Chapter 8: Unfortunate meeting

Author' Note: I'm sure this will make up for the very short last chapter.The rules still apply for flashbacks or more like they are remembering the past. There are two memories being said. I believe you should be able to tell who is who. This is a general memory from two characters each P.O.V is differentiated by the change in scene. The memory overlaps time was and joins at the same time at the end. Each break line represents a change in whose pov it is.

Italics= memories of past

Regular= the thoughts or feeling as the character looks back at it

Bold= sounds

Unfortunate meetings can lead to unexpected turnouts. However this meeting was one brought upon with no happiness. Only darkness was surrounding our hearts at the time, but through this meeting we found love.

A silence enveloped the both of us. I could see Signum caught up in her thoughts. She must be remebering that day as was a day we could never forget. A day full of heartache

Memory of both Characters

I could still remember that day fresh in my head. I was young then and still am now.

But no one could have prepared me forthiskind of sight.

I was just starting out to as a teacher. I got this bad feeling about some of the male teachers there but since I was new I just let it be.

I should have reported it, my mistake. I wish I could change the past .

Hospital

I remember it was my first day on the job as a doctor. Graduated top of my class and everything. I had just finished my break when a feeling of dread sunk in.

' A feeling I could never forget'

School

It was way after school hours. So I decided to take it upon myself to double check the halls. Every week someone from the teacher's department was to check the part of the school where reconstruction was taking place. And this week was mine. Can never be too careful.

'The sight that was waiting me was burned into memory forever'

It was the night shift so there really wasn't anything for me to do. The surgeons and other doctors were all busy due to a sudden bus crash on the highway. Leaving me all alone so I took my break and ate some dinner. I was new so I worked extra hard before break and was planning to as well after. I went on my rounds after break and made some chit chat with the patients. They liked me since I was so friendly. So I thought today would be a good day.

'How wrong I was'

I was strolling down the hallway when I heard a scream. It sounded like a girl. I started to run and what I saw turned into a living nightmare.

'Why'

I was walking down the corridor when the emergency lights flashed. I was one of the only doctors on duty so I ran to the emergency area. I saw two beautiful young girls covered in blood being rushed down. They were dying if not dead already.

'Why'

"HEY what's going on here". The man ran down the hall. I saw the girl on the floor crying and bleeding. He raped her, hard. 'That sick bastard' I remember thinking as I attempted to run after him.

"P-please don't leave me here"

'How could I deny a simple request like that'

"What's their status". The EMT I asked explained the situation. They feared that the older one would be too far gone to revive. They tried in the van with success but her heart stopped again once they reached the hospital. "Wait we got a pulse". The E.M.T said. They were able to revive her once more.

'What a lucky child'.

"S-save her p-please. We both know I won't make it" The older one said this. She was just revived, where did she find the strength to speak ?

'The hardest decision I ever made'

As I held the crying girl I remembered seeing her around the school. She was always happy and cheerful. Teachers and student loved her alike. Now she was tainted and destroyed. And I was left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. A life he ruined, a right he did not own.

'I'm so sorry for what happened to you'

"Doctor you have to make a choice" If we wait any longer we will lose both of them" This hospital wasn't equipped for such serious matters. We needed two emergency rooms and unfortunately we didn't have the equipment. I was stuck in between two choices. I was playing God. I would be choosing who lives and who dies. A right that no one has.

"Save, no, prioritize the younger one"

"T-thank you"

'I'm so sorry for what happened to you, I truly am'

I wasn't sure if that man was a faculty member, all I could see in this darkness was his flowing blonde hair. Hair I would swear never to forget.

"I should call your parents"

"N-no please don't"

'Why not?' I thought

"How about I bring you to the hospital"

"O-okay but could you bring me to this hospital..." I picked up the crying girl

"D-Doctor"

"Shushh save your strength. Your sister may have top priority but we are still going to try and save you'" Damn "We need an empty emergency room Asap! " I yelled

"We both know she lost too much blood"

"That's not a problem we will give a blood transfusion"

"You can't my blood is the only blood that matches hers"

"What?" confusion marked my face

"You have to take the blood I have left"

"No... you're not even making sense" " Where is that damn surgeon...!

"Trust me by the time you check it will be too late. Please, before it's too late. Before I die"

"I promised her I would stay with her till the end"

'Why are you making this harder for me'

Outside Emergency room

"Hello, are you her guardian?" It was a police officer

"No but I was the one who found her"

"I see well we have some special rules regarding cases like these so we will keep her request" I know the girl didn't want anyone to know but this is ridiculous.

"Really?" I was skeptical. Aren't they bound by law to report it ?

"There are some special circumstances about this case so we will allow it. However make sure not to discuss the details of this event with anyone"

"Yes mam"

'That's weird. What exactly is going on here. And what is so special about it. What should I do. I'm a teacher I have to tell her parents right?'

Emergency Waiting room

"It seems you could use a drink here" A doctor game me a cold coffee.

"Thanks"

"Long day huh. Family?"

"No, a student. Seems you're the same"

"Yeah two patients. I'm waiting on their statuses."

"I see"

" Well my name is Shamal, you can come to me about anything" I reached to shake her hand.

"Signum. Nice to meet you"

It was through the darkness of the world that we met

A day we both hated but chose... no, had to accept.

A/n:so how was it. Do you find it confusing please tell me so I can fix it or try to explain to you what is going on.
