Cristina

"Just a little further," Cristina gasped out as they dragged Alex down the stairs.

"Why me?" Hailey cried. "I was always nice to people. I always followed the rules. I never drank, never took drugs, never smoked. And yet I am being punished. Cancer. Fire. Broken arm. Dying. Am I supposed to die? I really don't get it-

"Shut up!" Cristinas hissed. "Look I'm sorry, but we are about to get out of here and you keep going on about how unlucky you are. How everyone has it out for you. You poor baby," Crsitina said sarcastically.

Hailey was silent for a moment before muttereing, "Dr. Karev was nicer."

Cristina rolled her eyes. "You mean the evil spawn?" she chuckled.

Hailey glared at her. "Dr. Karev told me how to get away from the fire the best that we could. He calmed me down when I was upset. He was very nice."

Cristina let out a slow and almost painful sigh. "Whatever," she grumbled. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Hailey grumbled back.

Cristina lokked over to the side and couldn't help but smile. She was in alot of pain since she had to carry alot of Alex's weight, due ot Hailey's broken arm. So when she saw that final step, she couldn't help but be grateful for it.

"There it is," Cristina smiled as they stepped onto it, and then the floor.

They placed Alex down onto the floor and then hunched over, catching their breaths. "Need to sit," Hailey panted.

"No time," Cristina muttered. "Come on."

"No!" Hailey whined.

Cristina turned around sharply. "Look kid, the entrence is right there!" she snapped, pointing to the collapsed entrence.

She smiled as she saw the hole cut intothe far side of it. Some fireman must have been inside the building looking for some of them. Was Meredith out yet? Lexie? Was Izzie even inside?

Cristinas pointed to the hole in the wall. "See that?" she whispered.

Hailey slowly pulled her head up to look where she was pointing. "What?" she gasped out.

"That holw in the wall, it was cut by firemen. They must have just missed us. but that's our way out. There are people outside waiting for us. So if we don't get out of this building now then we are dead."

Hailey nodded slowly before reaching down and placing her broken arm against the legs. She slid her other hand under her broken one and pressed them against it roughly. She groaned out in pain as they pulled Alex up off of the ground and wobbled towards the exit.

Crisitna's phone suddenly buzzed and she jumped, almost dropping Alex. BUrt she ignored it. Whatever George had to say could wait.

"Are you okay?" Hailey questioned, confused at why Cristina had jumped.

"I'm fine," Cristina muttered. "We're almost there. You think we could move a little faster?"

Hailey shook her head, but then gradually nodded it. "Okay," she murmured.

They sped up there pace slightly and Hailey continued to groan out in pain. Their exit became closer and closer by the second.

Finally, after omnly a few minutes, they were there. Hailey got down on the ground and struggled to crawl under the hole. It was hard to do with the broken arm, but she did it. Next Cristina pushed Alex out of the hole slowly. Hailey grabbed him from the other side and pulled him out, groaning in pain.

Cristina then got down onto the ground and crawled under the hole, her back aching, until she was outside. Both girls began gasping in as much air as they possibly could while they sat on the ground. There was still smelt smokey, but it was clean compared to what it had been.

Tears ran down Hailey's cheeks. "We're free," she cried.

Cristina couldn't help but cry as well. Her body was suddenly so tired and weak as she pushed herself up. "Come on!" Cristina gasped out.

Hailey nodded and Cristina walked around the corner of the building until she could see the croud of people. Her chest began to feel funny and she started coughing hysterically.

Outside The Building

"I'm so nervous," Hailey's mom cried. "My baby's in that building. She could die. She's probably dead! Oh my gosh! What if she is dead! My baby!"

"Please stop," Bailey suddenly spat.

Everyone's heads snapped around to look at Bailey. "Those residents in that building are like my babies! I 'raised' them. I taught them, and I came to love all of them. I am sick to my stomach, knowing I oculd lose them. I already lost one of my interns to a freaking bus and I would rather not lose the rest of them."

"You have said nothing at all the whole time," Owen suddenly muttered. "Why so quiet?"

"I was praying," Bailey whispered.

Owen stared at the ground, not paying much attention after that, only worried about Cristina, when he heard a strange, far away sound.

He looked over to the side of the building where the sound was coming from, and he almost fainted out of happiness at what he saw.

Cristina stumbled out from behind the building, dragging Alex along with her. She had blood dripping down her arm and her face. She was hunched over, looking like it hurt to stand up. Her skin was painted black from teh smoke.

Behind her, there was a girl with a bandana pn her head and a broken looking arm. But Alex barely noticed the giril.

He jumped up and ran over to Cristina, as did Richard, Bailey and Hailey's parents.

"Cristina!" Owen yelled.

Cristina's head snapped around and tears filled her eyes when she saw Owen. She placed Alex onto the ground and allowed Owen to scoop her up into his arms, no matter how much it hurt.

"Owen," Cristina sobbed.

"Cristina, thank God!"

Bailey looked up at the sky and whispered, "Thank you."

Paramedics came running over with stretchers. They had to ply her away from Owen and get her onto the stretcher. Owen held her hand the entire time.

Cristina felt unconciousness begin to take over. The last thing she heard was Owen saying, "Marry me?"

Hailey

Hailey collapsed into her parents arms and sobbed as they held her.

She survived this one, but there were many more things threatening her life than just that.

She could still die.

Derek

"Hurry up!" Derek begged as the firefighters broke away at the wall. The second that there was a big enough hole, Mark came crawling out, holding Lexie in one arm and Meredith in the other.

Derek was sobbing as he pulled Meredith into his arms. She fell back limply in his arms.

"We need to get out of the building now!" Derek sobbed.

"Derek!" Mark gasped as the firemen took Lexie from him. "I think Mereidth hit her head."

Meredith

Meredith squirmed around and was surprised to see that she was no longer in pain.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself on the steps of the basement wich was no longer burning, no longer broken. There was no Mark, no Lexie. No Derek.

She gradually stood up and opened the door that lead out of the basement.

Her feet carried her around the empty hospital slowly. It was so quiet. There was no sign of life whatsoever.

"Hello?" Meredith called. "Anybody here? What's happening?"

She turned the hallway and walked down it slowly, listening to the sound of her footsteps echo through the veyr emptry hospital.

she turned the hallway again and walled over to the elevator, pressing her finger against the elevetor button.

The doors opened after a moment. Meredith wasn't expecting to see someone on the other side, wearing an army outfit.

"Surprise," the man sighed.

Meredith stumbled backwards and the second she found her voice she let out a sudden and loud shriek.

George.
