I awoke amidst blood and chaos, my vision blurred and the sounds around me were strange and unfamiliar.
A strange sensation had taken over me, taking over my whole body and messing with my head and memory. My hearing is all over the place, a piercing buzz in the back of my head.
I have no idea where I am or how I got here. I can make out the shapes of tall figures in the dark that surrounds me.
My hands touch something wet and cold, as I take my hand back it comes back crimson.
My legs have betrayed me, forcing me to find my way on my hands and knees as I wait for my vision to return to me.
Bits and pieces are coming together as the haze that blinded me starts to disappear from my cornea.
The tall figures around me turn out to be trees, the greenery of a forest surrounds me. I try to focus, trying to find my way where I came from. The last thing I remember was driving down the road with my little sister and her boyfriend. Now, silence surrounds me.
It's hard to focus my sight on one thing, I strain my eyes in an effort to make out what is close in front of me.
I immediately wish I hadn't.
In front of me is more of the crimson liquid that already covered my hands and knees. A car tippled over, my car.
Which lays below it is what truly haunts me.
A single arm can be spotted coming from underneath, a pale arm matching my own skin.
It doesn't take long for me to put one and one together. As I realise what has happened, a shriek leaves my body before it ends in a heartbreaking sob.
My chest feels heavy and my heart has by now surely broken in two. As I sob and Crawl towards the wreckage, I pray that it is not true, surely this cannot be happening.
The girl who I held in my arms moments after she was born, who I protected with my life, who I helped raise as if I were her second mother. She now lay broken and lifeless in front of me, and my heart lay there with her.
I closed the distance between us, placing my pale bloodied fingers gently on her cold and still ones. I held her hand as my body trembled and sobbed for what felt like and probably was for hours on end.
She was my life, my ray of sunshine and happiness. And now she was taken from me and I could not even remember how this happened.
A sliver of a memory comes to me though it does not enlighten me of what happened. I vaguely remember an ear-bleeding scream and a flash of light and the touch of someone's hand grabbing my arm. I look around me, attempting to tie it to my surroundings but my mind comes up blank. Nowhere around me is my sister's boyfriend to be seen either.
Was this flash of a memory the moment of the crash? I do not remember, and frankly, I can't be bothered to care as I continue to hold my sister.
The sky which was a dark grey when I awoke turned to black until I could hardly see in front of me, still I held her hand in mine.
At some point, I must have lost consciousness as I awoke to the sound of twigs snapping. My eyes open slowly as they take in the darkness around me, attempting to make out where the sound came from.
I hear it again; I prop myself up on my elbow. There is a rustling sound coming from the bushes near me. I am not alone.
By the lack of lights and the fact that the sound is coming from the woods I doubt that it is any of the help services coming to find me. Meanwhile, all the sounds around me seem heightened which sends my hairs upright.
A small rumble comes from the dark, a growling sound reaches my ears and I am immediately on edge.
Whatever is close, it is not human.
