Disclaimer: I'm not creative enough to make a funny mini-story for this so…I don't own Alex Rider. Duh. This is my second story? Technically first cause the other one was so bad, and the category was so weird I just don't count it. On with the story then!
Preface
14 Years Ago
Screaming.
Loud intense screaming. Doctors in stained white coats running about the room, surgical carts carrying expensive tools pushed carelessly away. And one woman, lying in a hospital bed, as white as the sheets that surrounded her and a sheen of sweat covering her face.
Then silence. The woman's breathing was loud in the quiet room as a baby's cries began to emanate from the doctors' hands.
After a quick check and, "It's a boy!" the doctor handed the baby to a nurse and turned to, once again, talk to the mother, whose eyes had not yet left her son. Taken by surprise, the nurse stepped back.
Right into a cart.
Syringes and tools flew everywhere. There was a mad scramble to clean up and, in the confusion, the baby was put down and forgotten.
Confusion. Utter and total confusion. The baby reached his chubby hands out, obviously already ridiculously well developed. His meaty newborn fingers closed around something cold and cylindrical, and he happily tugged it towards himself, not noticing the sharp point on the end.
Pain. Fiery, excruciating pain, circled outwards from his wrist. His cries slowly faded, and it was the absence of the familiar wailing that caught the adults' attention. They all looked at different times, but the loud gasp that they all gave came at the same moment.
Panic. Blindingly terrifying panic filled the room as the doctor rushed forward, his hands flying towards the silent baby. "My baby!" The excruciated cry came from the mother, desolation in her voice and fear in her eyes.
But darkness was around the baby, and he was seemingly fine – apart from a small white circle on his wrist – as he was carried back to his mother.
Sorry if this is inaccurate. I've never had this experience myself. Duh. Now, there is a button…here ---------------------------- CLICK IT
