Torn Apart

Chapter 13

Painfully, and wholeheartedly I struggled to my feet and took off into the night. Once I stumbled far enough from the house, I dropped to my knees in the tall grass and began to crawl. The pain I felt was incredibly unbearable, shooting from my ribs and spreading to the rest of my body. I crawled slowly across the field hoping that Taker and his gang wouldn't discover my disappearance. I was still close enough to the house that if they started a search, I would be as good as found in five minutes.

About halfway across the felid I heard Taker's bellowing laughter ring out into the night. He and the guys must have been getting ready to go out for a ride like they always did. I stopped crawling and laid still until I heard their engines roaring to life. As I laid there I began coughing up blood.

"Damn it." I whispered knowing that I had internal bleeding somewhere. I had to get to a hospital and fast or I could possibly die. When Taker and his guys left the house, I forced myself to my feet and started following the road. My vision became blurred as I held myself against trees every few steps. When I was close to town, my legs gave out on me and I collapsed into the dirt. A car that had been coming up behind me pulled over and I heard someone get out. I started to crawl away until I heard a familiar voice,

"Hey…Hey are you alright?"

I gasped and looked over my shoulder, and saw a woman slowly approaching me. She was kind of tall with dark brown hair, a face that was too blurry to see.

She walked up closer to me looking down in shock. "Katrina?"

I coughed up more blood scaring the hell out of her. "Oh my gosh what happened to you?"

"C-Can't talk…please…help me." I said before falling unconscious.

5 hours Later

I regained consciousness in a panic, wondering where I was and if Taker had discovered my being gone. The woman who rescued me grabbed my arms as I kicked and screamed telling them I needed to get out of there.

"We're going to have to sedate her if this keeps up." The doctor said.

"No!" I yelled. "Please you can't do that to me…if you do he'll kill me…"

The lady looked at the doctor with a look of concern, "I'll talk to her doc, please give us a few minutes."

The doctor nodded and headed out of the room. I was about to push her away from me when I looked into her eyes for the first time and realized who she was.

"Sara?"

She smiled and slowly released me, "I thought you would recognize me..."

I shook my head in shock, "I-I don't believe it…you can't be…"

"I know it's hard to believe but…I'm here…" she said as she placed her hand on her round belly.

"You're pregnant?" I asked with excitement.

She nodded her head, "Yeah, six months…but enough about me-"

"-No not enough about you….my uncle went to jail for your murder! And here you are now…"

She rubbed her belly and then started pacing around the room. "I faked my death Katrina…John and I knew that it was only a matter of time before Taker came for me for my betrayal so we had to do something."
