Pain. Red pain. Through my whole body. I could feel a beating pulse through my whole body.
I tried to get up, but stopped as the pain intesified. Where was I?
It came back suddenly, and my eyes pulled open. All I could see was the red seat in front of me.
Red? Wasn't the seats tan colored?
I moved my left arm and all I could do was gasped. There was a sharp sensation stabbing up and down my body.
I clenched my eyes shut until the pain subsided. I twitched my right arm carefully. It moved with less pain. I opened my eyes and brought it up with difficulty. My fingers wiped something warm and wet off my cheek. I brushed my fingers over my nose and my face exploded in pain.
I moaned, squeezing my eyes shut. The sound was the only thing I could hear.
My breath felt wet, my chest rattling. I coughed and my throat cleared.
Something shifted beside me, and I opened my eyes. Darting red spots blocked my vision, but they cleared, and I saw Jamie. She lay like a broken doll, slumped sideways, her belt holding her up as if she were doing it herself.
"Jamie?" I croaked, coughing again. I felt the wetness slide down my chin.
She shifted again, a groan building in her throat.
I half turned, and with my other arm pulled her hair aside, and in the street light I saw her face was covered in blood. Her nose was streaming. She breathed in deeply, making sucking sounds as she struggled to breathe. I frantically wiped at her nose, clearing it away.
I felt around her jaw and then gently pulled her mouth open so she could breathe.
"Kr...?" she said softly, eyelids fluttering.
"Don't move-" I warned her, but she tried to sit up.
Her face crumpled and she fell back, fainting away.
I put my hand into hers, and rested my head back against my pillow. I thought about giving it to Jamie, but I didn't want to move her.
I thought I heard a faint whispering.
"It's destiny.
We're forever tied,
and you know it,
So just trust me this once,
and leave our fate with
Destiny."
I shifted my legs, and then the black came, but not before I heard the shrill wail of a siren above the whispering....
