10 Breathe Again
"CLEAR!"
BZZ-ZZAAP!
Doctor
Geist rubbed two defibrillators together and charged them to Vlad's
chest, and the defibrillators caused his body to jump, but did not
get his heart starting again.
Beads of sweat started to fall
down Dr. Geist's forehead as he rubbed the defibrillators together
again and pressed them to Vlad's body.
"CLEAR!"
BZZ-ZZAAP!
Vlad's body jumped again, but
the heart monitor's number kept rapidly decreasing.
From
outside Vlad's hospital room, Jack and Maddie, Vlad's best
friends were watching through a window, worried expressions growing
more worried with each passing second.
Jack trembled for the
safety of his best friend and sniffled a tear. More tears started to
poor from the big man's eyes and he turned to Maddie for
support.
"Maddie! I'm scared! Hold me!"
The two
of them hugged to comfort each other, as they watched the Doctor
shock Vlad's body over and over, but his heart failed to start up
again.
With each time the defibrillators failed, Jack felt
more and more guilty, seeing the reason Vlad was in the hospital was
because of the incident in the school lab…he just hoped that when
Vlad wakes up, is that he doesn't blame him for what happened…or
if he wakes up at all…
Vlad's heart monitor started
beeping more quickly, despite Dr. Geist's efforts. The Doctor
turned up the power of the defibrillators, and rubbed them together
and yelled louder than before.
"
CLEAR!"
BZZ-ZZAAAP!
The
high voltage from the defibrillators shocked Vlad's body all over,
and caused his back to arch higher… but the lone monotone sound
echoing around the room was more than enough to tell the doctors that
they had failed.
Dr. Geist shook his head sadly to Jack and
Maddie, and that was enough to tell them that their best buddy Vlad
Masters the knew from College and before that…had finally left this
world, and the guilt increased on Jack's heart and dragged it down
even more.
All the other doctors and nurses exited out of the
room, each one apologizing to Jack and Maddie. Dr. Geist looked at
his watch and prepared to announce Vlad's time of death when he
heard a faint beeping sound.
Dr. Geist eye's widened as he
noticed that Vlad's chest was slowly moving up and down, and that
his heart rate was increasing. Maddie and Jack had also noticed the
heart monitor and ran inside, and instantly sprinted to their
friend's side.
White hair dawned Vlad's hair instead of
black, and when his slowly and almost painfully opened, it revealed
that his eyes were a lighter shade of steel-blue. Jack and Maddie
squealed in delight at their friends awakening.
Vlad slowly
focused his eyes on Maddie, and his voice was weak and raspy when he
spoke through his mask.
"Maddie….when I went to heaven…I
saw an angel…that looked exactly like you…"
Maddie shook
her head and smiled warmly as she put her finger up to his
mouth.
"Shh, Vlad. Don't speak, you need rest."
Vlad
nodded slowly and closed his eyes again, and underneath his mask, he
smiled.
He was glad that the first time he breathed again, he
truly saw heaven on earth.
