It was pitch black where I was.

Then I realized my eyes were closed.

I was alive, I could feel my own body.

Suddenly a wave of pain hit me.

Tears sprung to my eyes at the force of it.

What was happening to me?

I screamed as another wave hit me, this one much stronger.

Why? What had I done to deserve this?

I tried to talk but everytime I opened my mouth I would

My ears buzzed, my body felt hot.

My body hurt, I could feel my bones breaking.

The pain was unbearable, I swear I almost bit through my lip trying not to scream.

I could hear Chris, whispering to me.

I tried to talk to him but everytime I opened my mouth, a scream would escape.

I could hear Chris sobbing in the back ground.

I wanted to reach out and reassure him that everything would be okay.

Even if I didn't know what was happening.

Finally I couldn't stand it.

I let unconsciousness take me.

--------------------CHRIS ------------------

She was still.

Too still.

But then it happened.

The snapping of a bone, as she began her first shift.

A loud scream escaped Sam's lips as her back bent in the air.

I instantly took a step to help her, but Amy stopped me.

"Leave her alone, she has to go through this and you can't do anything to help."

"Will she make it? She looks in so much pain. Can't you do something?" I winced, as another bone snapped.

She was shaking by now, sobbing as the force of the shift caused her body to shift into akward positions.

"Ive pumped as much morphine as I could, since I came up with the idea." Amy grimaced as Sam let out another blood curling scream. "Now all we do is wait and hope she makes it through this. "

"She has to make it through this" I sighed and sat back down "She has to "

"This is going to be a long day, might as well catch up on your sleep" She said a hand on my shoulder "Doctors orders."

"I can't" I shook my head.

I couldn't, not while Sam was in here in pain.

Because of me.

"I'll have Byron bring you some food Then "

Before she left I grabbed her hand.
