Stained Red

Chapter 17

Note- Extra short chapter...thanks for the reviews!

The young man sat sternly across from where Carter was laying. He watched the stillness of his victim while plotting his next move.

Carter could fell the tense eyes burning into him. But he wasn't worried; his dream gave him a new sense of his own reality. Something in his drean reminded him of his past.

The young boy ran into the trauma room behind his mother to watch with fear as his sister's death was pronounced. Tears streamed down his face as he passed his mother and grabbed his sister's hand firmly, willing her to breath. "I'm sorry," he whispered as a tall man in a stained red lab coat came up beside him. Their eyes met. "Why couldn't you save her?" the young boy asked with fear and hatred clear in his voice. There was silence. "Fix her!" he screamed. His mother came up beside him and massaged his shoulders gently as she looked down at her daughter. The tall man spoke softly "we did everything we could...her injuries were too severe...I'm very sorry" he lowered his head slightly; he turned to leave the room to allow the family a few moments together. He felt a strong tug on his arm pulling him back. "You have to help her...she's not dead, she can't be dead, you didn't try hard enough...help her!" the young boy demanded. Then he resigned himself by his sister's side. Once everyone left he spoke soothingly to his angelic sister. "It's ok Rachel, it will al be ok, what do they know?...I'm so sorry, this never should of happened to you, it was all an accident. Mom didn't mean to... No! It's not her fault...they just didn't try, they didn't care Rachel" A small smile played on the young boys face "I'll make them care."

Note- Sorry its so short...I wrote it while I was suppose to be doing homework...once I get a break in work I promise to write I nice long chapter. Until then I hope this will do.
