Chapter 4 Trapped in my own body...

Chapter 3

Stacia's pov

I didn't know what was going on around me. I tried to open my eyes but couldn't. I tried to speak but nothing came out. I could hear all these noises and feel people touching me. What was going on? Was my baby ok? Why wasn't anyone saying something to me? I needed to know what the fuck was going on.

I could only hear bits and pieces of what they were saying. It was if my mind was all jumbled up. Did they drug me? I felt like they were talking in some sort of code that I couldn't understand. Where the hell was I? I thought I was being brought to the nearest hospital but now I wasn't so sure. I could feel myself starting to panic. I needed to get out of here.

Did they call Tigra and let her know I was here? Did Darius know what happened? Why weren't they here saving me? I kept hearing this beeping noise that felt as if it was splitting my head wide open. Why was it so loud? I tried to move my arms and legs, but I couldn't Was I tied down? Who would do this to me?

"Hello is anyone there? Please help me!"

I screamed this over and over, but no one listened to me. I felt so alone. I didn't care so much about them helping me. I just needed to know that my baby was ok. I couldn't lose this baby. Would Darius blame me for all of this? He should because it was my fault. I was the one that ran away like a coward and put our baby's life in danger. If we make it through this I will marry Darius and give this baby the life it deserves.

I felt a darkness creeping up on me and trying to take me under once again, but I couldn't let it. I had to stay awake yet was I really awake. I felt as if I was in a dream like fog. Almost like an out of body experience. I just felt like right now I had to fight not only for myself to survive but for my baby to as well. It was as if the darkness was lurking around every corner. I didn't know where I was, but I felt as if I have been here before. I thought I would be laying in a hospital bed but I'm not. I was finally able to move so I got up and just walked out of the room I was in.

I walked down a hall but still didn't see anyone. It was eerily quiet. Was I all alone here? Where were the doctors? Where was my family? I felt so lost right now. I put my hand on my belly realizing I wasn't exactly alone. I felt so cold since all I was wearing was a hospital gown. I walked a little further and saw two doors. One was loud and gave me a sense of dread and panic. The other one had a beautiful white light and filled me with peace. You'd think that would be the door that I would choose to go into, but it wasn't. Something told me once I went in that door there would be no coming out of it.

I went into the door where all the chaos was and saw a bunch of doctor's and nurses working on someone. I felt a sharp pull to this person as if I knew them. The more they worked on them the more I felt I needed to be near them. I got closer and freaked out when I saw that it was me laying there on that bed looking like I was at death's door. Was I dead? How was this even possible.

I felt this pull towards my body. One minute I was standing there next to my body then the next I was in total darkness. As if I was trapped within my own mind. I tried opening my eyes, but I couldn't. I wasn't scared at all I knew everything would be okay. I felt in mt soul that somehow, I would come out of this stronger. I was going to get my happy ever after just you wait and see.

Tigra's pov

I wasn't dumb I knew something was wrong with my sister. I could feel it and there was no way she wouldn't answer when I called her. She always answered. At first, I was just in shock not wanting to hear anything. I didn't want Serenity to call the hospitals because I didn't want to hear that my sister might be dead. That's my worst fear right now.

I know there has to be some reason why Darius stopped in this little no name town after seeing that accident on the interstate. Did he know something I didn't? Was Stacia in that wreck? My mind was going a mile a minute. I had to stay calm and be strong. My sister needs me, and I can't let her down. I kept saying that in my mind to calm myself down when the phone rang. It was a number I didn't recognize but I hurried to answer it in case it was about Stacia.

"Hello."

"Yes, hello is this Miss Tigra Knight?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"I am a nurse at Saint Luke's Memorial Hospital."

"Why are you calling me?"

"We have a patient here that has your number on her phone under sister."

In that moment I felt as if I couldn't breathe. My sister was in the hospital which meant something was wrong. My head was swimming, and I felt as if I was going to pass out. I didn't say anything for the longest time. The lady on the other end must have thought I hung up or something because she cleared her throat I guess to see if I would say anything.

