Chapter 5: The Hospital
Nessie's POV
There was no way I could accurately describe what happened. Even though it tried to stop the car plowed into the right side of my body.
I was pushed several yards. I could feel massive scrapes and cuts appear on my body in multiple places. My face included. I may have even broken something but I wasn't 100% sure about that.
I felt very disoriented but somehow I still managed to jump up. Much to the shock of the witnesses. I looked at the car and instantly knew that it had sustained much more damage then I had. Sometimes I swore that my body was made out of steel.
The driver, I could tell that she was another member of the Cullen family just by looking at her, seemed completely shocked at my actions.
I turned and ran away as fast as I possibly could. Not even bothering to try and go at a normal speed. I ran straight into the forest with no idea where I was going.
I didn't stop until I arrived at a river. I collapsed from exhaustion. I took the time to examine my body slowly. Most of my injuries already looked a few weeks old rather then a few minutes.
Did I ever mention that I can heal at an exceptionally fast rate? Well I can. That little ability appeared when I was 13 years old. It all depends on the severity of the injury. Something small like a paper cut will take only a few seconds to heal. Something more serious will take a few minutes.
I decided that it was best just to lay there and wait it out while I healed before going home. That way there'd be no questions from my parents. They'd freak out for sure if they found out that I had gotten hit by a car.
"Oh my goodness there you are!"
I gasped when I heard someone else arrive. I immediately recognized the woman as the driver of the car.
"I've been looking all over for you. I was so worried after you just ran off like that. What were you thinking young lady? You could've gotten more hurt!"
The worry in this woman's voice was real. It touched me.
"I'm fine. Really I am"
"Fine? Fine? Young lady you were just hit by a car. My car to be exact. You are the exact opposite of fine. You need to go to a hospital right now"
"No. No hospitals. Really I'm fine"
"Young lady I'm not taking no for an answer now come on.
I had a feeling that this lady wasn't going to take no for an answer. Something about her told me that I shouldn't even try to get out of the situation either.
She remained standing there. Waiting patiently for me to get up.
"Okay you win" I say reluctantly. "By the way my name is Renesmee but most people call me Nessie"
"Nice to meet you I'm Esme"
"Good now let's go" she said as she helped me get up.
"Why didn't you just let me run off? I mean I think that's what most people would've done. Not escort me to the hospital themselves"
"Well Nessie I'm not most people. I wanted to make sure that you were okay. I already called my husband and told him what happened. He agreed that you should come in immediately
"Is he a doctor?" I asked.
She smiled. "He's the best and kindest Doctor that I know and I'm not just saying that because he's my husband either"
She seemed like such a kind woman that I could not help but trust. She was so warm and motherly.
I sighed when I saw Esme's car. The car had definitely sustained more damage then I had. There was no doubt about that at all. Thankfully she didn't say anything. After all normal people don't leave dents in cars.
She kept looking at me to. As if she was making sure that I was still okay. Maybe she was noticing my accelerated healing process but she wasn't saying anything about it. If that was the case I was , again, thankful that she didn't say anything about it.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Esme asked me. Still looking as worried as ever.
"I'm fine. Really I am. You don't worry"
"Young lady you were hit by a car. Do not tell me not to worry. Of course I'm going to worry" she chastised.
I laughed which was physically painful for me right now. Who said laughter was the best medicine?
As soon as we pulled into the hospital I spotted the man that I immediately knew was her husband. These Cullens are all too familiar.
He seemed to spot us almost immediately as well.
"Carlisle this is Renesmee"
"How're you feeling Renesmee? Faint? Dizzy?"
"I'm fine. Really-"
"Renesmee come with me please. You were hit by a car. I will be the judge of whether or not you are fine"
I reluctantly followed.
"I must say though your injuries don't seem as severe as my wife described" he said.
"I heal fast" I shrugged my shoulders as if healing faster were a normal condition.
I wasn't paying attention so when he stopped walking at didn't notice in time and I accidentally walked right into him.
"You what?" he asked in shock.
"I heal fast"
"Hmm"
"I, uh, don't understand"
"Neither do I Renesmee"
"It's Nessie. Please"
He looked to deep thought. Way too deep in thought.
"You okay Dr. Cullen?"
He snapped out of whatever trance he was in.
"I'm fine Nessie and please just call me Carlisle"
"Okay Carlisle"
"Anyway here we are in my office. I'm going to run some tests on you and see if there's anything to worry about"
"Okay" I said.
He did a lots of x rays of my body. I did have several fractures but according to him they looked like they were weeks rather then hours old. Something that completely baffled the poor Doctor.
"Nessie I'm going to take a blood sample from you now"
"What? Why?"
"I need to run some tests and I need your blood for it"
"What kind of tests?"
"Nessie please just trust me on this. I'll let you know in a few days if I see a problem but I need your blood. Now"
