Back Again
By Siren
Hey guys! The reason I'm having Legolas take Lily to a hospital is because I love putting my characters through one obstacle after another. And the fact that he has no identification would make things difficult for him. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. I don't own 'Walking in my Shoes' by Finger Eleven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The man returned a few minutes later, eyes wide. "I just called for an ambulance. Help is on the way," he panted. Legolas nodded his thanks and glanced down at the mortal in his arms. Her skin was becoming cold and clammy, two symptoms that worried him greatly. He lifted up the piece of cloth he was holding to her wound and grimaced.
The skin around the gash was inflamed, and she was still bleeding. He pressed the cloth to the wound again and kissed her forehead. "Please survive this Lily. Our son needs you. I need you," he whispered. Sirens blared and he looked up to see a large 'car' coming toward him. Two men came out of the car and took many devices with them.
They knelt next to Legolas, and took Lily away from him. They laid her down on the cold pavement and checked for a pulse. "She's going cold. Let's bag her." Legolas watched with wide eyes as they tilted her head back and opened her mouth. One of the men took out a long tube and slid it down her throat. They attached a bag to the other end, and squeezed it.
"What are you doing?" he asked worriedly. The man currently checking her wounds looked over at him. "We're breathing for her just incase she's too weak to do it on her own." Legolas nodded, pretending to understand. "Alright, she's stable. Let's load her up." One man held her by her shoulders, and the other man lifted her legs.
The both picked her up and put her on what looked like a bed. They strapped her down, and lifted the bed into the car. Legolas followed them and sat down next to her. The man continued to squeeze the bag, and the other took off her jacket. He took a pair of scissors and cut up the center of her shirt. Once that was done, he started placing electrodes on her chest.
"This is so we can monitor her heartbeat," the man explained without looking up. A box started beeping steadily, and Legolas recognized it as the rhythm of her heart. Struggling to control his panic, he looked down at her. Her face was slowly draining of color, and her lips were turning blue.
"We're losing her. We need to get to an O.R. now." Legolas's eyes widened. 'I can't lose her. I just found her again!' He took her hand in his and rubbed it gently, willing it to be warm. He looked at the two men desperately. "Please don't let her die," he pleaded. The men looked at him sadly. "We'll try our best."
Legolas closed his eyes and pressed his ear to her chest. He could hear her heart struggle to continue beating, and let out a cry. "She's fading!" he shouted. The two men sprang to action. One grabbed two paddles while the other put two pads on her chest.
"Charging," one man said. After a second, he placed the paddles on her chest and pressed down. Legolas heard a loud noise, and saw Lily's back arch off the bed. "What's happening?" he asked. "Do it again." The man did so, and Legolas watched in horror as Lily's back arched and her head was thrown back.
Finally, the machine began to beep again. The men sighed and put the paddles down. "We've got a pulse, but she won't last much longer. What's our E.T.A.?"
"Two minutes," the driver announced.
Legolas let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. Still grasping her hand, he whispered an elvish prayer. The vehicle finally stopped moving, and the men opened the door. Legolas got out and watched them lift out the bed. He jogged next to them as they entered a building.
"We need an O.R. now!"
"This way!"
Legolas watched them disappear into a room, leaving him behind. He stood by the door and peered into the window. They put Lily on another table, and saw men dressed in white begin to undress her.
"Sir, you can't stay here. You'll need to go to the waiting room."
Legolas let the woman lead him away and sit him down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ayden heard a phone ring and listened to the bad man answer it.
"Pierce here. What? No shit! When? Really? No, that's great! It makes my job a whole lot easier. What hospital? St. Thomas? Great. Thanks honey."
The bad man hung up the phone and laughed. "Well kid, it seems that mommy got into a bit of an accident. I'm going to pay her a visit. You just sit tight and keep your mouth shut."
Ayden's eyes widened. "If you hurt my mommy, than something bad will happen to you!" he threatened in his small voice. The bad man laughed again. "I bet." Ayden heard a steel door creak open and shut.
He was alone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been nearly two hours since Lily was brought into the hospital. Legolas was tense and ready to kill if he didn't hear about her condition. "Sir?" His head snapped up, and he saw another man in white.
