She sat holding a tearstained face in her hands. Her eyes were bloodshot and her mind befuddled from exhaustion. The same scene kept replaying in her mind over and over.A woman with a ventilator was lying on a hospital bed. Her cheeks were sunken and her eyes closed. A swarm of doctors and nurses were scurrying around the bed taking notes and monitoring the equipment. Ella stood in the room's corner with her father and sisters, hugging them gently trying not to cry. The steady blip of the heart monitor machine suddenly turned into a long drone. She stood there helplessly, hardly breathing praying, " Oh please god no!". The crowd around the bed slowly dispersed. One of the doctors walked up and said," I'm sorry, we did every thing we could but she was already so weak and then when she got sick her body just couldn't fight off the infection."
Gone…. That one word kept repeating in her head. Gone…. It almost seemed unreal as if she were at a window looking in at someone else. Gone…. She looked over at the clock, it read 6:15. If her mother would have been there she would have been calling everyone down for dinner. But the house was silent. Gone…. The silence was too much it overwhelmed her with the unbearab;e truth. Mom was gone and she wasn't coming back. At this she buried her head in her pillow and sobbed.
She was just starting to doze off when her father came in with a sandwhich for her dinner. When she didn't move or say anything he walked back out saying, "Good night Ella I love you." Once he was gone she slowly got up and stumbled over to the plate of sandwhiches. As she reached the plate she saw a light coming from the bottom of her closet. Despite her gloom she was mildly curious and she walked over to investagate.
As she opened the door and stepped into the closet she heard a voice that sounded like a pack of hounds saying," At last my daughter I've been waiting."
Well that's it for the intro, if you don't like it I wont bother to continue so please read and review.
