Sirens.....FLASHES.......

My eyes feel heavy, it's hard to open them. There's some murmuring around me, but I can't make out their exact words. I force my eyes open. I notice a white bright light.

 A...m....Am I in heaven?

"Are you awake you little one"
"GODDD!!!!". I almost screamed
"What?"

It is a lady. Judging by her appearance, she might be in her mid-40s, with blonde hair tied in a bun. She has white attire and it appears as if she's trying to speak to me, but it's getting hard to catch on to what's she talking about. My head hurts so much.

"Are you alright sweety ?"

Now, when I notice the surroundings, I find myself in a bed and everything here is so white that it's making me so difficult to keep my eyes open. I don't like this place already, but this lady standing in front of me has a warm smile on her face that makes me feel good.

"Where am I?"I ask.

This lady has a nervous look on her face

  "You are in a hospital kiddo and I am Doctor Emma, there's nothing to worry about now, you are safe here ."

Safe from whom? why am I in a hospital? where is my family.... I had many questions but I am dizzy 

a...n ..d...

I regain my consciousness again, but now I am somewhere different. This place is much better than the place before. Wow, what is this place? It is too peaceful. Fragrance of the earth, cool breeze, silence this is all I want at this moment. I rest here for some while, but I notice some movement at the corner, by a tree. There's a lady, she looks familiar. She's waving at me. I wave back at her. She's smiling. I can't recognize her face. I got close to her and now I can identify her she's my mother. I started running toward her, tears all over my face. Finally, I found my mother, I wanted her to hug me so badly, I wanted her to comfort me. But I can't reach her. The further I run, the farther she gets. This place is shattering. I am frightened and that made me scream. I open my eyes and this time I am in the same white room in a hospital bed. So it was a dream. Doctor Emma came rushing towards me 

"Are you alright ?"

"Yes, I am fine Thank you. Would you let me meet my family ?" I asked her but her expression changed. She was nervous.

"You can meet them but first would you mind answering some of my questions ?".It was not Emma who spoke 'cause it was a rough voice and surely not of a woman. I peeked behind Doctor Emma and saw a tall man with a heavy build. He was dark and had a long mustache. He would be in his mid-30s and was in a police uniform. He sat beside me and introduced himself "I am Inspector Mathew from the Los Angeles Police Department . Now do you remember what happened the previous night ."

SCREAMS..DARKNESS...BANGS. There was a severe pain in my head. My head was spinning.

"I said you inspector she's not ready for questioning now . She is not fully treated, it would take some time and she's only 16". I heard Dr Emma speak to the inspector. 

I didn't know what was going on. I needed my mom. I started screaming to meet my mom so loudly that Dr. Emma came rushing to me and injected me with something because of which I was losing my consciousness. I asked her "Where's my mother?". I was getting restless. Even if she had not sedated me I guess I would have passed out by her response. Feeling sad for me she responded

"She's DEAD sweety"
