Chapter Two: AccidentsSuddenly I heard a screech, and my head shot to the left. A huge black pick-up truck was skidding towards me, obviously out of control. My eyes widened, and my heart was sent into shock. Then an ear-splitting crash was heard, and then a fire engulfed me from every side. Every part of my body was being seared, burned. The pain was immense. I was wrapped in the fire's fingers, being cloaked in the intense heat, the bright flames flickering and dancing around me. I felt the blood oozing from many different places, and then suddenly it was black. I was being pulled under, and I knew I was slowly dying. My life, my kids, my husband, my family - I was about to lose everything.
Why did life have to be so cruel to me?
"Why me?" was all I could manage to think as the flames continued to engulf me in their dancing fingers. I screamed as a searing pain in my head erupted, and then I was pulled under by the lulling, black waves.
The next thing I remembered was waking up in the hospital. People were all around me, and I was slowly able to pick out Edward's voice. I remembered the day in the hospital again, when his voice sounded miles away, yet like he was shouting into my ear. That's what it sounded like now. I groaned, letting my head fall to the right.
"Oh..." I moaned in pain.
"Bella, Bella, Bella!" Edward's voice was pained and desperate as he cried out my name again and again. "Oh, my Bella. Please, please, please. Don't do this to her. Please." He begged an unknown being.
"E-Edward." I stuttered. It was barely a whisper, but I knew he would be able to hear me.
Then, Carlisle's calm voice chimed in. "Bella, hold on. Don't go under, try to stay awake, okay? It'll be alright. Don't worry"
How could everything be alright? I was dying right in front of my husband, and probably the rest of my family. I was faintly aware of a whole bunch of other people's footsteps on my left side. I knew that my family was there, and Ivy and Austen, too.
"Mommy! Mommy! What's wrong with Mommy?" They shouted in panicked voices.
"My babies."
"Mommy!" Ivy's high voice made me cringe slightly. Edward shushed her, and his thumb stroked my cheek again. The pain in my head got even more worse.
"She's got a concussion, and she's lost a lot of blood. Be careful." Carlisle stated. Then, I remembered seeming to become paralyzed in every part. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move. I felt like I was a statue, yet that I was still alive somehow.
"Oh, no! She's going into a coma! Nurse!"
Then I slipped under, and into the darkness.
