The car is upside down. My leg is caught between the crushed passenger door and my chair. I pull myself free and almost cry at the pain. My leg has been miserably broken; I can see the bone. I bite my lip and clap my hands, activating my healing alchemy. If I had a voice I'd scream; it's miserable to feel the bone pop back into place. I don't stop the transmutation until my skin is clear. My head is foggy, which means I probably have a concussion, and I have several smaller cuts, but I can let those heal naturally, without fear. Having tended to the worst of my injuries, I look to Daerek.
Instantly I freeze, my body filling with horror. He is limp, his head hanging out at an impossible angle. His eyes are wide, the dark irises blank and unseeing. I pray, please, this isn't happening! Again I clap, and my automail pops loudly—I've damaged it. Slowly, I heal my boyfriend, my lover. His neck clicks loudly as his head snaps into place, and I wince, biting my lip forcefully.
His eyes are still empty. My own are brimming with tears, almost impossible to control. I shift, and broken glass digs into my skin, as I move closer to him. Shakily I place a hand against his chest.
There is no heartbeat.
I close my eyes and take a shuddering breath. Move closer to him and bury my body against his unfeeling chest. I'm curled tight against the glass and the rain. The door on my side is bent, impossible to open, and I wouldn't dare move Daerek to reach his side. I can't crawl out the window in my state, and I'm not good at any alchemy except healing. I'm stuck.
My state… I snap to attention, my hands flying to my stomach. My heart pounds in fear, heartbreaking dread, until finally I feel a kick. I start shaking, biting back unbearable tears. I could never imagine my fate would end up like this.
