Chapter four: Swirve and Boom

Quatre, Hilde, and Shasta had called Relena to inform her they were on they're way to her house. They had gotten a cab and told the man to go to the Yuy residence. They sat their in complete silence in deep thought. Shasta still was getting some bad feelings in her. It made her very unstable. She couldn't stand it. She kept her mind busy watching outside the window the car. She swore she heard a muffled sound in the front of the car.

Shasta leaned forword but then was jerked back by a swirve of the car. Something wasn't right, Shasta screamed as Quatre opened the door and pulled Hilde and Shasta out of the swirving car as it went off the bridge. Shasta left conciousness after she hit her head on the road when Quatre lost his grip on her. She heard someone screaming her name but couldn't wake up to say anything. Then everything went white in her mind.

At a hospital

'I'm still hear I can hear their voices but I can't move, I need to rest,' thought a unconcious Shasta as she lay their in her hospital bed. She had a wire in her arm that was tapped on and a some sort of tube in her nostrils giving her air in her lungs.

"Quatre how did this happen?" asked a very worried Hilde as she paced the hallway outside her daughters hospital room as the doctor examined her injuries.

"Hilde calm down she'll be fine, she is going to pull through it is a lot better than having her dead and in the ocean is it not?" informed Quatre as he tried his best to calm her. Quatre blamed himself for not being able to hold onto her when they jumped out of the car. Shasta had hit the ground very hard and was knocked out instantly.

The doctor came out of the room, rubbing his hands together with a cloth. Hilde and Quatre bolted up and headed to the doctor.

"She'll pull through in a while but she has a major concussion, four broken ribs, and cracked her leg badly. But it doesn't look like any injuries will stay that way. But she'll need to stay in bed for a while, and she needs to have her brain rested. She must have hit her head hard their is a little bruise in the memory area in her brain but it's nothing serious should clear up when she wakes up," said the doctor he sure had a very concerned look on his face.

"Quatre call Relena and tell her what happened and we'll be a while. Doctor," Hilde turned to ther doctor and continued,"I'm a bit confused on this matter and all but when do you think she'll wake up?" Hilde had pleading eyes as she fought back her tears. She just couldn't lose another person in her life.

"Seeing her condition we're looking at a week or two at the most. She was hit pretty hard...but luckly we hopefully caught it in time for her to pull through and come out with no enternal injuries," sadly said the doctor as he looked at Hilde with eyes that were very unsure of every thing right now.

"Can I see my daughter?" asked Hilde as she looked him in the eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears and were sad.

"Yes, of course. Actually remind her of things and talk to her, she may be in a concussion but she can still hear you," said the doctor as he smiled and continued on his way down the hall. Hilde bolted into the room to see her daughter. She looked very sad even in her sleep and she could have sworn she saw her crying in her sleep. Hilde felt warm tears flow down her cheeks as she walked over to her daughter.

"Sweet heart it's mom," sadly said Hilde as she rubbed her daughter's hand back and forth. Hilde prayed in her head that her daughter would pull through this and that they could go on with they're lives normaly.

'I can hear you, but why can't I see you? Where am I? I can't feel anything, no pain, but why do I feel miserable?' thought Shasta as she listened closely to her mother's words. She wanted to come out of that horrible place she was in. She felt very tired and scared.

Hilde saw tears spill over her daughters closed eyes.'I can't do anything for her but just sit down and do nothing, Duo I need you so badly right now. Where are you when I need you the most?' thought Hilde as more tears streamed down her face and dropped onto her daughter's balnket.

Outside in the Hallway

Quatre flipped open his cellphone and dialed Relena's number.

"Hello? Relena?" asked Quatre with a very stern voice.

"Quatre is that you? Where are you? I'm worried sick!" said Relena impatiently as she sat down on her bed.

"We're at the hospital....something happened on the way to your home," Quatre swallowed hard as he got a lump in his throat.

"Quatre what happened?" said a now very scared Relena.

"We were riding in a cab and the car swerved and went over a bridge, I pulled everyone out and jumped out of the car but I lost my grip on Shasta and she hit the ground hard and is in a coma," choked out Quatre. He heard Relena stuff shoes on and yell at her kids to come.

"We'll be down their as soon as we can....which hospital you at?" asked Relena as she hurried toward a waiting limo followed by her two kids.

"San Juantos hospital," informed Quatre as he sat down on a chair.

"We'll be their shortly please tell Hilde," cried Relena as Quatre started to hear sobbs comming from the backround. Quatre hung up after saying goodbye. He placed his phone in his back pocket and headed for Shasta's room. He entered the room to see Hilde sleeping on a chair a blanket wrapped around her. He smiled and went over to Shasta and pulled a stray peice of hair from her face.

Shasta felt it,' Quatre he is near by.....I want to see so I could actually talk to him, but I'm stuck I can't move out of this place no matter how much I run, I can't find a way out.' Quatre kissed her forhead and looked at her as he sat on the bed. He felt so respnsible for it.

"Hey Shay, it's me....remember our promise? You promised also you'd go to the party also? So you can't break our promise you hear," said Quatre in a soft comforting voice. A tear trickled down Shasta's eye as Quatre wipped it away with his thumb.

The door clicked open revealing Relena and her children. She ran over and flew into Quatre's arms as she continued to sob. Shasta's best friend was sobbing the hardest as she ran over to her friend. She wanted to hug her so badly. Her brother calmly walked over but he was crying tears spilled over his eyes as he looked at Shasta. Hilde woke up with all of the comotion and Relena flew into her arms as well. new tears spilled over Hilde's already red eyes.

"Relena, I'm sorry about this you didn't have to come all the way down here," said Hilde as Aileen next hugged her and sobbed into her shoulder.

"Don't say that, of course I needed to! Shasta is in a coma! And my friend needs me when her husbond isn't here," sadly said Relena as she sat on the edge of Shasta's bed.

'More voices? Familiar ones, I want to see them, I want to get out of this now, but I'm still tired I think I'll rest some more,' thought Shasta as her body relaxed.

Somewhere outside the hospital

"Boss, phase one complete! Should we begin phase two?" asked a person who spoke into a walkie-talkie.

"Begin phase two I think this is the only way we can get them to talk," the voice in the walkie-talkie was very eerie.
