Horse Whisperer (Hiatus)

Chapter 1

"Someone call an ambulance! Please! Mom can you hear me? Mom! MOM!" I  cried shaking my  mom as my eyes filled with tears. All that I could think was that she couldn't leave me. Not yet. Not now.  "I'm sosososososo sorry. My horse was spooked by a-" "I DON'T CARE! YOUR HORSE PROBABLY KILLED MY MOM! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled at the girl cutting her off and getting a surprised look on the girls face. "My mom called an ambulance." the girl said in a whisper and ran off towards the barn. I felt bad for snapping at her but it was my mom. She was all I had of a BIOLOGICAL family.   A few minutes later the air was filled with the sound of an ambulance coming.

When the ambulance arrived four paramedics rushed out, two carrying the stretcher the other two with nothing. "Get this woman on the stretcher now." the older looking male paramedic ordered the other male paramedic.  "Honey. She's going to be okay. What's your name?" the female paramedics asked my. "My na-name is Lu-Luna Everwood." "Okay Luna can you tell me what happened?" "A girl was holding her horse and then it took off and it was running towards my mom. She saw the horse at the last minute and got ran over." "Okay. Do you have a horse here?" "Yes." "Okay how about you go with Martha here and get your horse in your trailer and we will go to the hospital." A lady with a light brown bob came over to me. "Come on darling." "Okay." I walked side by side with Martha to the barn.

I got Rocky while Martha got the tack and grooming box. Martha put the items in the car and let me load up Rocky. "Alright are you ready?" Martha asked. "Yeah. Let's go." I said with a sigh. Martha sat in the back with me and tried to comfort me while the other lady paramedic who's name I found out was Laura drove behind the ambulance. When we reached the hospital I scurried out of the car as fast as I could with Laura and Martha following closely behind. When my mom got out of the ambulance I just broke down. Martha rushed to my side and walked me in. "Let's get you something to eat." We headed to the cafeteria. We walked to one of the desks and asked if my mom was checked into one. But all we got a was 'no'.

"Where could they be?" I said looking around. "They are probably in surgery. I'll go check. Laura will stay with you. Just one second." Martha started to jog towards the surgery room. I  just stood there and waited. After 5 minutes, Laura had to go help a kid who was rushed in because he fell off the playground slide and hit his head . After waiting for 30 minutes I finally  sat down on the floor hugging my knees and rested my head on my arms.

"Luna? Luna can I speak with you?" I raised her head and saw Martha standing with sad eyes. "Sure. What is it?" I said not standing up which caused Martha to sit next to me. " Honey your mom.... She didn't make it. I'm so sorry." I couldn't believe what I just heard. I sat their shocked and then my eyes started to sting. "No that can't be. Please tell me you got her and someone else mixed up." "We didn't. Your aunt is coming to pick you up." "NO! Let me see her." "What?" "I want to see my mom. Please. I need to see her one last time. I have a few things to tell her." Martha gave a understanding nod and stood up.  "Follow me." We walked through lots of different hallways and then we stopped at a door.   "Here we are. Room 304. Go in when you're ready. I'll be right here." Martha said opening the door a little.  "Okay. Thank you for all that you've done for me." "No problem sweetie." She gave me a small smile and went to sit on one of the chairs across the hall.

I walked into the room and heard dead silence. No beeping from the heart monitor, no breathing, nothing. When I saw my mom I rushed to the bedside and fell to my knees. "Mom I'm so sorry. I should have saved you." I grabbed her pale cold hand in my warm, tan, and callused hand and squeezed it. "Mom. If you can hear me, I'm sorry. I know that God took you from me because of how bad the injury was. I just wan't you to know that I'm sorry and that I won't forget you and I love you so much. No one will forget you. I remember when you said one day that if something happened to you to take your ashes and spread them over the hills." Then the door opened and Martha walked in. "Darling it's time." "Okay. One more minute." Martha gave a quick nod and stepped back out of the room.

"I love you so much. I will come to your grave everyday and I won't leave anything out." I kissed her forehead and walked out of the room, closing the door silently behind me. I looked at Martha, "Is my aunt here?" "Yes." I took a deep breath and let it out and followed Martha. We walked back to the front entrance. I saw my Aunt Sally and Marcus. He looked up and yelled my name. "Luna!" "Marcus! Come give me a hug!" I said mocking his tone. I got down onto my knees and Marcus ran over to me. I almost got knocked over from him rushing towards me. "Hey Luna. Are you okay?" he asked looking at me with sympathy."Yes. Aunt Sally what would I do if you didn't live here in town?"I said looking at her and stood up.  "I don't know. Let's go home okay?" "What about Rocky?" I asked with a confused. "I'll drive you home Luna." "Thanks Martha." Martha and I started towards the emergency room.  "See you at your house." Aunt Sally said and I gave a quick nod and jogged up to Martha.
