The Fire Inside Me ***completed***

Chapter 10

I tried to open my eyelids but they wouldn't budge, so I just listened. People ran about yelling stuff, buttons were getting pressed that rose me up and up, someone opened my mouth and stuck a long silver object inside. Was I at a dentists?
"No teeth were broken or lost" the person said pulling away.
"She managed to break a lot of bones, but she still is alive" another person added messing with something above my head.
"But she will live right?" Zoe asked kissing my forehead. Why did Zoe care!? I thought she hated me because of the dish accident.
No one answered which wasn't reassuring, I was gonna die, I saw it coming. Just not this close.
"Zoe And Bert you can talk to her, I know she's listening" the guy above my head said scooting away on a rolling chair.
"We are sorry, we shouldn't have kept you locked up like that!" Bert added, as he brushed me with his soft lotioned hand.
"And I'm sorry for yelling at you so much, I know it wasn't you inside it was HIM" Zoe kissed me then started crying into Berts shoulder, the muffled sound made my head twitch.
The doctor guy came back and started sticking needles into my body and moving bones back together. The pain I felt was dreadful, imagine getting ran over by a dump truck five times then having to get your blood drawn minutes after that!
"My baby, my little girl!" Zoe continued to wail, muffling her sobs with Berts shoulder.
I managed to move my arm the tiniest bit, when the doctor was done placing my bones together.
"Does she have any severe reactions to whale oil or seal glue?" The doctor asked Zoe.
"Not that I've heard of!"
Panic spread through my body, I do remember my real parents saying something about not using seal oil, but not seal glue. Was it the same? Maybe my allergies to this, if I had any, would kill me!
The rolling chair scooted closer, he stuck a wet rag inside my mouth then pressed two cold bars against my skin. The freezing water from the rag dripped into my throat then tumbled down into my stomach.
"1...2...3" he pushed one bar into my skin making it swell up like a balloon. He put a weird, cold, ointment on my broken bones making me twitch. Pain spread a lot.
"1...2...3" he did the same method causing even more pain shoot through my veins and pinch at my heart.
"This should fix her right up!" He scooted towards Zoe "and if he comes back, get the bow ready" he whispered to were I didn't hear much. They gulped then shaked their head violently.
I was lifted onto a wheelchair then the doctor stuck to metal lights in front of my eyes, he melted away all the goop that held my eyes shut. I could see! Zoe wore her knitted blue sweater and a blue evening gown and Bert wore his work attire I saw him wearing the night before. They both looked mangled and distressed. The doctor slapped his cold gloved hand against my face, I heard a pop and my jaw was re-aligned.
"Ok, Jackie wiggle your mouth for me"
I wiggled my mouth and more pops happened.
"That should do it!" The doctor said triumphantly. Zoe and Bert wheeled me out of the room and stopped half way through the hallway at the receptions desk.
"Hi Ma'am how may I help you" the receptionist asked looking up from her stack of papers.
"We would like to check Jaqueline Ross out" Zoe continued staring gleefully at me.
"Oh" the receptionist pulled Zoe and Bert behinds her desk and started muttering to them. Berts face appeared next to me, he looked even more sad then when someone's dog died. He kissed me on my cheek then started pushing me across the hall and back to the room I came from. Zoe followed close behind wiping her eyes on a delicate handkerchief made of nice blue felt. Thoughts continued to swirl around my mind filling my heart with sadness and hope. I was gonna die, I knew it. At least I lived my life to the fullest. The fullest I could. I was prepared to die. I was ready, my heart was in pain but I knew it would go when I pass.
"I'm gonna die, I know it" I muttered looking up at Bert as he came to stare into my eyes. He didn't answer, which I knew was a yes. He pressed his cold lips against my forehead leaving a slobbery mess dripping off and onto my wheelchair. He was more slobbery today then ever. The doctor picked me up and layed me back onto the bed. A cold gust of wind trailed through my spin. Then another gust of air curled up my legs, making my stomach tingle. I could see a faint glowing light somewhere in the distance. My whole body got wrapped around in warmth and sunshine. At least I think it was sunshine! Suddenly I was floating in mid air surrounded by white fluffy clouds. A voice rang in my ears. Beware Jackie for you have fallen. I tried to shout back to it, asking what it means. But there was nothing but silence. My heart bested faster and faster, than suddenly it...stopped. I was dead. My body cold, yet still glistening in the light. My dead ears could still hear the loud sobs of Zoe and Bert. Blackness swept over me. I was in a body bag, like on a murder show. Then my eyes, ears, stopped. I was lying still, dead.
