Chapter 3
Rocks continued to fall inside the cave. Anton struggled inside and finally found the boy sprawled on the ground, apparently unconscious. He scooped the boy up in his arms and ran for the cave entrance as the falling rocks increased in volume and in number.
They made it out seconds before the cave entrance was completely blocked off by an avalanche of rocks and boulders.
Trent groaned and painfully opened his eyes. The concerned face of Anton Mercer was directly above him.
"Where am I?" Trent whispered weakly.
"You are in a hospital. You've been injured."
"Trent's eyes widened as the days' events came back to him in a rush.
"OH NO! My mom and dad! Where are they?"
Anton's eyes saddened and his face fell.
"What? Are they okay? They're here too aren't they? Are they hurt badly?"
"Son, I'm sorry…but…they never made it out."
Tears welled in Trent's eyes and threatened to cascade down his face like Niagara Falls.
Trent shook his head in disbelief.
"It's not true! They're okay!" His voice choked.
"I'm sorry but it is true. You and I barely made it out ourselves. We're lucky to be alive."
"No! You're wrong! You'll see!" Trent's chin quivered as the tears began to fall.
The doctor walked in with a clipboard. Trent looked past him at the doorway and smiled deliriously at something that wasn't really there.
"See! I told you they were okay!" Trent cried joyously.
"He is suffering from a concussion and post traumatic stress. He might experience short term amnesia. This is normal for a case like this," the doctor informed Anton Mercer.
"A nurse will be in shortly to administer a narcotic. I suggest that he get plenty of bed rest. He needs to take it easy if he is to have a full recovery. A prescription will be sent with him."
"Does the boy have any other family that could take him in?"
"I checked his file. The boy has no one now. The poor kid. Lost both of his parents in one day." The doctor shook his head sadly and sent a nurse in with the medicine.
Soon after the medicine was administered, Trent's eyelids fluttered closed. He fell into a deep but peaceful sleep. A sleep that he would not experience again for a very long time.
