The Last Letter

Introduction Chapter [Pt.I]

The ambulance sirens sounded loud telling every other vehicle to move out of the way. Inside the ambulance lay a seventeen year old girl. Pale. Losing the redness at a fast pace, while the paramedics tried to stop her from losing too much blood. The father of the unconscious girl sat there holding one of hands speaking soothing words with tears in his eyes as they sped through the city of London to the nearest hospital, HOPE.

Meanwhile, 11 miles away, at the Richmond's house, a phone call is received. Mr. Richmond answers.

❝Hello, is this the Richmonds' residence. That would be correct. May I ask who is this calling?❞

❝Sorry for calling at such a inconvenient time. But this is the receptionist from the HOPE hospital.❞

❝What happened miss?! Is any relative of ours admitted there?!❞

❝No sire. Not a relative but a patient named Aurora Summers has been taken to the surgery and her parent Mr. Summers requested your presence if it may be possible.❞

❝Oh dear. Is he girl okay now?❞

❝I'm afraid, I can't tell you as she has been taken in for a major surgery.❞

❝Oh no! Could you call Mr. Summers for a moment, if you may please. It would take only a few moments.❞

❝Sure. Here.❞

❝Adam! Rora... she... I... ❞

❝George. Calm down! How is she now?❞

❝I don't know! The doctor said that it's serious... I'm scared Adam... What if..❞

❝Nothing will happen to her. She is a strong person man! We are all coming! I'd have to tell Aaron though, he is at his soccer practice. God! Stay there okay? We're coming. We're leaving a minute. Don't worry.❞

❝O-Okay. Please come soon. I don't know what am I gonna do if something happens to her! Bye.❞

❝Yeah. Okay! Bye.❞

The line goes off.

Some shuffling around in the Richmonds' household.

Whispers.

Gasps.

Sniffling.

"Be quick Marissa."

"One minute. Let me grab Leah's diapers."

Sniffling.

The front door opens.

"Mom? Dad? Where are you going?" Aaron.
