My Shattered Midnight
~ Shard I ~
"Mai!" I hear the voice call. It sounds panicked, fearful even, and I vaguely wonder why.
"Mai!" it sounds closer this time, "Mai, where are you?!"
I don't know, I think apathetically, and I don't care to know.
"MAI!" they sound panicked now. I wonder who they're looking for. "Lin! She's over here!"
"Answer me, Mai!" I feel someone shaking my body, hands feeling about my throat and hovering over my mouth.
Are they looking for me? I wonder in surprise; am I Mai?
"She's alive," another voice says. They sound calmer than the other person -more in control. "We'd better call an ambulance though, she fell a long way down."
"Do it," the first voice says sounding calmer now. The shaking stops, but I can still feel two hands hold my own. I wonder if they belong to the one who was yelling.
"Matsuzaki-san, we found her," the calmer one says, sounding a bit further away now. "We need an ambulance. Taniyama-san fell down the cliff by the road. She doesn't seem badly injured, but we shouldn't move her without medical assistance."
There is a pause. I can hear a fuzzy voice, but can't decipher what it is they are saying.
"Near the driveway, about halfway along. I'll go to the road to meet them." The fuzzy voice says something else, and then there's silence.
"Mai, if you can hear me," the panicked one says, their voice sounding steadier with each word, "the ambulance will be here soon. You'll be alright, we'll look after you."
I feel sorry for this person; they must have been worried. I wonder why it is I made them worry so much. I don't want them to worry, I think despairingly. I don't want this person to be worried over me.
"She's freezing," the hands let go and a moment later I feel something warm cover my body. The hands take hold of mine again and I feel warmer. Did they give me a blanket?
Time goes by and more voices fill the area, each one sounding concerned. I wonder if they have the right person.
I am Mai, right?
I can hear sirens. More voices appear as the sirens get close enough to deafen me. I feel the hands let go of mine and my body lift up on to something soft.
I'm moving, voices speaking around me, hands touching me here and there. A sharp pain in my arm that disappears as quickly as it appeared leaves me confused as I'm lifted higher still. And then the movement stops. I hear can people moving around, the siren blaring overhead as they give out instructions to the people who had been by my side.
"We can only take one person in the ambulance."
"I'll go," the first person to find me answers. I wonder why they're going to such lengths. The feeling that this person shouldn't be worrying about me like this grows worse with every word they speak.
"We'll follow in the van," I hear someone else say, and then the sound of an engine and closing doors fills my ears, siren ever present as the ambulance begins to move forward.
The time goes by; I feel my body move around with the motion of the ambulance. The voices continue to talk around me about the cliff and my current condition. They need to do x-rays. I wonder what that means.
I can hear the siren going off the whole time. It annoys me somewhat.
I can also hear the voice of the one who came with me saying that everything will be fine; just to hold on a little bit longer.
"Maiā¦"
