The Rising of the Underworld
Chapter 5
"Where the Shadows Linger"
Melinda stepped out of her car and shut it behind her. She put her purse around her shoulder and waited for a second. She could feel this pain in her, moving. She started to get nervous, was the baby hurt? Melinda leaned against her car and stood there placing her hand on her stomach. Something was wrong with her little girl. What else could Melinda go through, she has already suffered enough. The guilt of Ned's injury has given her a push away from her sanity, but now, the baby could possibly die.
Melinda had to hang on, she couldn't feel her legs, pain increased all over her. Melinda then dropped to the ground in extreme pain. People gathered around her and called doctors. All Melinda could see was people spinning around and round but she couldn't focus on one. But then she noticed one figure that was not spinning, staring at her, with his red eyes. Melinda tried to focus more, but the pain and the dizziness was too much for Melinda. Melinda faced the fear that she might lose her baby. Melinda hit her head on the ground and gave up on trying getting up. People around the hospital called doctors and Melinda was brought into the hospital.
2 hours later Melinda woke up on the hospital bed and she rubbed her eyes. Delia stood over her, watching to see if she was waking up. Jim waited in the waiting room as well. The doctor came walking in with a clipboard and flipped a page over. Jim touched her head lightly and tried to comfort her in the time of fear and pain. Delia sat down and asked what the doctor found. The doctor walked over to Melinda and told her what they have found.
"Melinda, you're perfectly fine, we found nothing wrong without or your baby" said the doctor. Melinda had a tear fall down her cheek as she looked at Jim who just found out she was pregnant.
"Jim, wait!" Melinda said. Jim walked out of the room and Delia ran out with him. Delia knew that she had to try and help Jim through this while Melinda was resting. Delia has known about Melinda's baby secret, but Melinda made a mistake, a big mistake. She never told Jim, because she was waiting for the right time.
"Jim! Wait, hold on once second!" said Delia. Jim slowed down and slowly turned around. Delia tried to explain for Melinda, because Jim didn't want to talk to her.
"Listen Jim, Melinda wanted to tell you, in fact she was going to tell you today, she was waiting because it was getting busy in the other world" Said Delia whispering. Jim looked at Delia and folded his arms. He still couldn't believe that Melinda would hide this for a while after she found this out.
"Delia how's Ned?" asked Jim. Delia used a napkin she found in her pocket to rub the tears that were coming down.
"It doesn't look good. He also has a newly formed blood clot, and not it's making its way up to his heart" Delia said.
"They have to perform a quick surgery now. They are operating on him as we speak" said Delia. Jim hugged her as she cried a little more.
"It seems that the world has suddenly changed, you know? People I love are getting hurt and evil is somehow erupting beneath us" said Delia.
Jim looked into the room where Melinda was crying and he walked in with Delia. Melinda got out of the bed and put her jacket on.
"Jim, I am so sorry" Apologized Melinda. Jim smiled and hugged her.
"We are having a baby!!!" yelled Jim. He picked up Melinda gently and swung her around. Melinda thought of a moment of happiness for once in a long time. Delia smiled and walked to Ned's room. Melinda followed her and Jim came along.
Melinda walked down the halls and noticed a dark shadow watching over people in the hospital. These weren't normal shadows and it wasn't their own shadows. Melinda couldn't put it all in her head. Something was wrong about these shadows. Melinda grabbed her cell phone and went onto the internet; she searched up "shadows" on the search engine and read what mythology would say about shadows.
Lingering Shadows: ~these nasty shadows are demonic forces that are foreboding death in the near future. People who can see the shadows have a warning that those people with shadows will die soon from a supernatural cause.
Melinda dropped her phone on the ground. She noticed that most of the people in the hospital had shadows above them. How could Melinda see these? She doesn't have this gift too. Melinda ran to Delia who had nothing over her head. She sighed in relief that Delia was fine. Melinda saw Jim walk towards her and from there Melinda had her chance to see Jim's fate. Melinda looked at Jim and noticed that he didn't have a lingering shadow.
Melinda sat down and was in complete relief. Melinda explained to Delia and Jim about what she was feeling and seeing. Something big was coming to Grandview and all those innocents will die if Melinda doesn't stop it.
She looked into Ned's room and noticed a cloud above him. Melinda backed away and dropped her purse.
"Melinda, no, please no!" Delia said. Melinda hugged Delia and tried to comfort her. Ned's heart beat flat lined.
