The new episode was amazing. The promo had me thinking that there would be a car accident. In this story, there is. It's an AU, obviously.
Elliot Stabler furrowed his brow and focused on the truck barreling towards them. Olivia stuck her head out the window and aimed her gun.
The wind blew her brunette hair around her face. It felt like they were traveling at the speed of light.
The truck picked up speed just as Elliot decreased slightly. Both vehicles swerved, and then there was an earth shattering crash, and everything was enveloped by pure blackness.
Elliot was the first to gain consciousness, hours later. His head swarmed, and an intense headache and pain all over his body threatened to pull him into the dark hole of unconsciousness once again. His eyes quickly skimmed the car. It was totaled.
What scared him the most was that Olivia wasn't in the car. He forgot about the pain that traveled throughout his entire body. All he cared about was Olivia. The window she had been leaning out of was shattered, and that told him one thing.
She had been thrown out. He clutched the handle of the door and pulled, shoving on the door with all the strength he could muster.
The door flew open, and he fell out of the car. He picked himself up. It was night, and the sky was as dark as a piece of black velvet, the only light being the full moon. His eyes traveled frantically, and they fell upon a figure curled up, feet away, on the dark ground. He knew immediately that it was Olivia. He ignored the shooting pain and ran like hell. He dropped to his knees beside her broken form.
Olivia was covered in bruises, she was bloody and dirty, and she was sprawled across the small rocks. He wanted to wake her, he wanted to know that she was alright, but there was always the coldest, most terrible option- she could be dead.
He drew out his cell phone, and heaved a sigh of relief to find it still working. He shakily dialed 911. His voice was broken and trembling as he called for help. He lay his hand on Olivia's head. He ran his fingers through her hair, and prayed that help would come before it was too late. He tenderly lifted her head into his lap. He felt like crying. She seemed so pale and broken.
He held her hand as the EMT team hooked various monitors to Olivia. "How bad is she?" he quavered. He received no answer other than the shrill wailing of a monitor. Tears gathered in his ice blue eyes. He was shoved out of the way. Olivia's hand dropped out of his as he was forced away from her side. "Liv..." he whispered.
The ambulance skidded to a stop and the doors flew open. He raced alongside the gurney as it was taken into the emergency room. He collapsed against the wall. His legs trembled and threatened to give out and dump him on the cold tile floor. The sound of the clock ticking seemed to drown out all other noises. He blinked, and was taken back to the car. The sound of tires skidding and metal against metal. The memory of opening his eyes, the thought of holding her, the sound of the monitor, all of it struck him like lightning.
He felt something pull him down. Gravity took over, and he was taken over by pure blackness, a dark eclipse, before hitting the hard floor. He was enveloped by the black eclipse of unconsciousness.
A steady beeping brought him to consciousness. He opened his eyes. It took several seconds for everything to register in his mind. He was in a hospital, in a stiff white bed, surrounded my blank white walls. He saw Cragen standing in the corner. He remembered his last thought before blacking out. Olivia.
"Captain," he mumbled. "Liv?"
Cragen walked to his best detective's bedside. "Elliot..."
"Don't tell me she's dead," Elliot pleaded hoarsely. He wouldn't be able to function without her.
"She's been out of surgery for around an hour. She's in the ICU, but..."
"But what?" Elliot demanded, sitting up. The quick action sent a wave of pain down his spine, but he brushed it off. He didn't matter. The only thing that mattered to him was knowing that Olivia would be alright.
Elliot felt tears gather in his eyes. How could he have let this happen?
I'm evil, I know. It was a bit short, but the next will be longer. (dodges burning furniture that is thrown)
