felt the air blow against my face. I was certain that I wasn't being carried, but it felt like I was moving somehow. It shouldn't have been possible, so it could've only been my imagination and despite what the stranger had told me about being awake, my eyelids were starting to become heavy. All the strength of my body was leaving me and I blinked rapidly not wanting them to close at all. Who is this? I can't tell, if it is a male or female.
A voice was screaming in my mind that the person with me was suspicious, even if they hadn't done anything wrong. How come they had found me when everything around the place felt empty and quiet? And the small golden lights that were letting out small chirping sounds were also weird and made me feel slightly uncomfortable. There was no way for me to trust the person, but I knew that I couldn't survive for now, if I didn't allow them to help me. I just wanted all the pain to be over.
With all of that being stuffed into my mind, I hadn't noticed, that I had fallen asleep.
