Chapter 14 – A Dog
Part 68 Jacob's POV
There were voices swirling somewhere around my head. I struggled to make sense of what they were saying, only able to make out phrases.
"Call an ambulance!"
"…could've sworn I saw a dog…"
"Hello. I need an ambulance…yes…he was hit by our sixteen-wheeler…we'll wait."
Every bone in body ached. I could tell that when I was unconscious, I had morphed back into a human. A familiar blue light began to spread throughout my body; I felt a tingle in my limbs as my body tried to heal itself.
"What the…?"
The two shapes that had been bending over me backed away slowly. I groaned, trying to move, but a hand stopped me.
"Stay where you are. You don't want to make these injuries any worse."
But I had to go. The paramedics would notice that I was healing abnormally fast.
"I can't…I have to go…" I tried to make them understand my urgency. "They'll notice…the light…"
"He's babbling."
"Well, he's lost a lot of blood." One of the two men bent over me once again to check my injuries. "My God." The first man put a hand to his chest in surprise. "He's healing."
"I need to get out of here."
The man just nodded, looking dazed.
