Before The Dawn

Nine - Reality Hit Me Hard

Hyena's POV

"Ahhh! 아파 Apa! My whole body hurts. Where am I?!" I asked myself. "Why can't I open my eyes? Omma... Appa..."

I tried my best to open my eyes. It took all my concentration to do such a simple task. At first, I tried my best to move my fingers. When I was able to do it, that's when I tried opening my eyes again. I can't seem to do it, but after several tries, I finally succeeded.

White light blinded me, as I opened my eyes. After a few seconds, I was able to get accustomed to the blinding light. I was a bit startled when I heard something beeping beside me. I looked at my side, and that's when I saw some machines. There were some tubes as well.

What are these for? I looked at them closely, and that was the only time that I noticed that they were all connected to me.

I was shocked. I looked at my surroundings and I noticed that everything is white. I suddenly felt so scared.

Where am I really? I nervously looked around again, then after a few minutes, I just realized that I am inside a hospital room.

"What am I doing here? Why am I here?" I was so confused.

I don't know why am I here. Why are there so many things attached to my body? Why does my throat hurt? Why do I feel so weak?

I have a lot of things that I need to know. A lot of questions are running in my head, but unfortunately, no one was there to answer them.

"Ahhhh..." I screamed as a sudden pain rushed through my head. My head hurts too much that I want to bang it on the wall.

"Am I having a migraine attack? Ahhh! I haven't had migraine attacks in years. Why am I having it now?" I asked myself while holding my head.

I tried my best to get up from bed. I stumbled a few times, but I was so determined to do it. I didn't know how many times did I try, but I was able to finally get up on my nth try.

I was just sitting on my bed trying hard to think about what happened to me. I suddenly felt dizzy so I decided to lean on one of my pillows, but as I was about to do that, several different images of the accident flashed through my head.

My parents...

Our car...

The accident...

It was like a silent film. Everything flashed through my mind. Different images of my parents looking so happy. I remembered that we were supposed to be at the airport that day. We were supposed to be going to have our annual family trip. We were supposed to be in Greece by now. I remembered how happy we were inside the car. We were even happily listening to my favorite idol group's songs.

My parents were smiling brightly. We were singing and even dancing around. Then out of nowhere, I felt something collide with our car and I saw everything spinning. I tried to look outside the window, but all I saw are blurred images of the sky. Dad tried his best to react quickly, but as he knew that he couldn't do anything anymore, he decided to do what he thinks would be the best. I felt him wrap his body around me and Mom. I could still hear the last thing he told me. 

I love you, Princess! Do not worry about us!

Also, I remembered looking at Mom. She was holding my hands while she was crying. She tightly held me as she whispered, I love you, my dear!

"Ahhhhh..." I was screaming loudly now.

"Omma..."

"Appa..."
