Chapter 5
Blood
I came round for a few minutes. I felt the wind on my face. I was dead.
Then I heard the music.
'We're flying through the night,
Flying through the night,
Way up high.
The view from here is getting better with you by my side.'
It was that song. The end of it. I realised where I was. I was in the arms of something warm, soft. I wasn't dead, I could feel the pain now. I could see blurred outlines, it looked like we were driving really fast through a forest. But we weren't in a car. Then I blanked out.
'What can we do?' An earnest voice said loudly.
'We will have to give her a transfusion. She has lost too much blood to do anything else.' A calm voice replied. All the voices sounded like silk.
'We don't have any blood.' Another said. That one was female. I thought the other two were male.
'There isn't time to run to the hospital for blood, we will have to find a donor. Fast.' The second voice said.
'I'll do it.' The person who said it had the most beautiful voice. It was a sound I would walk across fire for. Embry. It was Embry. We had known each for a matter of weeks and he was offering me so much. I couldn't let him.
'You realise what this could do to her?' The silky voice asked, concerned.
'I will deal with what comes.' Embry said. Then, what must have been morphine took effect.
