Steele

I woke to a dull beeping noise, a warm hand enclosing my own, and a searing pain in my chest

"Wh-whats going on...?" I gasped, grabbing my chest as more pain shot through me

"Oh Steele!" I heard two female voices gasp, as my mother and Kelly stepped in to view

"What happened? Where am I?" I demanded, ignoring the throb

"Your in the hospital, I'll call the doctor and your mother can explain." Kelly smiled gently, resting her hand on my arm as tears fell from her eyes "I'm glad your okay." She whispered, resting her hand on my arm in that motherly-way. I missed, watching as she pressed the button before stepping outside

"What do you remember?" My mother asked me quietly, her voice thick

"I remember going to sleep with Ace....and then....and then I remember her father bursting in yelling about a barn fire. Ace and I ran outside, and then....and then I can't remember! Mom why can't I remember?! Where's Ace?!" I yelled, fighting to sit up, the pain bringing black dots before my eyes

"Honey-" she was cut off by a doctor walking in

"Good afternoon, Mr. Grahms." He smiled

"No, just-just wait. Where is Ace, mom?! What happened?! Why isn't she here?!" I demanded, becoming frantic as I reached over and shut the button on the annoying beeping machine

"Son, calm down." The doctor tried ordering

"WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?!" I roared, tears starting to fill my eyes

"Right now, we need to worry about you." The doctor told me, no longer calm

"No. I don't talk until one of you tells me where she is, and what happened." I snapped, glaring at the man only a few years older than myself. He sighed, tossing his clipboard on a small counter before crossing his arms and motioning towards my mother to explain

"Molly was in the barn," she started, and right away I knew

"She ran inside...." I whispered, feeling my heart clench and my stomach drop

"Yes, she did. You ran in after her. The firemen said they found you holding Aces hand, a bandana around you face, and bandanas covering the lower half of Aces face and Molly's nose." She explained, and it all snapped back into my mind

Timber cracked around me, and a board from the loft floor fell, landing right beside me
"Ace!" I yelled, the bandana muffling my voice. Half burned horses were laying in stalls, fire licking around crators it'd burned into their bodies. Flinching at the smell, I hurried on, trying to find Ace. After checking 8 more stalls.

"Steele, you need to calm down!" My mother screamed, shaking my arm. The room was feeling small, like the walls were slowly closing in on me

"Sir, you need to breathe." The doctor stated, once again the definition of calm

I found her lying on the ground with Molly; it was the only part of the barn that seemed untouched
"Ace." I coughed, my bandana nearly completely dry. If I didn't get us out soon.... We'd both be goners. I laid one of the extras I'd brought over Molly's nose, and the other over the lower portion of Aces face before trying to pick her up.