"Is she alive?"

"Yes, she is alive. We think it would be best if her family was here. How soon could you get here?"

"We are not that far from the hospital I could be there in ten minutes."

"OK when you get here go to the front desk and ask them for directions to get to the ICU."

I hung up and felt all color drain from my face. My sister was strong. Hell, she was a beautiful Queen and a force to be reckoned with. This couldn't be happening. She was in the ICU which meant she was hurt, but she was alive. The one thing the nurse didn't say was whether or not the baby was ok. Did they even know she was pregnant?

I went to Serenity and Darius and told them what was going on. Darius looked at me shook his head and said let's go. I know he was only being strong so that I didn't have to be, but I couldn't fall apart again. Now until I knew what was going on with my sister. I just really needed her to be ok. I thought on if I should call our parents or not. I know they don't approve of the whole baby out of wedlock thing. They were crazy religious, but this was different.

Their daughter could be fighting for her life right now and they needed to give it up and get down here. I called them and told them what was going on. I told them if they didn't come now than they could just go on as if they never had kids at all because I would never speak to them again. I don't have time for all their non-sense and hurt feelings. This was a whole new time people didn't have to be married to start a family.

We pulled up at the hospital and walked inside. I instantly shivered because I didn't much like being in these places. I walked up to the front desk told them who I was and where I was going. They gave us all visitor passes and how to get where we needed to go.

Once in the elevator I mentally prepared myself for what I could end up seeing. I looked at Serenity and she didn't look so good. She looked pale and for someone that had beautiful olive colored skin being pale wasn't normal. I was worried about her as well. She told us she's pregnant and all this stress couldn't be good for the baby. Maybe she should get checked out while she was here. I didn't want anything to happen to her or her baby.

We got up to the floor and once again I went to a desk and said who I was. The lady led us into a room for privacy and said that a doctor would be in shortly to explain everything. I know these types of rooms. They take the family in here so that no one else will see them fall apart when they are given bad news. I needed to be prepared to hear the worst.

A man that looked far too young to be any kind of doctor walked in. If I wasn't in such a bad place and my sister wasn't here possibly hurt I would have noticed how fine this caramel hottie was. Instead it was time to get straight down to it. I needed to know what was going on with my sister.

"Are you the doctor?"

"I am one of many doctor's that is helping your sister. First off I want to assure you that she is very much alive and so is her unborn child."

"Oh, thank you so much when can I see her?"

"I need to go over a few things with you before I take you back to see her. For now, it is only immediate family that can see her. Your sister was in a pretty serious car accident and is in Critical condition. She has several broken bones and is bruised all over her body. She suffered some head trauma, so she was put into a medically induced coma to save her life. She is on a ventilator to help her breathe. We are helping that the swelling in her brain goes down so that she won't need surgery. We are doing everything for her as well as her child. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

I just shook my head and thanked him not knowing what to say at the moment. I didn't know if I could do this. I don't know if I could see her like that. The doctor said that only I could go back but he needed to know that there would be no stopping Darius from seeing her. I mean this man was a 6'4 mountain of a man there wasn't much going to stop him.

The doctor must have sensed this because he told us that the three of us could go in and see her and asked if we needed anything while we were here to make us more comfortable since we weren't from around here. He was really nice, but he looked so young was he the best person to be taking care of Stacia?

"Darius, I don't know if I can do this."

"Yes, you can. You're a strong Queen and you won't be in there alone. I got you."

Why my sister ran away from him I will never know. He loves her so much. I wish I could find a man to love me half as much one day. I told Serenity for now I just wanted her to wait here because I knew she wouldn't be able to handle this. She agreed and said she was waiting for Ethan. She called him and told him where we were, and he wanted to be here for her and Darius. I was glad they were going to have someone to lean on. I just hoped my parents showed up, so I had someone I could lean on.