Legolas stood up quickly and looked at the operating room. "Where's Lily? Is she alright?" The man in white nodded. "She should be fine. She's in the recovery room now, resting. We'd like to keep her here a few days for observation though. She had a serious wound on her abdomen, but all of her vital organs are in tact. I swear, that girl's got an angel watching over her."
Legolas smiled. 'You have no idea.' "Can I see her?" The man nodded. "Of course. Follow me."
Legolas followed him into a white room, lined with beds. There were two other people in the room besides Lily. When he finally reached her bed, he nearly fell to his knees. The tube was removed from her mouth, but the electrodes were still on her chest. There was also a tube connected to a bag full of liquid that was attached to her arm.
A white sheet was drawn up to her collarbone, showing that she was most likely naked underneath it. The blood and dirt were wiped away from her face, revealing the dark bruises. She looked incredibly helpless like that, and he felt himself begin to tremble.
"Here." The man in white pulled a chair up next to the bed and helped him to sit down. Once seated, Legolas took her hand and nuzzled it. She was warmer now, and her lips were turning pink again. He sighed into her palm and closed his eyes. "I need you to wake up, Lily. I need to see your eyes again."
Her eyes remained closed, much to his dismay. Tears welled in his eyes and he allowed them to fall. The doctor looked at the two with sympathy, and left them alone. Legolas let out a sigh, kissed her forehead, and rested his head on her shoulder. This world was cold and dangerous. How Lily managed to survive here was lost to him.
I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
A black truck pulled into the hospital parking lot. The windows were tinted, and the paint was peeling. A figure stepped out of it and made his way to the hospital doors, with one purpose: to kill Lily. He stopped at the nurse's desk and put on a fake smile. "Could you tell me if a young woman was brought in today? She was in a car accident. Her name is Lily, she's my niece," he lied.
"Yes sir, she's in room 219." The man nodded. "Thank you." Smiling, he turned and walked to the elevator.
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Lily awoke to the sound of steady beeping and the feeling of something warm on her shoulder. Opening her eyes, she saw that she was in the hospital. She remembered the car accident. How she had tried to get out, but fainted. Looking to her side, she saw Legolas sleeping against her.
She felt warm puffs of air as he breathed and smiled a bit. Lifting a hand, she ran her fingers through his hair. His eyes slowly focused, and he blinked the sleep away. "Hey," she greeted in a whisper. His eyes widened and his eyes glistened. She attempted a smile and tilted her head. "Are you okay?" she asked. Legolas opened his mouth to answer, but drew her into his arms instead.
Or forgiveness for the things I do
But before we come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Ayden struggled against his bonds, starting to panic. The bad man wanted to hurt his mother, and he couldn't let it happen. He let out a cry as the ropes started to loosen, and struggled harder.
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Lily wrapped her arms around him and held him to her. "It's alright," she soothed. Legolas shook his head, and held her tighter. "I'm so sorry Lily." Lily sat up and kissed his temple. "Don't be. I'm here now and we're both alive. But we need to leave here as soon as possible. We have to find Ayden."
Legolas sat back and shook his head. "You need to recover." Lily held the sheet to her and glanced at the closet. "Get my clothes. I can recover on the way," she argued. The elf looked hesitant, but did as she asked. He helped her get dressed and picked her up. "You shouldn't be leaving this place, let alone walking," was his excuse.
Morality would frown upon
And decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I'll tell you now my judge and jurors
Intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
The man turned the corner to the hall of room 219, when he saw Lily being carried by a man. He quickly retreated into the shadows and watched them. His informant was right, Lily was injured and weak. Turning around, he quickly made his way back to the parking lot.
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
But before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
"Take the exit," Lily said. Avoiding the nurses and doctors, he exited the hospital and walked to the parking lot. "But your 'car' is destroyed," Legolas reminded her. Lily sighed and looked at the parked cars. "You're strong, right? Take me to a car and break the window." Legolas walked over to a blue van and kicked the window. The glass shattered, and Lily half expected for an alarm to blare.
"Must be an old car," she mused. Legolas put her in the driver's seat, and Lily looked under the steering wheel. Pulling down a panel, she looked at the mass of wires. "Now, what wires start a car? Red and yellow I think..." she mumbled. Taking the two wires, she rolled them together and was rewarded with the sound of the car starting. "Thank God I watched all of those movies," she muttered and started to back out of the parking lot.
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Walking in my shoes
