Louis woke up with a start, blood pounding on his ears. He winced as he felt a dull pain in his head. Slowly, he tried to move, feeling as if his body is just one giant bruise. Miraculously, aside from the small blood trickling from his head and dull pain in his right arm, his injuries didn't seem too serious. Most of his injuries were small cuts and gashes. Ren! He suddenly remembered. He was so sure he felt his heartbeat jump twenty times faster. Inch by inch he turned his head towards his sister. For the second time, his blood ran ice cold. He swallowed hard, trying to push down the bile threatening to spill out of his mouth. Beside him, Ren lies, seemingly lifeless. Her head, lying against the window, was soaked with blood. He also noticed that there was a pool of blood on her abdomen. In fact, everywhere he looked, blood seems to appear from every angle. "Ren!" he croaked, tears forming in his eyes. "Ren, answer me!" he tried once again. He didn't realize it, but he was crying uncontrollably this time.
A moment passed before he noticed that a middle-aged man was rapping on his window. He signaled Louis to open the door, which he promptly followed. "Son, are you alright?" he asked.
Louis took off his seatbelt and scurried out of his, ignoring the pain of his whole body. "Please help me sir," he stammered tearfully. "M-my sister, she won't move. I-I called her a few times, but s-she wouldn't respond." Sobs racked his whole body. "You've got to help me sir," he said as he tugged at the man's sleeves.
"Okay, son, just calm down. We'll get your sister out." He led Louis on the sidewalk. "I already called an ambulance, are you sure you're alright?" Louis could only nod in response. "Stay here while I get your sister." The man left him and went to the car. Louis felt like an hour has passed before the man finally extracted Ren from the mangled car. In reality, only minutes have passed.
He laid down Ren on the grass a good ten meters away from the car. The man signaled him to follow. He scampered towards them. "Oh my god, oh my god," Louis exclaimed. Ren's body was deathly pale, her right arm bent at an odd angle. "Th-there's so much blood," he whispered. In the background, a vague sound of sirens can be heard.
The man tried to comfort him. "Don't worry son, the ambulance is almost here."
He knelt beside her sister. He delicately stroked her face, tears still falling from his eyes. "Please Ren, hang on," he whispered softly.
