Forest Deep

Chapter 11

I waited impatiently, walking back and forth, sitting in uncomfortable chairs, and biting the free edge of my nails. I have been a wreck since I found my father flat lined. The doctors have been working hard to save him. It's been three hours, with no update on his condition. A nurse came from the doors and I stood from the seat. I looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"You have an option Evelyn. We can keep him on life support and wait until he wakes up or take him off life support. It is up to you. I'm sorry there wasn't anything else we could do." She walked back through the doors she entered. I stared at the door.

He was there, dying. Why couldn't they save him? Silver can kill but our bodies should be able to heal after awhile. I should have been there instead of fiddling around with Ethan! I could have saved him!

"Eve?" I heard a whisper in the back of my mind. Except it wasn't in my mind. It was some one actually speaking to me. My vision focused on the blond in front of me. It was Veronica.

"What do you want?" I snarled at her. She took a step back. Either from surprise or fear, maybe both.

"Eve, what's going to happen to papa?" She whispered. She looked at me with tears swelling in her eyes. I looked out the hospital window.

"We leave him on life support. No one is allowed to enter the room other than the doctors and myself." I felt her presence come closer. 

"What about our mother? Me?" I turned to her with a stone cold glare.

"You mean your mother. She can grief away from him, she isn't strong enough. And as for you, look around and think. Alpha wouldn't have been in this situation if you just stayed out of the damn forest!" She took a step back and hid her face from me. I could hear the tears roll on to her cheek.

"You're right. And I'm sorry. And I know sorry wouldn't do anything to bring him back or fix any of this but it's all I can say and do for  now." She glanced at me before leaving me alone.

I sighed and fell into the chair. Why did this all have to happen in one day? First, my mother. Second, my father. Third, my step-sister. I could feel my anxiety trying to get the best of me. My heart was racing. My throat harden with a lump. My eyes burned with tears. I collected myself into a ball like figure. And for the first time in a while, I let myself cry.

After my melt-down and keeping my father on life support, I left the hospital. I walked slowly on the same path that I walked on before. I kept a close look out for my mother and her side-kick. Who was he anyway? He was our kind but why would he associate with her? I pondered on that thought until I reached the village. I was immediately hugged by Ethan. He picked me up and spun me around twice before putting back down.

"Evelyn, baby, are you okay?" He asked searching my face for something. "I heard what happen, and I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you." He said looking straight into my eyes. I blamed him for so much, even if he did nothing wrong. I felt guilty and wanted to cry again. I buried myself into his arms.

"I'll be fine, he's alive and that's all that matters." I whispered. He rubbed my back as we stood there. I sensed something was wrong, call it intuition but I pushed him away. Suddenly an arrow came right in between us. Gasps and howls and ruckus of running appeared suddenly like the arrow.

I stood dazed and confused. Ethan was yelling at me but I couldn't hear him or anything in fact. Everything was turning into a blur. I looked down at the blood dripping from my hands before passing out.
