Elsa
"Miss? Mam can you hear me?" I try opening my eyes but a bright light blinds me. I feel someone force my eyes open only to see a brighter light shine. "Elsa?" I hear the man say. My eyes fully open now and I feel myself being moved.
"What?" I ask and try to sit up.
"It's okay" a woman wearing scrubs says to me.
"Talk to me Dare" a man in a lab pay says.
"1 broken rib and broken arm, ct came in clear" she I grab her hand. She looks down on me.
"Alright people page fetal for a consult 911. It's a miracle this girl's alive"

I open my eyes only to be blinded by the light again. I blink a couple of times attempting to clear my vision. I tried running my eyes but something hard hit me. I look at my left arm and see a white cast covering it. I'm in a white room, aside from paintings covering the walls, the room's limited with color. "You're up" the nurse says coming in. It was the same one as before. She carried a tray of food and put it by the nightstand. She walks over and examines the machinery I'm hooked to.
"Where are my friends, and my sister? And Jack?"
"They are either in surgery or in recovery" she says.
"Can I see them?" She sighs and sits in the edge of the bed.
"I'm not sure baby" she says. "I'm going to be honest with you, some of them might not survive" I look down at my hands.
"Dare, right? What are the chances of survival? Who has the better chance?"
"I'm sorry but I don't know, we don't decide who dies and who lives. It all depends on who is fighting to stay alive. They could fight or they could stop, they determine if they live" I look up at her. "Your parents are outside, they've been waiting for you to wake up"
"Can I see them?"
"Pretty sure they're already here" she says getting up. My parents run in the room towards me and hug me.
"You arm" my mom gasps.
"I'm fine, it's just broken, really"
"Why on earth were you guys on the private plane? And your sister was in it too along with your friends? Elsa the amount of-"
"I-I'm sorry" I say interrupting my dad.
"At least you're not hurt, we can still keep the contracts and the company won't loose much" my mom says.
"The company?" I ask.
"Yes, hopefully the insurance will cover it and-"
"Hiccup's dead mom!" I say almost crying.
"Maybe you should leave her to rest" Dare says.
"But we just-"
"She really needs it" she says interrupting my dad. They leave the room and she shakes her head looking at me once they do. "I got charts on your friends" she says. I sniff and wipe my eyes.
"Are they okay?"
"I'm sorry but I can only tell you if you're family"
"Anna, my sister?"
"She's in a coma now, but she shows no sign of not waking up" she looks down at the charts. "Your cousin, has two broken legs, and she needs a couple of surgeries to keep from becoming paralyzed. She's heading for recovery. Her husband is in surgery now, his lungs gots crushed but everything else can be repaired."
"What about Jack?"
"I'm sorry, but I can only show-"
"He is family..He's my husband"
"Husband?" She asks. "But your parents said-"
"They don't know" I sigh. "We got married a couple of days ago" Her eyes soften and she gives me a small smile.
"Your parents don't know, do they?"
"They wouldn't approve" I say. She looks back down at the chart.
"Well Mrs.Frost, Jack is doing well, he's needs time to recover, a couple of days give or take"
"When can I see them?"
"I'll try to check, but I'm pretty sure your red headed friend is good" I swing my legs over the bed and try to stand but fall back. Nurse Dare laughs a bit. "You were just in fetal care, your meds haven't worn out yet" she says walking over. I put my legs back on the bed and she covers me with the soft, blue hospital sheets. "Let's try again tomorrow" she says and I nod. "It's pretty late, I'll tell your parents to come back another time" she says checking her watch. She turns off the lights before leaving the room. "Night Elsa"
I don't bother answering. The charts might've said that everyone's okay but my gut tells me something else.
