The blast was coming fast. "God, forgive me for everything, I have done." I thought.
Suddenly, my world started moving in slow motion. Someone jumped. He got hit. Someone yelled panicked. And everything was back in quick tempo.
Douglas. He stepped in front of us. He was unconscious on the floor.
Perry. Her eyes were not green anymore. On the floor too.
Graham. Nowhere to be seen.
"Guys quick. We have to leave. Adam, I want you to carry Perry in your right shoulder. Can you do that for me?"
He nodded.
"I'll take Douglas. Chase I understand your pain but will you be able to save the girl?" Mr. Davenport continued.
"I will." I said while dragging her on the floor with one arm and clutching my body with the other.
We ran as fast as we could until we came to a point that no none of us could go on further.
My father's chest was bleeding, my bones were about to break and the girl would not waking up for nothing.
"Okay, here we are." My uncle exlaimed pressing a button on his phone.
The earth went down and stairs were appeared in our view. We descended them only to find themselves in an infirmary bigger than the other one I was.
"Put, the injured on the beds. Maria will take care of them."
That name was familiar. Of course. The woman who helped me. She inserted the room holding medical equipment.
"Chase you should lay too." Mr. Davenport told me as he approached and picked up the girl and took her away.
I obeyed and leaned on a gurney. Oh boy, it was so comfortable. I could sleep on it for days.
I watched Maria as she inserted something to my IV and I fell into darkness.
Hours later, a groan woke me up. I did not have the willpower to open my eyes, yet I wanted to be sure that everything was back to normal. Well, as normal as they would be right now.
The first person I saw, was Adam. "Hey!" I greeted in a very raspy voice.
"Chasey, you are alright." He exclaimed happily and hugging me.
"Adam, it hurts." I whispered in his ear and he immediately pulled away.
The groan was heard again. We born turn and noticed that our new sister started waking up.
Holding her forehead tighly, she made a huge effort to sit up before being pushed down by Maria.
"Take it slow, young woman. You have some broken ribs." She explained to her. "What is your name?"
My sister did not answer. Either she was too afraid to speak or she could not.
"Chase, you're doing good." She made an observation.
I still needed an explanation though. I narrowed my eyes, not replying to her. Just watching my father on the bed to my left,slowly breathing.
"He is in critical condition. The laser did some damage to one of his lungs. I don't know if…"
"He's gonna make it. Douglas is strong. He won't give up now." I interrupted angrily.
Maria smiled and came up to my side. He held mu hand. The IV lines were causing a little pain but her touch… It magically made it dissapear.
"Look, I am sorry for hiding my identity. I am a doctor working for your father. All those years, I've been undercover."
"And how did you know Greek?"
"Because I was born in Greece. All those pictures are taken from me."
"Oh, now I get it. Where is Mr. Davenport?"
"He is in his room. He said he has some personal business to do! And that Perry is with him."
"Ow." My brother and I exclaimed in disgust.
The noise from the heart monitor was beeping steadily and Adam was snoring on the chair.
"Make it stop." A non familiar voice was heard.
It was coming from the girl.
"So, you're talking!"
"Of course I am. Where am… Dad." As soon as she saw Douglas, she gasped. She removed all the cables and stuff from her hands and crowled to my father's bed.
"Daddy? Daddy? Wake up please. Please. Don't leave me. Please." She yelled screaming and crying until Maria inserted the infirmary and caught her in her arms.
She carried her all the way to the bed.
"What were you doing there?" Our doctor asked while examining her.
"Dad. He h-has to be okay."
"He will. I promise."
My sister did not stop crying. She could not realize that her condition was deteriorated minute by minute.
Adam woke staring at me. He looked irritated. I just pointed my finger to my right.
"Why is she crying?"
"Douglas!" I replied when the room was filled with silence again.
We both looked at her and our doctor.
"She passed out. I hope everything will be fine." Maria told us with concern all over her face.
After working on her for a while, she left the room.
Once again we were alone surrounded by uncoscious people.
I could not stand anymore. I put my knees close to my chest and started sobbing like a small kid.
"Hey, what's wrong?" My brother's voice was heard.
"A-Adam. I can't. Will everything be okay?"
Will everything be okay? Will Douglas survive? What about their sister? And if you think that Graham will not come back, you're wrong! Love ya!
