I was in my room getting ready for school, I just had to put on my combat boots, and then I'd head down to breakfast to see Eddie. Today was going to be great, Piper was going to visit, and I was so excited for her and Eddie to bond. Last time, they didn't exactly know that the other existed, or something like that. However; this time will be for real. My school was about 12 hours away from my house, and since my parents were visiting my cousins in America, Piper had to drive herself. In a way I was kind of worried for her because of the heavy rain, but she's probably fine.

"Patricia, come down here. You need to see this," Eddie yelled up to me. I pulled up my left boot and ran downstairs clutching my phone; just in case I'd need to video tape what is going on down there. My boots clacked against the wooden steps. When I got to the eighth step, the board slipped from beneath me and I crashed to the bottom of the stairs. I guess Nina and Fabian never retightened the floorboard that they'd lifted a year ago.

I felt a ray of pain shoot up my right leg and a snap in my right wrist. A stream of thick blood flowed down my head. "Patricia!" Eddie screamed in shock. I felt dizzy, and I drifted away.

My eyes opened, I was lying on a hospital bed, and Eddie was leaning his head on my chest, tears streaming down his face. Joy was sitting in the corner sobbing at a newspaper article, with Mara by her side comforting her. The rest of my friends sat on the two consecutive couches by the wall, their eyes were puffy and red, and Alfie was crying on Amber. I leaned forward a slight bit, and Eddie looked up, a small smile widened upon his face. "Your alive." I blinked a couple of times and gave them all a weird look.

"You fell down the stairs when the board slipped. You landed on your leg and your wrist. You banged your head on the railing very hard, and went unconscious. You have been in a coma for three days, we all stayed here with you," Eddie explained to me.

"Am I okay, and where is Piper?" I asked.

"Look Tricia," Joy said as she rose from her spot in the corner, "you broke two spots in your leg, and your wrist will require serious surgery. Also, your skull is dented, and you will need to wear special casts for this. You needed 113 stitches."

"Where is Piper?" I questioned again. Alfie started to cry again at the sound of her name, as well as Joy, they were both very close friends of Piper. Eddie climbed onto the bed with me and began to hug my maimed body. "What happened?" I said.

"While Piper was driving to Anubis House overnight her car slipped in the rain. She got into a very bad car accident. She is behind the curtain, she died only this morning, she kept trying to hold on, wait for you to wake up, but she had to let go. She died saying a prayer for you while hugging Alfie," Eddie mumbled.

Tears began to stream down my face, the saltiness stung where I had stitches on my cheek. Eddie began to hug me and I sobbed in his arms. I didn't care about the pain, I just needed Piper, she was my sister, my everything, and I needed her.

The doctor then came in and told my friends that they needed to wait in the waiting room, but then they said that Trudy can stay since she is currently my supervisor. "Miss. Williamson, I am dearly sorry about your sister, but as of right now I need you to hang in there. Your wrist is in bad shape, and it will require a simple procedure. I will put you to sleep, and then complete the surgery; it will take about 4 hours. However, we cannot allow any visitors for 24 hours afterword aside from Miss. Trudy Rehman," the doctor informed me. "We will begin prep in 2 hours, so I will allow your friends to visit for the next hour."
