Ella's P.O.V.

I was floating on the edge of my mind, where that light people always tell you to stay away from is, the part where you get to choose- Do you really want to wake up? It would be so easy to go. To slip away. To die. But I don't want to die right now. My life is okay- or well, its becoming okay. I want to live.

Beep... Beep... Beep. The now familiar sounds of the hospital slowly came into focus. What happened? Did I pass out again? Then memories came flooding back. Ivy, the pure pain, the blood. I felt my body shaking, and tears started rolling down my checks.

"Guys I think she's awake," Mitch whispered.

"Thank goodness," Scott said in a hushed voice.

I heard hurried footsteps and someone took my small hand in theirs.

"Ella sweetie, your safe now. Please open your eyes," Scott whispered.

My eyelids felt soo heavy. I concentrated on opening my eyes. They slowly fluttered open. My body was shaking almost violently at this point and my vision was blurred. I blinked slowly as my vision gradually came into focus.

Scott and Mitch were standing side by side on the left side of my bed. Kristie, Kevin and Avi. we're on the right. Kirstie was holding my hand gently. She leaned down and gently gave me a hug. When she pulled away I caught a whiff of her perfume. It smelled like roses. Just like my mom's used to.
"Ella," Said Avi gently," what happened? Ivy wont say a word.

My mouth felt dry. And my throat felt like it has a weight on it. Like how it feels when you try not to cry. But I opened my mouth anyway and took a shaky breath.

"Ivy is the orphanage bully, I said in a barely audible voice. She's always angry because no one ever adopted her. And she take her anger out on everyone else. Especially the ones who are getting adopted. She's never done something like this though. I guess she was extra mad because of how old I am."

"Okay," he said as he gave me a reassuring smile. Don't worry about her any more sweetheart. She's never going to come near you again.

"When can I leave the hospital?" I asked.

The doctors said you can go home three hours after you woke up, said Kevin. He reached over and gave my hand a squeeze.
"I'm glad your okay."
