Shaking as she tried her hardest to listen to the
doctor in front of her, but her eyes kept searching
for her parents. For any sign of them. To hear any
news of them. But there was nothing when the doctor
pulled her into another room. “I’m okay, I just — “ 

Her words stopped as the pain from the accident was
starting to come back. Her head throbbed from, and her
whole body ached. Her hand reached up to her head and
pulled it away when she felt a liquid coming form her skin.
A red liquid — blood. “What happened?” She asked
wondering if anyone even knew. 

“The  paramedics that  brought you in said there’d
been  an  accident,”  Teddy  explained,  her  voice
level   and  soothing. “The  roads  were  really  icy
today;  your dad must have hit the ice wrong while
driving.    But  you’re  safe  now,  sweetheart  —  I
promise.”

                   When  she  saw  the blood on Ellis’ hand, Teddy’s
                  brow  furrowed in concern. Head injuries could be
                  tricky, symptoms always  lying  in  wait  —  there
                  might  have  been  blood  blossoming  in that little
                  girl’s brain, and Teddy would have been no warier
                  than  the  next.  “Oh,  honey.  That’s  got   to   hurt.
                  Come on, I’ll get you fixed up.”
