Tattooed Luna

“DAMNIT BREATHE!” | heard before something heavy pounded my chest.

“KRISTEN!” Emmy's cries broughtback as the water expelled from my body.

“She’s alive!” | heard someone yell before my body was picked up and wrapped tightly in something warm.

“She needs a hospital fast!” | wasn’t even sure who was carryingas | was lifted up. The cold ran bone deep and | couldn't stop

shaking.

“Give her here.” | heard someone say before | was passed off. It wasn't a moment later that the blanket was ripped from my frozen

grip and | was pressed against a warm body. The sparks toldAlec had found me.

“Drive.” Alec said angerly as he positionedon his chest. My body was completely covered but he kept opened it to look at me.

“Stay awake. Don’t you dare close your eyes.” He growled and commanded me.

“Nnnnice....ttttry.” | said as my teeth chattered together.

“What won't work?” Alec asked in confusion.

“Commmmmandddding mmmme.” It hurt to breath. Hurt to move but | tried to get my body as tightly against Alec as | could. His

arms were tight, holdingagainst him.

“Don’t talk right now. Just stay away.” Alec said a little softer.

“Nnnnnooot rrrrooggggues.” | tried to speak again.

“Shhh, we will talk later.” Alec moved hish ands up and down my body to try to warm me.

“Two minutes.” | heard someone say.

My mind was becoming clearer as the shivering wasn’t so violent. “Pppppennny? “Eeemmmy?”

“They are alive.” Alec grunted as the car cto a stop. He pulledout into the cold, makingshrink back and hold onto

him.

“Put her here!” | heard a woman say.

Alec listened and setdown but | didn’t want him to letgo. “Nnnnno!” | tried to reach for him but he wasn’t there.

“Weak pulse, slurred speech, her breathing is shallow and she is blue!” | heard voices but | wasn’t comprehending. Where was Alec

and what happened to Emmy and Penny?

“Get an L.V. going. Sir, you are going to have to wait outside.” A male voice said. My body reacted on it’s own and moved away

from his voice.

“NO! NO!" | screamed as Darin’s face flashed before my eyes. “DON'T TOUCH ME!” | tried slapping their hands away. The light was

too bright and | couldn’t see anything. “DON'T TOUCH ME, DARIN!” | screamed.

“Kristen!” Alec's voice sounded beside me. “Darin is dead. You are alive. You are not trapped there anymore. Listen to me. Listen to

my voice.” My body instantly relaxed as | heard his voice.

“Alec?” | asked as a sob hit me. “Too bright.”

“We have to get an I.V in her before her body shuts down from the cold. She is hypothermic and will die!” The male voice said.

Shrinking away from him, | held onto Alec like my life depended on it. “She has been through sever trauma in the past. Is there a

female doctor? She isn’t afraid of females.” | heard a voice | recognized.

“Kristen. | am a nurse and | want to help you. Can | touch you?” The softest voice sounded to me.

| didn’t speak but | nodded yet. Between her and Alec, they movedback to the middle of the bed. Alec kept ahold of my hand

the entire time. “Let her save you, love.” Alec whispered to me.

“Can | start an 1.V.?” She asked as she stroke my arm.

Again, | nodded yes. “Can we turn the lights down?” The familiar voice asked.

“Letget the I.V. in and then we can.” The soft voice said. Something tight wrapped around my arm before a pinch in my hand.

The tightness went away and warmth spread through my body. “Okay, you can dim the lights.”

The lights went away and | was able to try to open my eyes. “I am going to put this heating blanket on you.” Looking through one

eye, | saw a female nurse say to me.

Nodding, she removed the blanket that was onand put a heavier one on my naked body. “I am going to have to look at that

bite mark.”

“Her ankle is broken too.” As | was able to look through my eyes, | saw Colt standing in the corner of the room with his arms folded.

A hand rested on my head and stroke my hair, makinglook over at Alec. He looked fucking pissed and scared at the stime.

“What happened?” | asked.

“What do you remember?” He asked as the nurse lifted the blanket and inspected my thigh. The door opened and another female

cin.

“A female doctor was requested then why are there two men in here?” She asked in a very disapproving way.

“One is her brother and the other is her husband.” | knew the nurse was a wolf but the doctor was human.

“Injuries?” The doctor looked at my chart.

“Broken ankle and hypothermia.”

“What about the thigh?” The doctor asked.

“Old wound from awhile ago. It's healing nicely, | just wanted to check it to make sure the crash didn’t disturb it.” The nurse waved

off the doctor's concern.

“Let's get an x-ray and see how bad the ankle is. Do you have a heated I.V in there?” The doctor looked at the fluids.

“] do. Her pulse is getting better and the confusion is less. She is mentally becoming more aware of her surroundings.” The nurse

looked atand nodded.

“Great. Letknow when the radiographs are back.” She said and walked out.

“Bitch.” I couldn't help myself.

“Yes well, your bite marks do look okay. If there was anything, the cold water killed it all. Your color is looking better but | want to

do this bag and another bag of fluids before your mate takes you home.”

“Any long lasting injuries?” Colt asked.

“] don’t think so. As soon as we get out of the danger zone of hypothermia, she will get her wolf back and she will heal her in one

time. Everything she said was her subconscious coming back out. Like you said, her past trauma is still with her. As soon as she is

warm, she can go home.” The nurse smiled and walked out.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
