Potential Anatomy

Chapter 11

"Alannah!" The voices rang what felt like hours later. I was cold... And wet.
I didn't have the energy to get up. I didn't want to get up. Besides the voices weren't real right?

"Alannah!" This time Theodore voice sounded close. More voices sounded behind his.
"Theodore!" I mumbled as I coughed hard. "Help... Help!" I pushed my voice out through my aching throat as I tried standing forgetting about my leg I cried out as the pain radiated through my leg and up my body making me nauseous. I reached towards the hole. Tears sprung anew as I held my arm out. "help..." I mumbled as the voices started disappearing again. This time I couldn't hear Theodore's voice. His voice... His soothing warm voice. He sounds so worried.
Why would he be worried about you. He could probably care less if you froze to death or lived.  My sub conscious snapped as I closed my eyes. I'm so tired... I start to fall back as I cry, trying one last time. "Theodore! HELP YOU FILTHY BUGGER!" Tears fell down my face as I fell back. 
"Alannah!?" I heard Theodore's voice as I opened my eyes looking up. To weak to move.  " Hey shes here! " He yelled. Tears fell down my face anew. "Theodore!" I sobbed reaching towards him. 
"Alannah! You need to calm down. I'm here.... Why can't you move?" he asks as he looks in. "My leg, its stuck under the rocks. I can't pull it out."  He frowns staring in. "Alannah were going to get you out." 
 I look up at him as he turns around and looks at people as multiple voices can be heard.
"Alannah!" I hear the girls voice yell as Avery's face comes into view as more tears fall down my face. "Avery! Theodore. " I cry. "I want to get out. I want to go home." I sob as Avery starts crying.
"I know sweetie I know. We'll have you out soon. " she murmurs. Theodore looks over at the people as he nods then looks at me.
"Alannah. I need you to listen to me. You need to relax and breath.... " He pulls off his jacket shoves it through the hole and tosses it to me. "You need to cover your face okay?" He orders as Avery moves away. I start to panic again. "No... No Theodore dont leave me! Don't leave me here" I sob as he looks at me.  
"Alannah! Alannah. We're going to get you out but you need to do as I say. Put the jacket on your face!" I nod doing as Im told putting his jacket over my face. Its warm and covers my torso as well, it smells of him. A few seconds later there is a big boom as rocks fall from the ceiling, the rocks on my leg putting more pressure as I cry out, but then lights pour in through the dust as I look up. "Alannah!" I hear Theo. "Theo! Help me!" I cry as Theodore runs in with a rescue team. He kneels beside me as I grab for him crying breathing heavily. 

Theodore holds me as pressure soon leaves my leg. I cry out as pain shoot through my leg. It hurts so bad, the smell of blood filing the air.  Theodore pulls me out and into his arms as I hug him crying. "Its okay Alannah, you're safe." Theodore murmurs. Those are the last words I hear before Im cascaded in darkness. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beeping is all I can hear. I'm warm. Too warm. I stir and open my eyes, I feel weak, so so weak. Assessment time. My arm aches, my face aches, my stomach aches, my leg doesn't even feel like it exists.  I look around the room it's completely white with a TV in the corner, a couch looking thing in front of a vast window and a chair in the corner next to a sink and table. The table holds a vase of flowers and balloons. Closing my eyes I turn my head to see a bathroom and more flowers. Another chair sits next to my bed which is vacant at the moment.
I wonder who's been here. And second. Where the hell am I?
I take a breathe and look at my arms. One has a IV and the other is wrapped in bandages. My leg is wrapped in a cast and being held up in the air by a sling. What happened... Closing my eyes I think of the last thing I remember. I'm in a cave a hand from a light reaches out and then... Then... What? I frown opening my eyes. I don't remember...
The sound of the door opening makes me jump as I look over a doctor walking in.

(Mr.Hast POV)

I sigh sitting in the car as my driver drives me towards the hospital. I had to cancel the meeting with Mr.Hoyt. he seemed upset about it but what do I care it wasn't like we were going to have a real conversation. I was going to liquidate his company.
But at the moment my only interest was when Alannah woke up. I needed to be there. The car pulls into the hospital as I get out. "Take the rest of the day off I'll be here over night." My driver nods and takes off as I walk into the building. The hospital is so bare.  Obviously it's for people in poverty. My subconscious sneered. This is what Alannah is always talking about. This is what she lives for. Helping all these people making sure there are enough beds for each child. She's a citizen solider and I should have seen that before she ran off. Shaking my head I walk by everyone and into the elevator.
She was so scared in that cave. She looked as if she were in her videos. She was vulnerable. The elevator jolts to a stop as I step out on Alannah room floor. Walking down the hallway I notice her room door is ajar. The doctor must be checking on her.
Slowly I push it open as Doctor Clyde turns to me as I look at him then at the Apple emerald eyes. She's awake.  I take a breath and quickly walk over.
"Alannah."
"Mr.Hast we should talk..." I ignore the doctor and lean down hugging Alannah but she doesn't hug back or protest.
"Oh Alannah I thought I lost you." I murmur. But she still doesn't move. I pull away from her and she's staring at me completely confused, shes not hugging me back... she's not protesting, and she's not slapping me. something is off. Quickly I glance at the doctor frowning.
"She doesn't remember anything." He murmurs as my eyes widen and I look at Alannah. She doesn't remember. This beautiful feminist who would hit me for hugging her. Doesn't. Remember. Anything... This nightmare... Just turned into hell....
