Carl slides the gate open to Alexandria, only to be greeted by screaming people and a rushing stretcher from the front of Alexandria, heading towards the hospital across the street.
We all flash each other a concerned look and rush over to the hospital.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Aaron what happened?" Carl asks as we speed walk behind the stretcher. I list tentatively.
"Daryl and I were walking in the forest and we saw this girl passed out on the ground covered in blood and we carried her back." Aaron replies out of breath.
"How did you know she wasn't turning?" I ask.
"We checked her for bites marks, and there were none and we looked for a pulse. It was faint, but it was something." Aaron answers.
"Holy shit." Conner comments.
Aaron ignores Conners comment and just runs after the stretcher. Carl, Conner and I stop and take in the chaotic scene before us. People rushing back a forth trying to save the girls life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carl and I approach Aaron on the other side of the girls hospital door.
"Hey Aaron, how is she doing?"
"Well the surgery went pretty well and she's stable. Bad news is she's in a comma and might not survive."
"Oh my god."
"So the plan is to just wait?"
"I guess so."
"Could we... maybe see her?"
"Uh... Sure I guess. Let me ask first."
A nurse leaves a room nearby and Aaron signals to her that he wants to talk to her.
"Do you know if they could see the girl?"
"Alright but only five minuets." She argues. We follow her down the hall and to the left. She opens the door that reveals an African American girl looking around my age, maybe slightly younger laying sound asleep, surrounded by crisp white sheets. Although her skin was dark, I could tell that it was paler than usual. Her body laid still on the bed. She looked so peaceful and so beautiful. The many bandages all over her body and face showed how much damage she took. I felt so bad. She must have been pretty strong to have survived that. Or not survive that.
I sit down on a chair near the bed and Conner sits next to me while Carl stands holding my hand. I look up at his beautiful face and he looks lovingly back at me. We share a moment of understating. I never wanted it to end.
He turns his head back to face the girl.
"Have you identified her yet?" I ask the nurse.
"No not yet. We're hoping in the best scenario that she will wake up and remember everything, but life doesn't always work like that. The only thing we have is a estimated age. We're thinking she could be fourteen or fifteen." I nod my head.
"She must have been through a lot." I suggest.
"Yeah." Carl agrees.
A moment of silence and respect covers the room. We all just stared at her motionless body.
"We should do something for her. You know, when she wakes up." Conner suggests.
"You mean if-" I try to correct him.
"I know it's an if. But if you think negatively, no good can come from that. So let's pretend that she will wake up. And that she will survive, even if she might not."
"We I'm sure she'll love it if- I mean when she wakes up." I smile warmly and so does Conner. I could tell that made him very happy and the last thing this place needed was more depression.
"But doesn't anybody else wonder if she's dangerous? What if she goes after us when she wakes up?" Carl asks.
"Yeah right. A girl who was just in critical condition that was taken in and treated back to health will want to kill us." Conner sarcastically comments.
"I'm just saying. She could be." Carl replies with caution in his voice.
"So any ideas on what to get her?" Conner asks.
"Nope." Carl responds.
"Wait guys i've got it!!!" Conner jumps up in excitement. "Stay right, here i'll be back." And with that Conner takes off, exiting the hospital.
