Vita et Mors - Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil Fanfiction

Chapter 47

A/N: you should all be proud of me - I'm writing this the second after I uploaded my previous chapter! I've also been informed I'm going to see a castle, seals and a film in the next three days. Sooo... A lump of rock, creatures that bite and somewhere to get a crick in your neck, probably watching one of those films in which they speak old English. You know, the stuff you can't understand from pre-21st century?

Messing aside, it's only the castle I'm upset about. And the distict lack of internet and sleep I can hear in my warning bells.

************************************

(Gemma's POV)

I took one last shuddering breath. Car tyres screeched. Horns blared. People gasped. A man shouted my name. Something hit me, strangely warm.

I glanced into the blaring headlights and my world went black.

*********

I'm not letting you find out what happens yet

Nope, still going

You're not there yet

Wondering if she's dead?

This is a bit like slender

Okay, you must be bored

I don't care

Alright, I give up. Here. Still in Gemma's POV.

**************************

... What?

I drifted back into consciousness, my mind screaming for sleep.

My head was pounding, my heart was racing, my palms sweaty, my throat parched. I groaned, hating the fact I was in pain. Stupid life.

"Gemma?" A voice, filled with hope barely whispered. "Guys.... She might be alive!"

"Gem!" A male voice choked as I heard feet skidding closer. "Wake up, please!"

They sounded so desperate. I couldn't open my eyes, the oblivion was calling. That peaceful oblivion.

"No, Gemma, don't go! You can't leave me! NO! Please!" It was like listening underwater. The blackness returned -

I gasped as a hand struck down in my face, effectively waking me into this cold world. My eyes shot open into a blur of colour.

"Gemma," several voices whispered, sounding so grateful. I wondered why, somewhere in my mind.

My vision sharpened and I found myself looking at four of my siblings. Jason wasn't there. "What.."

"You're alive, you're alive," Sophie sobbed, giving me the best hug possible with one arm. Luke aided her by using his arm to make one full hug, then Ethan and David joined in.

"Happened?" I managed to croak out.

"Well," Ethan hesitated, realising no one else was going to speak. "Um, you are in hospital and Jason was as well."

"Jason?" I said immediately, thankful for the water David was feeding to me.

"He saved your life. The second that car hit, Jason threw himself in front of you. The doctors said you would be dead if he hadn't. Jason took that impact for you, Gemma. You owe him your life."

"But..." The dread settled in. "What do you mean... Was?"

I noticed far too clearly how all my siblings cringed. The terror of my actions, my fault returned ten times harder. "What happened to Jason?" I half-yelled, my hands shaking as I shot upright.
