Chapter Five: Out of the Dark

What happened before...

"As long as you stay in here, you'll be okay. So don't leave. Do you promise?"

"She's still shaking! I'll get a sedative."

A pain in my neck.

"Kelsey!" I heard my name being called like I was in a dark deep hole.

My vision faded away...

Kelsey's POV

I woke up, harsh light blinding my eyes. I was laying down on a bed. Where was I? I blinked a few times to get my eyes adjusted. I looked around to see medical things and everything was white. Oh. I'm in a hospital. Now I remember.

The explosion. My family was dead. Was Johnny dead? He was... wasn't he? My mind was so foggy. I couldn't even remember the past few hours.

I felt my eyes droop down and I slipped into unconsciousness.

"Kelsey?"

"Mom?" I turned around to see my mom, dad, and siblings right in front of me. "Dad!" I smiled so big it hurt. "You're alive!"

"Honey," Mom smiled at me as I ran to her. She hugged me tightly, patting my head.

"I missed you so much."

"Sweetie, so did I."

"You aren't dead, are you?" The scent of her perfume made me feel so loved, and comforted.

"Kelsey!" My eyes snapped open to see Roy and Nurse Dixie beside my bed. "Are you all right sweetheart?"

"Um." I bit my lip, my eyes watering. You can't cry, Kelsey, you can't cry. You have to be brave.

"Yeah, I am." I nodded looking at my hands. "...How's Johnny? Is he okay?" Roy gave me a weak smile.

"He's out of the dark, at least." The nurse said quietly.
